0:0:48.630 --> 0:0:49.670

You often see these?

0:0:49.880 --> 0:0:54.10

Umm, these uh park identifiers on our projects.

0:0:54.20 --> 0:0:58.830

Smith, Michael E

If you're not familiar with working with the National Park Service, this is this how we identify our projects.

0:0:59.40 --> 0:1:1.10

Smith, Michael E

This is the part Dry Tortugas.

0:1:1.20 --> 0:1:6.10

0:1:24.450 --> 0:1:34.980

Smith, Michael E

I'll go through our site layout and orientation, talk a little bit about our project background, our scope of work, our major areas of work and our key items.

0:1:35.70 --> 0:1:40.0

Smith, Michael E

And then our upcoming formal site visit and the planning for that and then I'll open it up.

0:1:40.10 --> 0:1:49.70

Smith, Michael E

As I said before, for some industry day questions that we'll try to address and then we'll conclude on how we can get access to all this information.

0:1:50.950 --> 0:1:52.880

So as I said, I'll go through introductions.

0:1:52.890 --> 0:1:53.900

Smith, Michael E

My name is Mike Smith.

0:1:53.910 --> 0:1:55.360

0:2:1.950 --> 0:2:9.660

Smith, Michael E

Our project specialist, Matt Schaefer, our designer of record HDR engineering, they're representative just Seiberg.

0:2:9.790 --> 0:2:18.470

Smith, Michael E

And then just for information purposes, we will have an on site construction management representative, which will be a third party company to be selected off the GSA.

0:2:21.820 --> 0:2:22.330

Smith, Michael E

Umm.

0:2:23.0 --> 0:2:26.610

Smith, Michael E

Are milestones that we you know that we're keeping for this solicitation.

0:2:26.620 --> 0:2:34.230

Smith, Michael E

We posted this solicitation back on June 26, so almost about a month ago today, we're holding the

Industry Day meeting.

0:2:34.240 --> 0:2:48.930

Smith, Michael E

This meeting is just, you know, gauge interest from the public and try to address as many questions as we can before we get to that formal site, visit our formal site visit is planned to be held on August 9th, 2023 at 11:00 AM.

0:2:49.180 --> 0:2:57.920

Smith, Michael E

I have another slide later in in these in this presentation discuss more of that because I know that will be a hot topic for getting out there.

0:2:58.770 --> 0:3:4.300

We're asking the pre bid request for information are all submitted by August 14th.

0:3:4.970 --> 0:3:19.600

Smith, Michael E

If you have you know pre bid rfis already ready, go ahead and start getting them in so we can get those addressed quickly because we're hoping we can turn those around in about four days time and get those posted via amendment August 18th.

0:3:20.450 --> 0:3:23.220

Smith, Michael E

Right now our proposal due date is August 25th.

0:3:23.230 --> 0:3:39.840

Smith, Michael E

We're hoping that hard due date and that does not need to be changed because we post we you know post this back in June 26, so roughly 60 days out there and we want to get this award at this fiscal year, although the funds do not expire.

0:3:40.50 --> 0:3:46.460

Smith, Michael E

We're just hoping we can get this awarded this fiscal year by September 15th as I had estimated up there on the slides.

0:3:46.850 --> 0:3:50.650

Smith, Michael E

This will be a 365 calendar day period of performance.

0:3:50.660 --> 0:3:56.370

Smith, Michael E

We're hoping we can issue that mobilization notice to proceed on numbers November 6, 2023.

0:3:56.700 --> 0:3:58.890

Smith, Michael E

This will be a firm fixed price contract.

0:3:59.260 --> 0:4:13.20

Smith, Michael E

It's being solicited under full and open competition reminder that if you are a large business, you must submit a subcontracting plan the next for this requirement is 237990 and the small business size standard for that is 45 million.

0:4:13.770 --> 0:4:18.960

Umm, just as you know, heads up the heads, the hub zone.

0:4:18.970 --> 0:4:23.210

Small business concern clause evaluation is included.

0:4:26.160 --> 0:4:40.730

Smith, Michael E

So some of the solicitation requirements that I wanna remind everyone when uh submitting a proposal is to ensure that you complete blocks 14 through 20 C and also acknowledge all amendments that we post.

0:4:40.740 --> 0:4:43.330

Smith, Michael E

I have already posted one amendment on sam.gov.

0:4:43.340 --> 0:4:48.330

Smith, Michael E

I'm probably going to be posting at least three or four more with the this industry day.

0:4:49.220 --> 0:4:54.380

Smith, Michael E

The site visit and the rfis and dependent on anything else that comes up.

0:4:54.460 --> 0:5:2.440

Smith, Michael E

Also remember to complete special requirements two and three for the key personnel and the key trades of the SF 1442.

0:5:3.10 --> 0:5:14.510

Smith, Michael E

Make sure you complete your section K of this 1442 and for the submission of the proposal, make sure you include a PDF copy separately for the technical proposal and the price proposal.

