Addendum No. 1
Subject: Bid Questions for Paving & Stormwater Management Project SDP Contract No. B-086C of 2016/17- General Construction
Location: Hill-Freedman World Academy at Leeds Campus
_________________________________________________________________________________________ This Addendum, dated May 3, 2018 shall modify and become part of the Contract Documents for the work of this project. Any items not mentioned herein, or affected by, shall be performed strictly in accordance with the original documents.
1. Question: What is the start date of the project? We are given completion dates but no overall duration or start date. Can we be given a duration in calendar days from Notice to Proceed?
Response: it is anticipated that an award resolution will be submitted to the SRC for approval at its presently scheduled June 21, 2018 meeting. A Notice of Award should be issued to the selected contractor the day after the SRC Meeting.
The Contractor must sign the contract and submit insurance and bonds and any other required paperwork within five (5) days. Once the required documentation is provided, a Notice to Proceed can be issued.
Notice to Proceed is anticipated to be effective on or about July 1, 2018.
Completion is required by specific dates, so the contractor will have whatever number of days are available between the Notice to Proceed and the designated completion dates
2. Question: Is there a geotechnical report with boring information? If yes can we please have that information.
Response: The Infiltration Testing Report with geotechnical lab testing results is attached for the Contractor’s information only. This information was used for design purposes only and may not be representative of site soils for the entire site or their present condition. Any interpretation of this information by the bidder is at its own risk.
3. Question: Has the material been tested in accordance with the PADEP Clean Fill Standards?
Response: A “Soil Quality Testing – Stormwater Management Report” by Keating Environmental Management has been provided as an attachment to the Contract
Addendum No. 1 (cont’d)

Documents. However, the Contractor is still responsible for soil testing for the determination of clean fill for all soil exported from the Site and soil imported to the Site. Refer to the Soils Management Plan (Part 3) requirements of the Environmental Coordination Section 01 1100 of the Bid Documents. Also see the Clean Fill notes on Drawing C-301.
4. Question: Can the material be managed as Clean Fill in accordance with the PADEP Clean Fill Standards?
Response: Material can be managed as clean fill if the Contractor’s soil testing reveals that the material is clean fill in accordance with the PADEP Clean Fill Standards.
5. Question: What permits will the contractor be responsible for?
Response: Refer to the General Conditions Section GC-4.7 entitled Permits, Fees, and Notices.
6. Question: Will the contractor be paid for additional disposal costs if the material is not Clean Fill?
Response: The contractor will be paid for additional disposal costs, if any, if the material cannot be disposed of as clean fill. Refer to the General Specifications (Division 1) Section 01 1100 Environmental Coordination, Part 3 Soil Management.
7. Question: The M/WBE goals are particularly high for a project with a limited number of tasks. The scope of work is very similar to the Lankenau Project bid recently where ranges were changed to 15-20% combined M/WBE in Addendum 1. Would you consider making 15-20% combined the range for this project as well?
Response: The MBE/WBE participation Goals are modified to a Combined MBE/WBE Combined Goal of 15-20%
8. Question: The following paragraph was in the Rowen School bid documents but does not appear in the Hill-Freedman documents:
Section 01 1100, 3.1, H. Disposal of contaminated soil that does not meet the criteria to be Certified as PADEP Clean Fill, will be at the Owner's expense and at the Contractors stated the per cubic yard Unit Price. The Unit Price shall reflect the transportation and disposal of up to 100 CY of non-hazardous soil as defined within the Resource Conservation Recovery Act, Title 40 of the CFR parts 239 through 259. Transportation and disposal of material contaminated due to a release caused by the Contractor will be at the Contractor's expense.
Can you confirm that any soil that tests as contaminated will be paid per cubic yard for disposal? Although the specs include some analytical data on the soil, we have no way of knowing what the results our soil sampling will be.
Response: The testing results within the Soil Quality Testing report conducted on May 19, 2017 by Keating Environmental Management, Inc. included in the Bidding and Contract Documents documents, indicate that the material tested at Hill-Freedman satisfies the PADEP Clean Fill Concentration Limits.
Therefore, for bid purposes, bidders may assume that excess fill to be disposed
offsite satisfies the DEP Clean fill Criteria.
Addendum No. 1 (cont’d)

