14. DESCRIPTION OF AMENDMENT/MODIFICATION (Organized by UCF section headings, including solicitation/contract subject matter where feasible.)

GAOA GIBBS WASH BRIDGE REPLACEMENT, CORONADO NATIONAL FOREST

RFI, Question 1: We have a question on the traffic notes phases shown on C-03. It is our understanding that the existing bridge would need to be removed and the new culvert and MSE walls installed in the same location. All of this work would need to be completed during a road closure and could not be completed in four (4) days. Please clarify or let us know if these closure timeframes can be extended.

Response: The proposed bridge is located 100 feet (C/L to C/L) upstream of the existing bridge. This was done for several reasons; one is that it allows for the construction of the new bridge without having to remove the old bridge first.

RFI Question 2: Also, the material supplier listed in the revised SOW has not started testing or producing materials out of his source. How stringent will specifications be held to in case they have difficulty meeting all specified requirements? For example, the MSE wall backfill requires 0-2% on the #200 which can be difficult to produce consistently. Also, the aggregate surface course requirements can also be difficult to achieve especially with such a small quantity.

Response: The material supplier in the revised SOW is for Item 30115 Aggregate Surface Course (Grade G) and not for backfill material. Both the road surfacing aggregate and embankment material must meet the specification in the contract. More options and potential sources of material for the road surfacing aggregate were added to the SOW.

(See revised SOW attached hereto)

RFI Question 3: I am trying to get the gunite/shotcrete quantities and plans for the GAOA Gibbs Wash bridge replacement.

Response: Materials such as gunite or shotcrete are not specified in the contract and shall not be used.

Revised SOW is included as a Attachment to this Amendment.

Except as provided herein, all terms and conditions of the document referenced in Item 9A or 10A, as heretofore changed, remains unchanged and in full force and effect.
