Do you know what this is for and will it be an issue as far as drainage is concerned? Thanks.. | Answered in Addendum 2 | | There is concrete on the west side which is ground level behind the temp. fence. Concerned that this is part of an existing foundation that might be attached to the west building. Is this part of the "Removal of existing materials". thanks.. | Answered in Addendum 2 | | All drawing sheets are stamped “PRELIMINARY – NOT FOR CONSTRUCTION.” Will an issued-for-construction (final, stamped) drawing set be provided prior to bid, or are these preliminary sheets what bidders should bid from? | Answered in Addendum 2 | | The “TOTAL – BID SCH B1” price cell is shown filled solid black rather than left open for bidder entry. | Answered in Addendum 2 | | Bid Schedule A9 & B14 – “Stabilization – 3” Crushed Rock” (0.0 TN); Both bid items list an estimated quantity of 0.0 TN. Please clarify the purpose of including a zero-quantity pay item and how a unit price would be used. Please confirm that no unit cost or line-item cost is to be entered for 0.0 quantity items. | Answered in Addendum 2 | | Bid Schedule B9 (790 SY) vs. Site Plan (787 SY) vs. Grading Plan Project Quantities table (802 SY) Three different quantities are given for the Hot Mix Asphalt paving area at the 315 Main St lot. Please confirm the correct/governing quantity, or shall ALL bid quantities be based solely on the Bid Form Quantity? | Answered in Addendum 2 | | Bid Schedule B7 “6-Inch Concrete Paving” (20 SY) vs. Grading Plan Project Quantities table “6” Concrete Paving” (18 SY) Please reconcile the 2 SY discrepancy. Or shall ALL bid quantities be based solely on the Bid Schedule quantities? | Answered in Addendum 2 | | Bid Schedule B8 “Concrete Curb & Gutter” (16 LF) vs. Grading Plan Project Quantities table “Curb and Gutter” (15 LF). Please confirm that Bid Schedule Quantities shall be used for bidding purposes? | Answered in Addendum 2 | | Removals & Resets sheet – “Removal of Earthwork (840 SY)” however, this quantity is vague and not provided as a bid item in the Bid Schedule. Please confirm that the scope of "Earthwork Removal" is fully captured in the Bid Items B2(foundation removal 53 CY) and B4 (Earthwork Cut 100 CY). | Answered in Addendum 2 | | Grading Plan Project Quantities table – “Earthwork -70 CU.YD” vs. Bid Schedule B4 “Earthwork (Cut)” (100 CY) The Grading Plan's own quantities table lists -70 CY of earthwork, while the Bid Schedule lists 100 CY for the same scope. Please reconcile and confirm that the basis of bidding shall be the quantities listed in the Bid Schedule. | Answered in Addendum 2 | | Site Plan – “Proposed Concrete Pan (53 SY)”, “Proposed Concrete Alley Panels (49 SY)”, “Proposed Asphalt Ribbon (15 SY)” These drawing callouts do not have an obvious one-to-one match to a Bid Schedule B line item. Please map each drawing quantity to its corresponding Bid Schedule item and total quantities for Concrete and Asphalt on plan do not coincide with quantities provided in the Bid Schedule. Confirm that Bid Schedule quantities shall be used for Bid Preparation and Submittal. | Answered in Addendum 2 | | Bid Item B10 “FABCO 12x35 Flume Filter (SP-F-1038612) w/ Boom-X Media” vs. Fabco cut sheet (Dwg. No. 10386-12-000) The model/spec number cited in the Bid Schedule does not match the drawing number on the manufacturer's cut sheet. Please confirm the correct Fabco part number and when reviewing vendor website, details of construction are not found. Please confirm product model and provide installation details for this product. | Answered in Addendum 2 | | Is a geotechnical/soils report available for the alley and/or the 315 Main St lot, particularly given the lot's prior use as a laundry facility? | Answered in Addendum 2 | | The Contract Time is 60 consecutive calendar days for Substantial Completion. Since Schedule A (alley) and Schedule B (315 Main St lot) are two distinct, non-adjacent work sites, please confirm whether the 60-day duration applies to the combined scope of both sites, and whether they may/must be sequenced or run concurrently. | Answered in Addendum 2 | | Special Provisions §28(1), p. Q-9 – Mobilization/Site General/Traffic Control This item is estimated at approximately 10% of the total bid, and “any significant over or under this percentage will require an evaluation by the City.” Please define what constitutes a “significant” deviation. | Answered in Addendum 2 | | The note “Bid Schedule B – 315 Main Street unit prices shall include demolition and haul off of existing pavement” is repeated for items (3), (4), and (6), but absent from items (5) 6-Inch Concrete Tie-In and (7) 4-Inch Concrete Sidewalk. Please confirm whether this exclusion is intentional, or in error. | Answered in Addendum 2 | | The Pre-Bid Summary states Fremont Sanitation District work in the 1000 Block alley is “anticipated to be completed before 9/1” (the estimated construction start date). Please confirm this sanitation work will not delay Contractor's Notice to Proceed/schedule and advise of contingency plan if it is not complete by anticipated start of construction. | Answered in Addendum 2 | | Existing concrete barrier blocks at 315 Main St must be relocated to facilitate construction and reset at project end to discourage vehicular traffic to/from Main Street. Please confirm whether this work is incidental to Mobilization/Site General (Bid Item B1) or should be reflected in a specific Bid Schedule line item. | Answered in Addendum 2 | | Special Provisions §29.B states unsuitable-subgrade replacement material “will be paid for by negotiated unit price established by Change Order". The Addendum 1 Pre-Bid Meeting Summary states the Stabilization line items already in the Bid Tab (A9/B9/B14) will be used instead. Please confirm which payment mechanism governs and consider issuing a conforming revision to §29.B. A9 and B14 are 0.0 Unit Line Items. Please confirm if unit prices shall be provided but not calculated into bid total or provide common unit for these items that should be included in the Bid Total. | Answered in Addendum 2 | | Please confirm that provided Alley Construction Details apply to work on both the Alley Reconstruction Project as well as the Parking Lot Project as well. | Answered in Addendum 2 | | The ADA parking stalls and adjacent access isles are not called out as concrete paving within the asphalt parking lot. Should they be Concrete, or remain as asphalt paving? | Answered in Addendum 2 | | 2. Regarding the fabco flume, I could not find and more detailed information on that specific item on fabco's web site. Is it possible to get some clarifiying details on what the transition sould look like from concrete cross pan to the filter location. It appears that the cross pan transitions from 2" flow line depth to 6" flow line depth but does it then does it also go from V-Pan cross section to trickle channel cross section? Also, what happens at the out flow side of the filter? Does there need to be a chase in the existing sidewalk to get flow to the gutter? | Answered in Addendum 2 | | For the proposed Concrete Alley Panels associated with the Parking Lot Project, the bid item for the Alley paving (11' w) is called out as PCC Paving, is it reinforced as called out for the Alley portion of the project? If so, please provide details for reinforcement? | Answered in Addendum 2 | | 1. PCC Paving is called out on plans and Q10 as being reinforced but not detailed. If PCC is to be reinforced, please provide reinforcing design/details. 2. Are the ribbons doweled into new paving? Reinforced? If so please confirm reinforcing details. | Answered in Addendum 2 | **Addendums**: | Addendum | Date | Note | |---|---|---| | Addendum No. 2 | 07/30/2026 06:10 PM EDT | | | Addendum No. 1 | 07/16/2026 06:12 PM EDT | |
