About this file
This document contains questions and answers from a site visit regarding Solicitation No. 140P8422R0004 to replace water and propane distribution systems at Drakesbad Guest Ranch in Lassen Volcanic National Park, Plumas County, California. The National Park Service seeks to replace aging infrastructure to distribute water and propane for visitor facilities. Bidders can use existing parking areas and horse corrals for staging, and while load restrictions apply to county bridges, specific information is still pending. The majority of excavated material for roadwork can be reused as subbase, and disinfection will not be required for the new water system given the lack of potable water after wildfires. Rock removal will be handled through contract modifications if needed.

Solicitation No. 140P8422R0004, Attachment No. 06
SOLICITATION NO. 140P8422R0004
REPLACE WATER/PROPANE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS AT DRAKESBAD GUEST RANCH
LASSEN VOLCANIC NATIONAL PARK
PLUMAS COUNTY, CALIFORNIA
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS RECEIVED TO DATE:
Q1: Where are the staging areas?
A1: The contractor may use existing parking areas and the horse coral for staging.
Q2: Will there be a Rock Clause?
A2: Currently there is no Rock Clause in the contract. The NPS acknowledges that subsurface conditions are not entirely known. If significant rock (i.e. boulders greater that 24 inches in diameter and competent bedrock) is encountered that would prevent the installation of the water main the contractor shall contact the engineer. In most cases it is likely that the adequate cover can be achieved by adding additional fill, rather than excavating rock. In generally the contractor should expect to encounter boulders up to 24 inches in diameter. Should the need arise to excavate rock it will be handled through a contract modification.
Q3: Are there restrictions on the County Bridge leading to the site?
A3: While the specifications require compliance with legal load restrictions in hauling of materials, NPS is in the process of obtaining this specific information and will post another update once the information is available.
Q4: What to do with the existing excavated material for the roadway?
A4: In general, the majority of the existing material should be reused as compacted aggregate subbase. Excavated boulders may be cast to the side.
Q5: Since there is no potable water due to the Dixie fire, is disinfection required?
A5: No, disinfection will not be required.
