Addendum #5 Organization: Town of Superior Project Name: Community Center Improvements Project Number: PW 2026-07 Date: June 15th, 2026 Addendum 1 Includes: A. Questions and Answers B. Updated Bid Schedule Pricing Sheet A. Q&A 1. The micropile detail on Sheet 19 indicates centralizer spacers at 12" centers along the reinforcing bar. Based on typical industry practice and installation considerations, this spacing appears unusually tight. We would expect centralizers to be spaced on the order of several feet rather than inches. Please confirm whether the intended spacing is: 12 inches on center as shown or 12 feet on center (or another spacing), which may have been intended. Spacing is intended to be on the order of feet. Should actually be 10’ centers along reinforcing bar. 2. The structural details require Williams Form WMS-MPB-40-TC underpinning brackets and 40-kip allowable capacity for micropiles. The bracket callout infers that loading is in compression and tension. Can the structural confirm if the 40-kip capacity is required in compression and tension loading? Is there a structural tension load that requires underpinning bracket to have tension capacity? There is no need for underpinning bracket to have 40k tension capacity. The 40k uplift resistance needs to be provided between the soil and the micropile. 3. Will the Town of Superior allow ADS HP Storm per AASHTO M330 (corrugated dual wall polypropylene storm pipe) to be bid as a value engineer alternate to the RCP storm sewer pipe that is specified on the plans? Can be a discussion during submittal process but can bid as an alternate VE item. The RCP bid item should still be stated. 4. In the RFB, section 2.5 states "On the Bid the price of each item shall be stated in numerals and words." The bid form doesn't provide a place to write the amount in words. Please clarify how you would like the bid form filled out. State numeric quantity on provided bid sheet, no need to be stated in words. 5. On the bid schedule and project time line form it states " Contractor agrees to pay all taxes", but Section 2.5 states " No Bid shall include federal excise taxes or state or local sales or use taxes." Please confirm that this project is tax exempt? This is a city project and is tax exempt. 6. The removal of curb and gutter looks like it will need clearing & grubbing behind the curb and will need tree and shrub removal as well.
