Question:
Page JS-35 of the specifications changes the basis of payment for Repairs to Structural Concrete Masonry (Patching Mortar) from cubic feet to square feet. Since the depth of the patches is unknown, the contractor has no way of estiimating with any degree of accuracy the volume of material that will be required. Please change the method of measurement and payment to cubic feet as specified in the RIDOT Standard Specifications. |

Answer:
Page JS-35 will be deleted via addendum. This quantity will be measured by cubic foot as requested. |

Question:
The last sentence of paragraph #5, page CS-4 (contract specific), states that "No separate payment shall be made" for cleaning storm drain structures after final riding surface - and prior to acceptance of the project. If items #37 & #38 are performed during this time frame will they be paid for? |
|
Answer:
CS-4 Paragraph 5 requires the contractor to clean the drain system, e.g. pipes and structures, before final paving as indicated, and so the contractor shall perform the work for Item #37 & #38 before paving. The intent is to clean and identify any issues that need repair prior to final paving. After the final riding surface has been applied and prior to acceptance of the overall project, the Contractor shall clean and remove from storm drain structures any construction debris or other foreign materials generated by the construction operations, as required in accordance with Section 104.11. |

Question:
Page JS-34 Code 808.9901 Cast-in-Place Concrete Median Barrier calls for constructing barrier to the lines & deminsions as shown of RI Std. 40.1.0. The barrier to be replaced on sheet i of the plans is std. 40.2.0. Is the intent to replace the barrier in kind (40.2.0) or to the lines & dimensions of std. 40.1.0? |
|
Answer:
The intent is to replace the barriers in kind; therefore, an addendum shall include a minor revision to this specification to state, "RI Std. 40.1.0 or 40.2.0, as applicable." |
