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

Question # Question Response

The contract documents make reference to P‐219, a recycled aggregate. Should the Contractor not be able to source P‐219 aggregate, will P‐209, a virgin aggregate, be acceptable for use on this project? P‐209, virgin aggregate is acceptable.

2 Can the contractor place and finish concrete with methods beside slip‐form paving machine?

Only for certain conditions. See Attachment 3, Technical Specifications Section P‐501‐4.11 Finishing.

3 What is the required slump for placement of concrete by hand and equipment? See Attachment 3, Technical Specifications Mix Design (Section P‐501, Page P‐501‐7)

4 What is the required PSI and Strength? See Attachment 3, Technical Specifications Mix Design (Section P‐501, Page P‐501‐7)

5 What is the Flex Strength? See Attachment 3, Technical Specifications Mix Design (Section P‐501, Page P‐501‐7)

6 Can side forms be made out of wood? Only for certain conditions.

See Attachment 3, Technical Specifications Section 501‐4.8(b), Side Form Construction (page P‐501‐15).

7 Can work be done after‐hours or at night? No.

Drawing C1‐1 states that lights need to be removed, relocated, and reinstalled. Can you provide existing lighting electrical plan? This will help us to define the complexity of the relocation. If the three lights are part of an existing circuit it would require a larger job than if they are in an isolated circuit.

There is a set of "paper" plans at the base the awardee may be able to review. For bidding purposes, assume lights are part of existing circuit system.

9 Will the contractor require badging to enter the project and execute construction?

No badging, but there will be a briefing on how they will operate while on site from the airport authority.

Will the contractor require any permit form the City or County to execute the project? If so, can you list the permits that are required.

The Individual Environmental Resource Permit issued by the Suwannee River Water Management District on July 23, 2020. There are no other known permits required, however, the General Provisions Section 70‐02 states the contractor shall procure all permits and licenses.

Can the contractor work during daily hours in this project? Are there any working hour restrictions for this project? Yes, work may proceed Monday – Friday from 0700 – 1900, except Federal Holidays.

12 How many days the does contractor have to complete the project after the NTP? 180 calendar days. See Block 11 of the SF 1442.

Is the removal, plating, and reinstallation of the additional lighting in the area that requires demo, the contractor responsibility or does the airport have an airfield lighting crew that will accomplish this task?

The contractor will be required to remove and re‐install any lighting required during the project.

Dear Joe Helfenberger:

Enclosed is your Individual Environmental Resource Permit issued by the Suwannee River Water Management District on July 23, 2020. This permit is a legal document and should be kept with your other important documents. Permit issuance does not relieve you from the responsibility of obtaining any necessary permits from any federal, state, or local agencies for your project.

Noticing Your Permit:

For noticing instructions, please refer to the noticing materials in this package regarding closing the point of entry for someone to challenge the issuance of your permit. Please note that if a timely petition for administrative hearing is filed, your permit will become nonfinal and any activities that you choose to undertake pursuant to your permit will be at your own risk.

Compliance with Other Permitting Programs:

This permit does not eliminate the necessity to obtain any required federal, state, local and special district authorizations prior to the start of any construction, alteration, operation, maintenance, removal or abandonment authorized by this permit.

The Suwannee River Water Management District did not issue a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for this project. If this project meets the thresholds such that a NPDES permit is required, you must apply to the Florida Department of Environmental

Suwannee River Water Management District | County Road 49, Live Oak, FL 32060 | 386.362.1001 | MySuwanneeRiver.com

Water for Nature. Water for People.

Protection directly. More information about NPDES permits may be found online at https://floridadep.gov/water/stormwater. Failure to obtain a NPDES permit prior to construction could subject you to enforcement action by that agency.

For projects which involve wetlands or surface waters, the Suwannee River Water Management District did not issue a federal authorization for use or impacts to wetlands under federal jurisdiction, this project. Therefore, you must apply directly to the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). More information about USACE permitting may be found online at https://www.saj.usace.army.mil/. Failure to obtain USACE authorization prior to construction could subject you to federal enforcement action by that agency.

Transferring Your Permit:

Your permit requires you to notify the District in writing within 30 days of any change in ownership or control of the project or activity covered by the permit, or within 30 days of any change in ownership or control of the real property on which the permitted project or activity is located or occurs. You will need to provide the District with the information specified in rule 62- 330.340, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). Generally, this will require you to complete and submit Form 62-330.340(1), “Request to Transfer Permit”.

Please note that a permittee is liable for compliance with the permit before the permit is transferred. The District, therefore, recommends that you request a permit transfer in advance in accordance with the applicable rules. You are encouraged to contact District staff for assistance with this process.

Thank you and please let us know if you have additional questions. For general questions contact us at (386) 362-1001.

Sincerely, Hugh Thomas Executive Director

A petition must comply with Sections 120.54(5)(b)4. and 120.569(2)(c), Florida Statutes (F.S.), and Chapter 28106, F.A.C. The District will not accept a petition sent by facsimile (fax). Mediation pursuant to Section 120.573, F.S., is not available.

A petition for an administrative hearing is deemed filed upon receipt of the complete petition by the District Clerk at the District Headquarters in Live Oak, FL during the District’s regular business hours. The District's regular business hours are 8 a.m. – 5 p.m., excluding weekends and District holidays. Petitions received by the District Clerk after the District's regular business hours shall be deemed filed as of 8 a.m. on the next regular District business day.

The right to an administrative hearing and the relevant procedures to be followed are governed by Chapter 120, Florida Statutes, Chapter 28-106, Florida Administrative Code, and Rule 40B- 1.1010, Florida Administrative Code. Because the administrative hearing process is designed to formulate final agency action, the filing of a petition means the District's final action may be different from the position taken by it in this notice. Failure to file a petition for an administrative hearing within the requisite time frame shall constitute a waiver of the right to an administrative hearing. (Rule 28-106.111, F.A.C.).

If you wish to do so, you may request the Notice of Rights for this permit by contacting the Business Resource Specialist in the Division of Resource Management (RM), 9225 CR 49, Live Oak, FL 32060, or by phone at 386.362.1001.
