Amendment 0006

Solicitation #140FC324R0002 – HMNAR Water System Upgrades, Plush, Oregon

Question #1:

Regarding the 5-page limit for the Technical Approach:

For the previous Phase 2 proposal, the solicitation allowed 6 pages for the Draft Project Delivery Plan, which was to include the following sections:

• Project Understanding

• Project Overview and

• Project Delivery Plan

All other topics –

• identification of project stakeholders

• how new or emerging technologies may be implemented

• new construction methods or methodologies

• communication plan

• how project solicitation attachments will be developed to meet project outcomes,

• what conditions and/or assumptions were established, and Quality Control – were all required as part of the Technical Approach, which had NO page limit.

This solicitation is requiring all of these topics in 5 pages.

Additionally, this solicitation added two new topics in the Evaluation Criteria:

• Temporary Facilities

• Minimum Disruption Plans

We therefore request that you consider allowing 12 total pages for this proposal.

Otherwise, the result may be a proposal that is not comprehensive enough in detail to be fairly evaluated.

Response. The USFWS will increase the maximum number of pages to 10 total and the inclusion of Temporary Facilities Plans and Minimum Disruption Plans to be assigned no page limit for increased flexibility.

Question #2:

There were no Specifications provided with the solicitation. Can you please provide Specifications?

Response. Please find attached technical specifications.

RFIs 06.04.2024

Solicitation #140FC324R0002 – HMNAR Water System Upgrades, Plush, Oregon

Question #3:

Has a Wetlands Delineation Report been filed for this project? If so, can you please provide a copy?

Response. No, a Wetlands Delineation Report has not been filed for this project. There is currently no Wetland Delineation Report available for use.

If not, is the intent of the solicitation for the Offeror to provide coordination with the various agencies regarding wetlands regulations – or does the USFWS intend to handle this outside of this contract?

Response. The USFWS doesn’t expect the Design/Build Contractor will encounter wetlands.

The requirement for a Wetland Delineation Survey and Report was removed from the Scope of the Contract Solicitation. Note, the previous Design Consultants’ Permit Register is considered preliminary in nature and did not consider actual Wetland Survey Mapping and identification.

The Permit Register includes what could be required, but is not necessarily required for this project.

However, if there are existing Wetlands in the project improvement areas, these Wetlands could be artificially established by the existing water system infrastructure or these Wetlands could be naturally occurring within the ecosystem. For example, below ground leaking pipe where water accumulates at ground surface and at the Valet spring box where water is collected and accumulated artificially modifying surface water locations and groundwater table locations relative to ground surface.

If the Design/Build Contractor determines the presence of artificially created wetlands located within the project improvement areas resulting from on-site infrastructure or natural wetlands for this matter, the USFWS requests the Design/Build Contractor notify the USFWS of the approximate location and extent of either artificially or naturally occurring wetlands.

If a Wetland Area(s) including location and extent is(are) identified, the USFWS would perform any separate Wetland Delineation Survey and Follow-up Report to the extent the USFWS has the in-house resources. If those in-house resources are not available, the USFWS would potentially accomplish this project permitting under a separate Permitting Assistance Contract with McMillen, the previous Designer of Record (DOR).

Question #4

There are three road crossings. What is the period of time we will be allowed to shut down traffic on the road?

Response. The USFWS will want to confirm road ownership before determining what the Traffic Control requirements would be. Typically, for County Roads, the County would request at least (1) travel lane width remain open for exit and entry. To be confirmed.

Question #5

Is the current water piping still allowing water to the compound?

Response. Yes, the current water piping is supplying water to the Refuge Headquarters Office, Buildings, and yard.

Question #6

Option Item 2” Dia Buried Schedule 80 PVC Pipe or HDPE DRI Pipe – Does this option include installing the pipe only, no excavation? If this includes the pipe, the price would be different price for each schedule of pipe – should this be two separate options? Does installing the pipe include the pressure test even when someone else may do the final connections?

