Solicitation 1240LT26Q0094, Palisades Lagoon Liner & Effluent Sprinkler System Replacement, Coronado National Forest, is amended as follows:

Q1: What is the required access road width, and what compaction requirements apply?

A: The road typical section on Sheet C-11 shows a 14-foot maximum roadway width within a 22-foot clearing width. The typical section also shows a 3-inch compacted-in-place surface course.

Applicable roadway excavation and embankment are to be compacted in accordance with FSSS Section 204.11.

Reference: Plans Sheet C-11; FSSS 204.11; Section 31 22 00, 3.1(F).

Q2: What water source is available for construction, and how is its use coordinated?

A: Potable water is available at the administrative site. Provide the COR at least 48 hours' notice before hauling water from the Forest Service water supply. The contract does not identify a specific hydrant or connection point, so the actual withdrawal location will be coordinated with the COR/CO in the field.

Reference: Section 01 11 00, Existing Facilities, Item L(2)-(3).

Q3: May trees along the access road be removed if they interfere with the work?

A: Only trees and vegetation within the authorized clearing/work limits, or specifically required to be removed by the contract, may be removed. The specifications specifically require removal of trees between the lagoon and the chain-link perimeter fence and trimming of branches extending into the lagoon area. Any additional tree removal along the access road that is not

P a g e 4 | 6 clearly within the approved clearing limits should be identified in the field and approved by the COR before removal.

Reference: Section 01 11 00, Selective Demolition; Section 31 11 00, 3.2.

Q4: What wastewater flow should be used to size the temporary collection and pumping system?

A: The specifications identify an estimated wastewater flow of approximately 1,770 gallons per day during the anticipated construction period. The temporary pumping system must have sufficient capacity for the applicable design flow. The Contractor is required to submit pumping calculations addressing pump capacity, static lift, friction losses, flow velocity, and pump curves.

A separate numerical peak-flow value is not identified in the reviewed contract language.

Reference: Section 01 51 20, Existing System Components and Temporary Pumping System requirements.

Q5: If rock is encountered while constructing the ditch along the lagoon liner, may the ditch dimensions be reduced?

A: No. Encountering rock does not by itself authorize reducing the plan dimensions, ditch section, or required elevations. The work should be constructed to the lines and grades shown on the plans. If rock prevents construction as designed, notify the COR/CO before changing the ditch geometry. Any proposed reduction or other deviation from the contract design requires Government approval before proceeding.

Reference: Contract plans - required lines and grades; applicable excavation requirements. No contract provision was identified that automatically permits reducing the ditch because rock is encountered.

Q6: Must all cleared vegetation be removed from the site?

A: Yes, for vegetation and debris required to be removed under the contract. Vegetation within 8 feet of the keyed-in lagoon perimeter edges is to be removed and disposed of. Clearing and grubbing also requires brush, branches, and trees to be chipped and disposed of off-site, and waste material is to be disposed of off Government property. Burning on site is not permitted.

Reference: Section 01 11 00, Selective Demolition; Section 31 11 00, 3.2.

Q7. Where will the temporary wastewater collection tanks be located?

A: The contract drawings identify the temporary wastewater collection use area along the left side of the service access road and require an approximately 18-foot by 58-foot clear area. The COR will delineate/confirm the final location in the field consistent with the contract drawings before installation.

Reference: Section 01 11 00, Temporary Wastewater Collection Use Area; Section 31 22 00, 1.1(B); contract drawings.

Q8: What is the procedure if suspect waste or contaminated material is encountered beneath the existing lagoon liner?

A: Stop work in the affected area, do not disturb the suspect material, and immediately notify the CO. The CO will determine whether testing is required. If the material is determined to be contaminated, the specifications state that it will be properly removed and disposed of by the contractor through a modification. The Contractor should not treat suspect contaminated material as ordinary excavation or dispose of it without CO direction.

Reference: Section 01 11 00, Maintenance Improvement Work - unacceptable/contaminated soil.

Q9. How should excess excavation generated while preparing the temporary wastewater tank area be handled?

A: Use suitable excavated material as backfill where required. Excavated material that is not required or is unsuitable for backfill is to be used on site or removed to a waste area as directed by the COR. Excess material should not be stockpiled where it interferes with the temporary wastewater collection system, drainage, access, or other contract work.

Reference: Section 31 22 00, 3.1(C), and temporary wastewater collection use-area requirements.

Q10. How should the existing leaking pumphouse roof be addressed?

A: Roof replacement or repair is not identified as part of the lagoon/effluent sprinkler contract scope reviewed.

Reference: Section 01 11 00 project scope; Plans C-03/C-08.

Q11. Are there seasonal restrictions?

A: The specifications do identify winter access conditions, including possible snow-related closures and chain/4WD requirements from December through February. There is a wildlife breeding restriction timeframe of March 1 through August 31. Work shall not be completed during this timeframe. If other environmental concerns are encountered during construction, stop or avoid work in the affected area and coordinate with the COR before proceeding.

Reference: Section 01 11 00, Project Location.

Q12: The bid schedule includes five weeks of temporary effluent pumping/tank rental. What happens if the temporary system is required longer than five weeks?

A: The temporary wastewater collection and pumping system must remain operational for the duration required to perform the contract work and maintain wastewater service. The bid schedule pays for temporary tank and pump system rental by the week. Five weeks appears to be the estimated bid quantity, not a contractual authorization to stop temporary service after five weeks. If additional weeks are required, payment responsibility should be administered under the contract based on the actual quantity and the reason for the additional duration. Time attributable solely to the Contractor should not automatically be treated the same as additional time caused by a Government-directed change or other compensable condition.

Reference: Section 01 51 20; Bid Item 015120(03), Temporary Tank & Pump System Rental - Week.

Q13: Is the Government opposed to temporarily using the existing sprinkler system to dispose of effluent during construction?

A: The Government is not categorically opposed to the Contractor proposing use of the existing sprinkler system; however, it may only be used if the proposed operation complies with the applicable ADEQ Aquifer Protection Permit and is approved by the COR/CO. Effluent application must remain within the permitted daily/operational limits. The Contractor should submit the proposed pumping and disposal method, anticipated daily volume, and operating controls before use.

Reference: Section 01 51 20, Existing Effluent Sprinkler Disposal Area; Section 01 11 00, Selective Demolition; applicable ADEQ permit requirements.
