4. Add REVISED Construction Specification 426 -

Topsoiling, dated July 14, 2020

5. Add Questions and Answers (Q&A)

Q. In two of the documents (the Statement of Work and the 426 Specification for topsoil) it calls out needing a minimum of 6¿ topsoil, but in the

Practice Requirements for Critical Area Planting, it says it should be a minimum of 4¿. Which is it?

A: Let¿s go with a 4¿ minimum. Statement of work and specifications have been revised to reflect this correction.

Q: In the Haz-Mat Report for 58 Third Avenue

Extension, the amount of asbestos reported is summarized strangely. How much total asbestos is needing removal from this residence?

A: The report lists asbestos in a joint compound in 7 different locations, 3 locations where there is 3000 s.f. of asbestos containing joint compound, , 3 locations with 120 s.f. of asbestos containing flooring kitchen flooring materials, and 1 attic window for a total of 9360 sq. ft.

plus 1 window needing removal and abatement prior to demo. Tracking manifests will need to be submitted to the COR when this work is completed.

Q: What types of erosion control measures are anticipated on these sites?

A: All catch basins will need drain socks staked in place around them until the construction is over and the street is cleaned. All downgradient areas of the project sites will also need silt fence installed, which is to be removed once vegetation has established. Silt fences around the entire property boundary are not necessary.

In general, the property frontage at 25 Third

Avenue Extension, and the perimeter of the back yard edge near Old Field Creek on 58 Third Avenue extension will need silt fences.

Q: Is chain link fencing required around the entire perimeter of the properties?

A: According to the West Haven building and zoning department, fencing is required for any

holes that are left unattended. Therefore fencing will be required around any excavated basement holes or other trenches or pits left open during times when construction site is unattended.

Q: Can we hydroseed the seed mix?

A: Hydroseeding this seed is not recommended since the seed itself is very tiny. You will likely want to use a handheld grass seed spreader with a hand crank.

Q: Are the utilities to the residences turned off?

A: No. The gas and power is still on at both residences and the water is still on at 58 third avenue extension (we think). Doug Colter, City of West Haven Building Department and Kristin

Walker, NRCS COR, have agreed to work together to get these utilities disconnected within the next few weeks so the residences will be ready to go once a contract is awarded.

depending on types of activities proposed and availability of inspectors

--Hard hats and work boots shall be worn on the site at all times. Safety signage must be displayed on the site as specified in the solicitation. A COR or Inspector may halt progress if there are safety violations and permission to commence work can only be granted by the Contracting Officer or their appointed representative.

4¿ and a corrected SOW and 426 Topsoil

Specification with this clarified have been given with this solicitation. Material MUST MEET specification 426 including passing laboratory test values for pollutant levels specified. This is a groundwater class B basin, which will determine pollutant mobility criteria, which could be the more stringent of the testing analyses. No topsoil will be brought on-site without receiving approval from the COR that it meets the specifications in this solicitation package.

--Be aware of tidal influence on groundwater.

Groundwater is shallow and can fill an empty basement hole if tides are not accounted for prior to removal of the basement walls.

--Time modifications need to be requested at least 5 days in advance prior to the expiration of the contract Period of Performance. A time extension may or may not be approved depending on the basis for justification.
