The HDPE pipe is in two different sections and they contradict each other. A1: Contractor shall utilize 20-inch IPS (Iron Pipe Size) DR 9 HDPE for the Horizontal Directional Drill. Specification section 40 05 33.11 – High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Pressure Pipe will be revised per Addendum No. 2 to replace reference to DIPS with IPS for HDPE pressure pipe. Submitted: 3/10/2026 04:08:59 PM (CT) Q2: Can 16" DR 18 FPVC® pipe (ID = 15.35") be approved as an equal to the 20" DR9 HDPE (ID = 15.28") installed by directional drill? a) FPVC® pipe meets the same hydraulic capacity requirements whilst downsizing the OD, thus saving significant project cost. b) The PVC to HDPE transition couplings can be eliminated. c) FPVC® pipe can be drilled per the vertical bend radius shown, and can be laid out within the alignment shown on C-00-120. A2: FPVC is not allowed for the horizontal directional drill (HDD) installation and HDPE pipe shall be utiliized as shown on the drawings and as specified. Submitted: 2/25/2026 03:38:08 PM (CT) Q3: Specification Section 40 05 31.12-5 on page 418 of the specification calls for "EBAA Iron 2800 Megalug Restraint Harness (14 inch through 54 inch) or approved equal," at every restrained joint. This is extremely costly and not time efficient. With the 4,000 LF of restrained joint the quantities call for, this would take 200 Harnesses to make it all restrained. The city has typically used Certa-Lok & has it in the Lincoln City Standards. Would it be an approved material in lieu of the harnesses for the restrained joint PVC? A3: AWWA C900 Certa-Lok RJIB PVC Pipe is an allowable pipe product in lieu of restrained harnesses for restrained joint PVC. Addendum No. 1 will modify the specifications to specify Certa-Lok as an allowable PVC pipe restraint. Submitted: 2/24/2026 03:05:20 PM (CT)