Response. The Option Item for the 2” Dia. Buried Schedule 80 PVC Pipe or HPDE DR17 Pipe includes installation of the pipe, final connections, pressures tests, and leakage tests / observations in accordance with American Water Works Association (AWWA) standards and protocols for pipe installations.

Note, if the Transmission Pipeline Option Items are not exercised and awarded at Contract Award, the USFWS and Refuge may decide to perform the Transmission Pipeline installation in-house, but the Design/Build Contractor would continue to be responsible for establishing all piping final connections under Task 4, which is an Option Item.

Refer to Task 4 – Transmission Pipeline for the Following Description:

“This TASK includes Transmission Pipeline Final Connections. Connections ONLY.

The piping and accessory items to include mechanical joints, couplers, etc. will only be supplied and installed if the Option Items from the Bid Schedule and 50% Construction Documents are exercised and awarded.”

The Option Item for the Transmission Pipeline: Trenching and Backfill includes the excavation for the entire length of Transmission Pipeline. Note, the Transmission Pipeline varies in diameter across the length and converts to a branching pipe system downstream of the below ground water storage tanks.

The pipeline diameter ranges in size from 2” up to 4”. Estimated length of Transmission Pipeline is approximately 3.3 miles (Field Verify).

For changing pipe materials, there is an Option Item for “Price Increase for Changing from PVC Schedule 80 to HDPE DR17 Pipe.

Question #7

Option Item 3” Dia Buried Schedule 80 PVC Pipe or HDPE DRI Pipe – Same question as item above.

Response. Refer to Question No. 6 for a response. The Trenching and Backfill is included under a separate Option Item for the Transmission Pipeline.

Question #8

Option Item 4” Dia Buried Schedule 80 PVC Pipe or HDPE DRI Pipe – Same question as items above.

Response. Refer to Question No. 6 for a response. The Trenching and Backfill is included under a separate Option Item for the Transmission Pipeline.

Question #9

Regarding the potable water piping in the two houses – Will a historic building permit be required?

Response. I am not sure if there is an actual historic building permit, but the USFWS, Refuge, and Design/Build Contractor in collaboration and partnership, have to coordinate work activities with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Cultural Resources Office during remaining, planning, design, and through construction and obtain a Final Authorization and Recommendations for Cultural Resource Compliance. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Cultural Resources Office and State Historic Preservation Office, would determine the actual requirements for the re-plumbing project as it relates to preservation of historic architecture. The USFWS has already initiated the conversation and review with USFWS Cultural Resources as a starting point.

Question #10

Regarding Task 4 – Connections only? Are these final connections to the water storage tanks, water treatment building and Valet Springs only?

Response. No, to clarify, it would be final connections for water storage tanks, water treatment building, Valet Spring box, and each point of connection for the entire length of piping installed for this project. Basically, all points of connection in the system. For example, it would include joints in the Transmission Pipelines’ length.

Question #11

Are crews allowed to put a self-contained trailer in the compound, hook to water and electric and stay on site?

Response. I believe the Refuge would be okay with this, but this should be confirmed with the Refuge Complex Manager, Refuge Manager, and Assistant Refuge Manager.

Question #12

Regarding Task Item 5 – Storage Tanks – We assume this means supply and set in place. Does this include the excavation and backfill?

Response. Yes, this includes all items required for supply, setting, and installation of the Storage Tanks including all required excavation, placement of fill, backfill, and compaction in lifts up to finish grade.

Question #13

Regarding Task Item 6 – Distribution Piping – Is this the piping in the USFW compound only?

Response. Yes, the Distribution Piping is all piping within the Refuge Headquarters yard located directly downstream from the Water Distribution House. This includes installation of new piping up to each buildings’ point of connection located approximately 5-Feet beyond each building’s perimeter foundation. Note, the 50% Construction Documents do not show this replacement of the piping up to each building’s point of connection, but this is what the USFWS (Owner) requests for pricing.

Question #14

Regarding general requirement costs – The way the price schedule is set up, the General Requirements cost would only be for the base bid items, Treatment Building, site electric and instrumentation work, the remainder would be spread over the additive items and the option items. Would this be correct?

