1 ADDENDUM NO. 1 July 26, RE: FROM: TO: CITY OF BARRE HMGP STORM DRAIN IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS DuBOIS & KING, INC. P.O. Box 339 Randolph, Vermont (802) Prospective Bidders This Addendum forms part of the Contract Documents and modifies the original Bidding Documents issued by the City of Barre, for the HMGP Storm Drain Improvement Projects dated July, Acknowledge receipt of this Addendum in the space provided on Page 1 of the Bid Form. Failure to do so will subject the Bidder to disqualification. I. Pre-Bid Meeting A Pre-Bid meeting was held at the Barre City Hall on July 18, 2017 at 9:00 a.m. Attendees are listed on the attached Pre-Bid Meeting Attendance Log. Chuck Goodling, P.E., of DuBois & King, Inc. described key elements of the project. The following addresses questions received at the pre-bid meeting, as well as subsequent questions from prospective bidders. II. Questions & Answers Question 1: Note 5 on Sheet C3 is not clear. Answer 1: The reference to CB 5 is incorrect. The correct reference should be CB 4. Question 2: Have any potential staging areas been identified? Answer 2: The City noted the following for information only and as potential areas that the Contractor may consider pursuing with the associated land owner: North Main Street: Wastewater Treatment Facility (Steve Micheli ) Dollar General parking area Granite Street: Dessureau Machines (Mark C. Dessureau )

2 ADDENDUM NO. 1 July 26, 2017 Page 2 of 4 The Contractor is responsible for confirming the availability of these or any other staging areas. Refer to Article 5 of the General Conditions and Section for further requirements. Question 3: Does the City require that the two project areas are constructed in a specific order? Answer 3: No, but the City is hopeful construction in the two project areas could proceed simultaneously. Regardless, they both need to be completed within the construction contract period that is defined. Question 4: Should the North Main Street stormwater improvements (and finish paving) be coordinated with the ongoing VTrans paving project? Answer 4: The City s HMGP Storm Drain Improvement Projects is proceeding independent of the VTrans ongoing paving project on Route 302. The Contractor shall provide general coordination with VTrans when working on the North Main Street portion of this project, and perform work so as not to interfere with VTrans operations. If the finish paving associated with the storm drain improvements can be coordinated to occur concurrently with the VTrans finish paving, that would be ideal, but there is no requirement to coordinate finish paving on the City s project with the VTrans paving schedule. Question 5: Would the City allow night work on this project? Answer 5: Yes, with prior approval of a work plan, and between the hours of 7:00 pm and 5:30 am. Question 6: Does the Traffic Control Plan that will be developed by the Contractor need to be stamped by a Professional Engineer and reviewed by VTrans? Answer 6: A site-specific Traffic Control Plan shall be developed by the Contractor for each project area. This plan does not need to be stamped by a Professional Engineer but it does need to comply with MUTCD and all other applicable standards. The Contractor is responsible for all traffic control, signage, and safety. The Traffic Control Plan does not need to be reviewed by VTrans. Question 7: When will the City be done with the utility relocations that need to be completed? Answer 7: On or before August 21, 2017.

3 ADDENDUM NO. 1 July 26, 2017 Page 3 of 4 Question 8: Will the City consider adding a pay item to the bid form to account for Uniform Traffic Officer, which is expected to be necessary on the North Main Street portion of the project?
