Question 1

Posted: 11/4/2020

Question: Please advise the list of additional forms required to be submitted other than bid form with the bid packet.

Response: Please see Addendum 1.

Question 2

Posted: 11/4/2020

Question: Would a change in bid date be considered? The SCDOT letting is on the same date & time and there are projects with similar scopes being bid.

Response: Please see Addendum 1.

Question 3

Posted: 11/9/2020

Question: On sheet 3G the typical section for Sable Lane & Wagon Trail Rd. calls for 6" Graded Aggregate Base Course. There is no pay item for 6" GABC. If the typical section is correct will a pay item be added for 6" GABC?

Response: Please see Addendum 1.

Question 4

Posted: 11/11/2020

Question: We wanted to ask if Dorchester County would entertain the possibility of moving the bid date for this project to possibly 12/10 (or later) since the current bid date of 12/8 falls on the monthly SCDOT letting date with multiple jobs in this area bidding on that date.

Response: Please see Addendum 1.
