Florida Governmental Utility Authority (FGUA) Lift Station No. 6 Replacement Project

FGUA Project No. PSP09

Addendum No. 1

The following are revisions and/or clarifications to the Bid Documents (Drawings and

Technical Specifications).

A. QUESTIONS

1. Question: Pages 00700-57 & 01600-6 of the specifications mention a one year

warranty. Pages 01030-9 & 01720-4 mention a two year warranty. Please advise

if the contract is to have a one year or two year warranty.

Response: The warranty period for the work shall be one-year from date of

Substantial Completion. See Section C of this addendum for revisions to Sections

01030 & 01720.

2. Question: For the installation of the new below grade structures, is a caisson method acceptable? Response: Caisson method shall not be an acceptable method of installing below grade structures.

3. Question: Can a line item be added to the bid form for compensation if sheeting

is to be left in place? (Reference page 02221-10)

Response: The base project bid shall be based on the removal of all sheeting used to facilitate construction, therefore the addition of a bid item for sheeting left in place will not be added to the bid form. If the Contractor is directed to leave any sheeting in place, this will be considered a change to the Contract and the Contractor will be compensated in accordance with the Contract Documents.

4. Question: Can the geotechnical report be posted in an addendum? (Reference

Page 00800-1)

Response: The geotechnical report and FDEP permit are being added as attachments to the Specifications. See Section C of this addendum for revision.

1. CHANGE the paragraph in Specification Section 01030, Part 1.21, A to read as

follows:

“A. It is assumed that portions of the work will be completed prior to completion

of the entire work. Upon completion of construction in each individual

facility, including testing, if the Owner, at his sole discretion, desires to

accept the individual facility, the Contractor will be issued a dated certificate

of completion and acceptance for each individual facility. The Owner will

assume ownership and begin operation of the individual facility on that date

and the one-year guaranty period shall commence on that date. The Owner

has the option of not accepting any individual completed facility, but

accepting the entire work as a whole when it is completed and tested.”

2. CHANGE the paragraph in Specification Section 01720, Part 1.07 A to read as

follows:

“A. This manual shall contain all warranties, guarantees, bonds, certificates,

and similar documents, including those customarily provided by

correction period. Show Owner as beneficiary on these documents.”

ADDENDUM NO. 1 Page 4

“2. In general, sheeting and bracing shall be removed as the excavation is

backfilled in such a manner as to avoid the caving in of the bank or

disturbance of adjacent areas or structures. The voids left by withdrawal of

the sheeting and bracing shall be carefully filled by jetting, ramming or other

means approved by the Engineer. Permission shall be obtained from the

Engineer prior to removal of any sheeting or bracing. Permission shall not

relieve the Contractor of any responsibility for damage due to failure to leave

such sheeting and bracing in place.”

3. The Engineer may order, in writing, any or all sheeting or bracing to be left

in place for the purpose of preventing injury to adjacent structures, property,

etc. If left in place, such sheeting shall be cut off at the elevation ordered,

but in no case less than thirty-six (36) inches below the existing grade.

Bracing remaining in place shall be driven in tight. The right of the Engineer

to order sheeting and bracing to remain in place shall not be construed as

creating any obligation on his part to issue such orders. Payment for

sheeting and bracing, unless specifically called for on the Drawings shall

not be paid under separate item, but shall be included in the payment for

other items of Work.”

4. DELETE paragraph in Section 02222, Part 3.07, A.
