Thank you
Response: QUESTIONS AND CLARIFICATIONS: A. QUESTIONS: Question 1: Can you confirm that all Testing will be paid for by the Contractor and not the County? Answer: All testing will be paid for by the contractor. Question 2: Are Contractors required to Purchase Specs/Plans from Thomas and Hutton in order to be eligible to bid on this project? Answer: Contractors are not required to purchase plans or specs from Thomas & Hutton to be eligible to bid on the project. Question 3: Are all questions to be submitted directly to the Engineer or on the Jasper County site? Answer: Questions must be submitted through the Vendor Registry site. Question 4: How will addendums for this project be issued; via email or via Jasper County Site? Answer: Addendums will be issued through the Vender Registry site. Question 5: The specs reference usage of DBE/WBE/SBE/MBE - is there a Required Percentage? Answer: DBE/WBE/SBE/MBE participation is highly encouraged but is not required.

Question 3
Posted: 10/15/2021
Question: 1) What type of material is to be used for "In Kind Material Driveway" (crusher run, milling, etc). Is this the equivalent of what the SCDOT calls maintenance stone? If it is maintenance stone, typically paid by the ton. 2) Do you anticipate any clearing & grubbing and / or tree pruning to install the storm lines. There is no pay item for this. I have not visited the site, but it appears that some clearing & tree limbing will be required to install the storm drainage pipe. 3) Please provide CAD file to Jackerman@JRWilsonConstruction.com. 4) Due to the depth and size of some of the storm drainage pipe, it appears there will be conflicts with some (or all) of the existing utilities. What conversations have the owner / design team had with the utility providers. Are they on board to relocate there lines if necessary? It is our experience that road projects that don't have SCDOT involvement, the utility providers are reluctant to relocate there lines. This can add a significant amount of time to the overall project duration. 5) Please provide clarification on why you are requiring asphalt pavement & flowable fill replacement the entire length of the project at 2' on both sides of the road, when most of the pipe is going to be installed well off of the edge of pavement. There is no new pipe installation on the south side of Church road except the waterline relocation which is being relocated behind the new sidewalk. 6) Will there be any CSX rail road involvement? Are we required to carry any special railroad protective liability insurance? Are CSX flaggers be needed?