0:5:16.820 --> 0:5:32.620

Smith, Michael E

Are solicitation technical proposal requirements will be for the project, for the factors which are the project experience, key trade, technical approach, schedule management approach, past performance and then your small business participation.

0:5:34.830 --> 0:5:36.930

Smith, Michael E

Uh, I'm not going to read these slides verbatim.

0:5:36.940 --> 0:5:38.500

Smith, Michael E

This is what's in the solicitation.

0:5:38.510 --> 0:5:54.40

This is just a reminder for what the requirement for project experiences will be looking at anywhere from one to five projects that you're willing to submit from the past seven years that are similar in complexity and size of this current project.

0:5:54.50 --> 0:5:58.500

Smith, Michael E

Make sure they address your natural, cultural, or historic resources.

0:5:59.170 --> 0:6:13.160

Smith, Michael E

Your remote construction experience and your team experience with your subcontractors that you identify as key Subs, which is uh, and we are requesting that you are completing at least 30% of the cost of this contract excluding materials.

0:6:15.580 --> 0:6:20.770

Smith, Michael E

For the key trades, we're also accepting one to five projects from the last seven years.

0:6:20.780 --> 0:6:28.130

Smith, Michael E

We know there's gonna be a lot of complex requirements on this subcontracting's gonna most likely play a huge part.

0:6:29.180 --> 0:6:37.930

Smith, Michael E

So if you are subcontracting these projects, these sections, you may submit their project experience with the project experience forms.

0:6:37.940 --> 0:6:39.980

Smith, Michael E

It's included for these.

0:6:41.220 --> 0:6:46.210

Smith, Michael E

Reidentified sections of the work with the technical approach.

0:6:46.220 --> 0:6:46.670

Smith, Michael E

Please.

0:6:46.940 --> 0:7:7.510

Smith, Michael E

Identify your, you know, approach to the critical contract requirements that we've identified your means and methods for the masonary that you're reconstruction of the wall, the repairs of the undermined areas, the counter scarf damage, and make sure your technical approach really aligns with what your schedule was.

0:7:7.830 --> 0:7:10.900

I'm stating so you'll see coming up.

0:7:11.50 --> 0:7:18.920

We have schedule as another solicitation requirement, so make sure your technical approach and your schedule kind of complementing each other.

0:7:19.350 --> 0:7:28.750

Smith, Michael E

So there is also a narrative for your schedule where asking that your schedule requirements starts with the November 6th date that I estimated previously.

0:7:29.630 --> 0:7:45.400

Smith, Michael E

Umm for our mobilization, please provide an again chart for your schedule and then a A a schedule narrative that explains your approach to your contract, critical path items and your risk analysis.

0:7:45.410 --> 0:7:48.160

Smith, Michael E

So these are very important items for this project.

0:7:48.550 --> 0:7:52.670

Smith, Michael E

We know schedule and logistics is going to play a heavy part in completing this work.

0:7:54.680 --> 0:8:0.210

Smith, Michael E

Again, we are asking for a management approach as well, limited to 7 pages.

0:8:0.740 --> 0:8:18.960

Smith, Michael E

Logistic coordination process should be something you want to pay heavy attention to and spelling out in your management approach along with your roles and responsibilities and how you plan to gauge the owner, which is us, the SEC and the park and any other he member of the project.

0:8:22.390 --> 0:8:42.110

Smith, Michael E

Past performance for so for any of those projects, experience forms you complete for factors one and two, ensure that you're completing that past performance requirement or past Performance

Questionnaire as well for those projects or if you have a Peppers or CPARS for that already submitted in the system, you can just include the Peppers as backup for those experience forms.

0:8:44.940 --> 0:8:47.170

Smith, Michael E

Small business participation is required.

0:8:47.180 --> 0:8:55.880

Smith, Michael E

Small business participation will be given 100% for any small business concern that is submitting UM for those large business submitting.

0:8:55.890 --> 0:9:13.190

Ensure that you at least meet the 20% required to be submitted or be set aside for small business concerns on this project, and then anything meeting or above the standard of the UM subcontracting plan that is required.

0:9:13.200 --> 0:9:14.550

Smith, Michael E

We have goals in there.

0:9:14.600 --> 0:9:16.610

Smith, Michael E

Uh will be evaluated more favorably.

0:9:19.260 --> 0:9:23.910

Smith, Michael E

Uh, just require reminders for the price proposal and sure, you complete section B.

0:9:23.920 --> 0:9:32.510

Smith, Michael E

The contract price schedule and also provide a separate schedule of values for each line item of this section B contracts price schedule.

0:9:33.860 --> 0:9:42.290

Smith, Michael E

Also include as SF 24 bit bond along with general references and your small business subcontracting plan.

