A. The Special Provision entitled “NOTICE TO CONTRACTOR – MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT “(amended in Addendum #2) specifies how these items are to be paid.

Q. Questions regarding CSI SECTION 088755 – GRAFFITI RESISTANT GLAZING FILMS: • The spec says “all glazing shall get sacrifial 7mil graffiti film” sheet # 149 shows a glass

curtainwall going up 3 stories do you want graffiti film on all of this glass? Inside and outside?

• There is also glass that surrounds the stairwell – do you want graffiti film on this glass… inside only?

• Sheet 153 shows the skywalk …it seems that graffiti film would be well advised on interior but not exterior- please advise if you want on both sides of glass here?

• The spec also says “single layered product, 6mil thick applied to interior glass surfaces, consisting from outboard surface to inboard surface”… does this mean you want film to be applied to the interior side and exterior side of each window therefore doubling the square footage of the scope?

• Will you allow a substitute product made by 3M in a 7mil thickness…same or better performance characteristics?

A. CSI Special Provisions entitled “CSI SECTION 088755 – GRAFFITI RESISTANT GLAZING FILMS” is hereby deleted in this addendum.

Q. To construct the drilled shafts between catenaries 1016 and 1017 on the out bound side of the station the contractor will have to access private property. Has the CT DOT acquired temporary rights of way access for the construction of the drilled shafts between catenaries 1017 and 1016 on the out bound side of the station?

A. The Special Provision entitled “Notice to Contractor – Rights of Way Restrictions” is hereby revised in this Addendum. An Easement to Construct and Maintain Platform and Canopy has been acquired for the South Platform.


Q. In the initial specification item number 0204210A, Handling of Contaminated Groundwater, was to be accomplished by an on-site treatment system under an estimated cost item. Addendum #3 changed the handling procedure to on-site storage with transportation off site for disposal under a Lump Sum payment. Since the volume of water to be transported is an unknown quantity, on what basis is the bidder to establish a Lump Sum price?

A. Boring logs are provided on the plan sheets. The geotechnical reports and environmental reports are available for viewing by contacting Philip J. Melchionne at [email protected]. The contractors’ means and methods, will determine volumes of water that will need to be treated. Therefore, the Special Provision entitled “ITEM #0204213A – HANDLING CONTAMINATED GROUNDWATER” has a Lump Sum pay item.

Q. Item No. 1203109 - Side Mounted Sign Foundation has a bid quantity of 85 ea. The plans and

specifications indicate only (2) side mounted signs (#095-156-055A & #095-156-115A) requiring only 4 ea. sign foundations. Where are other 81 ea. foundations?

A. The quantity for the item entitled “Item No. 1203109 – Side Mounted Sign Foundation” is hereby revised in this addendum.

The Detailed Estimate Sheets do not reflect these changes. The Bid Proposal Form has been revised to reflect these changes. There will be no change in the number of calendar days due to this Addendum. The foregoing is hereby made a part of the contract.
