Tender Call No. 20-2015 Addendum No. 4

Questions & Answers:

Q1. I am writing to enquire as to whether or not there is a Splash Pad equipment supplier specified in the bid documents for this project. If so, are you accepting bids from other suppliers with equivalent products?

A1. Products can be quoted or supplied by Crystal Fountains. See Addendum 1, item 1 re: alternates. Q2. We are writing to enquire as to why the City of Toronto has not opened up bidding to include, but not

limited to, other local Canadian manufacturers who meet the criteria for the job. Your tender reads: all nozzles shall be manufactured by Crystal Fountain. Same also applies to the Light fixtures section. Should it not read “or equivalent and approved”?

A2. See Addendum 1, Item 1 re: alternates. Q3. In site furnishing section who is the supplier of spray Jet heddies?

A3. Crystal Fountains. Q4. In Drawing M-1 who is responsible for work by city site services connection?

A4. Installing Contractor. Refer to Addendum # 3. Q5. Mechanical - The backfill is stated to be Native in 1.7.2 - Detail of pipe burial shows Granular

Backfill. Which is it to be? A5. The paragraph has been revised in addendum #3. Q6. Water Meter - Usually supplied by the city. Who is to supply the water meter? A6. Meter is supplied and installed by Spray equipment supplier/contractor. Q7. Chamber size seems excessive for the size of piping required. From Toronto detail T-1107.02-2

would indicate a smaller chamber would be sufficient at 3.5 x 2.3m. Is the specified size chamber to be reviewed and perhaps modified?

A7. Provide specified size chamber. Q8. No bypass loop is specified in the valve chamber layout details. Will a bypass be required? A8. Bypass has been shown in drawing issued with Addendum #3. Q9. Re: Addendum #2, Item #7. When will revised forms be sent out? A9. These were sent out under Addendum #3. Q10. Re: Addendum #2, Item #10 Changes to M101. When will this be addressed?

1/2" mortared joints. Refer detail 1 and 3 on L301" Details 1 and 3 on L301 do not make any reference to joint size or type. Joints cannot be both tight and 1/2". A half inch spacing for joint seems to us to be excessive for natural stone pavers. Please clarify this discrepancy.

A12. This was addressed under Addendum #3. Q13. Area of rigid insulation should be in m2 not Lm. A13. Addressed in Addendum # 4. The revision is on the Pricing Pages Revised February 11, 2015. Q14.
