140P5324R0046 Questions and Answers

CAHA Septic Sys. Q1443, Q1445, Q1447

Amendment 1

1. Question: Can sod be used verses grass seeding? SOD will require less maintenance in the being phase of stabilization.

Answer: The Park does not want to use sod for this project. We feel there is less chance of introducing an invasive species into the park when using the specified seed mix over standard sod composition.

2. Question: Is there water available for use onsite for grass maintenance.

Answer: Yes, there is a hose bib on each house

3. Question: There are two different NAICS codes listed. Is it 237110 or 238990?

Answer: The NAICS code is 237110 Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures

Construction, Other applicable NAICS is 238990 All other Specialty Trade Contractors and the size standard is $16.5 million.

4. Question: Can a copy of the sign-in log from the site visit be provided?

Answer: Site visit Sheet is posted with amendment 1

5. Question: Will additional imported fill be needed for the demolition of the existing systems? Typical we spread and grade out the remaining soil left over from the installation. Can this be used as a backfill of the existing demo systems? (Ruts or low spots left from demo)

Answer: additional backfill should not be needed, you can remaining soil for this

6. Question: Sketch for Quarters 1443 detail 2 does not reference the correct distance from existing tank. Note 5 this 28” pine tree will suffer at least 80% damage from demolition of the septic tank. Also, this tree will need to be removed/demoed from top down, delimbing it until it is of size to be push over or dug up. We feel clarification is needed for all bidders and this would not have to be a changed condition if amended now during the bid phase.

Answer: This has been addressed in the revised SOW and the drawing, revised documents are posted with amendment 1

7. Question: Behind Q1447 there are "wetland Marker flags" are they for a wetland or is it miss marked?

Answer: These are miss marked, there is no known wetland in this section of the park.

8. Question: For the 28" pine tree behind Q1443, if removal is needed due to root cutting

(highly probable) do we want that included in the bid or as an RFI?

Answer: The SOW does state about the roots and with the changes to the SOW and

Drawing this tree should not be affected.
