Answer

No, the Elk Creek Overflow bridge is not on a stream channel and therefore is not subject to the timing restrictions in the Contract for in-stream work at the Elk Creek bridge and Hogan Slough.

Drawing 28831 calls out ASTM D449 anchor rods for the elastomeric bearing pad assemblies. This job has a very tight timeline and A449 generally takes longer to source. Is it acceptable to provide F1554, Grade 55 or 105 in lieu of A449?
Answer
Submitted: Monday 14-JUL-2025 04:07PM
ASTM F1554 Grade 55 anchor bolts may be used in lieu of ASTM A449 anchor bolts. Use heavy hex nuts meeting the requirements of ASTM A563 Grade A.

It is unlikely we would be able to procure the specified strip seal expansion joint for bent 4 in the timeframe per the contract. Would MDT please add 8 weeks to the completion date for this season, shut off time until the joint can be fabricated and delivered or would MDT accept a different expansion joint?

Regarding the Public Involvement portion of the RFQ. Section VII.A.1. states that we are to include qualified public involvement personnel on our team. Does this requirement mean we must use a firm from the MDT term roster, or can we utilize our own qualified in-house staff?
Answer
Submitted: Thursday 10-JUL-2025 12:39 PM
Proposing Firms may, but are not required, to utilize a public involvement consultant from MDT’s term contract roster. Firms may assign the Public Relations Coordinator role to any qualified individual.
