The following are questions received from plan holders and the responses to those questions. North Star Painting Company, Inc. Question No. 1 How much painting of the steel structure is included in this contract. For example if you know the size of the bridge or any square footages of the areas that are going to be painted. Response: Please consult the framing plans provided for each bridge in the contract (B-18 and B-50). The framing plans show the beam sizes, cross frame members and other structural steel information. This information, along with beam lengths and stringer spacings, can be used to compute square footages for painting. Oldcastle Precast Pipe Question No.1 Does the RCP drainage pipe require gaskets? 9 of the spec references watertight gaskets but it doesn't call out exactly the use for the RCP. Would you please let me know what is required so I can quote the contractor correctly. Response: Yes, the RCP drainage pipes require watertight gaskets. Revised Estimate-Distribution of Quantities Sheet Reflecting these CHANGES will not be issued at this time, but all corrections will be made during the preparation of As-Builts.

The following are questions received from plan holders and the responses to those questions. Union Paving and Construction Co., Inc. September 2, 2008 Question No. 1 Page 178, note #9 indicates epoxy steel reinforcement costs are to be included with the deck concrete although the bid proposal contains an epoxy steel reinforcement pay item. Please clarify. Response: The note on this page refers to the nominal amount of concrete and

reinforcing steel associated with the diaphragms at the deck joints. Question No. 2 There is foundation excavation work to be performed at all structures although there is no pay item for this work in the bid proposal. Please clarify. Response: In the 2007 Specifications, foundation excavation is included in the pay item

for “Concrete Footing”. Question No. 3 Both bridges are shown to require deck joints although there is no pay item for this work in the proposal. Please clarify. Response: In the 2007 Specifications, deck joints are included in the pay items for

preformed elastomeric joint assembly. Question No. 4 Please verify the quantities of pay items #220 & 223. They appear to be off considerably. Response: Pay item 220 remains 386 C.Y. Pay item 223 was corrected to be 130 S.Y. Tarheel Enterprises, Inc. September 3, 2008




BERGEN COUNTY


Question No. 1 Contract Drawing B-12 shows a 1/2" open joint in the footing 9'-3" from the face of the abutment stem. Drawing B-14 shows no joint at all in the footing at that point. Which is true?

Response: Drawing B-14 was revised to show the ½” open joint in the footing. Question No. 2 What are the widths of the various footing pours shown on B-14? Response: See sections A-A, B-B and C-C on sheet B-14. Question No. 3 What is the extent of the cut-off walls between the foundation pours shown on B-14? Response: The cut-off walls are as long as the shorter wingwall footing against which

the cut-off wall is placed. Question No. 4 Contract Drawing B-39 shows the reinforcement in the headblock on the east abutment of the NJ Transit Bridge. The splices between the bars at the stagelines are shown taking place on the Stages 3 and 4 sides of the joint. How can the Stage 5 re-bar be installed to complete the splice while the concrete remains in Stage 5? If the splice is moved to the Stage 5 side of the joint, how can the re-bar protrude into the Stage 5 side while the concrete remains?

Response: Bridge abutment drawings were revised to show a contraction joint between construction stages in the abutment headblock and no splice of reinforcement.

Question No. 5 In the Notes on the Staging Plans, B-32 thru B-34, jacking is indicated as being 1/4" maximum. However, when reconstructed, the bridge seat at the center abutment joint raises from El. 28.468 to El. 28.606, an increase of more than an inch. How can this be accomplished?




BERGEN COUNTY


Response: The beam will be jacked up ¼” maximum to allow the existing bearing to be removed. Pier cap modifications will be done at this time and the proposed seismic isolation bearing will be installed in the space beneath the jacked beam and at the required height to meet the proposed bridge seat elevation and bottom of beam elevation.

