Written Questions and Comments Submitted
1. Question: What is the Project completion time?
Response: The water structure must be complete on construction season 2024. For the final
restoration can be completed spring 2025.
2. Question: Can you explain paving? Description in spec. doesn’t seem to match Bid Item
description in M&P. Are we putting Temp. Pave down? How paid?
Response:
Temporary pavement shall not be measured separately for payment, but the costs thereof
shall be included in the unit price bid for the applicable work items under "PIPELINE
SYSTEMS”. According with our specifications in Section 01-01000 Section 7.5.2 “To
account for settlement, the Contractor at his discretion (and at no additional expense to the
OWNER) may install a two (2”) inch temporary pavement and then remove it to apply full
depth pavement after a settlement period.”
Final restoration shall be in accordance with Section 0800 of Specifications and shall be in
accordance with the corresponding town requirements.
3. Question: Item 6-Gravel Borrow. Is this for road base gravel? If not, how is road gravel
paid for?
Response: When trench excavation removes solid rock in place, detached rock, ledge, or
boulders measuring one (1.0) cubic yard or more; gravel borrow from off-site shall be
brought in for backfilling to replace the unsuitable materials and be paid by the ton.
4. Question: Regarding the Bid Bond amount for project reference above. On page 5 of 16 the
callout for a Bid Bond is $16,000 but on page 00100-3 the callout is for $50,000. I’d like to
confirm the Bid Bond amount for this project is $50,000.
Response: The correct amount is $16,000; page 00100-3 has been attached in this
addendum with the amount fixed.
All other provisions of the project shall remain as stated in the original Contract Documents.
Respectfully,
PROVIDENCE WATER SUPPLY BOARD