Response. Yes, this is correct. The General Requirement costs for the Option Items should be distributed across the Option Items.

Question #15

We're supposed to send in a bid bond on Form SF24-16d but the only form that can be found is just a Form SF24?

Response. Any version of the SF24 will work as long as it’s a bid bond.

WATER SYSTEM UPGRADES

B. The outage plans shall be submitted to the OWNER for acceptance a minimum of 1 week in advance of the time that such outages are required. The outage plans shall be coordinated with the construction schedule and shall meet the restrictions and conditions of this Section and Section 01 11 00.

C. The CONTRACTOR shall not begin an alteration affecting existing facilities until specific written approval has been granted by the OWNER in each case.

D. The OWNER will coordinate the CONTRACTOR's planned procedure with the refuge personnel. The OWNER has the authority to modify any proposed shutdown procedures if such procedures would adversely impact the refuge operations.

E. The OWNER shall be notified in writing at least one week in advance of the required outage if the schedule for performing the WORK has changed or if revisions to the outage plan are required. The CONTRACTOR shall provide written confirmation of the shutdown date and time a minimum of two (2) Days prior to the actual shutdown.

1.5 CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCING

A. Construction activities shall be scheduled and sequenced to ensure continuous operation of the existing water system outside of scheduled outages. The CONTRACTOR's scheduling shall develop construction sequencing so that the WORK will be performed with minimal interruption to the headquarters water supply. The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for development of the construction sequencing. In implementing the construction sequencing, the CONTRACTOR shall maintain the existing facilities in service until new facilities are constructed and are operational.

When new facilities are operational, the existing facilities may be taken out of service.

The following general guidelines shall be used by the CONTRACTOR in planning the sequence of construction.

1. Safe working conditions for personnel shall be maintained during rehabilitation, modification, and demolition WORK. The foregoing includes at least proper trench excavation, the provision of temporary equipment guards, supports, warning signs, walkways, covers over openings, handrailing, and protection of electrical equipment and power supply.

2. Temporary facilities shall be constructed in accordance with applicable codes and regulations to operate safely and properly.

3. Valves to be temporarily shut off during the WORK shall be tagged as such and shall be wired shut and padlocked.

4. Electrical and mechanical equipment shall be similarly shut down.

1.6 CONSTRUCTION PHASING

The CONTRACTOR shall coordinate the construction phasing with the OWNER at the preconstruction meeting, and will be subject to OWNER approval.

USFWS – HART MTN NAR DOMESTIC AND UTILITY PAGE 01 14 00 - 3

WATER SYSTEM UPGRADES

B. The construction phasing proposed in the steps below are to inform the CONTRACTOR of the ENGINEER’s design development process. This shall not dictate the CONTACTOR’s means and methods. Construction activities shall be scheduled and sequenced to ensure continuous operation of the water system to the greatest extent possible. CONTRACTOR shall submit construction sequencing and outage plan for OWNER and ENGINEER approval.

C. Proposed Phasing:

1. Construct Storage Tanks – Precast concrete potable water and utility water storage tanks shall be installed and tested along with all local piping connections and valves. The storage tanks shall be constructed off-line without disturbance to the existing raw water line.

2. Construct 6,700-foot Raw Water Line – The upper 6,700-foot raw water line from the storage tanks to Valet Spring may then be constructed and tested either in the same pipe trench with the existing pipes, or in a parallel trench depending on OWNER’s bid option elections. This raw water line will be constructed off-line, while the existing pipes continue to provide water to the headquarters complex.

3. Construct 3,700-foot Potable and Utility Water Lines – Downstream of the storage tanks, the new potable and utility water lines will be installed to the downstream extent of the existing asbestos cement pipe, estimated at about 3,700 feet. These will be installed either in the same pipe trench as the existing pipe, or in a parallel trench depending on OWNER’s bid option elections.

