2. Question: On Page L-P, Volume I, Section J - Attachment 07, please provide the subcontracting plan information, as I cannot find it in the solicitation documents.

Response: Please disregard (7) Subcontracting Plan requirement stated in p. L-9 of Section L as this has been removed via Amendment 0002.

3. Question: The contractor has already obtained CPARs from previous projects. Does the contractor still need to request PPQs for references?

Response: Yes, as stated in Section L of the solicitation, the submission of PPQs is required. See

p. L-14 for further guidance.

4. Question: Sheet # 21 Plan 485-D-60876 Refers to see Note #3, however notes only go to #2. Can you please provide direction as to where to see Sheet # 21 Plan 485-D-60876?

Response: See revised Drawing 485-D-60876.

5. Question: There are large pine trees as well as large, downed trees are these to be part of clearing & grubbing?

Response: Yes, if they are within the limits of clearing and grubbing indicated on the drawings and in accordance with Specification Section 31 11 00.

6. Question: Regarding the CDMS in section 01 31 30 – we do not know that any of the common construction management software that will meet all of the BOR’s requirements. Most of the online software that we have used to not track REA, RFC, and RFP’s as separate categories, for example. Has the BOR a software vendor that they are familiar with that meets all of the requirements of 01 31 30? Please advise.

Response: CDMS software programs that have been recently approved include, but not limited to, Procore, Trimble ProjectSight, Newforma Constructex, and Autodesk Construction Cloud.

7. Question: Please verify the date proposals are due date. The solicitation gives a date of 2/3 meanwhile the BOR’s online presentation and SAMs announce a 2/12 proposal due date. Please verify.

Response: The deadline for proposal submission has been updated to Wednesday, February 19, 2025, at 5PM PST via Amendment 0001.

8. Question: Please verify that physical print-outs in physical binders will not be necessary for the proposal and that all proposals will solely be electronic via Kiteworks. Please confirm.

Response: Physical print outs are not necessary since all proposals are to be submitted electronically to Contract Specialist, Ron Gamo at rgamo@usbr.gov.

9. Question: Please clarify the work that the contractor can perform before August 1.

Response: No onsite work can be performed prior to August 1. See revised Specification Section

Response: The entire toe drain system shall be inspected. See revised Specification Section 33 46

46.

11. Question: Regarding Drawing sheet 10 – Note 3 “Install security fence”, please clarify if the security fence is temporary or permanent and what Line Item shall this item be paid from?

Response: The security fence between the Contractor Use Area and California State Parks is temporary. See Note 8 on Drawing 485-D-60925 and revised Specification Section 31 23 22.

12. Question: Regarding Line Item 33 – Optical Fiber Cable (3,400 LF): Please clarify the location of the 3,400 LF of optical fiber cable in the drawings.

Response: See revised Drawing 485-D-60876 and revised Specification Section 33 82 23.

13. Question: Please clarify if there are additional onsite material resources the contractor could use for dirt fill.

Response: There are no borrow areas nor stockpiles available onsite to source material for the berm fill. Review Specification Section 31 24 53 Part 2.

14. Question: Please clarify which trees will be removed in the contractor-use areas, especially next to the North Fork conduit work area.

Response: Review Specification Section 31 11 00 Part 3.01 and revised Drawing 485-D-60863.

Protect elderberry shrubs in accordance with Specification Section 01 57 60.

15. Question: Please clarify the BOR’s intent for the temporary fiber optic work. Spefically, where are we to intercept and spice the existing line? Does the temp fiber need to be buried, or can it be run overhead or in conduit above ground? Is the intent to route it along the entire perimeter of the

Contractor Use Area A to ensure it does not get damaged by construction traffic?

Response: Alignment of the temporary fiber optic cables to be determined by the Contractor.

Temporary cables may be installed in conduit above ground. See revised Specification Section 33

82 23, revised Drawing 485-D-60876, and revised Price Schedule.

