Port Gardner Storage Facility Volume 7 Attachment O Page 16 CITY OF EVERETT ⋅ 3200 Cedar Street ⋅ Everett, WA 98201 ⋅ (425) 257-8800 ⋅ Fax (425) 257-8882 Q74 - Drawing GX-20-3001, Section 3 indicates to saw cut two new openings, but not the wall between them, nor the shelf slab. Section 1 indicates the middle wall and shelf slab are to be demolished too. This shelf slab is not shown on Drawing GX-20-1001, Upper Demolition Plan either. Which is correct? Section 3, Drawing GX-20-3001 section does not pass through a “shelf slab”. Section 1, Drawing GX-20-3001 is showing demolition of 4’-4” of the interior wall outside of the second vault, which is consistent with the plan. Drawing GX-20- 1001, Upper Demolition Plan is not showing deck demolition, which is shown on Drawing GX-20-1002. While some sections are showing “beyond” demolition not necessarily through the specific section cuts, no inconsistencies were found in the referenced plans and sections. Q75 - Drawing GX-30-3002, Details A and Section 2. After removal of surface concrete to the expected depth, what is the finish required at the new surface elevation and edges? See Section 03 01 00 – Concrete Repair, Paragraph 3.03.F.3. Roughen surface of concrete to a minimum ¼-inch amplitude. Use Section 03 01 00 in general for concrete repair and preparation prior to new Work. Q76 - Micropile casing requirements: 31 66 33 2.01 B. 1. states that casing requires mill certs. Mill secondary steel pipe without certs is typically acceptable for Micropile casing, provided that coupon testing confirms minimum yield strength of 80 ksi and meeting the requirements of ASTM A519, A106 or A252 or API N80. Please clarify if casing with coupon testing is acceptable, even if mill certs are not available. Coupon testing from vendor may be used in lieu of mill certificates, as noted in Section 31 63 33 Drilled Micropiles, Part 1.05.A.5. Q77 - Specification 31 63 33 | Article 2.01.B.1: Specification requires mill certificates for the casing. Micropile casings do not come with mill certs. The industry standard micropile casings come with test coupons and a letter of conformance from vendors. Will these documents be accepted in lieu of mill certificates? Coupon testing from vendor may be used in lieu of mill certificates, as noted in Section 31 63 33 Drilled Micropiles, Part 1.05.A.5. Q78 - GC 2.4 and 3.2 – Under GC 2.4, Owner or Owner’s Representative may extend time to respond to a Submittal. Please clarify that if such time is extended, Contractor shall be permitted to claim schedule and price relief for impacts of such extension, because it is not possible for bidders to account for the nature and extent of such extensions in their respective schedules and planning of the work. On a related note, under GC 3.2, the Contractor has an obligation to “allow sufficient time for Owner’s review of Submittals… so as not to delay the Work”. Please clarify in GC 3.2 that 30 days (as contemplated by GC 2.4) will be deemed sufficient for the purposes of GC 3.2.
