I do not see pay items associated with the service pads for each electric service required, I.e. service electrodes, service pads, pedestal pole for SE5. Also where does does the SE5 service hook to or is it to be powered later when the fiber is installed?

We are not requiring service pads at the electrical services. The grounding electrodes, pole, and foundation for the SE-5 are in the VDOT standard. Per the SE-5 standard, local power utility company will install service cable from their power source to the junction box and make required splices to the cable provided.

I have reviewed the proposal and plans and cannot find any pay items or instructions for what kind of lighting is required for the two structures shown on plan sheet 8(2D)1. Please provide the instructions and pay items accordingly. Also Please allow enough time to receive quotes for the materials needed in order to bid.

Please see the addendum posted last week. Regarding the pay items for the sign structure lighting, this will be included in the cost of the OH signs, as consistent with Section 705.04 (p. 880) of the 2016 VDOT Road & Bridge Specifications, which states “luminaires for sign lighting will not be measured for separate payment but shall be included in the price for overhead and sign structures.”

The addendum does not specify which system is being used. Are we using standard fixed in place lighting or retrieval system?

Please see page 119 of the addendum that states the “LUMINAIRE RETRIEVAL SYSTEM shall be installed on the overhead sign hanger assemblies in accordance with VDOT Road and Bridge Standard OSS-1. The cost of the luminaire retrieval system shall be included in the contract price of the overhead sign structure.”

Route 11 is the preferable route of access. However, Contractor access to I-77 will not be restricted from I-81 provided the appropriate traffic control is in place and approved by the Engineer. The Contractor shall restore any areas to original condition that may be damaged by allowing this access.

There are no standard drawings for PF-8 foundations. They are designed based on soil conditions and the specific pole used at each location.

The answers do not make sense. CCTV camera pole foundation line item needs to be the same description and paid for by cubic yard. PF-8 foundation is for a signal pole. The only reference or specification to an RF-1 foundation is sheet 9(2A)1, is there somewhere else that we can find the specifications? Will line items be revised to reflect the change?

The reference of RF-1 is incorrect and is to be replaced with PF-8 Foundation. The standards for a PF-8 foundation can be found on pages 1310.12 and 1310.13 of the 2016 VDOT Road and Bridge Standards.
After further review, the Department has decide the pay item will be revised to CY. An addendum will be issued.

Sheet 9(2A)1 of the plan set identifies a RF-1 foundation that should be a PF-8 foundation. In addition to this change, please be guided by section 700 and 803 of the Road and Bridge specifications.

The overall payment of plan quantity regular excavation will not be reduced for retaining wall excavation. Due to the method of construction that will be used, no retaining wall excavation quantity was computed.