0:9:42.550 --> 0:9:52.180

Smith, Michael E

We've included a template for your subcontracting plan and the goals are included within and I'll talk a little bit more about those later or now.

0:9:52.270 --> 0:9:56.710

Smith, Michael E

Uh, our small business subcontracting plan is required for all large businesses.

0:9:56.720 --> 0:10:1.460

Smith, Michael E

You can kind of see what how we've laid out our goals to 44.8% is what we're aiming for.

0:10:1.520 --> 0:10:2.710

Smith, Michael E

Small business in general.

0:10:3.560 --> 0:10:21.910

Small disadvantage is 5% women owned is 5%, hub zone is 3%, service disabled veteran is 3% and then what we call SB or Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises or 3% our basis for the award for this contract will be as a best value.

0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:24.550

Smith, Michael E

So we're not using lowest price technically acceptable.

0:10:24.560 --> 0:10:35.60

Smith, Michael E

We are using best value based on those technical factors that just laid out and they are listed in just descending order from most important to least important.

0:10:37.460 --> 0:11:0.670

Smith, Michael E

Umm, we'll assemble a TEP uh after proposals are due or tap panel will evaluate you based on those factors we spelled out in the solicitation under L&M and then we will hopefully not have to enter into to discussion since we are getting our proposals and August 25th.

0:11:0.680 --> 0:11:2.890

Smith, Michael E

So we want to get that award out this fiscal year.

0:11:2.900 --> 0:11:6.640

Smith, Michael E

We wanna enter into a war without discussions.

0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:16.590

Smith, Michael E

Again, our technical factors are in descending order from one through 5 of order of importance.

0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:21.30

Smith, Michael E

Past performance is less important than all technical factors are combined.

0:11:21.940 --> 0:11:28.90

Smith, Michael E

Proposed pricing is significantly less important than the technical factors or is it's worded.

0:11:28.260 --> 0:11:32.650

Smith, Michael E

The technical factors combined are all significantly more important than the price.

0:11:33.650 --> 0:11:36.680

Smith, Michael E

Again, this will be rewarded under the best value, not lowest price.

0:11:36.690 --> 0:11:39.320

Technically acceptable are optional.

0:11:39.330 --> 0:11:53.190

Line items are line items 4 through 9 which are included to be unilaterally executed within 90 calendar days after award offers must provide at least 45 calendar days for government acceptance of their proposal.

0:11:56.740 --> 0:12:0.830

Smith, Michael E

Submit a minimum of an offer that conforms with the solicitation documents.

0:12:1.160 --> 0:12:5.810

Smith, Michael E

Proposals that have alternates will not be considered or accepted.

0:12:6.20 --> 0:12:10.550

Smith, Michael E

If you would like to propose an alternative, please do so in the form of a pre bid request.

0:12:10.560 --> 0:12:19.630

Smith, Michael E

For information prior to the formal submission in the proposal, just remind her any firm that participated in the design.

0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:27.980

Smith, Michael E

So any HDR engineering or any of their subcontractors who participated in this design cannot compete in the construction award.

0:12:30.210 --> 0:12:33.990

Smith, Michael E

I'm going to go ahead and actually turn it over to our project manager for this section.

0:12:34.0 --> 0:12:40.740

Smith, Michael E

They're going to walk us through our project logistics and uh, you know, our project background, Chrissy.

0:12:42.740 --> 0:12:45.540

Roe, Christine L

Thanks so here.

0:12:45.550 --> 0:12:51.560

Roe, Christine L

Umm, just orientation map for Jefferson is located on the island of garden.

0:12:51.570 --> 0:12:57.500

Roe, Christine L

Key you can see it there in red on both of the maps, which is about 70 miles West of Key West.

0:12:57.950 --> 0:12:58.450

Next slide.

0:13:1.450 --> 0:13:4.30

Roe, Christine L

The little project background orientation.

0:13:4.810 --> 0:13:9.680

Roe, Christine L

This view shows the East and SE fronts of felt of Fort Jefferson.

0:13:10.110 --> 0:13:16.260

Roe, Christine L

You see the South cooling dock and main dock on the left and then on the right you see the North cooling dock.

0:13:16.350 --> 0:13:20.230

Roe, Christine L

The large green area in front is called Bush Key, and that's not in the project.

0:13:21.390 --> 0:13:28.560

Roe, Christine L

Uh for Jefferson is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and it is managed as a cultural resource for the MPs.

0:13:28.970 --> 0:13:37.650

Roe, Christine L

This historic significance extends for the entire site that includes buildings engineering features, landscape marine construction next.

0:13:41.990 --> 0:13:46.700

Roe, Christine L

So this photo it's a good view of the Fort and interior parade grounds.

0:13:47.30 --> 0:13:53.20

Roe, Christine L

We're looking at the West and southwest sides, which is front two and 3/4 Jefferson.