4. OUTAGE 1 – Pipe Connections – The first outage to the headquarters complex will be utilized to make the necessary pipe connections to the new pipeline at Valet Spring, and to provide a temporary connection of the utility water pipe to the existing 3” raw water pipe to the headquarters complex. The utility water system would then be brought on-line, and the utility water tanks would be allowed to fill.

5. Valet Spring Modifications – To perform modifications to the Valet Spring collection box, the spring can be isolated from the pipeline at the isolation valve, and water can continue to be supplied to the headquarters complex from the utility water storage tank for approximately 2-4 days depending on water usage. After modifications to the collection box are complete, the isolation valve may be opened and the utility water tank can fill.

6. Construct Remaining 7,030-foot Potable and Utility Water Lines – The remainder of the potable and utility water lines will then be constructed from the initial construction to the water treatment building. Water to the complex will continue to be supplied during this construction via the utility water tanks and temporary connection to the existing pipeline.

7. Construct the Water Treatment Building and Distribution Piping – The water treatment building construction and the majority of the distribution piping in the yard may then be completed while water continues to be supplied through the existing distribution network.

WATER SYSTEM UPGRADES

8. OUTAGE 2 – Yard Pipe Connections – The second outage to the headquarters complex will be utilized to make all distribution system connections in the yard, to demolish the utility water pipe temporary connection to the existing pipeline, and to make the connection from the utility water tank to the new utility water pipe down to the complex. This may be performed with several crews to expedite the process and mitigate the outage time.

9. Demolition of the Existing Water Distribution House – Once all connections have been made, and the existing water distribution house is now isolated from the new potable and utility water systems, the existing water distribution house may be demolished, along with any appurtenances, and the void will be backfilled.

10. Commissioning of the New System – Concurrently, the new potable water system may be commissioned, including commissioning of the new water treatment infrastructure and shock chlorination of the distribution system. While this is being performed, water could still be procured from the utility water system under a boil water notice, until the potable water system is brought fully on-line.

WATER SYSTEM UPGRADES

D. Following acceptance of the detailed Schedule of Values, the CONTRACTOR shall incorporate the values into the cost loading portion of the CPM Schedule. The CPM activities and logic shall have been developed concurrent with development of the detailed Schedule of Values; however, it shall be necessary to adjust the detailed Schedule of Values to correlate to individual Schedule activities. It is anticipated that instances will occur, due to the independent but simultaneous development of the Schedule of Values and the CPM Schedule activities, where interfacing these 2 documents will require changes to each document. Schedule activities may need to be added to accommodate the detail of the Schedule of Values. Schedule of Value items may need to be added to accommodate the detail of the CPM Schedule activities.

Where such instances arise, the CONTRACTOR shall propose changes to the Schedule of Values and to the CPM Schedule activities to satisfy the CPM Schedule cost loading requirements.

1.3 CROSS REFERENCE LISTING

A. To assist in the correlation of the Schedule of Values and the CPM Schedule, the CONTRACTOR shall provide a Cross Reference Listing which shall be furnished in 2 parts. The first part shall list each Scheduled Activity with the breakdown of the respective valued items making up the total cost of the activity. The second part shall list the valued item with the respective Scheduled Activity or Activities that make up the total cost indicated. In the case where a number of schedule items make up the total cost for a valued item (shown in the Schedule of Values) the total cost for each scheduled item should be indicated.

B. These listings shall be updated and submitted in conjunction with the CPM monthly submittals.

C. Approved change orders reflected in the CPM Schedule shall be incorporated into the Schedule of Values as a single unit identified by the change order number.

1.4 CHANGES TO SCHEDULE OF VALUES

A. Changes to the CPM Schedule which add activities not included in the original schedule but included in the original WORK (schedule omissions) shall have values assigned as approved by the OWNER. Other activity values shall be reduced to provide equal value adjustment increases for added activities as approved by the OWNER.

B. In the event that the CONTRACTOR and OWNER agree to make adjustments to the original Schedule of Values because of inequities discovered in the original accepted detailed Schedule of Values, increases and equal decreases to values for activities may be made.
