Question: Referencing the below regarding the QC requirements on the project.-If we engage a consultant, how much time is required? Only while paving operations are ongoing? If someone carries a full time employee for the entirely of the project and someone else takes the consultant route without any parameters, that’s quite a disparity in dollars carried.

Question: Three questions: 1) Where is the paving for item # 60 – P-403 “Bituminous Base Course”? All I’ve found is the Paving Plan (C901) that shows all of the asphalt paving shaded as Normal Duty Asphalt, and the only paving detail I see is on sheet C903 that shows a Prime Coat on top of the 8”GAB and 2” Type C Surface Mix. 2) A prime coat is shown on the paving detail on sheet C903, but I do not see a bid item for it. Will a prime coat be required, and if so, can an item be added for it? 3) Would the County consider applying the SCDOT asphalt liquid index to this project from the time of bid to the time of asphalt placement? With the massive upswing that we are seeing in the cost of liquid asphalt, either we or the GC will have to include a rather large contingency in the bid to cover this amount, and it would almost certainly be less costly to the County to base the asphalt liquid price changes on the SCDOT index rather than having to pay a lump sum contingency amount in the bid.

Response: This will be addressed in Addendum #2. That addendum is expected to be released on June 1.

Question: Architectural Wall Panels Question-Please see below for our RFIs on the HHI project. We asked similar questions on Coastal Carolina, but I imagine we need to formally address some of the same issues for this separate and distinct bid opportunity. 1) Section 064219/2.1/B/5 calls for the FRL paneling to be IMO Certified. To receive IMO certification, Nevamar requires a special order. This certification and the associated adhesive (2.1/B/10) are for marine applications only. Please confirm that these products do not require IMO Certification or the associated marine use adhesive. 2) There are no indications in the Plan or Specs for desired grain direction on WPS-1 & WPS-3 laminate panels. Please confirm that vertical grain direction, if applicable, is required as there are additional costs associated with horizontal grain panel production. 3) Multiple details, like 3/A-566, show the FRL panels receiving a hand applied self-edge. These WPS panel systems are to be fully captured with aluminum extrusion, making it a concealed condition. The labor-intensive edge treatment process is an unnecessary cost driver that adds no performance or safety value to the project. Please confirm that the edges of the fully captured panels are not to receive FRL edge treatment as the fire rated plywood substrate will be concealed by the extrusions. 4) 064219/2.2/B/1 states the “recommended substrate” is ¾” FR OSB or plywood. Confirm ¾” FR material is a requirement for panel substrates. Landscaping Question-The RFI AD_01 came back and they are referring to a tree preservation plan (answering my RFI on the tree clarifications ) but there is no tree preservation plan only trees noted on the landscape plans. Do you have or can you request said plan. This tree work is very subjective on the pruning aspect and hopefully this is clarified on this plan. Need help to get the right numbers. Thank you