16. Question: Where is the permanent fiber to be spiced at?

Response: See revised Drawing 485-D-60876.

17. Question: Please clarify that the quantity of, trench, conduit, and backfill for bid item 4 shall match the 3,400 LF of bid item 33?

Response: Yes, however the estimated quantity has been changed. See revised Price Schedule and revised Specification Section 33 82 23.

18. Question: For the permanent pull boxes on sheet 21, we see two new boxes with the note “New pull box, see note 3”. We are unable to find note 3 on this sheet.

19. Question: Please clarify the routing of the temporary fiber optic. We are unable to find on the project plans.

Response: Routing of the temporary optical fiber cable shall be determined by the Contractor and approved by the COR. See revised Specification Section 33 82 23.

20. Question: Please clarify the quantity of pull boxes for the temporary fiber optic. We see two new boxes for the permanent on sheet 21. How many temporary pull boxes will the BOR require?

Response: No temporary pull boxes are required. The temporary optical fiber cables shall be spliced within the new pullboxes shown on revised Drawing 485-D-60876. See also revised

Specification Section 33 82 23.

21. Question: Please clarify that the temporary fiber optic and the permanent fiber optic quantities are both contained in that 3,400 LF for bid item 33?

Response: No. A new CLIN has been added for the temporary cables. See revised Price Schedule and revised Specification Section 33 82 23.

22. Question: Please clarify where the splices for the temporary fiber optic will start and end?

23. Question: Please clarify why the BOR specifically is requiring temporary fiber optic?

Response: Functionality of the existing optical fiber cable must be maintained throughout construction. A temporary routing of the optical fiber cables is necessary to complete the work required within the North Fork Ditch area before installation of the new permanent alignment.

24. Question: We see Elderberrys on sheets 60863 and 60925. The specs require these shrubs to be protected by K-Rail. Please confirm. For bidding purposes does each Elderberry require 4 k-rails?

Response: Install a sufficient number of concrete barriers to enclose the dripline around the elderberry shrubs indicated on the drawings. Additionally, see revised Drawing 485-D-60926.

25. Question: Will the same 60K type rail as installed along the San Juan waterline be required for

Elderberry protection here?

Response: Install concrete barriers around the elderberry shrubs in accordance with Specification

Section 32 31 17. Additionally, see revised Drawings 485-D-60925 and 485-D-60926.

26. Question: Under what bid item will the elderberry k-rail be paid for? Does the 300 LF of bid item 26 include the Elderberry shrub protection?

Response: Concrete barriers for the elderberry shrubs shall be paid under CLIN 26. Additionally, see revised Drawing 485-D-60925.

27. Question: The BOR has a stockpile of existing k-rails located at Right Wing Dam. These K-rails were pulled off of Dike 1 during a historical project. Will the BOR require the purchase of new

K-rail when they have a surplus onsite?

Response: There are no requirements to purchase new concrete barriers. All required “k-rail” to be furnished by the Contractor are temporary and shall be removed upon contract completion. See revised Specification Section 32 31 17 and revised Drawing 485-D-60925.

28. Question: Please clarify that the BOR wants the new 60K K-rails installed along the San Juan water line removed at the end of the job?

Response: The existing concrete barriers currently installed along the San Juan Pipeline belong to Reclamation, shall remain in place for the duration of the contract and will be removed and relocated by the Contractor at the completion of the contract. The Contractor is not required to furnish “k-rail” at this location. See revised Drawing 485-D-60925.

29. Question: Under what bid item shall the temporary security fence be bid under? We see that the temp fence on sheet 7 is located via Northing/ Easting coordinates and that the length has been pre-determined by the BOR. Please consider providing a separate bid item for this temporary security fence as the unit rate to install and remove this fence will be different from the permanent fence?

Response: There is no temporary security fence shown on Drawing 485-D-60863 (Sheet 7). See revised Drawings 485-D-60863 and 485-D-60876 for fencing requirements. Also, see revised