If, at the time of testing during construction (to be performed by the Contractor at its expense), the results indicate that the material does not satisfy PADEP Clean Fill Concentration limits, the additional costs, if any for offsite disposal of contaminated soil will be addressed according to the Changes Clause of the General Conditions, GC-12

Attachment D – Soil Fertility Test Results
Limestone: 50 lb/1000 square feet
Phosphate (P2O5): NONE
Potash (K2O): 5 lb/1000 square feet
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR: Park Area-To Plant
Prior to planting, incorporate the following into the top 4 to 6 inches of soil.
Apply a starter fertilizer just prior to seeding and work lightly into the soil
Apply a starter fertilizer at approximate rate of 1 lb of nitrogen per 1000 square feet, 0.5 to 1.0 lb of P2O5 per 1000 square feet, and0.5 to 1.0 lb of K2O per 1000 square feet using a fertilizer with approximate 1:1:1 or 2:1:1 ratio of N:P2O5:K2O.
The above recommendations are for a new establishment that will be tilled 4 to 6 inches in depth prior to planting. In some cases,turfgrass seed is planted into soils that have not been tilled. In such cases, incorporating large amounts of lime, fertilizer, andorganic matter into soil 4 to 6 inches in depth is not possible. When planting into soils that have not been tilled, do not exceed 100lb lime/1000 square feet; 5 lb P2O5/1000 square feet; or 2.0 lb K2O/1000 square feet. Do not apply organic matter unless a coreaerator is used to incorporate into the soil surface. If attempting to incorporate organic matter with a core aerator, apply 1/4 to 1/2inch of organic matter to the turf/soil surface and make 8 to 10 passes with the aerator.

1. Apply full lime recommendation and thoroughly mix into the soil four to six inches deep. Use ahigh quality agricultural ground limestone product to meet the lime recommendation on this report.Manufacturers of agricultural ground limestone products provide a number called the calciumcarbonate equivalent, or CCE, on the label. CCEs with high numerical values (close to 100 or above)indicate a pure lime source (greater ability to neutralize soil acidity). The amount of limerecommended on this report is based on an agricultural ground limestone with a CCE of 100. If yourlime source is close to or equal to 100, you don't need to adjust the recommended amount. In theevent that you use a lime source with a CCE well below or above 100, use the following formula toadjust the required amount.
Actual liming material required= (Soil test recommendation in lbs of lime/1000 square feet) x 100 CCE of liming material
Example Only:Soil Test Recommendation: Apply 75 lbs lime/1000 square feetCCE on label: 80 percentActual liming material required = (75 lbs of lime) x 100
80= 94 lb liming material/1000 square feet
2. If organic matter test was requested and organic matter is recommended, throughly mix organic matterinto a four to six inch soil depth. Sphagnum peat and peat humus typically contain high amounts oforganic matter (> 80 %) and will usually meet organic matter requirements when incorporated at therate recommended on the soil test report. With the exception of putting greens and tees, a goodquality compost can also be used as an organic amendment; however, most composts contain loweramounts of organic matter than peats. Therefore, you may need to add greater amounts of compost tomeet soil test organic matter recommendations. For more information on using composts as organicamendments in new turf plantings, refer to the publication, "Using Composts to Improve TurfPerformance". This publication is available from Penn State Cooperative Extension offices or thePublication Distribution Center, The Pennsylvania State University, 112 Agricultural AdministrationBldg., University Park, PA 16802.
3. Thoroughly mix phosphate and/or potash into a four to six inch soil depth..4. Grade and finish rake for seeding. Apply starter fertilizer just prior to seeding.
5. Fertilizers that can be used to meet recommendations for phosphate (P2O5) include ordinarysuperphosphate (0-20-0) or triple (treble) super phosphate (0-46-0). Fertilizers that can be used tomeet recommendations for potash (K2O) include muriate of potash (0-0-60) or sulfate of potash (0-0-50).
