Remove and replace sidewalks identified on the enclosed map and following tables by address. These addresses, with minor exceptions, are to be replaced to remove tripping hazards on public sidewalks caused by tree roots. The Contractor is to sawcut (if necessary) and remove the existing sidewalks that will be marked by the City Engineer prior to construction and any roots to a depth of 8-inches below a string-line between the surface of adjoining slabs that are to remain. Disturbed soil shall be compacted and sand backfill added and compacted, as necessary, to bring the underlying soil to a depth of 4-inches below the string-line described above. New sidewalk shall be formed, poured and finished according to these specifications. Adjacent soils shall be backfilled to subgrade level with removed materials and topsoil removed shall be placed in the gap and grass seed scattered appropriately so that new grass matches the appearance of existing grass. Repairs and replacement of the sidewalks is generally the responsibility of the property owner. However, if damage to the walks was caused by City activity or trees between the sidewalk and edge of road, the City is responsible. This Contract is for the replacement of City-responsible portions of the walk, so the basis for the BID are the quantities for the addresses listed on page 6. The City intends to offer property owners the opportunity to add their Work to this Contract if they choose to enter into an Agreement with the City by June 15, 2023. The Contractor can expect a Change Order to be issued for the quantities of Work based on those Agreements. The Change Order may include an extension of time for the additional Work. The addresses that could be associated with a potential Change Order are listed on pages 7 - 9. Photos of the Contract Sidewalks by address are included as pages 28 - 31. ADDITIVE ALTERNATE – VETERANS PARK PAVILION: This is similar work as above, but will take place under an open pavilion roof. It will be paid for with other funds and cannot begin until after July 1, 2023. BIDDER'S INVESTIGATION: Prior to submission of the bid, all bidders shall make, and shall be deemed to have made a careful examination of the site (shown on the enclosed maps), the Scope of Work, the specifications included herewith, and shall have become informed as to the location and nature of the proposed work, general existing conditions, and all other matters that may affect the cost and the time of completion of the contract. WORKMANSHIP / GUARANTEE: All construction shall be completed in a first-class workmanlike manner. The City may perform full-time inspection of the site, and the contractor will guarantee all materials and workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the date of substantial completion. The contractor shall request a completion certificate when all concrete work is completed. The warranty period shall begin on the date of the certificate of substantial completion. 6 SCOPE OF WORK BY ADDRESS: The following addresses are included in the BID quantities and form the basis for the CONTRACT: H o u s e N u m b e r D ir e c ti o n Street Frontage Street O ff s e t W id th L e n g th A re a Remove Sidewalk Area Root Remove dia Sidewalk, 4 inch 319 S Hillcrest 4 4 10 40 40 15 40 319 S Hillcrest 4 4 10 40 40 15 40 822 W Orange 2.5 4 17 68 68 36 68 100 N Olsen W Grove 2.25 4 15 60 60 12 60 207 N Bower 2 4 4 16 16 12 16 216 S Bower 2 4 4 16 16 24 16 219 W Cass Barry 2 4 19 76 76 18 76 900 W Cass Luray 2 4 10 40 40 15 40 712 W Cass 2 4 4 16 16 15 16 400 W Grove 2 4 7.8 31.2 31 12 31 1002 W Grove 2 4.5 6 27 27 15 27 1008 W Grove 2 4 10 40 40 15 40 301 S Barry 1.75 4.5 12 54 54 36 54 301 S Barry 1.75 4.5 12 54 54 36 54 103 N Bower 1.75 4 8 32 32 15 32 207 N Bower 1.75 4 4 16 16 16 609 W Cass 1.75 4 14.5 58 58 8 58 402 W Grove 1.75 4 12 48 48 20 