Subject: Waterproofing Type: Plan
Question Date: 7/16/2020 5:57:03 PM

The responses to the waterproofing questions contradict what is shown on plan sheet #8 titled "End Bearing and waterproofing details for asphalt overlay". The drawing and notes on plan sheet #8 do not show type 3 waterproofing being applied to the entire surface of the deck prior to asphalt overlay. Would the department consider issuing an addendum revising the plan sheet #8 and the notes?

Subject: Railway Special Provision Type: Proposal
Question Date: 7/15/2020 10:20:38 AM
Please strike Section III(8)(B)(d) from Special Provision for Norfolk Southern Railway Work Requirements. While the contractor can adhere to the coordination requirements of the Special Provision, they cannot control if the Railway removes a flagger from the site for their own interests. Please also strike "any work done by the Railway Company or other delay incident to or necessary for safe maintenance of railway traffic" from Section III(11)(b). The contractor cannot control the Railways track work/maintenance schedule. Cost and time impacts would be realized for either of these delays.  
Answer   Date: 7/16/2020 2:02:04 PM
The special provision has been reviewed and found to be satisfactory as is. Please bid accordingly.  
 
Question Date: 7/15/2020 10:09:39 AM
Special Provision Copied Note for Section 107.19-Railway-Highway Provision provides an estimated total cost from the Railway Company and makes the contractor responsible for all costs exceeding the Force Account Estimate. Previously, the contractor has only been responsible for flagging costs exceeding the estimated flagging hours in the Force Account Estimate. The Force Account Estimate is an agreement between VDOT and the Railway Company. The contractor had no input to that agreement and cannot verify if it is complete and accurate. The contractor has no control over the Railway's actual costs that they charge to the project. Furthermore, the agreement is only valid through 12/17/19, after which the Railway can revise their estimated costs. Please revise the Special Provision to make the contractor responsible for the flagging costs exceeding the estimated flagging hours only. The flagging hours are the only item within the Force Account Estimate that the contractor can control.  
Answer   Date: 7/16/2020 2:02:30 PM
The special provision has been reviewed and found to be satisfactory as is. Please bid accordingly.
