2. SECTION B – Bid Forms

Addendum 2

IFB No. 24-33-SD

Page 1 of 2

ANSWER: Yes, rolled and welded steel will be acceptable as long as it meets the

requirements.

2. Bid Item No. Z (Note: now Item No. AA) on the Section B Bid Form calls for 1,075/EA

of Wetland Plantings. Where are these identified on the Drawings? Is there a

specification as to what specific plantings should be bid?

ANSWER: See attachment F of the IFB.

3. Since there is no Geotechnical soil reports available, are prospective bidders able to do

dig test pits along the proposed pipeline route?

ANSWER: The proposed bidders may preform dig testing as long as they are within the

County easement(s). The proposed bidders shall conform to all State and County

requirements regarding access, land disturbance and erosion and sediment controls.

4. Would Tindall’s T-Series manholes be accepted as an alternate to a standard round

manhole?

ANSWER: The County will accept Tindall’s T-Series manholes as an alternate as long as

they meet the County standards. Please submit documentation that they meet the

standards.

5. Please note that Contract Item No. “U” - 50” Steel casing appears to represent the supply

and installation for both a 50” Steel Casing that is installed by Jack & Bore, as well as,

50” Casings that is installed by open cut at several stream crossings.

Please be advised the installation of that casing by Jack & Bore is significantly different

than installation by open cut with substantial costs variations.

Also, the installation by open cut is a “Self Performed” item, while the installation by

Jack & Bore is performed by a specialty Sub-Contractor.

Considering the above, we are requesting that separate contract pay items be provided for

the 50” Casing by Jack and Bore and 50” Casings at stream crossings.

ANSWER: The Bid form has been updated. See attached.