0:13:53.510 --> 0:14:5.880

Roe, Christine L

The main doc finger slips and peers and South cooling dock are located on the right hand side on the front, so the outer brick wall of the mote the counter scarp is the sea wall surrounding the Fort.

0:14:6.310 --> 0:14:16.930

Roe, Christine L

It both protects the Fort from the Ocean's energy, and it's very popular feature for visitors with The

Walking and snorkeling, and we'll be focusing a lot on that on this project.

0:14:17.540 --> 0:14:22.650

As you can see, the section of the collapsed counter score of wall is in the front left.

0:14:22.940 --> 0:14:24.190

Roe, Christine L

There's a breach in the wall.

0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:25.550

Roe, Christine L

Yeah, right there.

0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:35.940

Roe, Christine L

And then you can see one of the main dredging areas on the right hand side, it's all that sand that's in the mode in the front right next.

0:14:38.990 --> 0:14:46.40

Roe, Christine L

So here's a plan view of Port Jefferson, and one indicates the main doc.

0:14:46.50 --> 0:14:54.200

Roe, Christine L

It's on the lower right side on the southeast, area 2 is the proposed barge landing access area, again in the southeast.

0:14:54.870 --> 0:14:58.760

Roe, Christine L

Section 3 is the North cooling dock.

0:14:58.810 --> 0:15:6.680

Roe, Christine L

That's a staging area, or half of it is a stationary will be a staging area, 4 on the left side.

0:15:6.750 --> 0:15:10.0

Roe, Christine L

That's the breached wall section that's on front 3.

0:15:11.30 --> 0:15:14.220

Roe, Christine L

5 indicates dredging areas.

0:15:14.410 --> 0:15:14.830

Roe, Christine L

There is that.

0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:16.700

That's the north up there.

0:15:16.790 --> 0:15:22.0

Then on the bottom, there's the other two fives that there's the.

0:15:22.70 --> 0:15:24.640

Roe, Christine L

Yeah, right there are the finger Piers and slips.

0:15:24.650 --> 0:15:32.980

Roe, Christine L

And then the other area in the mode U and then let's see what we have 6 and there's four, you know?

0:15:33.290 --> 0:15:37.300

Roe, Christine L

Yeah, there's four main fronts or there are four fronts that we're doing.

0:15:37.410 --> 0:15:39.620

Roe, Christine L

Repairs to the counter scarf wall.

0:15:41.60 --> 0:15:48.730

Roe, Christine L

That's France, two to five that mikes pointing to, and then just seven in the center is the pre grounds in the center of the Fort.

0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:51.200

Roe, Christine L

Next slide.

0:15:54.370 --> 0:15:58.780

Roe, Christine L

So scope of work, you know, they're really like 2 main scopes of work.

0:15:58.790 --> 0:16:9.900

Roe, Christine L

One is repairs to the Fort Jefferson counter scope wall, which includes rebuilding the clap section while repairs to the counter scarp on all four fronts or on forefronts.

0:16:9.910 --> 0:16:25.510

Roe, Christine L

Of the six, it's the top of the wall interior remote side of the wall exterior ocean side of the wall, and the core in a few areas, as well as addressing underwater voids and rip rap to reinforce a few selected areas.

0:16:26.30 --> 0:16:38.210

Roe, Christine L

And then the other main work is dredging, sifting and placement of the dredging material, and the volume is about 3000 cubic yards.

0:16:41.50 --> 0:16:41.810

Next slide.

0:16:43.500 --> 0:16:55.100

Roe, Christine L

Ohh and now I was gonna hand over the next two slides to just Siah who is from HDR, just to talk about a little more technical on some of the repairs to the counter scarp wall.

0:16:58.100 --> 0:16:58.510

Berg, Josiah

OK, great.

0:16:58.520 --> 0:16:59.130

Berg, Josiah

Thank you, Chrissy.

0:17:0.100 --> 0:17:0.520

Berg, Josiah

Umm.

0:17:0.840 --> 0:17:3.960

Berg, Josiah

So as mentioned, there's potentially 2.

0:17:5.200 --> 0:17:10.60

Berg, Josiah

I mean portions of work on the project.

0:17:10.300 --> 0:17:19.110

Berg, Josiah

I'll talk about the first one, which which comprises of repairs to the counter scarf structure.

0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:27.130

Berg, Josiah

There's a number of deep texts that were identified in previous, umm inspections investigations.

0:17:28.180 --> 0:17:28.730

Berg, Josiah

Umm.

0:17:29.100 --> 0:17:38.840

Berg, Josiah

And listen those out here and on this sheet, which is actually part of the construction drawing package, you guys like they downloaded by now.

0:17:39.670 --> 0:17:48.740

Berg, Josiah

I'm first defect type is a loss of walkway for surface concrete surface on the counter scarf.

0:17:50.210 --> 0:17:52.960

This is not a defect.

0:17:52.970 --> 0:18:1.730

Berg, Josiah

That's because consistent through all the entire color script, but there are areas where where there are sections that have that we're lost.

