EXHIBIT 2 – CLARIFICATIONS, QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Questions & Answers
1) Is there a plastic liner in the medians? If the liner is in conflict with plantings or irrigation, will
the contractor be responsible for relocating the liner?
There is a plastic liner around and under the medians. See attached median detail
from the CDOT project plan set and attached photos taken during installation. The
City does not anticipate conflict with irrigation and/or planting. The Contractor will
be responsible for locating the liner prior to excavation and installation. The
Contractor will be responsible for notifying the City immediately if a conflict is
anticipated once the liner is located.
Attachment: Sheet 184 from CDOT Mulberry Bridge Plan Set. Detail 3 shows
location of median liner (10 MIL PLASTIC VISQUINE)
2) Will the City survey/locate the sleeve locations for the contractor?
Please see attached as-built drawings provided by the Colorado Department of
Transportation for irrigation conduits. Surveying is not anticipated as part of the
project.
Attachment: Irrigation Sleeve As-Builts (3 sheets)
3) Please clarify where the controller power location is on the plans, or how far away from the
controller it is.
Please see attached irrigation plan sheet with notations for approximate irrigation
controller location and approximate power source location.
Attachment: Mulberry St over Poudre River – Phase 2 Landscape Plan – Sheet L3
of 11 (with markups)
4) Will substitutions be allowed for the Plater Pots if another precast provider can be sourced
that can replicate the design and dimensions specified for the concrete planters in the plans
or is it mandatory to source the planters from Kornegay Designs?
The City will entertain Contractor submittals for equivalent planter pots from
different suppliers. Approval of equivalent materials will be subject to review by
the City and BHA Design. Please reference Revision of Section 622 – Planter Pots
for additional information.
5) TECS (Erosion control requirements) page 84 of the contract – In section 208 it specifies
“when included in contract” a ECS supervisor with TECS certification is required. Can I
receive clarification if a supervisor with TECS will be required for this project. If so which line
item(s) should be used to include the cost of the ECS supervisor.
An erosion control supervisor with TECS certification will not be required as part
of the project. However, it is the Contractor’s responsibility to ensure erosion
control and BMPs are installed and maintained throughout the duration of the
project in accordance with the erosion control plan as well as Local, State, and
Federal regulations.
6) Health & Safety Officer (HSO) & Monitoring Technician (MT) Page 86-100 of the contract –
Addendum 1 - 8250 Mulberry Bridge Urban Design & Landscaping Page 4 of 43
Are HSO and MT required for this project? On page 100 of the contract it specifies line items
for their cost but these line items are not included in the bid.
HSO and MT are not required as part of the project.
7) Traffic Control lane allowance cost clarification page 9 of the contract – In the contract the
wording is the following for the lane rental fee:
Subsection 104.04 shall include the following:
(a) Approved Lane Rental Fee. The Contractor shall pay a daily lane rental fee for
lane closures as defined by approved traffic control plans on East Mulberry Street
during construction.
The Contractor will be granted a lane rental allowance of fifty five (55) lane-days
for which no deduction will be made from monies due the Contractor. Lane rental
fees for all lane-days in excess of fifty five (55) will be deducted from any monies
due the Contractor for work performed.
Does this mean we have 55 days of lane closures that will have the 500 dollar lane closure
cost applied? Then if we exceed the 55 days of lane closures we will be billed the daily lane
closure fee of 500?
The Contractor will have an allowance of fifty five lane-days of approved lane
closures for this project. Approved lane rental fees will not be charged as long as
there is a positive lane-day closure allowance. Every approved lane-day closure
up and above the project allowance will result in a deduction of five hundred
dollars ($500) from payment due to the Contractor.
Pre-Bid Clarifications Resulting in Changes to the Bid Documents:
A. In order to help clarify what will be required from the Contractor in relation to the irrigation
water tap, meter, and backflow preventer, the City has provided the following details and
specifications:
a. Detail 11 – Typical Water Service
b. Detail 13 – Sprinkler System Detail
c. Detail 15 – Standard Exterior Setting for 3/4 In. and 1 In. Water Meters
d. Section 02646 – Water Service Line and Appurtenances
e. Section 02650 – Meters and Appurtenances
B. To further clarify the allowable working hours and allowable lane closure hours, Project
Special Specification Section 630 – Construction Zone Traffic Control has been revised. The
following change has been made to the specification:
In Subsection 630.15 – Special Conditions for work on Arterial and Collector Streets,
delete paragraphs 3 and 4, and replace with the following:
3. Lane closures will not be permitted at or in the vicinity of an Arterial / Arterial
intersection that has major traffic volumes between the hours of 7:00am to 8:30am or
3:30pm to 6:00pm (except in the case of an emergency). Work not impacting traffic
and outside of the roadway may be done between 7:00am and 6:00pm. Work may be
done on weekends or extended hours (outside of the 7:00am to 6:00pm window) at
Arterial / Arterial intersections with approval from the City.
Addendum 1 - 8250 Mulberry Bridge Urban Design & Landscaping Page 5 of 43
4. Construction or repair work in the vicinity of Arterial streets, outside of the influence of
an Arterial / Arterial intersection, is allowed during the hours of 7:00am to 6:00pm;
Monday through Friday excluding holidays. Lane closures will not be permitted on
Arterial streets between the hours of 7:00am to 8:30am or 3:30pm to 6:00pm (except
in the case of an emergency). The City will specify the minimum required distance
needed from the Arterial / Arterial intersection. Work may be done on weekends or
extended hours (outside of the 7:00am to 6:00pm window) with approval from the
City.
C. In order to clarify the pay item 203-00001 – Earthwork and Site Preparation, a project
special provision has been added. Pay item 212-00001 – Fine Grading has been removed
from the contract. Work covered under Fine Grading will be incidental to the Earthwork and
Site Preparation pay item.
D. At the pre-bid, it was brought up that installation of the pay item 212-00002 – Upland Seed
Mix and Crimped Straw may result in unnecessary disturbance to the surrounding
vegetation. As such, the pay item 212-00002 – Upland Seed Mix and Crimped Straw has
been changed to pay item 212-00001 – Seeding. Project Special Specification Section 212
– Seeding, Fertilizing, Soil Conditioner and Sodding has been revised as follows:
In Subsection 212.06, delete the paragraph Special Requirements and replace with the
following:
Special Requirements. Hydroseeding will not be allowed.

Finish grading, utility locates, fertilizer, herbicide and mulch application will not be
measured and paid for separately, but shall be included in the work.
Additional Revisions to Project Plan Sheets, Specifications, and Bid Tab:
A. An additional erosion control line item has been added to the bid tab:
208 Vehicle Tracking Pad 1 EA
This item will be used if the staging area will create drag out onto the roadway. Vehicle
Tracking Pad location and construction must be approved by the City prior to installation.
B. The following items have been added to address fugitive dust generated during construction
activities:
Project Special
