This Addendum is issued to the above referenced RFPto make the following changes, additions, deletions, and/or clarifications:
1. Clarification / Question: The asbestos survey on the first floor says tile and plywood under carpet. There is also a1/2 " of concrete material under carpet on main area on 1st floor. Does that come out also? That is the only area on the 1st floor that has carpet.Answer: The cementitious layer would have to be removed to gain access to the asbestos-containing floor tile beneath. The cementitious material is non-asbestos and requires no special handling or disposal.
2. Clarification / Question: Is there a bid bond required for this project?
Answer: No, there isn't, only Payment & Performance Bonds for the awarded Contractor.

The existing concrete needs to be removed from site as indicated in the plans.

Answer: Yes, the less desirable scrap wood could be used for hog fuel, however we expect that old growth timbers, trusses, and any larger items can be salvaged and/orpreppedfor reuse.
5. Clarification / Question: The retaining wall that is against the railroad tracks is only approx 70' This is the southern portion. Thenorthern portion doesn't come into contact with the bank and it appears that wallis wooden.

6. Clarification / Question: Does the wall support system have to be turned in with the bid?
Answer: No, however means and methods can be discussed within the answers to the questions in the RFP.

Delete the number “3” and replace it with the number 4 so it reads “Other Benefits (4 points possible)”.

All documentation required by SHPO for the trestle will have to be submitted to the County so that the County can forward to SHPO. The trestle must be removed from the site by January 31, 2012. The trestle will be stored at or near the County’s Vance Pit location, 1541 SE 190th Avenue, Portland, OR 97233.
