Questions During Bid Phase

QUESTION:

ANSWER:

Can the working hours be extended beyond 5PM?

Yes, on a case-by-case basis. It should not be considered a habit, but

if mix is going down and it can allow an area to be finished that day it

would be considered acceptable. Starting before 7AM is not

acceptable.

QUESTION:

ANSWER:

Do you really want to mill a butt joint along the parking on south street

the entire length? It would likely be cost prohibitive for the size of the

project?

No. The bid quantities have been revised to allow for a full width

(curb to curb) shim and overlay on South Street. Refer to revised bid

schedule.

QUESTION:

ANSWER:

What is your expectation for driveway interfaces which are down gradient

from the road centerline?

When paving the apron, contractor can pave a small (shallow) swale

across the drive way or raise the edge of the paving and provide a lip

so that runoff is retained on the road.

QUESTION:

ANSWER:

What road would be removed if you don’t have enough budget?

likely lower plains road. The Town reserves the right to remove an

alternate location however, depending on the bid pricing.

QUESTION:

ANSWER:

Are bonds required for the project, there is some conflicting information in

the documents?

No. The Town will not require a bid bond or the payment /

performance bonds. This is an error and bidders can consider any

reference to bonds stricken in the current contract. The final contract

will be adjusted accordingly.
