(AMENDMENT 0001) – Addressed with Amendment 0001

QUESTIONS RECEIVED AS OF 6/19/2018:

1. We have several questions regarding your Section B Price Schedule. We are calculating different quantities and Units of Measure than as presented on the form. For Example:

• CLIN 002 shows 317 SF and we find 217 SF.

• CLIN 003 shows 38 LF and we calculate 46 LF.

• CLINs 004 and 011 are stated as 104 LF and 100 LF and we find 176 SF and 217 SF respectively.

• This one is important as 175’ x 8’ tall walls equals 1400 SF of drywall and we find only 176

SF (22’ x 8’).

• CLIN 007 shows a quantity of 200 and we find 205.

• CLIN 008 shows a quantity of 100 and we find 97.

• CLIN 009 shows a quantity of 100 and we find 108.

ANSWER: The attached Schedule – Seed Project 1 – Corrected, corrects CLIN 002, 004 and 005 (not 011 as stated above) to the correct quantities and/or units. Please use this schedule, instead of the one attached with Attachment 1. Additionally Page 5 of Section 010150 – General Requirements has been corrected, and is attached below. In regards to the additional items shown above with errors, there is not enough of a difference, and the Government requires contractors to price as stated in the quantities included in schedule.

4. Normal sludge remove projects that we have done in the past allowed for the transfer of overburden water to other lagoons to minimize the sludge/water separation. Does this facility have any adjacent lagoons with capacity to receive overburden water?

ANSWER: The facility does not have any adjacent lagoons.

5. I understand a bid guarantee is required but there is no amount or rate/percentage that is specified. Could you tell me what the amount and/or rate should be so I can obtain a bid bond?

ANSWER: This was an oversite in FAR 52.228-1 – Bid Guarantee – It should read “The amount of the bid guarantee shall be 100% of the bid price or 20%, whichever is less.” The Bid Guarantee is 20% of the total amount of the proposal.
