2 dowels ust be installed and the width of the adjustent ust be 300 whereas the specials state that if the width is less than 300 no dowels are required. Please clarify. A1. Suppleentary Specifications Clause 13, Gutter Adjustent - RD407SS has been deleted. Q2. Also, in reference to the gutter adjustent, the special does not specify how the work will be easured and paid for. Please specify. A2.

Section 4A Special Specifications, Special Provisions #10, Construction Constraints, according to the chart depicting the working hours it states that work can only occur on Queen St Monday to Friday fro 7:00a to 5:00p is this correct? Does this pertain to all aspects of work including deliveries, asphalt paving, and line arking? 2 2 of 9

3 A7. Yes. Deliveries, paving and line arkings will be reviewed on a case by case basis. Q8. Section 4A Special Specifications, Special Provisions #10, Construction Constraints, states that the contractor is peritted to work on both sidewalks (north and south side of Queen St) however, is not peritted to reconstruct ore than 50 of sidewalk at a tie on either side or as approved by the contract adinistrator. Please describe in detail what is considered reconstruct, can the contractor only excavate 50 per side? if so how do you propose we accoodate the electrical work? Further to that stateent, if the contractor can coplete ore sidewalk on a daily basis are they not to exceed 50 per day? A8. As stated in the Special, further sidewalk reoval/reconstruction shall not be copleted until a 1.5 pedestrian clearway is reinstated. Please see P for further inforation regarding the typical sidewalk detail. Q9. Section 4A Special Specifications, Special Provisions #10, Construction Constraints, states the contractor shall aintain uninterrupted TTC bus routes at all ties during construction. Please provide a list of bus routes to be aintained and the routes taken. A9. Please see the following website ( Q10. Section 4A Special Specifications, Special Provisions #10, Construction Constraints, states the contractor shall give the contract adinistrator at least 28 days notice before any request for closures are considered. This stateent is unachievable! You are requesting the contractor to start work on this contract 18 calendar days after the tender closes! A10. See Section 4, Clause 4. Q11. Section 4A Special Specifications, Special Provisions #10, Construction Constraints, states the contractor shall aintain uninterrupted vehicular and pedestrian access to and fro all residences and businesses at all ties. This stateent is preposterous! Please describe in detail what the contract adinistrator will consider uninterrupted? A11. This language has been standard in City of Toronto Contracts for quite soe tie. Please see Section 2 regarding Bidder requireents. Q12. Section 4A Special Specifications, Special Provisions #10, Construction Constraints, states teporary pedestrian bridges shall be constructed to facilitate construction of the sidewalk..

4 Q13. Section 4A Special Specifications, Special Provisions #10, Construction Constraints, states production lead ties for non-standard exterior furnishings can be up to twelve weeks. A twelve week delivery tie would ean that ites will be delivered after phase 1 is scheduled to be copleted. How do you suppose the contractor deal with this ipossible requireent? Is May 8 th a reasonable start date? A13. See Section 4, Clause 4. The twelve weeks is the axiu aount and is not necessarily related to Queen Street (i.e. the furnishings on Denison Avenue and Ryerson Avenue). Q14. Section 4A Special Specifications, Special Provisions #10, Construction Constraints, states the contractor shall ensure all products are ordered prior to the preconstruction eeting; with confiration provided to the contract adinistrator at the preconstruction eeting.

The preconstruction eeting will be held after the Contract has been executed. Q15. Section 4A Special Specifications, Special Provisions #10, Construction Constraints, states tie is of the essence in the copletion of this contract and the contractor shall therefore, eploy ultiple crews. The contractor is also expected to work on weekends as required. We cannot work on Queen St on the weekends, we cannot construct ore than 50 of sidewalk on either side of the road at a tie, how tie sensitive could this project be? How do you suppose we engage ultiple crews if we can only construct 50 of sidewalk per side? Furtherore, if the schedule falls behind there is no way to expedite it to get it back on track. A15. See Section 4, Clause 4. Q16. Section 4A Special Specifications, Special Provisions #11, Traffic Control, states in various sections that discussions should take place prior to the preconstruction eeting.

Section 4A Special Specifications, Special Provisions #14, Street Furniture, states the contract adinistrator shall endeavour to fulfill the requests as quickly as possible, but the city shall not be liable for any costs incurred due to delays or rejections of a request. How is the Contractor held to such a high standard of required perforance whereas the City ay or ay not coplete required work and if they do not coplete the required work they are not responsible for the cost of the delays? Would it not be ore responsible to put an achievable tie line in the tender? A20. The language is part of the standard specification. Q21.