0:18:2.280 --> 0:18:3.580

Berg, Josiah

And need to get repaired or replaced.

0:18:4.430 --> 0:18:6.630

Berg, Josiah

Umm, next to you that time?

0:18:7.260 --> 0:18:17.540

Berg, Josiah

Uh, actually, the two two next week that types, umm, are essentially repairs to the brick facade of both

Bove and below the water.

0:18:19.70 --> 0:18:21.630

Berg, Josiah

And I think that is you 2 examples of that right here.

0:18:23.990 --> 0:18:35.420

Berg, Josiah

The obviously the the the repairs to to masonry above water are fairly straightforward, but there's gonna be a good bit more technical.

0:18:37.730 --> 0:18:42.710

Berg, Josiah

Requirements here for the blow water as far as how that work gets completed.

0:18:45.130 --> 0:18:53.540

Berg, Josiah

Umm, the next feedback type, which involves some existing scar pits or undermining them in the structure.

0:18:53.790 --> 0:18:54.280

Berg, Josiah

Connor square.

0:18:55.520 --> 0:19:8.320

Berg, Josiah

Those have been identified in the construction, drawings and plan view area umm, and that that will require replacement of that feel beneath the college group.

0:19:11.330 --> 0:19:32.930

Umm, the last defect you identified on on this sheet is what what we're referring to as core damage and what what it appears is that the counter scarp is starting to it's starting to fracture and and split down the center.

0:19:32.940 --> 0:19:41.970

Berg, Josiah

So we consider that the the core of this structure and some bracing will be required to to shore that up and and maintain stability.

0:19:44.40 --> 0:19:44.480

Berg, Josiah

Umm.

0:19:45.100 --> 0:20:0.570

Berg, Josiah

Last but not least, at the top rate photo, this slide is is Christy mentioned earlier, there is a structure that that actually has completely failed and collapsed that will require removal of the debris and reconstruction of that of that section terribly.

0:20:2.210 --> 0:20:7.760

Berg, Josiah

And then the last best bottom slide here is to view the counter scarf and some of the varying conditions.

0:20:7.820 --> 0:20:9.740

Berg, Josiah

It's next slide.

0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:23.150

Berg, Josiah

As mentioned, the kind of second bucket of work on the project is is the maintenance stretching and there's kind of three narrative 3 main errors that need to get addressed.

0:20:24.60 --> 0:20:50.180

Berg, Josiah

The North and South portions of the Mote, and if you can manage your back on the plan view of the of the site, the North mode is essentially the North East corner of the site or bastion to five, and the South

Note is the southwest corner probation number. Fashion #1.

0:20:51.380 --> 0:20:53.640

Berg, Josiah

Umm, the finger pears?

0:20:55.140 --> 0:21:1.280

Of course it as they, as they suggest, are our docs, existing docs on site.

0:21:2.120 --> 0:21:13.960

Umm that some of the areas between them have have showed in and those require said maintenance dredging to restore birth access to Park Service and and visitors.

0:21:16.210 --> 0:21:41.960

Berg, Josiah

Umm, as described in the construction drawings and specifications, the intent removal of all this material has been has been fairly easily laid out and as far as where specific locations need to get get placed and filled and how that material is is sorted, sifted clean.

0:21:42.150 --> 0:21:42.660

Berg, Josiah

What have you?

0:21:44.170 --> 0:21:47.50

Berg, Josiah

Of course, if you have any questions with that, you know it's Christy mentioned earlier.

0:21:48.430 --> 0:21:50.350

Berg, Josiah

Pleased to submit that in the RFI process.

0:21:56.940 --> 0:21:57.180

Roe, Christine L

Yep.

0:21:52.840 --> 0:21:57.340

Berg, Josiah

Umm, Chris, I believe I'm done with this slide, so if you wanna take over.

0:21:58.70 --> 0:21:58.940

Roe, Christine L

I'll take over now.

0:21:58.950 --> 0:22:4.560

Roe, Christine L

So I'm just wanna hit on a few key items.

0:22:5.150 --> 0:22:8.380

Roe, Christine L

You know, schedules always very important.

0:22:8.470 --> 0:22:16.750

Roe, Christine L

Wanna point out some of the compliance and environmental restrictions that we have on site one, we have the city turn nesting season.

0:22:16.760 --> 0:22:18.660

That's February 1st through 30th.

0:22:18.990 --> 0:22:21.200

Roe, Christine L

No work may take place on Isthmus.

0:22:21.210 --> 0:22:23.170

Roe, Christine L

Connecting garden and Bush keys.

0:22:23.940 --> 0:22:27.210

Roe, Christine L

Then there's the loggerhead turtle nesting season.

0:22:27.280 --> 0:22:31.0

Roe, Christine L

Really important to know about May 1st is September 30th.

