Question 1
Posted: 11/2/2023
Question: Lewallen is interested in bidding this job. We have done a lot of work in Beaufort on the Spanish Moss Trail, though it has been a few years, and we are well positioned to deliver quality work at a competitive price. To meet the qualifications we will have to obtain a SC Contractors License and get on the SCDOT pre-qualified prime contractors list. I intend to start that process this week but will the County of Beaufort allow us to bid while we work on these 2 items?
Response: The contractor should be certified as a SCDOT pre-qualified prime contractor and have their SC Contractors License at the time of the bid opening to submit and perform work as a Prime contractor. If a contractor is performing work as a subcontractor, they should have their SC Contractors license.
Question 2
Posted: 11/13/2023
Question: Almost all the cross sections sheets are the same. Can we get a revision?
Response: See Addendum
Question 3
Posted: 11/14/2023
Question: Can we get a detail for the striping proposed for eliminating the US 21 Ramp?
Response: On plan sheet 7, it is noted: Remove existing ramp pavement to US 21 and deceleration lane along US 21 (approx. 2700 SY) and restripe existing US 21 Turn Lane with 4” White Solid Edge Line (Approx. 380 LF), Add new concrete at existing Spanish Moss Trail Cross Walk (Approx. 300 SY). The 4” White Solid Edge Line complies with SCDOT’s Standard Drawings.
Question 4
Posted: 11/14/2023
Question: Will there be water line items added to the schedule of values?
Response: The water line items are in the bid documents. See Schedule of Values Pay Item number 1052110 Large Public Water Relocation and associated Special Provision Section 105: Public Utility Relocation and information in Appendix 2
Question 5
Posted: 11/16/2023
Question: What are the clearing limits? I see the dotted limit of grading line and I see SCDOT ROW line. Do we clear to one or the other or at our discression?
Response: The quantity is Clearing & Grubbing within Roadway, and the clearing limits are shown by either the cut & fill limits (dashed line w/ 00’C or 00’F) or NPDES line, whichever is farther from the edge of pavement. This project will not clear the entire right of way as that is a different pay item. See SCDOT’s special provisions and 2007 Standard Specifications for Highway Construction.
Question 6
Posted: 11/16/2023
Question: How deep is the 12" water main? Particularly interested in the section between Sta 158 and 200 where it's under the existing trail.
Response: Based on the utility coordination that was performed, the 12” water line is not in conflict with path and would be located 3’ or greater below ground per SC DHEC, SCDOT and BJWSA cover requirements.
Question 7
Posted: 11/16/2023
Question: On some plan sheets there is a dotted line labeled FOL. What is that?
Response: FOL is fiber optic line.
Question 8
Posted: 11/16/2023
Question: You have grading line items like Unclassified Excavation, Borrow Excavation, and Muck Excavation broke out into cubic yards. How will these units be measure for payment?
Response: It will be paid by unit rates. The unclassified and muck excavations will be measured by volume of earthwork excavated. The borrow excavation is based on the measurement of material removed from the borrow pit in addition to the truck tickets.
Question 9
Posted: 11/16/2023
Question: Will Beaufort County pay for stored materials? The drainage pipe and structures of particular interest to me.
Response: Payment may be allowed for stored materials, if the storage location is bonded and insured and written authorization for access is provided to the County.
Question 10
Posted: 11/16/2023
Question: Will Beaufort County release a plan holders list or budget?
Response: You can get the planholders list on Vendor Registry. The County will not release the budget for this project. Vendors must submit their own pricing.
