Port Gardner Storage Facility Volume 7 Attachment O Page 12 CITY OF EVERETT ⋅ 3200 Cedar Street ⋅ Everett, WA 98201 ⋅ (425) 257-8800 ⋅ Fax (425) 257-8882 Q56 - Specification 02 41 00 3.04 DEMOLITION A states “The contractor shall be responsible for determining the scope and extent of the required work by inspecting the site prior to submittal of bid.” Please confirm that if demolition beyond the limits shown in the drawings is required to construct the Work, Article 6 CHANGES will apply for compensation. The linear demolitions shown in the drawings do not have finite limits. For example, the end of pipe and/or duct bank, buried electrical lines, etc. are approximate and may have to be extended to permit installation of new facilities. This is noted in General Note 8 on Drawing CX-10-2002, CX-10-2003, and CX-10- 2004. Further, paragraph 3.04.E of the specification in question also notes the necessity to remove piping and duct bank from areas indicated on the drawings and as necessary to install new facilities. Hence, demolition beyond the linear limits do not fall under Article 6 Changes. In addition, per Specification 02 41 00 3.04, paragraph 3.04.C states that the drawings define minimum portions of facilities and structures to be removed. Therefore, if some additional demolition/removal is needed to install new facilities, it would not fall under Article 6 Changes. Also, if existing buried structures, piping, duct bank, electrical conduit and cables not shown on record drawings are discovered during construction that differ materially from the drawings and specifications, this may be addressed under General Conditions Article 11 Differing Site Conditions. Q57 - Drawing CD-10-7001, Detail L, indicates a 36”x36” hatch for the precast utility vault. Note 1 says the assembly will be installed in a non-traffic area. Shall it conform to Specification 08 31 20 and are they (2 each) any of the ones listed in the Floor Access Door Schedule in Section 3.06? The 36”X36” hatches are not included in the Section 3.06 table. The hatch per detail L should be load rated 300 psf minimum, as specified in Section 08 31 20. Q58 - Drawings C-10-1203 and C-10-6201 show SWVT 46-06 in plan and profile respectively, but no apparent reference to construction details (precast or CIP). Please provide. SWVT 46-06 is a packaged pump station that shall meet Specification 33 32 16. Q59 - Please reference drawing D-40-1001. Drawing D-40-1001 shows a 6” SW line connecting to an existing concrete box. No penetration details are listed. Please advise if the penetration already exists or if one should be included in this bid. If so, please provide the penetration detail type. There is an existing penetration from the concrete box to connect the new 6" SW. No new penetration is required.