0:22:31.50 --> 0:22:51.540

Roe, Christine L

No work may take place on or near the indicative beaches, including excavation, material handling, storage, vessel landing, any activities that disturb the beach, and so you know this one really associates with dredging, no dredging can take or dredging needs to take place out of this period.

0:22:52.420 --> 0:22:58.810

Roe, Christine L

Then we have the Atlantic hurricane season, typically June 1st to November 30th.

0:22:58.820 --> 0:23:6.280

Roe, Christine L

You know, I'm sure everyone's aware of that, but just contractors do need to be prepared to comply with park emergency storm procedures.

0:23:7.240 --> 0:23:20.730

Roe, Christine L

And one other thing, that's not a requirement, and it's not a compliance issue that relates to schedule as, but it is an MPs preference to have repairs to that breached wall completed in the first half of the schedule.

0:23:21.200 --> 0:23:28.590

Roe, Christine L

And you know what kind of hitting items right here that are that environmental ones we know schedules's gonna be critical.

0:23:28.700 --> 0:23:35.550

You know, logistics for the island is difficult and tricky and we do have all of these compliance issues.

0:23:35.560 --> 0:23:44.840

So just schedule is going to be a big part of this project and then jumping to coordination there is limited housing.

0:23:45.110 --> 0:23:46.740

Roe, Christine L

It's the cruise quarters.

0:23:46.750 --> 0:23:48.520

Roe, Christine L

It's sleeps 10 people.

0:23:48.770 --> 0:24:4.580

Roe, Christine L

That is in the specifications with all the details and we just wanna make contractors aware that, you know, there's always challenges maintaining a historic Fort and utility systems, sometimes they can't breakdown, then they get fixed.

0:24:5.330 --> 0:24:6.810

Roe, Christine L

Just wanna throw it out there.

0:24:6.820 --> 0:24:8.140

Roe, Christine L

That that's there.

0:24:8.790 --> 0:24:12.150

Roe, Christine L

They're available and typically used for construction projects.

0:24:12.860 --> 0:24:15.250

Roe, Christine L

There is limited use of the main dock.

0:24:15.920 --> 0:24:19.730

Roe, Christine L

You need to coordinate with the park unavailability and times a use.

0:24:19.740 --> 0:24:22.620

Roe, Christine L

It's a busy doc through the Yankee freedom.

0:24:22.630 --> 0:24:31.430

Roe, Christine L

We have the park, we have the Coast Guard, even though a lot of vessels using that space, there's limited areas for mooring and anchoring of vessels.

0:24:31.730 --> 0:24:48.580

So again, there's, you know, the need for coordinating with the park and reference the benthic survey for areas their own won't be any groundbreaking activities that will take place until all the government provided permanent seeing.

0:24:48.640 --> 0:24:57.150

Roe, Christine L

As in hand to the contractor right now, we have two final permits, the core and FDP.

0:24:57.500 --> 0:25:5.590

Roe, Christine L

We expect to get those back late September, but those need to be in hand before any construction starts.

0:25:6.360 --> 0:25:9.710

Roe, Christine L

Umm, just pointing out for specifications.

0:25:9.720 --> 0:25:12.470

Roe, Christine L

There's preconstruction assessment and survey required.

0:25:12.980 --> 0:25:24.10

Roe, Christine L

And lastly, we have this on all of our projects, just contractors shall conduct operations to ensure the least inconvenience to the public and the park we all expect to work together as a team.

0:25:24.70 --> 0:25:32.340

Roe, Christine L

You know, lots of moving pieces on every construction project and the best projects are the ones with full coordination with everyone.

0:25:33.800 --> 0:25:35.470

Roe, Christine L

No, I think we're going back to you, Mike.

0:25:36.530 --> 0:25:37.20

Smith, Michael E

Yep.

0:25:37.390 --> 0:25:37.660

Smith, Michael E

Yeah.

0:25:37.670 --> 0:25:38.200

Thanks Christy.

0:25:38.210 --> 0:25:38.890

Thanks Josiah.

0:25:39.890 --> 0:25:44.310

Smith, Michael E

I I wanna talk a little bit about the the formal site visit.

0:25:44.400 --> 0:25:48.330

Smith, Michael E

Most of the pre bid RFI I've gotten so far have been about the uh.

0:25:48.380 --> 0:25:57.890

Smith, Michael E

The formal site visit, so I I wanted to put a few slides in here to address some of those questions and hopefully points you guys in the right direction.

0:25:57.900 --> 0:26:9.770

Smith, Michael E

So the formal site visit will be held on August 9th is starting at 11:00 AM Eastern Time meet no earlier than 10:45 Eastern Time at the Garden Key Main Doc.

0:26:10.630 --> 0:26:11.0

Smith, Michael E

Umm.

0:26:11.10 --> 0:26:18.760

Smith, Michael E

If you're interested in coming to the formal site, visit, please register to me by August 4th, 2023.

