Question: On page 5 under required services, the RFP outlines the Survey role as follows:
"Survey, (Structures Design Support Only) Note: This work must maintain a tolerance of 0.03 feet or better
o Associated MOT / Temporary Traffic Control
Is the sub-bullet, “Associated MOT / Temporary Traffic Control,” intended to clarify the need for the surveyor, who is accessing the site during preconstruction, to provide MOT plans as a part of the entry permitting process? Or is this intended to be a dedicated sub-position that prepares Temporary Traffic Control/MOT for this purpose? Would this need exist for other roles that access the site prior to construction like Geotech? Can you please clarify the intent of the sub-bullet? |
Answer: This is only a reminder to the applicant, should they elect means and methods, for completing this work, that require an NDOT encroachment permit, the associated Traffic Control / MOT that is needed will be considered part of this scope.
As a matter of clarification, all exploratory activities, requiring access to the site during the preconstruction phase, will need to be coordinated with and satisfy the associated requirements of the District 1 permitting office. These activities, including Temporary Traffic Control / MOT are considered part of this scope.
There is no requirement to designate a person who will prepare the traffic / MOT plans in support of the permitting process for the exploratory activities, however; there is a requirement to designate a “Key Person” who will prepare MOT / Temporary Traffic Control Plans for construction activities. The associated required service being - Traffic Design – Signage / Traffic Control (striping completed in-house) as shown on Page 5 of the RFP. |
