  • In the Contract book you mention a Completion Date of 7/31/2024 and an Interim Completion Date of 10/31/2023. There is no mention of a Start Date. However, at the Pre-Bid meeting we found a Start Date of June 2023 on the leaflet. Please clarify what the Start Dates for each year are for this Project.
    Stage 1 of contract 62U24 is to coincide with stage 2 of contract 62K74 and to start in June of 2023. (01/17/2023)

  • Page 7, proposal. The paragraph for Location of Project list three locations. There are pay items for 4 locations. Please clarrify which structure belongs to each pay item.
    An addendum has been posted and the description of location has been revised. (01/17/2023)

  • The charts on pages 88 and 89 of the project specifications show that the contractor will have only 5 hours on most nights to deploy barrier, install containment, deploy access equipment, abrasive blast, inspect, prime, dismantle containment, remove access equipment, and restore barrier to initial one lane condition. We do not feel there is adequate time to perform production work (abrasive blasting, inspecting, and priming). Can IDOT please consider allowing 8-10 hours in lieu of 5 hours?
    An addendum has been posted and provides with new hours in the Keeping The Expressway Open to Traffic spec. These hours are the maximum hours that can be accommodated. (01/17/2023)

  • On the Special Provisions, Page 1, Location of Project, it details Three Locations and corresponding Structure Numbers that go with each Location. However, there are Four Pay Items for Bridge Cleaning and Painting Warranty. We need clarification on what structure numbers are to be included with each Pay Item so that the Special Provisions, Bid Sheet and Drawings are consistent.

  • Bridge Painting operations are not mobile. Can consideration be made to provide continous lane closures for all phases to allow for continous access to the structural steel? Night Work for this job is not feasable and very unsafe. Contractors need continous acess to the steel to do the job properly and provide a quality product.
    This contract includes the use of movable barrier for positive protection as well as continuous lane closure of lane 5 during stage 1 and continuous lane closure of lane 1 during stage 2. (01/10/2023)

  • Due to the complexity of this project and many unanswered questions, can IDOT postpone the bid date by at least one week?

  • Under the General Paint notes on Sheet No 2 it states Railroad Bridge over Green St “The fascia beams and bottom flanges for the railroad bridge adjacent to Green St shall be the only steel cleaned and painted following the procedures listed above.” Are the painting limits the Fascia and bottom flanges of the railroad over Eastbound I-90/94 or is it the fascia beams and bottom flanges of the railroad bridge over green street only? Can the IDOT clearly define the painting limits of this bridge

  • In Sheet #2 of the Plans you write: "The Fascia Beams and bottom flanges for the RR bridge adjacent to Green St. shall be the only steel cleaned & painted". 1) Only the bottom flanges of the fascia beams or all bottom flanges? 2) Upon field inspection we noticed that part of the North fascia beam & the South fascia beam are over NB I-94. Also there is a big cross girder, part of which could be considered a "fascia beam". Can you please provide exact project limits for the train bridge?