Union Paving and Construction Co., Inc. September 8, 2008 Question No. 1 Special Provisions’ page 1 indicates the 2007 NJDOT Standard Specs will be used. Please verify this is correct. Response: The 2007 Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction are to be

used. Question No. 2 Re Pay item #3 and Section 107/152. It mentions the Port Authority as well as NJ transit – it appears ambiguous. Please clarify. Response: Provide insurance policies with the named insureds stated in the

specifications. Question No. 3 Bridge #2 has crash walls to be constructed. Please clarify what pay item this work is performed under. Response: The pay item is “Concrete Pier Column and Cap”. Question No. 4




BERGEN COUNTY


RW#2 – please provide top of wall elevations. Response: Top of wall elevations will be provided on sheet B-68. Question No. 5 Item #279 & #287 – please provide vertical pay limits. Response: Vertical pay limits are 3.5’ above finished grade. Question No. 6 Item #287 – limits shown on sheet #223 do not match that shown on the x-section sheets #116 & 117 – basically several of the x-sections for RW#2 show the excavation being sloped w/o temporary sheeting. Please clarify limits of #287. Response: The limits of Temporary Sheeting for Retaining Wall #2 should be as noted on

Plan Sheet 223. Question No. 7 Please clarify size of item #21. The size indicated in the Bid Proposal and the Distribution of Quantities differs. Response: The description on the EQ sheet will be changed to match the proposal. Question No. 8 There appears to be sawcutting of existing roadway pavement required on this project although there is no pay item. Please clarify. Response: In the 2007 Specifications, sawcut is no longer a separate pay item; it is

described in the work of various other pay items (i.e., HMA Pavement Repair, Removal of Sidewalks/Curbs/Driveways, Removal of Pavement and Milling). The cost for sawcutting should be included in those various other pay items for which sawcutting is required as part of the work.




BERGEN COUNTY


Question No. 9 Currently the plans do not required the bridge decks to be sawcut grooved. Please verify. Response: Sawcutting is included in the cost of “Concrete bridge Deck, HPC”. Question No. 10 Currently the plans do not require the bridge decks to be poured at night during potentially less traffic times to minimize vibrations. Please verify. Response: Night work for pouring the bridge decks is not required by the traffic control

plans. Investigation of requirements for night work and approval by the involved municipalities must be secured by the contractor in order to perform night work.

Question No. 11 Page #43 of Specs indicates only 3 pre-qualified contractors. Please provide additional contractors. Response: Three pre-qualified subcontractors were named by United Water for use on

this project. A. Servidone, Inc. /B. Anthony Construction Corp., J.V. September 9, 2008 Question No. 1 Item 159022P Construction Half Barrier Curb has a Proposal Quantity associated with it of 450 LF. Traffic Control Plan Sheet No. 77 shows Half Barrier Curb on the Section A-A detail, but Type 4 Class B Barrier on the Plan for Stage 5. The quantity of barrier curb required for the bridge over Route 17, alone is over 600 LF. This Half Barrier Curb, which is specified to be from Clampcrete Construction Systems (or approved equal) only appears to be required for the Stage 5 work on this bridge. Please clarify.




BERGEN COUNTY


Response: The Construction Half Barrier is intended for only on the bridge in Stage 5 as shown in Section A-A on Plan Sheet 77 and on Plan Sheet 159. Three runs of barrier within the bridge limits equals approximately 450 LF. Off the bridge standard construction barrier can be used.

Question No. 2 Proposal Line Items 223 & 259-Item 504036P Epoxy Waterproofing appear to be grossly overstated, especially if the unit is by the Square Yard. The details on Plan Sheets 166 & 170 do not support these quantities. Please advise. Response: Pay item 223 was corrected to be 130 S.Y. Pay item 259 was corrected to be

240 S.Y.

Question No. 3 We have questions concerning the limits of backfill and type of backfill for the Retaining Wall line Items 284 & 295. The Standard Detail BCD504-2.4 shows the limit of Porous Fill as 5 feet. The Standard Details shown on Plan Sheet 222 shows a detail for drainage behind the wall that is different. Please clarify. Response: As per Standard Detail BCD504-2.4, porous fill (I-9 Soil Aggregate) should be

provided behind the retaining walls. Standard Item No. 203009P, I-9 Soil Aggregate, is added to the contract, quantity equals 3,000 C.Y.

Union Paving and Construction Co., Inc. September 9, 2008 Question No. 1 Special Provisions’ page 1 indicates that New Jersey Department of Labor Prevailing Wage Determination and Specification for Pipeline Occupancy on New Jersey Transit Property are




BERGEN COUNTY


included in the Special Provisions package. Please provide these documents, as they are not in the package. Response: The New Jersey Department of Labor Prevailing Wage Determination and

Specification for Pipeline Occupancy on New Jersey Transit Property will be provided with this addendum.

