In regards to the existing bridge over Thirty Mile Creek on Main Street North in Harlem, structure #6446. The posted weight limit indicates vehicle type single unit 4-7 axles 25 ton load limit. We have been told by another state source the load limit for this bridge is 25 ton for all vehicle types. With possible gravel pit sources that will require crossing this bridge for a haul route to this project would MDT please clarify if standard legal load Tractor + Trailer vehicle type can haul over this bridge.
Answer
Submitted: Friday 28-JUN-2024 11:38 AM
Bridge ID 06446 is posted with a single silhouette sign, which is applicable to single-unit vehicles. The posting limits the maximum gross vehicle weight of single-unit vehicles with 4, 5, 6, or 7 axles to 25 tons.
It does not apply to tractor-trailer combinations (e.g. typical semi-truck). Truck + trailer combinations with power units that consist of a single-unit vehicle should not exceed single silhouette limitations.

Would MDT entertain utilizing an a-1-b or a-2-4 material for special embankment on this project? The material currently specified isn't far off from the crushed aggregate specification for the project, making it a costly product to procure. With this material being placed on the bottom fills, it seems other options that are less costly to procure could be sufficient to serve the purpose of embankment foundation treatment.
Answer

Attached is PDF File of the available project alignment and/or structures geotechnical report(s), geotechnical report supplements, and geotechnical laboratory summaries. There is remaining geotechnical information that is voluminous and very difficult to compile in a concise manner. Contractors are welcome to come to MDT Headquarters to inspect rock samples taken for the project that are stored here or to look through the complete set of Geotechnical field investigation notes, laboratory testing, analytical, or other data in our project files. It should be noted that the project may have undergone significant changes during the design process after the original geotechnical report and supplements were issued. Thus, some of the information contained in these documents may be out of date or not applicable with regard to the advertised project. Some of the changes include but are not limited to: Project splits (for funding, ROW issues, etc.) alignment and grade changes; and changes due to environmental factors (sensitive areas, etc.).

Will you consider either a single cell 20 x 10 four sided box culvert or a longer span three sided box culvert?
Answer
Submitted: Wednesday 26-JUN-2024 03:31 PM
The Department has considered and ruled out a single cell 20 x 10 four-sided box culvert or a longer span three-sided box culvert.
UPDATE: 01-JUL-2024 07:50 AM
Two single cell box culverts may be substituted for a double cell. Set the single cell culverts side by side with a uniform gap 1” to 4” wide between the adjacent exterior walls, and completely fill the gap with non – excavatable CLSM. Install joint wrap per the special provisions on the first box placed. For the second box, joint wrap may be omitted on the wall adjacent to the first box. Include the cost of CLSM and other items needed to substitute single cell box culverts for double cell in the RCB unit price. Two single cell box culverts are measured for length as one double cell.
UPDATED: 01-JUL-2024 10:35 AM
If the option of two single cell 10’x10’ boxes is chosen, the quantities shown in the STOCKPASS summary frame and Bc on Sheet 8 will be updated during construction.

SP 24 states that this is a category 1 project for ride specification and SP 25 says that Subsection 401.03.23 does apply for corrective action. The mainline paving is only 190 LF on each side of the interstate (northbound and southbound). 401.03.23 states “IRI data will not be evaluated for the following: 7. Pavement within 50 feet of the terminal paving points of the project.” – that leaves 90 LF to be evaluated for IRI.

