A. The following question was brought up during the advertisement process.
Can you provide the Bid Schedule in Excel format?

B. The following question was brought up during the advertisement process.
Please define the requirement for detouring pedestrians “through the work

labor necessary to create and maintain the pedestrian detour route (ex.
orange safety fence, barrels, signs, etc.) will be paid under Item #630-01
Construction Zone Traffic Control of the bid schedule.
Per Addendum #1, Transfort has agreed to a temporary relocation of the
College Avenue bus stop.
C. The following question was brought up during the advertisement process.
Per the Summary of Work in the Project Special Provisions, there are up
to nine days of “Anticipated Calendar Days Lost to Adverse Weather
Conditions” between May and June. Due to the short schedule and the
inability to make up days if the “Days Lost” occur near the end of the
project, can you consider granting extensions to time for all “Days Lost”

Special Notice
Contractors who have completed this application in the past, please note the following
changes in procedure:
The Department will no longer issue individual Certificates of exemption to
subcontractors. Only prime contractors will receive a Contractor’s Exemption Certificate
on exempt projects.
Upon receipt of the Certificate, the prime contractor should make a copy for each
subcontractor involved in the project and complete it by filling in the subcontractor’s
name and address and signing it.
The original Certificate should always be retained by the prime contractor. Copies of all
Certificates that the prime contractor issued to subcontractors should be kept at the
prime contractor’s place of business for a minimum of three years and be available for
inspection in the event of an audit.
Once an 89# has been assigned to you, please use the next five numbers following it
for any applications submitted for future projects. This should be your permanent
number. For instance, if you were assigned 89-12345-0001, every application
submitted thereafter should contain 89-12345 on the application. The succeeding
numbers will be issued by the Department of Revenue. DO NOT enter what you
believe to be the next in sequence as this may delay processing of your application.

SUMMARY OF WORK
PART 1 GENERAL
1.25 Modifications to Time of Completion in the Approved Schedule
A. The date of beginning and the time for completion of the work are essential conditions of the
Contract Documents and the work embraced shall be commenced on a date specified in the
Notice to Proceed.
The Contractor will proceed with the work at such rate of progress to ensure full completion
within the contract time. It is expressly understood and agreed, by and between the
Contractor and the Owner that the contract time for the completion of the work described
herein is a reasonable time, taking into consideration the climatic and other factors
prevailing in the locality of the work.
Every effort shall be made by the Contractor to complete the project within the "Contract
Time" shown in the proposal. The "Contract Time" anticipates "Normal" weather and climate
conditions in and around the vicinity of the Project site during the times of year that the
construction will be carried out. Extensions of time based upon weather conditions shall be
granted only if the Contractor demonstrates clearly that such conditions were "unusually
severe," would not have been reasonably anticipated, and that such conditions adversely
affected the Contractor’s work and thus required additional time to complete the work.
The following specifies the procedure for the determination of time extensions for unusually
severe weather. The listing below defines the anticipated number of calendar days lost to
adverse weather for each month and is based upon National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) or similar data for the geographic location of the project.
Monthly Anticipated Calendar Days Lost to Adverse Weather Conditions
JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC
(7) (4) (4) (4) (6) (3) (4) (2) (3) (3) (2) (5)
The above schedule of anticipated adverse weather will constitute the base line for monthly
(or portion thereof) weather time evaluations. Upon acknowledgment of the Notice to
Proceed and continuing throughout the contract on a monthly basis, actual adverse weather
days and the impact of adverse weather days that delay the work will be recorded on a day-
to-day basis. It is assumed that the work will be carried out Mondays through Fridays
(holidays excepted) unless an approved construction schedule or written authorization from
the Owner indicates otherwise. The number of days of delayed work due to adverse weather
or the impact thereof will then be compared to the monthly adverse weather schedule
above.
An actual adverse weather day must prevent work for 50 percent or more of the
Contractor’s workday, delay work critical to the timely completion of the project, and be
documented by the Contractor. The City Representative observing the construction shall
determine on a daily basis whether or not work can proceed or if work is delayed due to
adverse weather or the effects thereof. The Contractor shall notify the Engineer in writing of
Skyway Drive Transfort Improvements
Gateway Center Drive to South College Avenue
6
any disagreement as to whether or not work can proceed on a given date, within 2 calendar
days of that date. The Owner will use the above written notification in determining the
number of working days for which work was delayed during each month.
At the end of each month, if the number of working days for which work was delayed due to
adverse weather exceeds that shown in the above schedule, a Change Order will be
executed which increases the Contract Time. The number of work days delayed due to
adverse weather or the impact thereof will then be converted to Calendar Days based on the
contract completion day and date. This conversion assumes a 5-day work week, Mondays
through Fridays, holidays excepted; should the Contractor have authorization to work
weekends and/or holidays, then the method of conversion of workdays to calendar days
would take this into consideration. The contract time period will then be increased by the
number of calendar days calculated above and a new contract completion day and date will
be set.
The Contractor’s schedule must reflect the above-anticipated adverse weather delays on all
weather-dependent activities. While extensions of time shall be granted for "unusually
severe" weather or climate conditions, the Owner shall make no monetary compensation for
any costs to the Contractor arising out of such delays. The Contractor shall comply with the
portions of the Contract Documents relating to his project schedule and amendments
thereto which result from the "unusually severe" weather condition.
Breakdowns in equipment or lack of performance by the Contractor will not be considered
justification for an extension of time. Liquidated damages will be assessed as delineated
elsewhere.
The Contractor shall not be charged with liquidated damages or any excess cost when the
delay in completion of the work is due to the following, and the Contractor has promptly
given written notice of such delay to the Owner or Engineer.
1. To any preference, priority, or allocation order duly issued by the Owner.
2. To unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the
Contractor, including but not restricted to, acts of God, or of the public enemy, acts of the
Owner, acts of another Contractor in the performance of a contract with the Owner, fires,
floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, and abnormal and
unforeseeable weather as provided above; and
3. To any delays of Subcontractors occasioned by any of the causes specified in
paragraphs 1 and 2, above.

