Questions and Answers for 12405B24Q0107
I just want to clarify that the pipes will be furnished by the Dept. of Agriculture, or the USDA ARS SEA AAO ACQ/PER PROP office and the prime contractor is only installing the plots? USDA will furnish the culvert pipes used for the microplots.
When will we know if the additional 180 need to be installed? Is it at or near the same location or a totally different location? It will depend on funding. Same location.
Also, we need more info on water line type, size, and type of emitters. The USDA-ARS representative does not know this information. The contractor will need to determine what is needed to adequately irrigate the plots as stated in the Statement of Work (below). A site visit is highly encouraged.
· A main irrigation line will need to be made of pvc. It will be installed from a nearby riser to supply water to each row. Each irrigation row will need to be made of pvc and have an accessible underground manual brass ball valve installed close to the main irrigation line to turn on/off irrigation as needed.
· Each 36-inch-diameter plot will have its own irrigation emitter adequate to water the entire plot, but not over-reaching watering outside of the plot. The emitter and required plumbing must run vertically along the inside edge of the culvert pipe.
· The south end of the main line will need an accessible ball valve installed to act as a low point drain for the entire irrigation system.
The irrigation source will be from a deep well already in-service on the property.
Site Visit: Bidders are encouraged to visit the sight and be escorted by a government representative to confirm locations, dimensions, and conditions of the project before a bid is submitted. The site visit shall be for the purpose of observing firsthand any conditions relevant to the completion of this project. No consideration will be given to claims based on lack of knowledge of existing conditions, except where contract documents make definite provisions for adjustment in cost or extension due to existing conditions not readily foreseeable. This project is located at S. Entomology Dr in Tifton GA
