Addendum 4 Page 4 <br />CITY OF EVERETT ⋅ 3200 Cedar Street ⋅ Everett, WA 98201 ⋅ (425) 257-8800 ⋅ Fax (425) 257-8882 <br /> <br />Item 10 - VOLUME 7 ATTACHMENTS: <br />Add the following new attachment to Volume 7 Attachments: <br />ATTACHMENT O: BIDDER QUESTIONS AND RESPONSES FROM FIRST <br />BID PERIOD <br />Attachment O incorporates in the bid record responses to bidder questions <br />from the first bid period that remain valid for the current bid period ending <br />October 21, 2025. <br />ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS SUBMITTED FOR CLARIFICATION <br /> <br />Q1 - Can you please verify that the new crane span in addendum 1 is correct? <br />See Specifications, Plans, and Contract Documents updates to Item 8 above. <br />Q2 - The plans, specifications, and geotechnical report make reference to various <br />design standards (IBC, FHWA, and AASHTO). Please clarify which standard should be <br />used for micropile design and testing. <br />See Attachment O, Question 136. <br />Q3 - In the May 2025 geotechnical report, required ultimate axial loads are provided for <br />static loading (90-kips), seismic loading (55-kips), and downdrag loading (ranging from <br />5-kips to 20-kips) . Please confirm that the static and downdrag loads should be added <br />and act in compression. Please confirm that the seismic loads act in tension. <br />See Attachment O, Question 137. <br />Q4 - Can you confirm all micropiles are required to meet the same axial, seismic and <br />downdrag loads listed in the project geotech report Table 2? <br />See Attachment O, Question 138. <br />Q5 - Can we perform verification tests on a production micropile or do we have to install <br />a sacrificial micropile for each verification test? <br />See Attachment O, Question 139. <br />Q6 - The geotechnical report provides ultimate micropile loads that were determined <br />using AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications. The project specifications provide <br />micropile testing criteria based on FHWA allowable loads. Please confirm that the loads <br />provided in the geotechnical report have been factored and provide testing criteria for <br />factored design load, or, please provide allowable design micropile loads for design and <br />use with the FHWA testing criteria included in the project specifications. <br />See Attachment O, Question 140.