48 604 W Grove 1.75 4 8 32 32 18 32 1002 W Grove 1.75 4 5 20 20 15 20 1002 W Grove 1.75 4 5 20 20 15 20 425 W Montcalm 1.75 4 6 24 24 18 24 621 W Montcalm 1.75 4 15 60 60 15 60 CONTRACT TOTALS 888 400 888 7 POTENTIAL CHANGE ORDER ADDRESSES The following addresses are not included in the BID quantities and form the basis for a potential CHANGE ORDER: S e c ti o n H o u s e N u m b e r D ir e c ti o n Street O ff s e t W id th L e n g th A re a Remove Sidewalk Area Root Remove dia Sidewalk, 4 inch Sidewalk, 6 inch 8 205 S Greenville West Dr1.75 4 4 16 16 16 9 520 N Barnard 4 40 160 160 160 9 215 S Barry 1.5 4 4 16 16 20 16 9 301 S Barry 1.5 4.5 11.7 52.65 53 30 53 9 1206 W Blackburn 2.5 4 4 16 16 2 16 9 1218 W Blackburn 1.5 4 8 32 32 32 9 105 N Bower 4 5 20 20 20 20 9 105 S Bower 2 4 8 32 32 20 32 9 123 S Bower 4 16 64 64 64 9 123 S Bower 4 4 16 16 16 9 319 W Cass 4.5 4 18 18 18 9 524 W Cass 1.75 4 12 48 48 48 9 704 W Cass 4 8 32 32 15 32 9 821 W Cass 5 4 9.5 38 38 38 9 218 W Charles 1.5 4 24 96 96 96 9 117 S Cross 2 4 12 48 48 48 9 200 W Grove 4.5 4 18 18 18 9 604 W Grove 4 5 20 20 20 9 1009 W Grove 2 4 9 36 36 20 36 9 1030 W Grove 2.25 4 10 40 40 24 40 9 615 N Lafayette 2 4 10 40 40 20 40 9 301 W Montcalm 2.5 4 6.4 25.6 26 15 26 9 322 N Irving 4 3 6 18 18 18 9 322 N Irving 4 3 10 30 30 30 9 614 W Montcalm 4 12 48 48 0 48 9 614 W Montcalm 4 10 40 40 0 40 9 805 W Montcalm 4 5 20 20 30 20 9 805 W Montcalm 4 4 16 16 0 16 8 POTENTIAL CHANGE ORDER ADDRESSES (Continued) S e c ti o n H o u s e N u m b e r D ir e c ti o n Street O ff s e t W id th L e n g th A re a Remove Sidewalk Area Root Remove dia Sidewalk, 4 inch Sidewalk, 6 inch 9 1010 W Montcalm 1.75 4 5 20 20 20 20 9 1010 W Montcalm 1.75 4 4 16 16 20 16 9 1112 W Montcalm 1.5 4 5 20 20 20 9 100 N Olsen 2.25 4 10 40 40 12 40 9 503 W Orange 1.5 4 8.5 34 34 24 34 10 200 E Cass 1.5 5 5 25 25 25 10 115 E Coffren 2.25 4 16 64 64 30 64 10 202 E Coffren 2 4 9 36 36 20 36 10 202 E Coffren 4 4 16 16 16 10 208 E Coffren 1.5 4 4 16 16 10 16 10 1010 N Lafayette 1.75 5 6 30 30 30 10 1010 N Lafayette 1.5 5 5.5 27.5 28 28 10 400 E Montcalm 2 4 12 48 48 18 48 10 408 E State 4 12 48 48 48 10 418 E State 4 4 10 40 40 18 40 10 306 N Webster 4 20 80 80 64 16 10 121 S Webster 1.5 4 16 64 64 64 10 309 S Webster 3 4 16 64 64 15 64 10 309 S Webster 2.5 4 12 48 48 15 48 10 309 S Webster 2.5 4 16 64 64 15 64 10 309 S Webster 2 4 8 32 32 15 32 10 309 S Webster 4 12 48 48 48 15 219 E Benton 2 4 23 92 92 92 15 811 E Brierwood 2 4 25 100 100 36 100 15 811 E Brierwood 1.5 4 20 80 80 36 80 15 906 E Brierwood 1.5 4 5 20 20 20 15 418 S Cedar 4 5 20 20 20 15 418 S Cedar 4 4.7 18.8 19 19 15 922 S Cedar 4 8 32 32 32 15 606 E Fairplains 1.5 4 13 52 52 15 52 9 POTENTIAL CHANGE ORDER ADDRESSES (Continued) S e c ti o n H o u s e N u m b e r D ir e c ti o n Street O ff s e t W id th L e n g th A re a Remove Sidewalk Area Root Remove dia Sidewalk, 4 inch Sidewalk, 6 inch 15 700 E Fairplains 1.5 4 10 40 40 24 40 15 908 E Judd 4 7 28 28 28 15 910 E Judd 4 13.6 54.4 54 54 15 918 E Judd 4 5 20 20 20 15 918 E Judd 4 13 52 52 52 16 726 S Baldwin 1.5 4 8.3 33.2 33 20 33 16 116 W High 1.5 4 8 32 32 18 32 16 209 W High 4 16 64 64 64 16 209 W High 4 4 16 16 16 16 209 W High 4 4 16 16 16 16 215 W High 4 12 48 48 48 16 817 S Lafayette 4 8.5 34 34 34 16 401 S Luray 1.5 4 15 60 60 18 60 16 401 S Luray 1.5 4 15 60 60 18 60 16 908 S Marvel 1.5 4 10 40 40 18 40 16 806 W Merry Lane 1.75 4 16 64 64 30 64 16 808 W Merry Lane 4 4 16 16 18 16 16 808 W Merry Lane 4 4 16 16 16 16 808 W Merry Lane 4 8 32 32 32 16 812 W Oak 1.5 4 12.3 49.2 49 24 49 16 818 W Oak 1.5 4 20 80 80 24 80 16 823 W Washington 4 5.5 22 22 22 Owner Responsibility Totals 3,228 747 3,228 168 10 2023 Greenville Sidewalk Replacement Program Instructions to Bidders Bid Opening: April 11, 2023 SUPERVISION: The contractor shall have a thoroughly competent supervisor in charge of the work at all times during construction.

