RFR NUMBER 4454

DUE DATE 2:00 PM October 15, 2009 This Addendum is a contract document modifying previously issued documents, which remain in full force except as specifically modified below. Quotations appearing on the Proposal are to reflect the provisions of this Addendum. Failure to acknowledge receipt of this Addendum in the space provided on the response sheet may subject candidate to disqualification. A second Pre-Bid Conference was held at 11:00 AM on September 25, 2009 at the project site. The following questions were asked by attendees during the conference. The answers are provided in Bold text. 1. Is there an access manhole in the junction chamber at the upstream end of

Section 4? The 1955 ACOE plans of the upstream conduit indicate that there is a 2’ by 7’ rectangular access manhole in the junction chamber directly in front of the MDC outfall flood gate. There are two steel cover plates at the top of the manhole – a 3/8” checkered steel upper cover and a 7/16” watertight inner cover. This has not been confirmed in the field and it is unknown if access from this manhole is possible. It is expected that the contractor will use the intermediate manholes and inlets shown on the contract plans for material access, personnel access and confined space requirements.

2. When will the project start? The project is expected to start at the end of November, 2009.

3. Will the bid opening be extended? Yes, the bid opening is scheduled for 2:00 A.M. October 15, 2009.

How frequently does the water in the conduit rise during storm flows? The Town of Wethersfield has indicated that Folly Brook has a history of rising suddenly during some storm events. The frequency and severity of the storm events during which this happens is unknown.

4. Is there City property in the vicinity of the project where a field office can be located? A field office can be located in the vacant area on the east side of the South Meadows Pump Station, located northeast of the project site. Parking for workers will not be allowed at this location since the existing parking area must be available for City personnel working at the pump station.

5. Is a 300 square foot field office area for the Engineer necessary? The Engineer’s office space shall be 150 square feet minimum and shall have one (1) office desk and chair, along with the other furnishings described in the specifications.

6. What is the maximum permissible spacing of construction joints in the new invert slabs? There is no maximum spacing of construction joints in the new concrete inverts.

7. What type of special insurance requirements are required for this project? Railroad Insurance and Builder's Risk Insurance 8. Please provide Appendix A Information Provided in this Addenda as an Attachment.

Quotations appearing on the Proposal are to reflect the provisions of this Addendum. Failure to acknowledge receipt of this Addendum in the space provided on the response sheet may subject candidate to disqualification. Please see all attachments on the following pages. There is a second non-mandatory Pre-Bid Conference scheduled for September 25, 2009 at 11:00 AM at 1010 Wethersfield Avenue, Hartford, CT. Hartford Based Bidder Advantage is non-applicable for this Project based on the funding source.

A revised Construction Project Summary Sheet will be uploaded on Addenda# 2

F:\P97\97279\F24 - Folly Brook Conduit Design\Report of Pre-Bid Meeting 2009-09-18.doc

A Pre-Bid Conference was held at 11:00 AM on September 18, 2009 at the project site. Thefollowing questions were asked by attendees during the conference. The answers are providedin Bold text.1. What is the deadline for questions?

The City will accept questions from the contractors until 72 hours prior to the October 8,2009 bid opening.

2. What is the contract period?

The contract period is 180 calendar days from Notice to Proceed.

3. Is the temporary by-pass pipe the only method allowed for handling water during construction?

The cofferdam and temporary by-pass pipe shown on the plans is a suggested method forhandling water during construction and the contractor is free to develop his own method,which must be prepared by a Professional Engineer and submitted to the City for reviewand approval.

4. Does any sewage discharge from the upstream MDC overflow pipe need to be conveyed separatelyor treated?

There is a possibility that combined sewage flow may enter the conduit from the MDCoverflow pipe located at the junction chamber at the upstream end of Section 4. It isintended that any combined sewage flow entering the conduit will be conveyed through thetemporary by-pass pipe with no treatment.

5. Is the conduit considered a confined space?

The conduit is considered a confined space and all appropriate protective measures shall betaken to ensure the safety of the workers in the conduit.

6. Is the conduit open at the upstream end of Section 4 and is access allowed from the upstream end?

The length of the entire conduit is approximately 3,400 feet long and the upstream conduitentrance is approximately 2,200 feet from the limit of work at the upstream end of Section 4.Construction access from the conduit entrance was not anticipated due to this excessivedistance. It is intended that construction access will be via the conduit outlet end and themanholes and storm inlets shown on the plans. Access via manholes on private propertywill require independent negotiations between the contractor and property owner.

7. Where is the staging area?

The intended staging area is along the south side of the access road to the South MeadowsPump Station. A 40 foot clear area must be maintained between the fence along the northedge of the access road and the staging area to allow parking and traffic flow.

8. How much rock removal is anticipated and how will it be paid for if needed to achieve theminimum 6” concrete invert thickness shown on the Section No. 4 Invert detail?

A new item for rock removal has been added to the contract. A maximum quantity of 10cubic feet of rock removal is anticipated.

9. Are there any photos available for review of the inside of the conduit?

Representative photos of typical conditions inside the conduit are provided on the followingpages.

Chilled mixing water or chopped ice may be used to controltemperature, provided water equivalent of ice is calculated to total amount of mixingwater. Using liquid nitrogen to cool concrete is Contractor's option.

2. Cover steel reinforcement with water-soaked burlap so steel temperature will notexceed ambient air temperature immediately before embedding in concrete.