0:26:19.480 --> 0:26:27.920

Smith, Michael E

Umm, you're limited to two participants per the visit, and I'll talk a little bit more about the logistics of getting out there.

0:26:28.830 --> 0:26:34.990

Smith, Michael E

Uh, understand that transportation to and from the site location must be self provided.

0:26:36.450 --> 0:26:45.240

Smith, Michael E

The park and the Park Service will not be transporting UM anybody for the site visit uh, even ourselves, going out for the site visit.

0:26:45.250 --> 0:26:46.340

We're taking the ferry.

0:26:46.730 --> 0:26:56.680

We did share the Yankee Freedom ferry information, but now it is our understanding that the Yankee

Freedom Fairy is full for the date August 9th.

0:26:57.430 --> 0:26:59.480

Smith, Michael E

I don't know if you can.

0:26:59.580 --> 0:27:5.620

Smith, Michael E

You know, if someone cancels, if you can put yourself on standby or anything like that and keep freedoms operated by it.

0:27:6.0 --> 0:27:11.60

Smith, Michael E

But a third party that we don't have control over, so you can reach out and contact them.

0:27:11.70 --> 0:27:12.510

Smith, Michael E

I've provided their information.

0:27:12.520 --> 0:27:13.770

Smith, Michael E

I have their information as well.

0:27:13.780 --> 0:27:20.490

Smith, Michael E

Further down, we're also providing information for the Key West C plane that does charters out to the island.

0:27:21.260 --> 0:27:28.830

Smith, Michael E

Uh, you can find their website here and I'll this these slides will be shared and this information will also be provided in the updated amendment.

0:27:28.840 --> 0:27:34.650

Smith, Michael E

I'm planning on probably tomorrow or no later than Thursday.

0:27:36.10 --> 0:27:38.580

Smith, Michael E

Well, you may also provide your own private charters.

0:27:39.60 --> 0:27:58.220

Smith, Michael E

UM and I believe if you have, you know, a of your own, or if you're a company owns about you can you can go out there yourself and anchor or more and attend the site visit like that we are asking and umm for those who have already registered, I'll be sending this out.

0:27:58.540 --> 0:28:4.370

If you are gonna be sent attending the site visit, we're asking that you complete the form.

0:28:5.220 --> 0:28:6.770

Smith, Michael E

The website will be provided.

0:28:7.100 --> 0:28:21.650

Smith, Michael E

It has like 6 or 7 questions on the purpose of your visit, I should go back umm but uh, this complete the form that you're coming out there for the site visit for August 9th.

0:28:22.180 --> 0:28:26.110

Smith, Michael E

If you have any questions when going through the form, don't hesitate to ask me.

0:28:26.180 --> 0:28:32.450

Smith, Michael E

I'll provide this when you either register or or if you've already registered, I'll provide it in the current calendar.

0:28:32.460 --> 0:28:35.870

Smith, Michael E

Invite that's standing, and I also provided via email.

0:28:37.910 --> 0:28:41.280

Smith, Michael E

Ohm again, this is the Yankee freedom information.

0:28:41.570 --> 0:28:48.700

Smith, Michael E

Again, I I it's my understanding they are full, but if you want to reach out to them, here's their website.

0:28:49.350 --> 0:28:55.960

Smith, Michael E

If you've already signed up for the Yankee Freedom, here's their information for reminders of that day.

0:28:56.30 --> 0:28:57.540

Smith, Michael E

You know check in by 7.

0:28:57.550 --> 0:28:58.660

Smith, Michael E

Bored by 7:30?

0:28:58.670 --> 0:28:59.800

It's departing by 8.

0:28:59.990 --> 0:29:2.490

You guys should be out there by 10:30.

0:29:2.590 --> 0:29:6.970

Smith, Michael E

Again, we're not meeting for the site visit no earlier than 1045.

0:29:7.720 --> 0:29:14.730

Smith, Michael E

Umm, you guys most likely will miss the, uh, the Fort Jefferson Tour, but you guys will be coming on the site visit with us.

0:29:15.290 --> 0:29:20.700

Smith, Michael E

Umm, so that's where estimating no longer than the 3:00 PM departure.

0:29:20.710 --> 0:29:24.570

Smith, Michael E

So we'll guys will have you guys back to the Yankee freedom by that 3:00 PM departure.

0:29:25.540 --> 0:29:26.20

Smith, Michael E

Umm.

0:29:26.920 --> 0:29:31.500

Smith, Michael E

And I'm going to go into, uh, the questions next.

0:29:31.510 --> 0:29:35.930

Smith, Michael E

So I imagine there will probably be questions so I can go back to the slides if needed.

0:29:35.940 --> 0:29:46.970

Smith, Michael E

But before we hop into questions, I'm I'm gonna ask that if you have a question, raise your hand or just type it into the chat.

0:29:47.410 --> 0:29:47.820

Smith, Michael E

Umm.