Tarheel Enterprises, Inc. September 9, 2008 Question No. 1 Contract Dwg. B37 shows the NE Abutment Footing on the Bridge over NJ Transit & 13th St. to have a bottom elevation of -7.53 and a thickness of 5'-0" yielding a top elevation of -2.53. Contract Dwg. B42A shows the NE Wingwall Footing immediately adjacent with a bottom elevation of 3.0. This means there will be a vertical gap of 5.53' between the two footings. On the other bridge in this contract, a cut-off wall is included to bridge this gap. No such treatment is included here. Will a cut-off wall be required? Response: As the abutment and wingwall footings are on piles, a cut-off wall will not be

required. Union Paving and Construction Co., Inc. September 10, 2008 Question No. 1 In reference to Item 16, Geophysical Survey, would an alternate method of conducting the magnetometer survey; such as using a cesium vapor unit, be acceptable?

Response: A Geometrics G858G cesium vapor magnetometer (MagMapper) with a

magnetic sensor, or equivalent, may be used to measure the magnetic field intensity along profiles spaced approximately 5 feet apart and covering all accessible portions of the survey areas. As a final product, the contractor will submit a copy of final report describing the methodology and results of the geophysical survey, and submit it along with all appropriate anomaly maps.




BERGEN COUNTY


Question No. 2 Also, the specification for the Geophysical Survey mentions detecting larger ferrous metallic interferences up to 60 feet deep. This is beyond the range of any instrument available for use on this project. Detecting anything deeper than about 20 feet is not accurate. Please clarify what method is to be used to meet the specification. Response: See response to Question No. 1 above for the recommended method to be

followed for geophysical survey. Union Paving and Construction Co., Inc. September 10, 2008 Question No. 1 In reference to Sheet 37, Groundwater Handling Notes; the notes mention that the groundwater we will encounter may be contaminated by metal, semi-volatile organic compounds, volatile organic compounds, Polychlorinated Biphenyls and Dieldrin. Since there is no pay item for Contaminated Dewatering, what pay item is this work paid under? Response: Groundwater will be recycled on the site by use of infiltration trenches.

Contaminated Dewatering will not be a pay item. Union Paving and Construction Co., Inc. September 11, 2008 Question No. 1 Item 55, Disposal of Regulated Material – Please provide analytical data regarding soil contamination. Response: Document entitled “Final Site Investigation Report – Property Investigation”

for soil contamination information will be available upon award of contract. Question No. 2 Items 106, 107 and 108 – Please provide details for all fencing.




BERGEN COUNTY


Response: For Items 106 and 107, refer to construction detail drawing CD-605-1. For

item 108, refer to Section 605 of the Special Provisions of this project. A. Servidone, Inc. /B. Anthony Const. Corp., JV September 11, 2008 Question No. 1 Stage 1: Does the precast barrier tie-in to the existing median barrier at Sta. 47+50. Does the Quadguard attach to the precast or existing median barrier? Response: The precast barrier should extend past the existing barrier. This will provide

room to install the Quadguard to Stage 2 which is attached to the existing median barrier.

Question No. 2 Stage 2: What does the Quadguard at Sta. 47+50 attach to? This Quadguard is not shown in stage 3. Does it get removed? Response: The Quadguard attaches to the existing median barrier. It gets removed during

Stage 5 work. Question No. 3 Stage 3B: How many modules is the crash cushion at Sta. 213+25 Response: Fourteen (14) modules. Question No. 4 Stage 5: Are there Quadgurads at all four corners of the intersection at Sta 22+50 +/-? Is there a Quadguard at 39+80? Response: Yes, all four corners. No, not at 39+80.




