This document is a Questions and Answers Log for Solicitation # 140A1624R0002 - Lateral 73-36 Check One Replacement. The solicitation is for a construction project to replace the Lateral 73-36 Check Structure. Key details include:
The project is located on Tribal Trust Lands, and the government has negotiated a Temporary Construction Easement covering the work area. Contractors asked questions about construction limits, access to the site, water sources, geotechnical information, and permitting requirements, which the government answered. The solicitation includes a requirement for a USFWS relocation permit, and the government provided instructions on how to obtain this permit. The government denied requests to extend the proposal due date and the deadline for submitting questions. A geotechnical report will be provided for informational purposes. Contractors are allowed to extract water from the canal and discharge pumped water back into the canal for construction activities.

Sheet1 Questions and Answers Log for Solicitation # 140A1624R0002 - Lateral 73-36 Check One Replacement
| Number | Contractor | Date Received | Question | Date Sent to COR | Answer | Date Answered |
| 1 | Tepa | 3/21/24 | Amendment 1, M.5 added extensive requirements to the technical approach. Please extend the proposal due date 4 weeks to allow adequate time to prepare a response. | 3/21/24 | Extension denied. | 4/1/24 |
| 2 | Tepa | 3/21/24 | The current deadline date of March 26 to submit Questions and Answers is insufficient time, as the site visit was on March 21, and site visit documentation has not been posted yet. Please extend the Questions and Answers deadline 1-2 weeks. | 3/21/24 | Extension denied. | 4/1/24 |
| 3 | DBR | 3/26/24 | Could the government furnish a comprehensive map delineating restricted areas? | 3/26/24 | Page G03 of the construction drawings defines the allowed construction limits. The only areas within the construction limits where access is restricted is east of the 73-36 canal; in this area work shall be restircted to previously disturbed areas (i.e., no new vegetation disturbance east of the 73-36 canal). No additional mapping is available. | 4/1/24 |
| 4 | DBR | 3/26/24 | Are the construction linits on page G-03 final? Is it allowed to deploy construction machinery beyond the designated construction limits towards the required construction of the southern stockpile berm? | 3/26/24 | Contractor's access to and from the construction limits, including access between the main coinstruction area and the southern construction limits adjacent the farm ditch shall be along the existing roadways, tracks, and canal operation and maintenance roads. | 4/1/24 |
| 5 | DBR | 3/26/24 | The cross section mentions the southern stockpile berm but lacks specifications regarding its desired height, and no contour design plans are available for reference. Can the government furnish additional details regarding the southern stockpile berm? | 3/26/24 | The intent of the southern berm is to prevent water from flowing into the construction area through pipes or low spots in in the north side of this ditch. Detailed berm design has not been developed, as this is a very minor aspect of the work. The berm need only be sufficient to allow continued use of the ditch to periodically irrigate the field to the south without significantly impacting the construction areas north of the ditch. The government expects that a small berm or buttress along the north side of the existing canal embankment should be sufficient. | 4/1/24 |
| 6 | DBR | 3/26/24 | A water source will be necessary for compaction and other construction tasks. Is it permissible to extract water from the canal, or will the government provide an alternative water source? | 3/26/24 | It is permissible to extract water from the canal for construction purposes. | 4/1/24 |
| 7 | DBR | 3/26/24 | Is there a geotechnical report accessible? It is crucial for the earthwork as the specifications differentiate between suitable and unsuitable materials. Additionally, it will be instrumental in determining our bids, especially concerning the expected soil shrinkage. | 3/26/24 | The CRIP Lateral 73-36 Check Structure Geotechnical Report, dated August 2023, will be posted to the solicitation for informational purposes. | 4/1/24 |
| 8 | DBR | 3/26/24 | If we intend to dewater using pumps, is it permissible to discharge the pumped water back into the canal? | 3/26/24 | It is permissible to discharge pumped water back into the canal. | 4/1/24 |
| 9 | DBR | 3/26/24 | In note 7 found on page C02, it is mentioned to transport any salvaged temporary erosion protection materials to the CRIP yard located in Poston, AZ. Could you kindly provide the address for the CRIP yard? | 3/26/24 | Northeast corner of the Mohave Road-Poston Road intersection, Poston, Arizona. Coordinates are provided on page G01 of the drawings. | 4/1/24 |
| 10 | DBR | 3/26/24 | In the roster of necessary submittals, under submittal no. 01 57 20-4, it specifies the requirement for a USFWS relocation permit. Could you please indicate where this permit can be obtained? We were unable to find it online thru the USFWS permit page. | 3/26/24 | The form can be found online at: https://fwsepermits.servicenowservices.com/fws?id=fws_kb_view&sys_id=7d0e85751b1f50101f45dbdbe54bcbc6 Instructions are provided. The form can be completed online from this site.,or it can be downloaded and submitted by mail. | 4/1/24 |
| 11 | DBR | 3/26/24 | During the site inspection, it was noted that there are survey control points in the vicinity. Will the details regarding these points be accessible to the contractor upon the project being awarded? | 3/26/24 | Control points are listed in the table labled "CONTROL POINT TABLE" near the center-bottom of sheet G03 of the project plans. Control point locations are shown on the drawing labelled "PLAN" in the upper-left corner of sheet G03. | 4/1/24 |