On the Lewistown portion of this project at areas numbered 12 & 13 of the scoping map, there is an existing vault under at least a portion if not all, the mid-block sidewalk to be replaced. This vault is not reference on any of the scoping maps, RFP, or RFQ. It is a fairly significant sized vault that has concrete beams that tie the building and foundation wall outside of the sidewalk together. These beams are also incorporated into the sidewalk.
1. Is this work to be incorporated into the pricing and design of the proposal or will it be paid as force account?
2. In our research the building-owner has also indicated that they would like the vault area to remain in place and not be filled in. They would like the glass brick to be completed to let the natural light in as many of the old vaults used to have. Can the department please advise if the vault must be filled in or if it is to be designed to keep the area under the new sidewalk open? The costs and approach may be very different depending on the direction we receive.
Answer
Submitted: Thursday 27-JUN-2024 02:48 PM
The vault at 101 W Main Street, Lewistown is to be filled and covered with this project. MDT is currently working through an Edoc re-evaluation to include work at this location. Narrative for the remediation plan should be included in the Technical Proposal in the Project Understanding and Approach section. One additional 8.5x11” sheet may be included in section V.B.3, bringing the Project Understanding and Approach total to 15 pages. Firms may also include this as the third, discretional option in the sub-section Design Concepts if they choose. The allowable 11x17” sheet count will not change. Design and construction of this work shall also be included in Bid Price Proposals.

In Billings, is splicing acceptable within the pull boxes? MDT typically does not allow splicing, as the traffic signal cable needs to run continuously from the controller to the terminal block in the respective appurtenance. The push-button cabling currently exists but could be spliced to fire the new pushbuttons. Our experience within Billings at intersections with rigid conduit is that it has collapsed due to corrosion. Pulling new conductors from the controller to each corner will likely require boring new conduit, thus significantly increasing the price of the project.

The RFQ mentions project specific insurance. Would MDT please clarify the intent for project specific insurance and which insurance requirements need to be met by the contractor vs the design consultant?
Answer
Submitted: Thursday 11-APR-2023 07:36
No proof of project specific insurance is required as part of the SOQ. If MDT and the Firm determine that project specific insurance will provide value to the project, the coverage amounts, and costs will be determined as part of Preconstruction Services and the cost of project specific insurance will be paid by MDT. See below for edits to Section 3.2.2 of the RFQ. The Proposer may meet requirements for evidence of insurability through subcontractors as determined appropriate by the Proposer.
3.2.2 Insurance Requirements
The SOQ shall include evidence of insurability. This may be satisfied by providing either a certificate of insurance evidencing current policies, or written evidence from an insurance company or broker indicating that the Proposer can obtain the following types of insurance: Commercial General Liability, Auto Liability, and Workers’ Compensation / Employer’s Liability.
The Proposer shall also provide evidence in the SOQ of their ability to obtain Professional Liability Insurance covering errors and omissions in the amount of $1,000,000.00. Evidence will be in the form of a letter from an insurer, or a Montana Resident Agent for an insurer, indicating ability to provide such insurance. The insurer must be licensed to do business in the State of Montana.

Would MDT provide clarification on the purpose of having the Traffic Control Manager as a Key Person?
Answer
Submitted: Thursday 11-APR-2024 07:40 AM
It is vital to schedule construction and provide work zone traffic control that will provide protection, safety, convenience, and mobility of the travelling public, as well as the protection and safety of construction personnel. The Traffic Control Manager will be a Key Personnel ensuring that traffic management is addressed throughout the design and construction of the project. The Traffic Control Manager does not need to be exclusive to the Firm.

Within the Key Personnel Table there is a requirement for the Environmental Manager to be directly reporting to both the project PM and MDT. Would MDT please clarify the intent with this requirement?
Answer
Submitted: Thursday 11-APR-2024 07:40
Addendum: the Environmental Manager will report to the Firm’s PM. Due to the nature of this project delivery, significant collaboration is anticipated between MDT and the Firm to complete the environmental documentation processes. It is expected that the Environmental Manager will be responsible for coordinating directly with the appropriate MDT staff and the Firm’s PM throughout the duration of the project to effectively facilitate the NEPA/MEPA environmental compliance and permitting processes.

Concerning section 3.2.2 Construction Phase Approach, Question number 2 of the RFP, we are requesting clarification from MDT on what ‘phasing’ you are specifically looking for? For example, are you referring to site specific construction approach with regards to structures, detours and traffic management? Or, are you referring to overall global approach to how we manage all the sites during the project (design/scheduling/sequencing).