BERGEN COUNTY


D'Annunzio September 11, 2008 Question No. 1 Reference is made to Supplemental Specification 105.07.02, specifically the durations given for PSE&G to perform their work. Are the number of days provided in this specification work days or calendar days? Response: Calendar days. D'Annunzio September 11, 2008 Question No. 1 Reference is made to Bid Items #239 & #276 TESTING, IF AND WHERE DIRECTED. Standard Specification 554.04 states the Contract quantity of TESTING, IF AND WHERE DIRECTED is lump sum and the bid price is $10,000 for each occurrence in the Contract. It appears that these should be fixed bid price amounts in the bid proposal. Please advise. Response: Bidders can use the price from the 2007 Specifications, or use their own price for

bidding purposes. D'Annunzio September 12, 2008 Question No. 1 Reference is made to Contract Drawing EP-1 (sheet 37), specifically the "Groundwater Handling Notes." Note 3 clearly indicates that the intent of the Contract is to discharge groundwater into discharge basins and/or infiltration trenches. The last sentence of this note reads "If inadequate room is available for a discharge basin or an infiltration trench, then the groundwater will be pumped into an onsite holding tank and then transported to a NJDEP approved disposal facility." How would the Contractor be paid if it becomes necessary to dispose of groundwater at a




BERGEN COUNTY


disposal facility? How would the Contractor be paid if it becomes necessary to treat the groundwater prior to discharge? Please advise. Response: Note 3 will be revised to remove the reference to disposal at an NJDEP

approved disposal facility. When the capacity of infiltration trenches is exceeded, excess groundwater will be pumped into sediment control tanks. When there is available capacity in the infiltration trenches after the groundwater has percolated into the soil, the groundwater in the sediment control tanks will be released into the infiltration trenches to percolate into the soil in accordance with Standard Specification 158.03.02.

Carbro September 12, 2008 Question No. 1 Regarding the Route 120 Paterson Plank Road project, please clarify if item numbers 99 through 101 (15", 18" & 30" RCP) and items numbers 102 through 104 (15", 18" & 30" HDP) are meant to be alternate bid items. The quantities are the same for both groups of items and the item numbers are labeled with "AA1 thru CC1" and "AA2 thru CC2", however there is no mention of Alternate Bid Items in the proposal. Thank you for your assistance. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. Response by NJDOT, September 12, 2008:

Yes, that is how alternate items are shown in the EBS file (proposal). AA1 AA2 BB1 BB2 CC1 CC2 and so on. You should only pick one group and leave the others blank.

IEW Construction Group September 11, 2008 Question No. 1 Can it be conclude that asphalt milling from this jobsite (existing pavement from the roadway excavation) can be used as embankment, since under the Cross Section “Earthwork Summary” plan sheet 145, does not take in consideration the quantity for the existing asphalt removal as a deduction for embankment.




BERGEN COUNTY


Response: Asphalt milling may be used as embankment in accordance with Section

202.03.07 of the Standard Specifications. Question No. 2 In certain cross section plan sheets (ie. #139) it has a note that indicated “Payment for excavation and backfill within the limit of common structure volume for the retaining wall will be paid under the item retaining walls”, however, after further investigation it appears that the area in question is also accounted for in the SF of the “C” & “F” represented in the earthwork summary. Please clarify. Response: According to Section 513 – Retaining Walls of the Specifications, the work for

excavation and backfill is not included in the cast-in-place retaining wall. Therefore, the quantities should be accounted for in the earthwork quantities, which was done. The referenced note should be deleted from all cross sections.

Question No. 3 Please clarify the pay limits for epoxy waterproofing as shown on plan sheet 176 (B-23 - 1,150 SY) and on plan sheet 210 (B-55 – 2,530 SY) Response: There is to be no epoxy waterproofing as shown on plan sheets 176 and 210.

The quantity was removed from the plan sheets and reduced on the EDOQ sheets.

Question No. 4 On plan sheet 176 (B-23) it clearly states “Sawcut Grooved Deck surface (curb to curb)”, however, no note is to be found on plan sheet 210 (B-55). Are both concrete decks to receive sawcut grooved surface? Response: Both concrete decks are to receive sawcut grooved deck surface.

A. Servidone, Inc. /B. Anthony Construction Corp., J.V. September 12, 2008 Question No. 1 Line 0152 Item 654010M Utility Pole Sheath, 54 Units Special Provisions Section 654 – Utility Poles subsection 654.02 Materials lists Soil Aggregate to be provided, designation I-1, I-2, I-3, I-4, I-6, I-7, I-8, I-9, I-10, I-11, I-12, I-13. It has been our experience constructing Utility Pole Sheaths for PSE&G in areas involving Regulated Materials that backfilling the utility pole sheaths with a “sand” type aggregate was not acceptable to PSE&G, since they were then unable to auger through this type of material to set the utility pole without it collapsing into the hole. Instead, PSE&G required a “clean” earth fill material, such as Soil Aggregate I-14 to be used as backfill. Please clarify this with PSE&G. Response: The special provisions were changed to require the use of Soil Aggregate I-14

