North Carolina State Ports Authority (NCSPA) Container Yard Expansion 2018 Port of Wilmington NCSPA Contract No. C 1196(W) Pre Bid Conference Notes 1. A Pre Bid Conference (bidder attendance not mandatory) and site tour was held on Tuesday, January 16, 2018 at 1:30 pm. The following points were noted: 2. Bidders and sub bidders seeking to visit the site should contact Mr. Barry Addertion prior to the visit (this includes current TWIC and Port Access Card holders as well as those needing escort). 3. Badging: Due to limitations on escorted access, bidders and sub bidders should plan for all workers to obtain both a federal TWIC card and a Port Access Card. See Appendix D 2 in the specification book. The cost is $127.50 for the federal TWIC card and $20 for the NCSPA Port Access Card. 4. Worker vehicles may be parked in the contractor s staging and work areas. Drivers need the TWIC and Port Access Card. Vehicles are subject to inspection. Do not carry weapons onto the Port. 5. The only involvement of the State Construction Office (SCO) in this project is electrical inspection. The SCO electrical inspector comes to Wilmington once per week (typically Wednesdays). 6. A question was raised as to whether bidders need to have an Unclassified GC license. See Addendum 2 item 4. 7. A question was raised as to whether the paving requirements which exceed NCDOT standards (stiffer polymer modified asphalt binder and higher compaction requirements) are required for the project. It was noted that these requirements could result in higher bid prices than standard NCDOT requirements. This pavement is intended to serve reach stacker equipment with very high wheel loads. The discussion points will be taken under advisement. Bidders are requested to submit any information regarding suggested changes to the paving requirements in writing to the design engineer for consideration. 8. A question was raised as to whether any asbestos containing materials (ACM) was scheduled to remain in place. For Warehouse 8 (DRI Building), all ACM is to be removed. In the case of potential buried pipe and conduit with ACM, it may be abandoned in place if below the pavement subgrade and/or below new utility and drainage pipe and structure subgrade.