Removals Existing Sidewalk: Concrete removal shall be conducted in a way to minimize damage to adjacent sidewalk, curb, trees, pavement etc. This should include sawcutting where necessary. The Contractor shall notify the Engineer prior to doing any work if there is pre-existing damage to adjacent surfaces, otherwise the Contractor will be responsible for replacing damaged sections at his own expense. Damaged sections are to be replaced in their entirety. Tree Roots: City-owned sidewalks that are to be replaced under this Project are almost all going to involve root removal. Roots shall be chipped, removed or ground from the vertical face of the tree to 6-inches beyond the edge of the sidewalk. Portions of the trunk may also need to be chipped or ground if it slopes away from the vertical face. The method of removal is up to the Contractor, but roots must be removed to a minimum of 2-inches below the bottom of the proposed walk. Wood material must be removed from the site. Subgrade Preparation The Contractor will be responsible for preparation of the subgrade. Existing subgrade material, but not topsoil, can be used as backfill. If additional material is needed it shall be sand. The Contractor shall compact the subgrade to 95% of maximum unit density of the in-place soil, prior to pouring of the concrete. Any additional subgrade material needed shall be included in the unit price for the work. The City may elect to periodically test compaction. The Contractor shall make corrections as necessary without additional compensation. The Contractor will be billed for any failing tests and provide any additional compactive effort needed to achieve appropriate density. Ground temperatures shall not be below 40° prior to pouring. Forms Forms for the work shall be of lumber, 11⁄2-inches thick or of steel of equal strength. They shall be clean and free from old concrete from previous pours. Forms shall be rigidly held to line by stakes or braces. All division plates shall be removed before the pouring of concrete. Thickness and Proportions The sidewalks shall be 4-inches thick throughout the Project, unless the section is in a driveway. Driveway sections need to be 6-inches thick. The concrete mix shall be at least 6 sacks of air entrained cement and shall be proportioned to achieve a minimum strength of 3,500 pounds per square inch with a 28 day curing time. It shall be mixed using limestone aggregates and have no added chloride. 24 Testing The City of Greenville reserves the right to test the subgrade density and concrete for air entrainment, slump, temperature and strength. The City of Greenville will bear the costs of such testing, except the contractor will pay for failing tests and corrective measures. Placing and Finishing Concrete for sidewalks shall be placed immediately after mixing. It shall be tamped and struck off with a template and shall be floated with a wood float until the surface has a true contour. Care shall be taken not to bring to the surface an excess of water and fine sand by over-finishing. The final finish shall consist of brushing with a calcimine brush. Air temperatures shall not be below 40° during the pouring, finishing and initial set of the concrete. Expansion Joints Expansion joints are likely not necessary for most of these repairs. If any pour exceeds 40 feet in length, a 1⁄2-inch expansion joint of pre-molded strips of bitumen-treated fiber or mineral aggregate shall be installed across the walk. Jointing and Edging Joints shall be cut to form squares according to the width of the sidewalk. Both edges of walk shall be edged. The edges and joints for sidewalks shall be rounded to a 1/4-inch radius. Curing After initial set of the concrete and within 24 hours, all new exposed concrete surfaces shall be sprayed with