as backfill for utility pole sheaths. Question No. 2 Line 0109 Item 605212P RESET FENCE, 182 LF, appears to refer to the existing ornamental fence located at approximately Station 35+00 Right. This existing fence involves an existing sliding gate. In addition the Plans show an angle point in the relocated fence, which will require extensive modification of the existing fence and a new corner post. Please advise. Response: The item Reset Fence includes resetting the sliding gate. Provide new posts as

necessary if the existing posts are not usable for the new fence configuration. Tarheel Enterprises, Inc. September 12, 2008 Question No. 1 Contract Dwg #210 in Addendum 2 indicates the addition of 1 Junction Box Frame & Cover to the Bridge over NJ Transit. Presumably, other electrical items were either added or changed. However, no item for the F&C is included in the .EBS file. Please revise accordingly. Response: The .EBS file will be updated in this Addendum.




BERGEN COUNTY


IEW Construction Group September 15, 2008 Question No. 1 A. PLEASE DEFINE THE FOLLOWING:

1. NOMINAL DRIVING RESISTANCE

Response: Factored Nominal Axial Resistance is somewhat equivalent to the Design Allowable Axial Compression

2. REQUIRED NOMINAL AXIAL RESISTANCE Response: Required Nominal Axial Resistance is somewhat equivalent to the Ultimate

Axial Compression

3. FACTORED AXIAL RESISTANCE Response: Nominal Driving Resistance is the driving resistance anticipated to reach the

minimum tip elevation

B. FOR PROPOSED FOUNDATION PILES FOR ROUTE 120 OVER ROUTE 17 STRUCTURE, FOR ROUTE 120 OVER NJ TRANSIT &13TH STREET, AND FOR RETAINING WALL NO. 2, PLEASE PROVIDE US WITH THE DESIGN ALLOWABLE AXIAL COMPRESSION CAPACITES AND THE MINIMUM SAFETY FACTORS REQUIRED FOR PDA/CAPWAP CAPACITIES. Response: As per AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications Section 10.5.5.2.3. a

resistance factor of 0.65 is to be utilized. There are no safety factors in LRFD design.

Note:




BERGEN COUNTY


Required Resistance for PDA Generally this value should be equal to the value of Nominal Axial Compression Resistance. However, if minimum pile tip elevation is required this value could be higher to account for the driving resistance from the layers that are not to be considered for the permanent bearing resistance.

Required Resistance for WEAP Generally this value should be equal to the resistance required for the PDA. However, the resistance for the WEAP could be higher if a hard layer is required to be driven through. If this is the case, the Required Driving Resistance for PDA shall be used for the bearing value determination during pile driving.

This all means that for this project, since the piles have a specified minimum pile tip requirement, the contractor should be using the Nominal Driving Resistance as the Required Resistance for WEAP and PDA. Union Paving and Construction Co., Inc. September 15, 2008 Question No. 1 On Sheet #92, Item# 54; 3” Rigid Metallic Conduit; Addendum #2 increased the quantity of the 3” Rigid Metallic Conduit by 34 LF. This quantity increase is not reflected on the bid proposal form. Response: The additional quantity will be added to the bid proposal form. Atlantic Subsurface Imaging, LLC September 15, 2008 Question No. 1 Section 157.03.04, Geophysical Survey, of the Special Provisions specifies that, “Before excavating for the east abutment of the NJ Transit Bridge or Retaining Wall No. 2, perform a




BERGEN COUNTY


two step geophysical survey consisting of a magnetometry survey followed by a ground penetrating radar (GPR) survey to determine the presence or absence of buried metal objects such as cylinders and drums.” In order that we may properly estimate the costs to complete this task, please specify the sizes of the two survey areas. Thank you. Response: The areas to be surveyed are the horizontal limits of excavation for the

abutment and retaining wall footings. A. Servidone Inc/B. Anthony Const. Corp., JV September 17, 2008 Question No. 1 Line 0016 Item 157030 GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY We have been advised by several firms that we contacted regarding the Geophysical Survey and been advised that it is not possible to perform the magnetometer survey according to the Special Provisions. An Electromagnetic Survey, which is similar, can be performed, however it will only show objects to a depth of 20 feet, not 60 feet as required in the Special Provisions. In addition the limits of the Geophysical Survey should be identified, so that everyone is bidding on the same scope and quantity (area) of work.