0:29:47.830 --> 0:30:7.660

Smith, Michael E

And if I call on, you know, state your name and the company you're with and then your question and if you're asking more than just a clarification on any of these slides, I also ask that you also submit that question formally to myself and the contracting Officer, John Babcock, and you can see our emails here.

0:30:7.890 --> 0:30:15.870

They're also included on this list citation information, so I'm going to go ahead and start looking back at teams and uh, see if we have any questions.

0:30:15.930 --> 0:30:16.90

Smith, Michael E

It's.

0:30:24.610 --> 0:30:26.740

Smith, Michael E

It's like we got radio silence.

0:30:26.750 --> 0:30:28.660

Smith, Michael E

Anything else, Chrissy?

0:30:28.710 --> 0:30:34.360

Smith, Michael E

UM, the park wanna mention UM, HDI.

0:30:34.370 --> 0:30:34.990

Smith, Michael E

Anything else?

0:30:37.940 --> 0:30:39.460

Smith, Michael E

Oh, Matt, go ahead.

0:30:42.990 --> 0:30:43.690

Shafer, Matthew W

Thanks Mike.

0:30:44.290 --> 0:30:44.880

Shafer, Matthew W

Hi everybody.

0:30:44.890 --> 0:30:48.160

Shafer, Matthew W

My name is Matt Chair from the project specialist for this project as well.

0:30:49.480 --> 0:30:50.540

Shafer, Matthew W

Sorry I was late to the call.

0:30:50.840 --> 0:30:53.520

Shafer, Matthew W

Umm, part of the what?

0:30:54.840 --> 0:30:59.60

Shafer, Matthew W

Uh, like, also visited on for the site information is that.

0:30:59.360 --> 0:31:9.860

Shafer, Matthew W

Uh, can't anybody who has their their own craft is able to come out to visit the park if they're unable to make it.

0:31:9.870 --> 0:31:17.990

Shafer, Matthew W

The on the naked freedom or the city Charter, and we do have some requirements for if you're planning to use your for your own craft.

0:31:18.580 --> 0:31:19.420

Shafer, Matthew W

I'm Mike.

0:31:28.430 --> 0:31:28.580

Smith, Michael E

You.

0:31:19.430 --> 0:31:28.820

Shafer, Matthew W

I'm I I know we got the that email from the from park stuff that we wanna include that in the amendment you'll be sending out next day or so.

0:31:29.380 --> 0:31:30.310

Smith, Michael E

Yeah, I can do that.

0:31:30.320 --> 0:31:31.880

Smith, Michael E

I I saw the information.

0:31:31.890 --> 0:31:36.570

Smith, Michael E

So umm, I'll try to gather as much information for this next amendment to include him.

0:31:36.810 --> 0:31:43.400

Smith, Michael E

Ohh is much information as we can about the site visit coming up and now it's gonna be a hot topic and getting out there.

0:31:43.410 --> 0:31:54.170

Smith, Michael E

It's kind of difficult and that's gonna be important for this site for this solicitation and we are encouraging everyone to attend the the formal site visit, getting out of the island.

0:31:54.180 --> 0:31:55.950

It's beautiful location.

0:31:55.960 --> 0:31:58.730

Smith, Michael E

Also, you know seeing the site, it's gonna be important for this bid.

0:31:58.740 --> 0:32:8.530

Smith, Michael E

We're looking for very accurate pricing, competitive bids, so we encourage everyone to get out to the site and take a look and bring your subcontractor or whoever needs to be.

0:32:8.540 --> 0:32:15.800

Smith, Michael E

I know I said, limited to two, so try to coordinate how you can, but you know we are encouraging the site visit.

0:32:18.890 --> 0:32:19.640

Smith, Michael E

Anything else, man?

0:32:19.650 --> 0:32:20.470

Smith, Michael E

I didn't mean to catch you up.

0:32:28.130 --> 0:32:29.850

Shafer, Matthew W

No, I just wanted to bring that up.

0:32:30.580 --> 0:32:31.420

Smith, Michael E

But thanks man.

0:32:37.120 --> 0:32:40.360

Smith, Michael E

I'm going to check the chat again, see if there's any questions in there.

0:32:41.860 --> 0:32:43.930

Smith, Michael E

Don't see anything or anyone typing.

0:32:43.940 --> 0:32:54.500

Smith, Michael E

I'm seeing what's going radius on, so I'm going to give it about another 1520 seconds and then uh, you know, it's been a quick uh quick meeting.

0:32:54.620 --> 0:32:58.420

You know, I'll give back the rest of your guys's day if I don't see anything else.

0:33:2.200 --> 0:33:7.220

Smith, Michael E

Again, I'm gonna go ahead and cut off the recording and I'll see any other questions.

0:33:7.560 --> 0:33:10.150

Smith, Michael E

I appreciate everybody's attendance today.

0:33:10.540 --> 0:33:14.110
