This is a County project but any proposed <br />changes to the project are required to be reviewed by F.D.O.T. for concurrence. The grant is of a <br />reimbursement type which means the County pays the Contractor and the State reimburses the County. <br />• Diego Velazquez (Florida Department of Transportation / F.D.O.T.) added that F.D.O.T. provides <br />oversight to the project and in addition to other items requiring concurrence by F.D.O. T. are contractual <br />changes, time extensions and weather days. However, it is still a County administered project. <br />• There is a geotechnical report "Geotechnical Engineering Services Report for Proposed Roadway <br />Improvements Along 66th Avenue, Dated April 14, 2006." available that has been included with <br />Addendum No. 1. <br />• The field office, as required in the bid documents, is for the use of the Contractorso that a representative <br />is available on site and all contract documents shall be kept in the Contractor's field office.

It will be the <br />Contractor's responsibility to coordinate with the various utility companies during construction. <br />Clearing for utility relocations (FPL posts) will be a first task on the Contractor's schedule. <br />• A reduction of the speed limit within the project limits will be considered by the County in conjunction <br />with the submittal and review of the Contractor's Maintenance of Traffic Plan. <br />• Two bypass pumps are required during construction of the box culvert. David Gunter (Indian River <br />Farms Water Control District) stated each pump is required to have a 2" discharge capability. He stated <br />further that the pumps need to be operational the entire time the canal flow is blocked. The receiving <br />waters for bypass discharge or dewatering is classified as an Outstanding Florida Water which requires <br />that the discharge be 0 (Zero) NTU's (Nephelometric Turbidity Units) against the background waters <br />and anything above that will result in the operation being shut down. <br />• No houses within the project limits will be demolished. <br />• It is expected that the Notice to Proceed will be issued during the month of March 2021. <br />• The electronic drawing/design files can be provided to prospective bidders.