Response: A Geometrics G858G cesium vapor magnetometer (MagMapper) with a magnetic sensor, or equivalent, may be used to measure the magnetic field intensity along profiles spaced approximately 5 feet apart and covering all accessible portions of the survey areas. As a final product, the contractor will submit a copy of final report describing the methodology and results of the geophysical survey, and submit it along with all appropriate anomaly maps.

The areas to be surveyed are the horizontal limits of excavation for the

abutment and retaining wall footings.




BERGEN COUNTY


Question No. 2 Since all of the excavation on this project is classified as Regulated Material, it will need to be stockpiled for testing and determination prior to being used as embankment. There is limited room available within the limits of the project in which to do this; the only place being the “infield” of Ramp T. Please advise.

Response: The contractor must make use of available space for storage within the project

limits and in accordance with the Environmental Notes and Commitments. IEW Construction Group September 17, 2008 Question No. 1 Kindly refer the contract plan sheet 175 and 209. Please identify the field welding requirements needed to attach the new bearings to either the new steel beams or the existing steel beams.

Response: See Section 907 of the 2007 Standard Specifications for welding requirements.

Drawings B-22 and B-54 were revised to show a 5/16” field weld between the beam bottom flange and sole plate.

Question No. 2 Kindly refer to the dead load reaction table shown on plan sheet 171. What are the live loads to be anticipated for existing stringers S4, S8, S13 and S17? These stringers in Stage 5 will share live loads from the adjacent traffic.

Response: S4 90 kips S8 90 kips S13 90 kips S17 90 kips Question No. 3




BERGEN COUNTY


Kindly refer to the dead load reaction table shown on plan sheet 207. What are the live loads to be anticipated for existing stringers S5, S9, S15, S19, S24, and S28. These stringers in Stage 5 will share live loads from the adjacent traffic. Response: S5 80 kips S9 70 kips S15 90 kips S19 90 kips S24 95 kips S28 95 kips A. Servidone Inc/B. Anthony Const. Corp., JV September 17, 2008 Question No. 1 Plan Sheets 138, 139, 143, & 144 contain the following note “Payment for excavation and backfill within the limit of common structure volume for retaining walls will be paid under the item retaining walls”. Is this correct, because these walls are actually paid under Line 0220 & 0256, Concrete Wingwalls for their respective structures, which would have previously paid as Foundation Excavation, but is now paid under Excavation? This note does not appear on any other cross-section plan sheets that contain retaining walls. It appears that the quantities of excavation associated with the retaining walls on Plan Sheets 138, 139, 143, & 144 are included in the quantity of excavation shown on the Earthwork Summary?

Response: According to Section 513 – Retaining Walls of the Specifications, the work for

excavation and backfill is not included in the cast-in-place retaining wall. Therefore, the quantities should be accounted for in the earthwork quantities, which was done. The referenced note should be deleted from all cross sections.

Question No. 2 Line 0054 Item 202015P EXCAVATION, REGULATED MATERIAL is listed as a Paid Quantity (as opposed to a Measured Quantity) Item.




BERGEN COUNTY


According to NJDOT STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS FOR ROAD AND BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION 2007, Subsection 202.04 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT, It is stated: The Department will measure and make payment for Items as follows: Listed therein is EXCAVATION, REGULATED MATERIAL, with a Pay Unit of CUBIC YARDS.

Seismic Energy Products, LP September 18, 2008 Question No. 1 As presented in the contract documents, the seismic isolation bearings are sole sourced from the named supplier because insufficient information exists for any other supplier to design bearings. To permit more than one manufacturer to bid the isolation bearings, please provide the following information: 1. Bilinear properties of each isolator type [displacement (di), effective stiffness at displacement di, energy dissipated per cycled at di] 2. (a) Maximum axial loads for each isolator type [dead load, live load, seismic live load, overturning load if any] (b) Axial loads at each bearing location [dead load, live load, seismic live load, overturning load if any] 3. Service level displacement for the bearings [generally due to temperature, creep, shrinkage, etc.] 4. Design service lateral loads on the bearings at each substructure [due to wind, wind on live, longitudinal/braking forces, etc.] 5. Acceleration and soil type at the project location 6. Maximum permissible seismic force at each substructure 7. Maximum permissible seismic displacement Thank you for your assistance.




