Is there a plan holder's list available? (similar question from 3 vendors) ·The plan holder’s list has been published under the Messages/Public Notices tab of the Project’s site in Bonfire and can be downloaded from there. 2. Section 43 23 41 End Suction Pumps - Item 2.2.D.12 and 13. Please confirm Pump and Motor operating speed. ·The pumps specified in Section 43 23 41_End Suction Pumps are constant speed and their design and motor operating speeds are 1,800 rpm. See Specification addendum item above with the necessary correction. 3. SVI Pump Suction Line Material - Sheets MB-1, MB-3 call for the SVI pump suction Raw Water lines to be carbon steel. Pipe schedule on sheet G-10 call for the suction lines to be ductile iron. Please clarify if the lines are to be carbon steel or ductile iron. ·The SVI pump suction lines are meant to be carbon steel, not ductile iron. See Drawing addendum item above with the necessary correction. 4. PLC and HMI Programming - Please clarify the requirement of HSQ to be sole sourced for programming as stated in 00 41 00 3 d. Specification 40 61 00 1.01 C states that Owner is in the process of transitioning from HSQ Miser to Ignition and that PCSI/AESS is responsible for programming work. ·The referenced requirement for sole-sourcing HSQ is incorrect. As indicated in Article 1.06.F of Specification Section 40 61 00, both Prime Controls LP and Red Group are ADDENDUM NO. 3 ADDENDUM NO. 3 listed as acceptable PCSS/AESS. See Specification addendum item above with the necessary correction. 5. Pressure Gauges - Pressure gauge ranges were not located in the specifications. Please provide the required ranges. ·An Instrumentation List is not provided for this Project. See Specification addendum item above with the necessary correction and pressure gauge range. 6. Piping System Materials - Piping System Materials on sheet G-10 have differences from the specifications. One example is LPA that is noted to be 316 schedule 10 pipe on the Piping System Materials and is noted to be 316 schedule 40 for sizes 8’ and smaller and schedule 10 for sizes 10” and larger. Please clarify if the Piping System Materials or specifications should be followed. ·See Drawing addenda items above for corrections to the originally shown pipe materials for the discrepancies pointed out in these questions and other discrepancies discovered as of the time Addendum No. 2 was issued. In general, for all discrepancies, note that per Article SC-3.03B.2 of the Supplementary Conditions, Plans govern over Specifications and Specifications shall govern over standard details. 7. Prebid meeting - Will you be posting the Prebid meeting recorded video? ·No, the Pre-bid meeting recorded video will not be provided. 8. Temporary Chemical Feed Sheet ME-7 - Per notes on Sheet ME-7, the Tempory Chemical Feed for CS & SHC System shall be installed and operating before demo work on the existing systems. The dates are 11-1-2025 thru 3-31-2026. Addendum #1 states the NTP is anticipated to be issued between December 2025 and January 2026. The dates are not correct as the system will not be submitted and approved and delivered before March 2026. No equipment except possible leveling of weirs could be performs in the first shutdown period. The days to complete this project should include shutdown periods between Nov. 2026 thru March 2027. I believe a second second shutdown period Nov 2027 and March 2028.will be required to complete all work in this contract per restrictions. This would require extra 425 calendar days. Please advise. ·The times for the Work to be substantially complete and to be complete for Final Acceptance have been increased to 520 days and 560 days, respectively. This will include enough time for a shutdown between November 1, 2026 and March 31, 2027 and at least two months after the above period for any remaining startup and commissioning activities. See Specification addendum items above with the necessary corrections. Due to growing demands in the Westside WTP service area, the additional capacity provided by this Project is needed before the summer of 2027 and a second shutdown period in the fall 2027 / winter 2028 is not in line with this need. Further, in the opinion of the Engineer, 18 months of construction should be sufficient for completion of the relatively limited scope of this Project, which includes mostly equipment and piping. Note that all preparatory work that can be done before a shutdown is required should be planned for completion between the Project’s notice to proceed and October 31, 2026, including securing approved submittals, delivery and setup of the temporary chemical tanks, and installation of temporary piping. 9. Chemical Feed Temporary System - Sheet ME-7 - Temporary Chemical Feed - Please clarify who is responsible to operate the Temporary System and supply the chemical needed during the shutdown period? ADDENDUM NO. 3 ADDENDUM NO. 3 ·As indicated on the Drawings and Specifications, the Contractor is responsible for providing and maintaining in adequate functioning condition the Temporary Chemical Feed Systems. The Owner will use and operate these systems and supply the chemicals. The Contract Documents do not require operation or chemical refills by the Contractor. 10. Flange Hardware Materials - Piping System Materials on sheet G-10 have differences from the specifications. One example is for hardware for ductile iron systems noted to be 316 stainless steel on sheet G-10 and specification 400519 calls out for carbon steel. Another example is hardware for chemical systems SHC/CS/CSR noted to be Titanium on sheet G-10 and specification 400531 calls out for 316 stainless steel. Please clarify if the Piping System Materials or specifications should be followed. ·In relation to the hardware for Ductile Iron (DI) pipe for use with RAW WATER-SVI PUMP SUCTION service, note that use of DI pipe has been changed to carbon steel by one the Specification addendum items listed above. Per Section 40 05 24_Steel Process Pipe, all flange hardware shall be Type 316 SS, as specified on the Pipe Schedule in Sheet G-10 for AWWA C200 STL (carbon steel) pipe. ·In relation the hardware for chemical systems SHC/CS/CSR, see the Drawing addendum item listed above. ·In general, for all discrepancies, note that per Article SC-3.03B.2 of the Supplementary Conditions, Plans govern over Specifications and Specifications shall govern over standard details. 11. Coating - We’ve never provided a Tnemec Series 61 on top of aluminum before on the aluminum Crossover Stair (ME-2, ME-3, ME-4, SE-1, SE-2). See specs 055000-12. Can you please confirm this is the correct coating. ·During design, this application was consulted with Tnemec and they confirmed that Series 61 may be used on any metal substrate within chemical containment areas for protection against the chemical compounds. Provide as specified. 12. Bid Date – Extension – Is it possible to push out the bid date? ·The bid date has been postponed by Addendum No. 2. Bids shall be submitted electronically by 2:00 P.M. CST, Thursday, October 2, 2025. 13. Spec 400565.33/Part 2/Section 2.1 Rubber Flapper Check Valves - Can Pratt be named as an alternate as we adhere to the specifications? ·Requests for Substitutions are not accepted during the bid phase. Per Section 01 25 00_Subtitution Procedures, any requests for substitutions will be considered within 30 days after award of the construction Contract. 14. Medium Volage Gear - The additional medium voltage gear shown on this project appears to have a 90 week lead time. We would request an extension of the completion date in order to get this work done. ·The times for completion of the Work have been extended by 130 days as indicated on the Specification addenda items listed above. Per conversations with electrical gear vendors, it is the Engineer’s understanding that the lead time for the type of MV motor starters included in this project is 50 - 60 weeks. All other terms and conditions remain unchanged. ADDENDUM NO.3 P, -) /- '- " "."'Y-49/23/7025 TONY SHOLOLA, P.E.
