We noticed the bid quantity for Bedding Material Aggregate No. 57, and No. 25 or 26, matches the tonnage shown in the Drainage Summaries for backfilling pipe undercuts. Is the intent of the Department to only pay for the bedding stone #57 and #25 or 26 which is used to backfill pipe undercuts, and not all bedding material required?
The way 10-24-23 (SPCN) reads on page 4 of the Contract, it could be interpreted that ALL bedding material will be paid for by the ton.

The intent is that the quantity for Bedding Material Aggregate No. 57, and No. 25 or 26 shown in the Drainage Summaries are for backfilling pipe undercuts. This material would be in addition to the bedding and backfill material (PB-1) that is included in the cost of the pipe per Spec. 302.04.

At the points that the new 16" water main cross the existing 8" branches, the elevations are listed as unknown. In the event that the new 16" water main planned elevation puts it in direct conflict with an existing 8" branch, are we to offset the new 16" main to avoid the existing branch or offset the existing branch to install the 16" main at planned elevation. Or, are these branches backfed from another watermain and can be cut, capped, and removed without affecting service?
How would this additional work be paid?

The proposed 16” main if in conflict with the existing 8” branches, 16” water main elevation should be adjusted to avoid conflict. No additional compensation for adjusting elevation.