BERGEN COUNTY


Response: Based on past projects with seismic isolation bearings, Earth Tech considers the information provided to be sufficient for bidding purposes.

BERGEN COUNTY ADDENDUM NO. 6 Page 1 of 3

Z:\QA Teams\QA BIDX ADMIN\WEB ADMINISTRATION ONLY\Projects\Advertised Projects\Rt 120 Paterson Plank Road 08146\Addenda\ADD6\ADDENDUM NO6_1.doc

THE Following CHANGES are made to the plans: • The following Attachments REPLACE Original Plan Sheets:


Attachment No. 1 REPLACES Sheet No. 199 ( B-44 ) The following are questions received from plan holders and the responses to those questions. D'Annunzio September 11, 2008 Question No. 2 Reference is made to Supplemental Specification 105.07.02, specifically the durations given for PSE&G to perform their work. Assuming that the number of days provided are calendar days, if you add up all the days for PSE&G to perform their work, it equals 1335 days. This would be approximately 44 months of work just for PSE&G to complete their work. Assuming a project start of December 1, 2008, the required Substantial Completion date of September 10, 2010, only allows 21 months to construct this project. Please advise how this is possible. Response: The 1,335 days for PSE&G to perform their work is the sum of the noted

work durations considered sequentially. The contract completion date has taken into account that various items of utility work that are listed would be completed concurrently in the construction stages noted.

Question No. 3






Reference is made to the 2007 Standard Specification 108.11.01.B.2.b. This section states that the Department will extend the Contract Time, but will not make payment for the delay costs incurred by the Contractor, until the duration of the Utilities work exceeds 30% more than the duration provided in specification 105.07.02. By this logic the Contractor is responsible for covering his own delay costs plus liquidated damages for up to 57 months on a 21 month contract. This is so outrageous that it must be an oversight. Please advise. Response: The extension of time will be granted according to the 2007 Standard

Specification 108.11.01.B.2.b. A. Servidone Inc/B. Anthony Const. Corp., JV September 15, 2008 Question No. 1 With regards to the project schedule, the substantial completion date of September 10, 2010 does not seem realistic given the durations for the Utility Work to be performed. For instance Verizon aerial work has approx 89 days listed, (also Verizon Conduit work has approx 371 days to complete) spec do not distinguish between work and calendar days, and PSE&G has 1335 days listed and 216 days for AboveNet, and these time frames do not include the required notice. Also given that some of the required ROW is not available until Feb of 2009, it seems very unlikely the job can be completed timely. Can NJDOT ask for some more definitive time frames from the utility companies or perhaps the utilities could do what Comcast has done and stated what work could be done in conjunction with other work on the site? Otherwise the project duration will have to be extended. Please advise. Response: The contract completion date has taken into account that various items

of utility work that are listed would be completed concurrently in the construction stages noted.

D'Annunzio September 19, 2008






Question No. 1 Reference is made to sheet 199 (drawing B-44), note 13. This note says "Permanent Sheeting to be Type T-1 High Strength..." Our steel sheeting suppliers do not know what is meant by "Type T-1". Please clarify. Response: Note 13 on sheet 199 will be changed to read PZ35 Steel Sheet Pile,

Grade 60, for the permanent sheeting. Question No. 2 Reference is made to the bid item Excavation, Regulated Material. It does not appear that the cross sections include any quantities for the following bridge substructure locations: Pier for Route 17 Bridge, Southwest Wingwall NJ Transit Bridge, Piers 1 & 2 NJ Transit Bridge. Please advise how the Contractor would be paid for this excavation and backfill. Response: In the 2007 Standard Specifications, excavation and backfill are

included in the price bid for “Concrete Footing.” Archer Steel Construction September 19, 2008 Drawing B-22 & B- 54: No weld is shown for the bearing sole plate to the girder. Please provide size and extent of weld. Response: See Section 907 of the 2007 Standard Specifications for welding

requirements. Drawings B-22 and B-54 were revised in Addendum No. 5 to show a 5/16” field weld between the beam bottom flange and sole plate.
