Description

ADDENDUM 2 DATE: August 11, 2017 TO: All Prospective Bidders Linda Tucker (City Administrator, City of Isle of Palms) FROM: Steven Traynum (CSE Project Manager) _________________ Haiqing Kaczkowski (CSE Project Engineer) _________________ RE: Isle of Palms Renourishment Project– Charleston County, South Carolina Answers to questions submitted by potential bidders follow: 1) Will you elaborate on the purpose for the Priority areas within the borrow area? The priority areas are the only areas that should be used during the project. All excavations must be within the permitted areas; however, the boundary of the priority areas within the permitted areas is flexible if the material remains acceptable. It is the intent that no areas outside of the priority area E and all of F will be used unless necessary. This should keep the dredge in the best available material. 2) Will the contractor be allowed to disturb material below the required grade? Material may be disturbed below the 8 ft dredge limit (7 ft face plus one foot of overdredge); however, geotechnical data are limited to what is shown on the plans. The average cut depth for each swing of the dredge shall be no more than 8 ft. 3) Are bonds required for both bid sheets? Bidders are not required to submit separate bonds for each bid. The bond should state that it covers both bids and is in an amount of at least the highest bid. 4) Will the engineer identify all the available construction access points? 53rd Avenue is the only heavy (tracked) equipment access. The other accesses capable of handling a vehicle are adjacent to the Property Owners Beach House near station 280+00 and at To: Owner and All Prospective Bidders RE: Addendum 2 –Isle of Palms Restoration Project August 11, 2017 Page 2 of 4 Summer Dunes Lane near station 302+00. There are several walking access points at the condo units where people can park and walk to the site. Barged equipment and material may be brought in along the shoreline just north of the project area in Dewees Inlet. 5) If the Wave deflection barrier is not removed prior to dredging, will the contractor be responsible for ponding that will occur between the beach fill and the property line? The Contractor will not be responsible for ponding occurring after the project, but is encouraged to attempt to limit water flow from pumping operations from going landward of the dike/berm as the fill progresses in that area.
