Questions and Answers

1. Q: Why is there a second mobilization line item included for the Alternate Bid?

A: This was included to cover additional cost associated with equipment needed to haul in and

install concrete headwalls.

2. Q:

Will aluminum pipes and headwalls be allowed as an equivalent material?

Bids shall be based on RCP and concrete headwalls. Once project is awarded, contractor

may submit a request for use of an alternate material; however, they will be required to

submit speciﬁcations for County review, and the County does not guarantee that any

alternate material will be approved. If an alternate material is approved, the unit price may

need to be adjusted accordingly.

3. Q: Will shop drawings be required for the headwalls?

A: Yes

4. Q: Is the road closed?

A: The section of road where the original culvert washed away is closed; however, the

remainder of the road to the east and west is open to traﬃc.

5. Q: What happens to the existing pipe?

A: County staﬀ will remove the existing pipe. Contractor will be responsible for clearing any

debris under the Clearing & Grubbing line item.

6. Q:

Are there any utilities near the project?

The site was not surveyed and utilities were not located. There is an abandoned waterline

in the area; the active waterline does not extend through the limits of this project.

Contractor is responsible for identifying and coordinating any conﬂicts with other utilities

that may be in the area.

7. Q:

Will there be any rock installed?

The road surface shall be rebuilt with 6” GABC as listed on the Bid Form. Grouted riprap

will be installed under the Prime Bid as listed on the Bid Form. If the Alternate Bid is

chosen by the County, it is assumed that riprap will still be required with the design unless

the shop drawings show otherwise.

8. Q: Are there any additional details that can be provided for the headwalls? Straight or

wingwall?

A: Headwalls should be straight, wing walls are not required.

9. Q: Is #57 stone suﬃcient?

A: Rock surface shall be rebuilt with 6” GABC.

10. Q: What erosion control blanket should be used?

A: A temporary erosion control blanket meeting requirements in SCDOT technical speciﬁcation

SC-M-815-9 shall be used in conjunction with slopes of 2:1 or ﬂatter. Slopes greater than

2:1 are not allowed. It is preferred that a product from SCDOT’s qualiﬁed product list be

used.

11. Q: What geotextile fabric should be used for riprap?

A: Class 2 non-woven geotextile shall be used under riprap. It is preferred that a product from

SCDOT’s qualiﬁed product list be used.

12. Q:

Will bypass pumping of the stream or wetland be needed for this project? If so, can a line

item on the bid form be added?

It is the responsibility of the Contractor to determine means and methods for construction

of the project. This cost needed to cover means\methods should be included in the current

line items.

13. Q:

Will survey be needed for this project or are the inverts of the new pipe going to be the

exact elevation of the existing pipe. If so, could a line item be added to the bid form.

Survey is not being requested for this project, the new pipe should be placed at the same

elevation as the old pipe.

14. Q: What all needs to be included in the shop drawings for the 72” RCP?

A: Shop drawings are not needed for the RCP; however, a pipe submittal from the

supplier\manufacturer will be required.

Shop drawings will be required for the headwalls if the County chooses to add this alternate

bid item. SCDOT standard drawing 719-605-00 or FHWA standard drawing series 601 are

some examples of what shop drawings should include. A manufacturer’s signed\stamped

drawing is acceptable.

15. Q: Will a complete road closure be used for the duration of this project?

A: No, there are property driveways on this roadway that access to must be maintained at all

times. See response to Question 4 for more information.

16. Q: Can SCDOT standard drawing 722-305-00 for the grouted riprap be provided?

A: This was an incorrect label on the exhibit. There is not a standard detail for grouted riprap.

Contractor will be required to provide a submittal for proposed grout.

17. Q:

Prime bid item 11 has a quantity of 0.0 Ac, is this to be paid out as a lump sum for the unit

price put in?

This quantity should be 0.01 Ac. This has been corrected, and a revised bid form has been

attached to this addendum.

18. Q:

After visiting the site there is a thin wall PVC waterline visible in the slope going up Eagle

Dr. Is there any concern of the weight of the RCP sitting on top of this waterline,

assuming that the new water line continues through the bottom of the creek bed?

According to the water utility, the visible waterline is abandoned, and there is not an active

line in the project limits. If, during construction, any utility conﬂict is discovered, the

Contractor will be responsible for coordinating with the provider for any relocation needed.
