ADDENDUM No. 5 – May 15, 2012

PIN SABP.01, Contract D900006

The following Sections of the Instructions to Proposers and DB Contract Documents are amended as follows:

A. DB Contract Documents – Part 3 – Project Requirements

Section 4.2.3.3 Utilities

The following is added:

New luminaires, if required, shall be sodium vapor (250W).  There are two separate services (one by the Glen Sanders and one by Jump-N Jacks) therefore two separate risers shall be installed down to a panel mounted permanently in a secured cabinet near the bridge abutments.

The panel shall contain a 100 amp 120V/240V meter pan and a water-tight disconnect breaker box with at least two 20 amp breakers.  It shall then be connected into the existing conduit and new wiring shall be installed for the lights.  All the conduit and risers shall be 4” diameter and the wire shall be #2 AWG copper service cable. 

Wiring for the new lighting system from the breaker box should be new #2 AWG copper with two conductors (a black and a red) a neutral (white) and ground green or bare).  The lights should be wired so that every other light in the line is on the black conductor and the other is on the red conductor.  Each light shall have an in-line fuse located in the base and conduits shall be 4 inch diameter.

Two light standards on the approaches are required to be removed for the reconfiguration of the approaches. The standards shall be removed, stored and re-installed except for the luminaires. The existing luminaries in these standards shall be replaced with new 250W sodium vapor luminaires.

B. DB Contract Documents – Part 3 – Project Requirements

Section 4.2.3 BIN 4002590 Route 5 over Erie Canal (Western Gateway Bridge)

Required Bridge Section

The section as indicated in Addendum 4 is deleted and replaced by the following:

The required bridge section shall be 68’-6” feet fascia to fascia, 6” wider than the existing width. The bridge section (looking towards Schenectady) shall consist of a 14” width for placement of the parapet, a 10’-2” sidewalk, a 5” granite curb, a 14’-0” shared use lane, two 11-0” travel lanes, a 14’-0” shared use lane, a 5” granite curb, a 5’-2” sidewalk and a 14” width for placement of the parapet.

Recessed panels shall be used on both faces of the parapet. A photograph of a sample detail is posted on the project website for reference. Vertical pickets shall not be used. This photograph and the NCHRP barrier aesthetics report (also posted on the project website) shall be used as a guide in designing the proposed parapet.

It is brought to the attention of the Design-Builder that modifications to the fascia girder framing and the exterior bays may be necessary to accommodate the required wider section. The Design-Builder shall submit to the DQAE their proposed concept with supporting data for review prior to developing the design. Design development shall not begin until the DQAE’s comments on the concept have been addressed and responses have been accepted by the DQAE.

A revised bridge section has been posted on the project website.
