Question Date Asked Answer Date Answered

Please clarify the correct completion time? Pg 24 of the IFB shows 270 days. Pgs 66-67 show 365 + 60 days. 4/22/2025 8:46:35 AM

1.Plans sheet 6 shows the wet well riser piping material as Ductile Iron. Will the city accept HDPE from the base elbows to the check valves in the VB. Please advise.

2.Is the old WW being converted to a MH need to be lined with Raven 405 coating. Please advise.

3.Plan sheet 4 shows the use of a line stop. Please advise what materials this needs to be made of (SS or Epoxy).

4.Plan sheet 4 in general note #2 calls for "install vapor barrier prior to concrete placement". This is normal for a house slab but have never seen it required for a driveway or slab area around a station. Please advise.

5.Plan sheet 5 shows a 6" plug valve on the suction line of the by-pass pump. Is this needed since there is no pressure from this pipe if it needs to be disconnected. Please advise.

6.Plan sheet 5 shows a pressure gauge on the vacuum suction line. I believe the tradewinds unit comes standard with this gauge on the side of it. Please advise if the second redundant gauge is still going to be required. 4/25/2025 11:19:27 AM

Is there a schedule of bid items (and units) or is it a single lump sum bid? p.24 of the project manual has a blank schedule of values. p.196 Summary of Work (SECTION 01110) says it’s a single lump sum contract amount. The Summary as well as the Measurement and Payment (SECTION 01270) are generalized and vary vague, yet indicates contractor is responsible for items “whether specifically indicated in the Contract Documents or not.” Is CPH going to add items after the contract award and/or during construction and make the contractor responsible for them even though it wasn’t in the bid price? Who confirms and/or validates what “is reasonably and properly inferable and necessary for the proper completion of the Work,”? 5/5/2025 7:15:56 AM