HOT MIX ASPHALT – VERIFICATION TESTING
Section 106 of the Standard Specifications is hereby revised for this project as follows:
Delete subsection 106.05 (e) and replace with the following:
(e) Mix Verification Testing. After the mix design has been approved and production
commences, the Department will perform a minimum of three volumetric verification tests for
each of the following elements to verify that the field produced Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA)
conforms to the approved mix design:
(1) Air Voids
(2) Voids in Mineral Aggregate (VMA).
(3) Asphalt Content (AC).
The test frequency shall be one per day unless altered by the Engineer.
The test results will be evaluated and the Contractor shall make adjustments if required in
accordance with the following:
1. Target Values. The target value for VMA will be the average of the first three volumetric
field test results on project produced hot mix asphalt or the target value specified in
Table 403-1 and Table 403-2 of the specifications, whichever is higher. The target value
for VMA will be set no lower than 0.5 percent below the VMA target on Form 43 prior to
production. The target values for the test element of air voids and AC shall be the mix
design air voids and mix design AC as shown on Form 43.
2. Tolerance Limits. The tolerance limits for each test element shall be:
AC ± 0.3 percent
Air Voids ± 1.2 percent
VMA ± 1.2 percent
3. Quality Levels. Calculate an individual QL for each of the elements using the volumetric
field verification test results. If the QL for VMA or AC is less than 65 or if the QL for air
voids is less than 70, the production shall be halted and the Contractor shall submit a
written proposal for a mix design revision to the Engineer. Production shall only
commence upon receipt of written approval from the Engineer of the proposed mix
design revision.
After a new or revised mix design is approved, three additional volumetric field verification
tests will be performed on asphalt produced with the new or revised mix design. The test
frequency shall be one per day unless altered by the Engineer.
If the QL for VMA or AC is less than 65 or the QL for the test element of air voids is less
than 70, then production shall be halted until a new mix design has been completed in
accordance with CP 52 or CP 54, a new Form 43 issued, and the Contractor
37
demonstrates that he is capable of producing a mixture meeting the verification
requirements in accordance with A or B below:
A. The Contractor shall produce test material at a site other than a CDOT project. The
Contractor shall notify the Engineer a minimum of 48 hours notice prior to the
requested test. The location and time of the test are subject to the approval of the
Engineer, prior to placement. Three samples will be tested for volumetric
properties. If the QL for VMA or AC is equal or greater than 65 and the QL for the
element of air voids is equal or greater than 70, full production may resume or;
B. The Contractor may construct a 500 ton test strip on the project. Three samples in
the last 200 tons will be tested for volumetric properties. After construction of the
test section, production shall be halted until the testing is complete and element QLs
are calculated. If the QL for VMA or AC is equal or greater than 65 or the QL for the
element of air voids is equal or greater than 70, full production may resume. If the
QL for VMA or AC is less than 65 or the QL for the element of air voids is less than
70, the material shall be removed and replaced at no cost to the Department. The
time count will continue, and any delay to the project will be considered to have
been caused by the Contractor and will not be compensable.
The costs associated with mix designs shall be solely at the Contractor’s expense.
If the Contractor fails to verify the new mix design in accordance with A or B, then
production shall be halted until a new mix design has been completed in accordance
with CP 52 or CP 54, a new Form 43 issued, and the Contractor demonstrates they are
capable of producing a mixture meeting the verification requirements in accordance with
A or B.
4. New or Revised Mix Design. Whenever a new or revised mix design is used and
production resumes, three additional volumetric field verification tests shall be performed
and the test results evaluated in accordance with the above requirements. The test
frequency shall be one per day unless altered by the Engineer.
5. Field Verification Process Complete. When the field verification process described above
is complete and production continues, the sample frequency will revert back to a
minimum of 1/10,000 tons. The Engineer has the discretion to conduct additional
verification tests at any time.

TEMPERATURE SEGREGATION
Section 401 of the Standard Specifications is hereby revised for this project as follows:
In subsection 401.16 delete the twelfth (last) paragraph and replace it with the following:
The Engineer may evaluate the HMA for low density due to temperature segregation any time
industry best practices, as detailed on Form 1346, are not being followed or the Engineer
suspects temperature segregation is occurring. The Engineer will first meet with the Contractor
to discuss the paving practices that are triggering the temperature investigation. Areas across
the mat, excluding the outside 1 foot of both edges of the mat, that are more than 25 °F cooler
than other material across the width may be marked for density testing. Material for
temperature comparison will be evaluated in 3-foot intervals behind the paver across the width
of the mat. The material shall be marked and tested in accordance with CP 58. If four or more
areas within a lot of 500 tons have densities of less than 93 percent of the material’s maximum
specific gravity for SMA mixes or less than 92 percent of the material’s maximum specific
gravity for all other HMA mixes, a 5 percent price disincentive will be applied to the 500 ton lot.
The 500 ton count begins when the Engineer starts looking for cold areas, not when the first
cold area is detected. This price disincentive will be in addition to those described in Sections
105 and 106. Only one area per delivered truck will be counted toward the number of low
density areas. Temperature segregation checks will be performed only in areas where
continuous paving is possible.
