Amendment P00001 - SC--FWS HARRIS NECK NWR

PPR2122894_LR 4 URGENT: R4-SC-SAVANNAH

COASTAL-IEGHN-Replace Harris Neck Floating Dock

** - Answers and Clarifications to Questions

1. Question: Attachment 2 (Price Schedule) includes a ¿Tear Down/Debris Removal¿ line item that is not described in the Scope of Work

(Attachment 1), and does not appear as a separate line in the base RFQ schedule. Does this line refer to removal of an existing dock structure, or to construction debris/packaging cleanup already covered under SOW §5.8? Please confirm which document governs.

1a. Answer: There¿s a dock that¿s made of wood that goes under the ramp and that will need to be removed and an Al replacement installed. and then there¿s a wooden floating dock that¿s attached on the side and FWS will remove that floating dock before the awarded vendor gets there over, to another location so that won't be a problem. Vendor will need to tear out the boards on the section that they're going to replace and I think I put in there that we would take care of the debris ourselves, so

They'll just need to remove it, but we (FWS) will haul it off.

2. Question: Attachment 4 (Wage

Determination 2015-5737) is scoped to Jasper

County, South Carolina. Given the place of performance is McIntosh County, Georgia, does this wage determination govern installation labor rates for this contract, or should offerors expect a different wage determination or no SCA labor rate applicability given the firm-fixed-price supply-and-install structure?

2a. Answer: The place of performance is as stated in the Statement of Work: Mclintosh

County Georgia. Correct Wage Determination is:

Service Contract Act WD # 2015-4479

3. Question: Tear down & removal ¿ Can you confirm the size, material (wood, plastic, aluminum), and approximate age of the existing dock being removed? This affects disposal cost

(C) and logistics.

3a. Answer: There will be tear down of an existing wooden ramp but FWS will haul the removed wood.

4. Question: Cleats ¿ The spec says "required cleats" but doesn't specify quantity. Can you confirm how many cleats are needed, or provide the existing dock layout so we can determine appropriate spacing?

4a. Answer: 12 total cleats are on the existing dock and this is the appropriate number on new install. 5 per side on long ends ad 2 on short ends.

5. Question: Pile installation ¿ Just to confirm: there is no new pile installation required on this project? The new dock sections will connect to existing piles only?

5a. Answer: This is correct. No new pile installation should be required.

6. Question: Drawings or photos ¿ Do you have any photos or drawings of the existing dock system and boathouse we could reference prior to fabrication?

6a. Answer: Photos are attached, please download to view.

7 Question: . Engineering drawings ¿ The SOW references manufacturer product specifications and shop drawings "if available." We can provide standard manufacturer shop drawings as part of our submittal package. Can you confirm whether PE-stamped structural engineering drawings are also required, or if manufacturer shop drawings will satisfy the deliverable requirement?

7a. Answer: Standard shop drawings will be fine.

8. Solicitation due date is extended to:
