The back of the modular retaining wall system extends beyond the benched excavation limits shown in the plans and cross sections, and results in additional excavation. Does this additional area need to be backfilled with Select Material and/or EPS Fill?

For the additional excavation that is required for the bottom wall modules beyond the benched excavation shown on the Plans, the Contractor shall reuse the existing material. For wall backfill, please see Geotechnical Details on sheets 2A(3) thru 2A(6).

Please confirm that the distance "B" shown on sheets 126 and 127 of the bridge applies to the entire height of the wall. In other words, please confirm the select material Type 1 or Type 2 incidental to the retaining system is a vertical line based on distance "B", or is what is incidental step in as the stems from the wall panels step in?

Non-EPS geofoam backfill material used within minimum wall base width (or B min.) and entire wall height is considered incidental to the precast modular retaining wall structure. Refer to Section 5.0 of Precast Modular Retaining Structure Special Provisions and notes in Sheet 126.

Under the Measurement and Payment section of the Special Provision for Vibration Monitoring it states that 50% of the lump sum price will be made upon receipt of all Release of Liability letters by the Engineer. Release of Liability letters are not addressed anywhere else within the Special Provision. Please provide further information on what exactly is required for these letters, and who is to provide them.

On sheet 4 of 127 there are two stars next to the Dynamic Pile Test item. Please see the double star note on this sheet for an explanation of the additional test locations. The quantity for item 1950 is correct.

Does this mean that there are 5 additional PDA tests on the piles or is there another test pile program with additional pile lengths? If an additional test pile program is required, it appears that the quantity for Bid Item 1970 is wrong.

Plans indicate locations of test piles which also receive dynamic pile testing. These test piles are paid for as driving test for pile (LF) and Dynamic Pile Test (EA). The plan quantity for Dynamic Pile Test (EA) accounts for an additional 4 tests on piles that are not “test piles” as required by the Engineer. There are no additional test piles.
