Bid Item 2630 Luminaire 150 Watt H.P.S. has a quantity of 14ea. However, in reviewing the plans these are the same luminaires that are shown on the for the under-bridge lighting system, which are lump sum pay items.
Will the luminaires be paid separately from the under-bridge lighting system?

Please refer to Addendum 2. The measurement for Pay Items 3370, 3380, and 3390 (the lump sum Under-Bridge Lighting Systems for B-627, B-628 and B-629) are best described in the Payment note on the top right of Sheet 43 of 60 for B-628 and which applies to all three bridges. That note states that the lump sum items include under-bridge lighting components within the limits of each bridge and that this lump sum does not include the costs for luminaires or conductors which are paid separately.

The Contractor is responsible for the final design of the cladding. Panel dimensions provided in the Bid Documents are based on record drawings for the structure. The thickness of the panels may be altered provided that specified requirements are met including review and approval of appearance by VDOT (for example, depth of pattern and compatibility with existing adjacent panels) and structural adequacy is provided and demonstrated.

The 2016 Road and Bridge Standards state that paved ditches (specifically in this case PG-2A) are to be paid by the square yard with a specific PG-2A pay item. There is a significant amount of PG2A on this project with no pay item, however it appears to be accounted for in the Concrete Class A3 Pay item, please confirm that the PG2A will be paid under the Misc Concrete Class A3 Pay item and that the quantities shown in the Drainage Summary sheets ( 2T series) are in fact expressed in "Cubic Yards" as shown versus in square yards which is the typical method of measurement.
