THE FOLLOWING RESPONSES/CLARIFICATIONS ARE PROVIDED BY THE TOWN IN RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS/COMMENTS RECEIVED: 1. Bid submission deadline is extended until Monday, December 11th, 2023, at 2:00 P.M. 2. During the pre-bid conference meeting, a question arose about the size of the manholes and the tee inside of them. Response: The plans have been revised to accurately depict the appropriate manhole size. Refer to Sheet CP-502. 3. At the pre-bid conference meeting, there was a question about the asphalt mix design specifications. Response: The General Specifications have been revised to accurately depict the current FDOT Standards. Refer to Sheet GI-003 4. In the pre-bid conference meeting, there was a question concerning the force main pipe on 92nd Street. Response: Chlorination has been removed from Bid Section 33 01 11. 5. It is impossible to determine how much flowable fill might be directed by the owner. The quantity of flowable fill is not defined and is “as directed” in the measurement and payment. If we were to price flowable fill as backfill in all areas, due to its cost compared to traditional backfill, it would be astronomical and not be fair to the owner or bidders and create an unfair and noncompetitive bid for all. Please include a unit price line item for Flowable fill or remove/amend the following language. Currently all the Measurement & Payment descriptions include the following language: “The unit price for this item shall include the cost 1 of labor, equipment, …excavation [including sheeting, shoring, bracing, dewatering, and any measures associated with dewatering; backfill (including flowable fill if so directed by the OWNER) compaction and testing; the cost of temporary pavement …” Response: The language stating “(including flowable fill if so directed by the OWNER)” has been replaced with “suitable backfill” The means and methods are left to the contractor’s discretion. Please refer to the revised Measurements and Payments Section 01 29 00. 6.
