RFI Log
- No RFIs submitted yet. Firm Foundations will submit any bid clarifications directly to Pennoni Associates (Jason Sheridan, PE) prior to bid deadline once the ITB is issued.
- Anticipated bid clarifications (to be confirmed):
- Superpave mix confirmation (SP-9.5 vs SP-12.5) for overlay
- Materials testing responsibility (owner vs contractor coordination for first round)
- Milling waste disposal / recycling requirements
- Dumpster gate hardware spec (heavy-duty commercial)

- Night-work availability for overlay lifts (tenant access preservation)
Notes on Bid Basis
- Private commercial project — no Davis-Bacon, Section 3, BABA, or HUD compliance overlay
- Standard Florida commercial contractor license (CBC1267421) sufficient
- Pinellas County engineering permit plans — standard local permit & inspection process
- All applicable FDOT standard indexes for details (#101, #109, #117, #118, #119, #120, #522-002)
- Standard erosion control per F.D.O.T. Index #102 / FDEP
- Firm Foundations to carry standard commercial GL + auto + workers comp per Owner requirements
Scope of Work — 4-Phase Approach
Sequenced to keep all seven buildings accessible throughout construction: erosion control & demo work first (opens site & establishes staging), then all concrete work (curbs, sidewalks, ramps, trench drains) so the paving surface is ready, then the asphalt overlay in tenant-friendly sections, then striping / signage / punch. Target duration ~6 weeks weather-dependent, exclusive of cure times and inspection wait.
Phase 1 — Mobilization, Erosion Control & Demolition
- Mobilization: staging area setup, dumpster placement, toolbox meeting with Owner Rep & tenants
- Install silt fencing per F.D.O.T. Index #102 at perimeter as required by SWPPP
- Install tree barricades around all trees flagged on demolition plans (typical)
- Install sediment bags under grates OR polypropylene fabric wrap on all storm inlets & yard drains (protect existing storm system)
- Selective demolition per CS0501 / CS0502:
- Existing sidewalk removal (typ.) at all replacement locations
- Curb removal at all BEGIN/END curb replacement segments (~20 discrete locations across the campus)
- Existing ADA ramps flagged REMOVE RAMP (multiple locations both plan sheets)
- Existing trench-drain pipe removal (marked REMOVE PIPE/TRENCH DRAIN, ~8 locations)
- Existing dumpster swing gates — remove for repair phase
- Mill existing asphalt 1½″ across all bays and drive lanes — all limits per BEGIN/END ASPHALT MILLING callouts
- Haul milled material off-site (millings to FF yard for reuse where permitted, otherwise disposed)
- Protect all utility structures (sanitary MHs, storm inlets, water valves) — leave in place at existing grade
Phase 2 — Concrete Work
- Set forms for all curb & sidewalk replacements, verified against Pennoni benchmarks (TBM #60000/60001/60002)
- Straight curb replacement per FDOT Index #101 at all BEGIN/END segments
- Integral curb + sidewalk per detail on CS6001 — 4.5′ typ., 6″ max curb face, 4″ concrete over 4″ stabilized subgrade (min LBR 40), 1½″R
- Concrete sidewalk per FDOT Index #109 — 4″ over 4″ stabilized subgrade, width per plan
- ADA curb ramps per FDOT Index #522-002 with detectable warning surface (truncated-dome mat) — CR-C typ., CR-F & CR-G at flagged locations
- Ramp with handrails — 5′ landing at 1 flagged location
- Concrete spec (all pours): 3,000 psi min @ 28 days, fiber-mesh reinforcing, light broom finish
- Tooled joints at width intervals; expansion joints max 20′-0″ spacing
- Trench-drain pipe replacement under new sidewalks (~8 locations) — new drain pipe tied to existing yard drains staying in place
- CMU dumpster enclosure wall repair(s) at 2 locations — repair damaged block, re-tuck-point, re-parge as required
- Cure minimum 7 days before overlay traffic on adjacent bays
Phase 3 — Asphalt Overlay
- Tack coat entire milled surface
- 1½″ SP asphalt overlay across all parking bays and drive lanes
- Sequenced in sections by building group so at least one clear access route to each building is preserved at all times:
- Section A: Buildings #1–#3 (western half)
- Section B: Buildings #4–#7 (eastern half)
- Sub-sequencing coordinated with Owner Rep 48 hrs in advance
- Adjust all utility structure covers flush to new pavement (rings raised as needed)
- Roller passes per FDOT specification, breakdown → intermediate → finish
- Compaction density testing per contract specification (owner-directed testing lab)
- Overlay rideability checked with 10′ straightedge in all critical zones
- Adjacent concrete edges protected during paving; edge sealer at concrete-asphalt joints
Phase 4 — Striping, Signage & Punch
- Thermoplastic pavement markings per FDOT Index #120 — 6″ wide white, standard parking bay layout matching plan
- ADA pavement markings per FDOT Index #118 — blue background, white International Symbol of Access, hatched access aisles
- ADA parking space signs per FDOT Index #119 — sign R7-8, minimum height 60″ to bottom of sign, van-accessible where marked
- Wheel stops per FDOT Index #117 — precast concrete with adhesive/spike anchoring
- STOP signs (R1-1) at flagged locations with 24″ wide white thermoplastic stop bars
- (2) 8′ rubber speed bumps at each of 2 locations (4 total units) — installed with lag-anchor kits
- Swing gate replacement at 2 dumpster enclosures — heavy-duty commercial hinges, drop rods, latches
- Erosion-control take-down (silt fence, sediment bags/wraps, tree barricades)
- Restore any landscape areas disturbed during construction — sod repair at grade transitions
- Punch list walk with Owner Rep, Engineer & Property Manager
- Final cleanup & demobilization
Across Every Phase
- Daily sign-in sheets & morning toolbox safety talks
- SWPPP inspections after every 0.5″+ rain event — log kept on site
- Property Manager gets a weekly progress email with the coming week's closures & access map
- All lanes & ramps clear & safe by 5 PM every day; no work area left un-cordoned overnight
- Utility structure covers checked flush every evening — nothing left as a trip hazard
- Photos of every completed section (before / during / after) — uploaded to this portal
- Contractor to carry all required insurance (GL, auto, WC) at Owner-specified limits
