11. There is a large tree that has fallen into the water on the site. The root ball is still partially in the <br />riverbank. Is the tree and root ball to be removed and if so, will it need to be replaced? <br />A: An approximately 18" DBH Sycamore tree has fallen into the river since the issuance of these <br />bid documents. The entirety of the tree, including rootball, will be removed from the site and <br />this additional work should be included in the unit price for Clearing, Grubbing, and Obstruction <br />Removal. The void left by the tree should be backfilled with INDOT Class I Riprap. The current <br />quantity of INDOT Class I Riprap included on the bid sheet should be considered sufficient to fill <br />this void and still complete all other designated bank stabilization work. <br />12. May we substitute live stakes in lieu of bare root shrubs because planting time is out of season. <br />We recommend doubling live stake quantity as survival rate is not as great. <br />A: Should installation of plantings take place prior to spring availability of bare roots or as <br />approved by the Owner, native species live stakes installed at a 3:1 ratio may substitute bare <br />root plantings. <br />13. Will the overhead utility line be relocated before construction begins? Or will line protection be <br />required? <br />A: The overhead utility line will be relocated to the north side of North Shore Drive prior to <br />construction. <br />
