ADDENDUM NO. 4
ITB 2026-04 QUESTIONS AND RESPONSES
Q.1 Can the laydown and storage areas be provided? Given the tight space confinements, we
would be interested in taking over portions of the Western parking lot, in addition to staging
materials on the east side closest to the pier access. Would this be feasible considering the
public parking and boat ramp use?
A.1 The public access east of the boat ramp canal can be gated off for use by the contractor. The
contractor will be responsible for any gates, fencing and locks associated with this effort.
Q.2 Would the boat ramp be open to the public during our construction window? The cove
would be needed for marine/barge/tug mooring.
A.2 We do not anticipate closing access to the ramp during construction.
Q.3 Can the County detail the expectations of the limits of salvage/reuse of the previously re-
built portions of the timber pier? During the pre bid meeting, it was stated that the existing
timber piles could be re-used. We request the re-use of these materials be documented and
the process of determining what piles may need to be replaced. Is the expectation to remove
and replace the 4x16 cap beams, or can portions of these be reused if acceptable condition?
A.3 The expectation is that the only portions of the previously completed work that may need
to be removed and replaced would be some of the 2x12 joists to which the ThruFlow decking
will be attached. Over time, some of these have warped and may not align with the anchor
points in the decking. The contractor, along with the CEI team will make a field determination
of the extent of the replacement that is needed.
Q.4 Can the County acknowledge that the existing timber boardwalk shown to remain, does
in fact need some work to be accepted, to include the angled portions such as location B,
location C, and Location D (Sheet S-1).
A.4 As stated in the mandatory pre-bid meeting, there are clearly areas that within the area of
the previous work that need to be completed. The successful bidder will be compensated based
on the bid unit price for the work that they complete.
Q.5 Addendum 2 indicates existing materials available for reuse. Is the contractor at risk for
using these materials if during the contract it is determined that they quantity shown is not
actually the quantity that is re-usable?

ADDENDUM NO. 4
A.5 The materials are available for inspection by all perspective bidders. It is recommended that
the materials be evaluated to determine acceptability for use. The unit price provided in the
bid should reflect the contractor’s intent to use or not use the provided material. (i.e. if the
submitted bid is based on using the existing materials, but the contractor later decides not to
use said materials, a price increase will not be granted)
