About this file
This document is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) addendum for a federal contract solicitation for the Great Basin National Park (GRBA) Lehman Cave Lighting, Electrical, and Telecommunications System Replacement/Upgrade, with solicitation number 140P8525R0015. The Q&A addresses a specific inquiry about soil boring and geotechnical reports for construction laydown and trenching areas. The response indicates no bore reports are available, and the contractor is expected to locate and remove the existing electrical feeder along the same path, with potential minor trench modifications involving some rock. The document includes site plan images and photographs showing proposed conduit routing, highlighting areas of potential cutting needs near the visitor center, generator, and cave exit door. The government allows flexibility for the awarded contractor to propose alternative routing with reduced environmental impact, provided it follows the intention of existing routing.

140P8525R0015
7. Are soil boring or geotechnical reports available for the construction laydown and trenching areas? If not, can we assume excavation will be clear of rocks/obstructions beyond those shown in the documents?
a. Response: No bores are available, reference contract documents for site conditions. The intent is for the contractor to locate and remove the existing feeder and the new feeder will be provided along the same path.
Modifications for the trench may be required with some rock, but is anticipated to follow the existing pathway. This is intended to route along perimeter of pad and stone wall the extent possible. Limited cutting / patching anticipated at the pad near the service equipment. Not anticipating any major excavation (rock cutting or blasting).
See photos below for additional information in addition to Sheet E.05 Site plan for more information.
Yellow highlighted area indicates area requiring potential cutting needs.
Red line indicates proposed conduit routing based on understanding of potential existing routing.
If contractor verifies alternative routing with reduced impact (based on intention to follow existing routing), an alternate route may be proposed by the awarded contractor.
