3. Bidder Questions/Concerns and Department Responses:
Bidder Concern 1: Section 2.2 of the structure provisions, page ST-22,
“Prefabricated Steel Pratt Truss Bridge,” lists Contech Engineer Solutions and Excel
Bridge Company as manufacturers in Section 2.2.A.”
Department Response 1: Both companies have been removed from section 2.2
(2) because neither of them is on the Approved Products List as approved;
they only appear as Approved for Provisional Use. (See attached revised
structure provisions).
Bidder Concern 2: “Will manufacturers currently listed on the NCDOT Approved
Products List under Structures / Pedestrian Bridges be considered acceptable
(preapproved) for this project?”
Department Response 2: Yes. All manufacturers on the Approved Products
List at this time have the status of “Approved for Provisional Use.” Contact
Structures Management Unit prior to use on project and notify the Materials
& Tests Unit for prefabrication inspection.
Bidder Concern 3: Is Section 2.2.B intended to allow manufacturers not currently
appearing on the NCDOT Approved Products List, including Excel Bridge
Company, to be accepted through the review process described there?
Department Response 3: The manufacturer can be approved through the
submittal process for this project only; the vendor can request to be added to
the Approved Products List through the Materials &Tests Unit.
Bidder Concern 4: If so, does that project-specific review process differ from
NCDOT’s usual approved-products requirements for pedestrian bridges?”
Department Response 4: The project specific review would determine if the
manufacturer was acceptable to produce the specific bridge used for this project
only. A blanket approval of all products produced by the manufacturer would be
a different process.
Bidder Concern 5: Please clarify whether manufacturer acceptability for this project
is governed by the NCDOT Approved Products List or by the manufacturer and
substitution language in Sheet BL-0008, Section 2.2.
Department Response 5: Both methods can result in a manufacturer being
able to produce the bridges used for this project.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
If you have any questions, please contact the Division Proposal Engineer at (828) 331-
5200.

Wes Jamison, P.E.

FALSEWORK AND FORMWORK
(11-30-23)
GENERAL
Use this Special Provision as a guide to develop temporary works submittals required by the
Standard Specifications or other provisions; no additional submittals are required herein. Such
temporary works include, but are not limited to, falsework and formwork.
Falsework is any temporary construction used to support the permanent structure until it becomes
self-supporting. Formwork is the temporary structure or mold used to retain plastic or fluid
concrete in its designated shape until it hardens. Access scaffolding is a temporary structure that
functions as a work platform that supports construction personnel, materials, and tools, but is not
intended to support the structure. Scaffolding systems that are used to temporarily support
permanent structures (as opposed to functioning as work platforms) are considered to be falsework
under the definitions given. Shoring is a component of falsework such as horizontal, vertical, or
inclined support members. Where the term “temporary works” is used, it includes all of the
temporary facilities used in bridge construction that do not become part of the permanent structure.
Design and construct safe and adequate temporary works that will support all loads imposed and
provide the necessary rigidity to achieve the lines and grades shown on the plans in the final
structure.
MATERIALS
Select materials suitable for temporary works; however, select materials that also ensure the safety
and quality required by the design assumptions. The Engineer has authority to reject material on
the basis of its condition, inappropriate use, safety, or nonconformance with the plans. Clearly
identify allowable loads or stresses for all materials or manufactured devices on the plans. Revise
the plan and notify the Engineer if any change to materials or material strengths is required.
DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
(A) Working Drawings
Provide working drawings for items as specified in the contract, or as required by the Engineer,
with design calculations and supporting data in sufficient detail to permit a structural and safety
review of the proposed design of the temporary work.
On the drawings, show all information necessary to allow the design of any component to be
checked independently as determined by the Engineer.
When concrete placement is involved, include data such as the drawings of proposed sequence,
rate of placement, direction of placement, and location of all construction joints.
When required, have the drawings and calculations prepared under the guidance of, and sealed
by, a North Carolina Registered Professional Engineer who is knowledgeable in temporary
works design.
If requested by the Engineer, submit with the working drawings manufacturer’s catalog data
listing the weight of all construction equipment that will be supported on the temporary work.
