A geotechnical report will be needed to adequately bid the job. Will contractors be allowed to perform there own subsurface investigation of the site?
Answer
Submitted: Tuesday 15-JAN-2019 04:18 PM
Yes, Contractor's may perform their own subsurface investigation, reference Section 102.06. Obtain all necessary permits from MDT and resource agencies (if applicable) for the proposed method of investigation (test pit, borings, etc.). Contact Kyle DeMars, Bozeman Maintenance Chief, for Encroachment Permit requirements (406-556-4704). The encroachment permit application is linked: ENCROACHMENT APPLICATION
Any disturbance within the project area that detrimentally affects the eroding bank of the Yellowstone River is the responsibility of the permittee. Do not dig a test pit, bore a hole, or conduct any other ground disturbance activities within 30 feet of the existing bank of the Yellowstone River.
It should be noted that this project is in a detailed floodplain of the Yellowstone River and as such any temporary stockpiles or change in grade may fall under the jurisdiction of the Park County Floodplain Administrator reference Special Provision No. 13, MONTANA FLOODPLAIN AND FLOODWAY MANAGEMENT ACT [107] (REVISED 3-10-16) for additional information. Upon completion of the subsurface investigation backfill or re-grade the test locations to pre-investigation contours.

Due to the high volume of dewatering to be encountered will there be dewatering discharge turbidity limits into the yellowstone river?
Answer
Submitted: Wednesday 30-JAN-2019 10:00 AM
De-watering of the excavation is not required, as long as it is demonstrated that the geotextile, and riprap can be installed per plan dimensions. If the contractor elects to de-water the excavation; they are required to obtain any necessary permits for the chosen operation. MDT has not obtained any permits that allows discharge to waters of the U.S. or wetlands.

1) Due to the water level currently being around 4 to 5 foot below existing grade and there being potential for up to 10 foot of standing water inside the excavation how will MDT verify the excavation, geotextile placement and rip rap placement being according to the project plan dimensions?
2) Will MDT push the Notice to proceed date and substantial completion date back, in order to facilitate proper time for the contractor to acquire the necessary dewatering permits?
Answer
Submitted: Thursday 31-JAN-2019 08:57 AM
1) Excavation and materials placement will be verified with grade rod and visual inspection.
2) The Notice to Proceed (NTP) will not be delayed due to critical timing of completion before spring runoff.
