Attention: Infinity Engineering Consultants, LLC Subject: Pritchard Ditch Drainage Improvements – Pritchard Rd. (Between Clover St and Leo Kerner Pkwy.) BID #50-00138382 – BID DATE: 14-JUL-2022 AT 2:00 PM. LMB PRE-BID RFI-001 Attention Project Engineer: LMB Services, LLC is submitting the following questions for an official response that shall clarify and/or modify the bid specifications, drawings, and all related contract documents for the subject project. This information will be used for bidders to base their bids on. 1. What is the Engineer’s estimated dollar amount of the project? 2. Will Owner’s Protective Liability Insurance and/or Builder’s Risk Insurance be required for this project, and if so, what will be the minimum limits of coverage? 3. Please clarify exactly what type of bid submissions will be acceptable in order for bids to be considered responsible and responsive. i.e. paper, electronic, or both. 4. Work Schedules and Inspection Fees – A.) Will the Contractor be allowed to work extended work schedules such as 7 days per week/12 hours per day? B.) If the Contractor elects to work more than 40 hours per week, weekends and/or holidays, will there be any inspection fees charged to the Contractor by the Engineer or Parish? If so, please provide parameters and rates. 5. Jobsite Offices and Staging Area - A.) Will the Contractor be required to provide a jobsite office for its supervisory staff? B.) Will the Contractor be required to provide a jobsite office for the Engineer’s Inspector and/or Parish? If so, please provide office specifications. C.) If the Contractor choses to mobilize a jobsite office, where can it be placed at? D.) Where will the Contractor be allowed to stage its materials, fuel storage, and equipment when not in use? 6. Is there any required work sequence that the Owner or Engineer wants the work performed in? If so, please explain. 7. Traffic Control – A.) Will the Contractor be required to submit a MUTCD Compliant Traffic Plan for Owner and/or Engineer approval? B.) If a Traffic Plan is required, does the Plan need to be designed and stamped by a licensed professional Engineer? If so, does the Engineer need to be a “Traffic” Engineer, or will a Civil Engineer be acceptable? C.) Will the Contractor be required to provide a certified DOTD Traffic Control Supervisor (TCS) on the job, as required by LADOTD guidelines, AND to submit the Daily Reports to the Engineer as called for in the last paragraph of Specification Section SP.08 TRAFFIC MAINTENANCE, CONSTRUCTION SIGNING, TEMPORARY SIGNS AND BARRICADES, AND PUBLIC SAFETY? 8. Sheeting, Shoring and Bracing – A.) On sheet number G2.00 of the project drawings, Note 1 reads: “SHEETING, SHORING AND BRACING SHALL BE DESIGNED, INSTALLED AND MAINTAINED BY CONTRACTOR. SUBMIT CALCULATIONS AND DESIGN TO ENGINEER, AT CONTRACTOR’S OPTION. SHEETING MAY REMAIN, AT NO ADDITIONAL COST TO THE OWNER.” i.) Please check the punctuation is this paragraph. Specifically, the comma and period where it reads: “DESIGN TO ENGINEER, AT CONTRACTOR’S OPTION. SHEETING”. It seems that the comma and period should be reversed. This could completely change the intent, context and requirements of the paragraph. B.) On the Louisiana Uniform Public Work Bid Form – Unit Price Form, REF NO. 802-03 entitled: “STEEL SHEET PILE WALL” has a quantity of 12,640 SF shown. This item seems to conflict with the language in Note 1 on sheet G2.00. i.) Will the Contractor be required to use “STEEL” Sheet Pile? Or will a system designed, installed and maintained by the Contractor using wood, vinyl and/or a rental shoring system be acceptable, as long as the design criteria and calculations can support the canal banks from failing? ii.) If the Contractor uses temporary steel, wood, vinyl and/or a rental shoring system in lieu of a permanent ‘left in place” Steel Sheet Pile Wall, will the Contractor be paid for this work under REF NO. 802-03? If not, under what item will the Contractor be paid for this work? 9. On sheet number G2.00 of the project drawings, the TYPICAL BOX CULVERT SECTION, indicates a thickness of 1’-0” for the concrete top, bottom and side walls of the culvert. i.) Will a lesser thickness be allowed, provided that the Contractor and/or Manufacturer can provide a design that meets the engineering requirements. If this may be an option, please notify all Bidders and Suppliers as soon as possible prior to the scheduled bid date, so incoming culvert quotes will reflect the obvious cost savings to the Owner. 10. On the Louisiana Uniform Public Work Bid Form – Unit Price Form, REF NO. 402-01 entitled: “MAINLINE TRAFFIC MAINTENANCE SURFACING (AGGREGATE)” shows a quantity of 40 CY. Will this item be paid for by Vehicular CY Measurement? 11. Earthen Dams – i.) On the Louisiana Uniform Public Work Bid Form – Unit Price Form, REF NO. S-004-A entitled: “INITIAL INSTALLATION & FINAL REMOVAL OF DAMS” shows a quantity of 1 LS. a.) Is there any specific type of soil that will be required to construct the dams out of? If so, please specify material type and/or classification. b.) Are there any minimum, or maximum, elevations, toe-to-toe widths, crown widths, or slopes that dams must be constructed to? If so, please explain and/or provide details. ii.) On the Louisiana Uniform Public Work Bid Form – Unit Price Form, REF NO. S-004-B entitled: “DAM REMOVAL & REPLACEMENT” shows a quantity of 5 EA. a.) When will this item be counted for payment to the Contractor? i.e. when Contractor deems removal and replacement necessary? Only if, and/or when, Contractor is ordered by the Owner and/or Engineer to remove and replace the dams? b.) In the event that the quantity of 5 dams be exceeded, will approval to construct additional dams require an approved Change Order to insure that the Contractor is paid for this additional work? c.) When counting the number of dams being removed and replaced for payment under the Unit Price Per Each as bid, will the upstream and downstream dams be counted individually, or as one dam? 12. On the Louisiana Uniform Public Work Bid Form – Unit Price Form, REF NO. S-008 and REF NO. S-009 in connection with “EXPLORATORY EXCAVATION”, when, where, and or under what circumstances, does the Owner and/or Engineer expect to use these items? 13. In consideration that this project will take place during the height of Atlantic Hurricane Season, and the site is located in a low-lying, flood prone area, that Contractor may have to demobilize its equipment due to an incoming storm, Will the Owner and/or Engineer please consider adding an “If Needed” Demobilization/Remobilization Bid Item to cover the costs of these unquantifiable events? 14. Will the Contractor, or the Owner, be responsible to pay for any testing costs? 15. Is there any indication, information, and/or belief, on the part of the Owner and/or Engineer, that any of the existing materials on this project, including but not limited to, water, soils, existing pipe, that will be handled by the Contractor and/or its Employees, may be classified as hazardous, infectious, industrial, contaminated, radioactive, or any other type of controlled and/or regulated substance? If so, please explain and provide a copy of any supporting information to all Bidders. THIS CONCLUDES PRE-BID RFI-001

Please clarify as to how Contract Time will be adjusted for weather impacted delay days. C.) Based on our calculations, considering the time it will take for submittal preparation, particularly with respect to shop drawings for the new concrete box culverts, and design of steel sheet pile wall, we are requesting that the Owner and/or Engineer consider allowing a total of 150 consecutive calendar days, plus allowance for weather impacted delay days.

The detail for Typical Section of 26’ Roadway has a NOTE that reads: “THICKNESS OF GRANULAR BASE COURSE SHALL BE RECOMMENDED BY A SOIL ENGINEER OR BASED ON JEFFERSON PARISH SOIL MAP”.
