Can you please elaborate what is included in the scope of work? Will any splicing be required? If so, what is the fiber count so we can determine the number of fusion splices are required. Is any conduit and trenching required?

Re. Item #1300: The fiber was relocated prior to project advertisement. However, the old fiber was not removed. The intent of the pay item is to cover the cost of removing the old fiber in locations where it is in conflict. Re. Item #1310: The power was relocated prior to project advertisement. The intent of the pay item is to cover the cost associated with the removal of power poles that may have remained and be conflict.

Recent field observations identified a concrete pipe and manhole in the vicinity of the proposed wall. The concrete pipe is part of a slope drain that was installed after a recent storm event. The slope drain will be removed in conjunction with project. The manhole is still under investigation, but it’s not anticipated to be a conflict with the proposed wall. If during the prosecution of the work there is a conflict, resolution will be handled via a change order in accordance with Road and Bridge Specifications sections 104 and 109.

Section D is cut thru the bridge widening portion included in the existing plan # 196-19A. Existing Plan # 196-19A sheet 12 of 20 has expansion joint hardware attached to approach slab which will require portion of approach slab concrete to be removed and re-construct. The limit of removal and reconstruction of approach slab concrete will be the length shown along with the Plan Number 196-19A on the current bridge plan sheet 24 of 32. The remaining existing approach slab end along the joint which is not part of Plan Number 196-19A needs a hydro-demolition and overlay as shown in Section C on Sheet 23 of 32.

No report is available and preliminary investigations did not find hazardous materials; but this does not guarantee hazardous materials are not present. Section 413 or 426 of the R&B Specifications apply and procedures and pay items are contained therein. If quantities of coating to be removed exceed 100 sq ft, then Section 411 R&B Specifications apply.