white membrane curing compound. Extreme care shall be taken to avoid overspray onto adjacent surfaces. The Contractor shall be responsible for cleanup of any oversprayed membrane material. Blankets shall be provided for the first 24 hours if temperatures fall below freezing within that time frame. Form Removal and Clean-up After the forms have been removed and cleaned, the contractor shall load, haul and place City compost material from the 1150 Owen Mumaw Drive compost area to a depth of 4 inches along each edge of the sidewalk. The Contractor will not be charged for the compost material and all associated costs shall be included in the price for the finished walk. All adjacent areas that were disturbed by the Contractors operation shall be raked free of debris such as stones, sticks, roots, uprooted plant materials etc. The Contractor shall place a suitable mix of seed, fertilizer and mulch and initial water over all disturbed areas. The cost of the restoration shall be incidental to the work and included in the bid price. Protection of the Work The Contractor shall be responsible to protect the work to the degree necessary to prevent damage by the public either unintentionally or intentionally. The Contractor should plan his work in such a way that he can watch newly poured concrete until the point that the surface is sufficiently hard to prevent damage by those intending to mar new concrete. Any work found 25 with marred surfaces shall be immediately repaired if possible; otherwise the marred sections of walk shall be removed and replaced at the Contractor’s expense. Measurement & Payment: Measurement for sidewalk replacement shall be to the nearest area by length and width measurement and shall include removal and disposal, (perhaps sawcutting) of existing sidewalk; cutting and digging out roots to a minimum of 2-inches below the bottom of the proposed sidewalk, replacement of subgrade, as necessary; forming, pouring, finishing, protecting and curing new concrete; adding or smoothing out topsoil and seeding. Payment will be according to the unit price for the area measured. Remove Sidewalk: This item includes removal of existing walk to the nearest joint as marked by the City and shall include sawcutting, removal and disposal of concrete material. Measurement will be made based on the length times the width of the walk prior to removal. Root Remove: This item includes digging out, cutting, chipping, pulling, grinding or other means of removing any roots found under the removed section of sidewalk to a minimum depth of 4-inches below the bottom of the proposed sidewalk. It shall also include the preparation of the subgrade to include additional sand, if necessary. It is recognized that the effort needed to remove the roots will be related to the size of the adjacent tree. Therefore, the unit price of this item is based on the diameter of the tree as measured at a point 4 feet above the finished sidewalk surface. Sidewalk, __-inch: This item includes forming; pouring new concrete; curing compound; monitoring against vandalism damage; form stripping; backfill with City compost, seed, fertilizer, mulch and an initial application of water; and final clean-up. Measurement will be made based on the length times the width of the new walk poured. Traffic Control, Local Street: This item includes furnishing, placing and maintaining control items to protect the public, Contractors employees, vehicles, and the work. At a minimum it includes a minimum of 5 traffic cones and two barricades at each location and is paid for each address. Traffic Control, State: This item includes furnishing, placing and maintaining control items according to standard traffic typicals that are part of this Bid Document. It also includes the safety provisions that are included herein. It is paid for each address that is applicable.

