Subject:
Wingwall Demolition Limits
Type:
Plan
Question
Date:
6/26/2025 9:19:29 AM
The demo limits shown on sheets 4/8 for the wingwalls contradict one another. Specifically, the plan and elevation views of the wingwalls show complete demo as marked with the cross hatch pattern while the section views indicate the wingwalls are to have existing rebar remain as marked with the diagonal hatch. Please clarify.
Answer
Date:
7/3/2025 7:37:48 AM
The wingwalls should be removed down to the elevations shown on sheets 6 and 10. The rebar should be cut on the wingwalls to the same height. New RW0401 bars will need to be drilled and grouted into the existing wingwall to anchor the parapet rail-ing. There is insufficient length on the existing reinforcing steel to provide any significant strength, therefore it should be cut off. One of these layers does not match the depth of the projecting steel and therefore can't be extended up. The reinforcing steel in the backwall will provide strength when combined with the new neat concrete in the backwall. The reinforcing steel in the backwall should re-main. The cross hatched overlap in the plan view at the ends is intended to show the existing Safety Walk is to be removed. The depth may be determined from information in the original bridge plans, 197-19, dated 1957.

Subject:
Pier Cap Demolition Limits
Type:
Plan
Question
Date:
6/26/2025 9:16:17 AM
The plans require pier cap demolition to extend 1" below top mat of existing reinforcement. However there isn't a concrete cover depth specified for the pier caps in the as-builts drawings. In order to provide the most accurate price for demolition, please provide the existing cover depth of concrete or consider providing a set depth of demolition.

Section E-E on sheet 5 of 9 shows ( 3" clr typ ) for the stirrup, which appears to be applicable to all four faces of the cap. The main bars are #9 and the stirrup bars are #4 according to the table on the same sheet. The dimensions are still subject to fabrication and construction tolerances. 3" + 1/2" + 1.1" + 1" = 5.6" subject to tolerances measured from the top of the cap (not the seat).
Subject:
Item 0700 Temporary Signs
Type:
Plan
Question
Date:
6/25/2025 8:17:34 AM
The plan quantity for Temporary Signs (2,870 SF) appears to include the required detour signage shown per plan. Per the plan notes and special provisions, the Fort Lee Rd detour signage is to be provided & installed by VDOT/City of Petersburg and subsequently removed by VDOT/City of Petersburg upon project completion and closeout. Additionally, the contractor is responsible for maintaining & removing/replacing damaged or missing detour signage (that is to be provided by the Petersburg Residency). Can the department confirm that although the detour signs are to be installed by others, that the contractor will get paid for maintaining them? Or consider revising the quantity to reflect what the contractor is installing and removing.
Answer
Date:
6/27/2025 8:13:01 AM
The Special Provision titled "MAINTAIN VDOT IMPLEMENTED FORT LEE ROAD DETOUR" will be revised to "MONITORING VDOT IMPLEMENTED FORT LEE ROAD DETOUR" via a forthcoming addendum. This revision will eliminate the Contractor's obligation to "remove and replace missing or damaged detour signs" and instead, will now be required to monitor the detour route signage daily and report missing or damaged signs to the Engineer. The Engineer will coordinate with the Petersburg Residency for removal and replacement of missing or damaged signs.
Question
Date:
6/27/2025 9:59:50 AM
As a follow up, please confirm the quantity of 2870SF will be revised to only include the signage that the contractor will be responsible for providing, installing & removing. If it is just the contractor’s responsibility to monitor and report missing or damaged signs to the engineer for the detour, then it would be our suggestion to remove the detour signage quantity from the temporary sign quantity as this would skew unit pricing for this item. Please advise.

The detour signage will be removed from the Temporary Sign quantity and the revised total will be 640 S.F. An addendum is forthcoming.
