Question:
PLEASE CLARIFY THE ALLOWED TIMES FOR STAGES 1D / 2D. THE TMP STATES THAT 2 LANES CAN ONLY BE TAKEN DURING 8 PM TO 6 AM. IF THE STRUCTURAL STEEL IS NOT INSTALLED IN ONE NIGHT WHICH DOES NOT SEEM POSSIBLE, DOES THE BARRIER NEED TO BE MOVED TOWARDS THE MEDIAN AND RESET THE FOLLOWING NIGHT. IS IT THE DEPARTMENT INTENTIONS THAT THE BARRIER WILL BE MOVED EVERY NIGHT UNTIL THE STEEL IS INSTALLED. THERE SEEEMS TO BE NOT ENOUGH TIME TO SET UP THE BARRIER, INSTALL THE STEEL, REMOVE BARRIER AND RESTORE THREE LANES IN ONE NIGHT FOR BOTH BOUNDS. ALSO THE REMOVE AND RESET BARRIER ITEM DOES NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ALL THE MOVES. |

Answer:
It is should be understood that multiple nights are expected to be required to install the superstructure steel. Steel placement and barrier movement need not occur for both bounds during the same night. Typical lane closures for a single bound may be performed with barrels and/or cones per MUTCD requirements if feasible based on the required crane and steel erection submittals to be developed and submitted by the contractor. |

Question:
Since the addendums removed the accelerated portions of the bridge (precast items) and the bridge is conventional construction, how does the desincentives and incentives apply to the project? Has the Department performed a time determination without ABC to see if the completion date can be met? |
|
|
Answer:
The project is still considered ABC due to the limited time constraint for completion. The incentive / dis-incentive still apply per the JS specifications accordingly. The precast items are not necessary to achieve the required substantial completion date. Due to the extended advertising time for this contract, the contract milestone dates will be extended accordingly as part of Addendum No. 8. Addendum No. 7 will postpone the bid opening until 1/17/18 to provide time to account for these changes. |

Question:
Is it possible to have Volume 1 of the plans resubmitted through an addendum for download? I do not know about others, but after sheet 85 there are major printing issues. The document continues to cycle back and begin again at sheet 85 (ex: prints 85-92, then 85-95, then 85-104...). Even printing the individual sheets is challenging. |
|
|
Answer:
The issues may be linked to the equipment/software being used to print the files as we are not experiencing printing issues with the files provided on the advertising CD. If printing issues remain, please post an additional question stating so. |