GRANHOLM GOVERNOR STATE OF MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION GRAND RAPIDS TRANSPORTATION SERVICE CENTER January 21, 2009 KIRK T. STEUDLE, P.E. DIRECTOR 2660 LEONARD STREET, NE • GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN 49525-6907 www.michigan.gov • (616) 464-1800 LH-GRA-4 (03/06) Notice: New MDOT Visibility Policy Many permit applicants may already be aware that the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) adopted a rule regarding the use of high visibility clothing for all workers on Federal- aid highways. The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) supports this rule as we believe that worker safety is paramount, and the use of high visibility clothing is but one way to help ensure our workers go home at the end of their shifts. We need assurance that permit applicants who are working in State highway Right-of-Way are in compliance. In November 2006, the Federal Highway Administration issued 23 CFR, Part 634, and Worker Visibility Final Rule. The rule states, “All workers within the right-of-way of a Federal-aid highway who are exposed either to traffic or to construction equipment within the work area shall wear high-visibility safety apparel.” The compliance date for this rule is November 24, 2008. High visibility safety apparel is defined as: “personal protective clothing that is intended to provide conspicuity during both daytime and nighttime usage, and that meets the Performance Class 2 or 3 of the ANSI IISEA (American National Standard Institute) 107-2004.” Many permit applicants are already in compliance with this requirement, but MDOT needs to assure FHWA that this rule has been adopted and is being observed statewide. Please ensure that by November 24, 2008, all individuals working in State highway Right-of-Way are wearing the proper high visibility clothing. If you have any questions about this rule, please contact Jim Gaus, MDOT Occupational Safety Specialist, at (517) 241-4188 or email him you questions at gausj@michigan.gov. From Mark Geib, Engineer of Operations Field Services Division MDOT Division of Operations 6333 Lansing Road Lansing, MI 48917 Fax/517-322-3385 Questions regarding this advisory should be directed to: Chris Brookes Work Zone Delivery Engineer (517) 636 -0300 Brookesc@michigan.gov Or Chuck Bergmann Work Zone Tech Specialist (517)322-3314 Bergmannc@michigan.gov Fluorescent Sheeting Implementation The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) has been working with Michigan Infrastructure and Transportation Association (MITA) and its industry partners on the use of a 6-inch wide angle prismatic lens reflective sheeting for reflectorizing reboundable traffic control devices such as drums and 42-inch channelizing devices. MDOT, MITA, and industry partners piloted a number of successful projects over the last two years and have been working jointly to develop an implementation plan. Safety for both the motoring public and the workers is the number one reason for this change. Fluorescent reflective sheeting can increase distance visibility providing up to 2.5 seconds of additional driver reaction time at 55 MPH, compared with high intensity sheeting. Additionally, during weather events and low light conditions when approximately 35 percent of work zone crashes occur historically in Michigan, improved motorist visibility will reduce the potential of a traffic crash or fatality. This is a safety initiative that will help reach MDOT’s goal of “Towards Zero Deaths”. Specification will be according to ASTM D 4956. The fluorescent orange sheeting color must have a daytime luminance factor that meets or exceeds 20, (ASTM D 4956 Table 2 – Daytime Luminance Factor (Y %), and the fluorescent orange and white sheeting classified as Type IV sheeting. For projects incorporating the new sheeting the following pay items will be used: • “Plastic Drum, Fluorescent, Furn” • “Plastic Drum, Fluorescent, Oper” • “Channelizing Device, 42 Inch, Fluorescent, Furn” • “Channelizing Device, 42 Inch, Fluorescent, Oper” The following implementation plan was based on the average service life of the drums and 42-inch channelizing devices, which will allow industry to upgrade during the normal replacement cycle. The schedule detailed below, provides inclusion beginning with October 2017 project lettings on the interstate system. System Operations Advisory SOA 2016-002 May 1, 2016 Revised: 9/30/2016 RE mailto:Brookesc@michigan.gov mailto:Bergmannc@michigan.gov The phase in period is described below for project letting dates:  Official notification to industry of the upcoming phase in period was provided on 4/7/2016.  Project lettings on or after 10/1/2017 – Type IV Fluorescent Orange and Type IV White required on all “I” routes.  Project lettings on or after 10/1/2018 – Type IV Fluorescent Orange and Type IV White required on all “BR”, “US”, and “M” routes.  Project lettings on or after 10/1/2020 – Type IV Fluorescent Orange and Type IV White required on all projects let through MDOT including local agency projects.  Maintenance, utility, and permit work performed on state trunk line on or after 10/1/2020 will require – Type IV Fluorescent Orange and Type IV White.  Selected projects may require the use of the new sheeting on a project-by-project basis after the Frequently Used Special Provision is released for each cycle Contractors may implement new fluorescent sheeting on drums and 42 inch channelizing devices prior to the above specific dates, as an “equal to or better than” substitution, at no additional cost to MDOT. During the phase in period, the intermixing of drums and 42 inch channelizing devices with fluorescent orange sheeting and high intensity standard orange sheeting, on the same project will not be allowed. Intermixing of drums and 42 inch channelizing devices with fluorescent sheeting from different companies of the same grade will be allowed. Please contact the Work Zone Delivery Engineer for any additional guidance.
