33. Reference drawing C-YP-1 (2) 36” linestops. Please confirm the replacement magnetic meter and linestops can be done at anytime during the project, except when doing the screen and valve replacement.

ANSWER: Yes. For the linestop for the MAG Meter replacement, in addition to the constraint of the screen/intake valve replacement, neither the reservoir nor river can be in a flood condition. Contractor must submit a written plan for Owner and Engineer review and approval. For the linestop for the Pump Station discharge header valve installation, work can only be performed during a 4-hour outage and not during screen/intake valve replacement, neither the reservoir nor river can be in a flood condition.

ANSWER: The western 36” ductile iron pipe is the raw water transmission main to the Motts Run Reservoir. The purpose of this line stop would be to allow for the modifications to the piping inside the Mag Meter Vault. The eastern 36” ductile iron pipe is the raw water transmission main to the Water Treatment Plant. The purpose of this line stop would be to allow for the installation of Pump No. 3 and further modifications as needed to the existing pumps inside the Raw Water Pump Station.

37. Per Civil drawing C-YP-1, please provide the invert elevations of the two 36” ductile iron water pipes receiving line stops.

ANSWER: The western 36” ductile iron pipe (raw water transmission main to the Motts Run Reservoir) has an approximate invert elevation at the line stop location of 80.0 (NAVD88). The eastern 36” ductile iron pipe (raw water transmission main to the Water Treatment Plant) has an approximate invert elevation at the line stop location of 78.0

IFB No. 24-27-KB Page 7 of 7

(NAVD88). See 1996 Gannett Fleming As-Built Drawings, Attachment A of this addendum, for additional information on pipe alignment and invert elevations along each of the two 36” mains. The drawings provided in Attachment A are in NGVD 29 datum.

38. Per Civil drawing C-D-2, detail A & B state that replacing the C/ARV’s requires leakage testing their isolation valves for full seat closure prior to removing the C/ARV’s. Please describe the recommended valve testing procedure. Keep in mind there are no apparent downstream access points between the isolation valves and the C/ARV’s. Therefore, the C/ARV’s will have to be partially or completely removed prior to testing their isolation valves for 100% closure.

ANSWER: Means and Methods for testing of the existing isolation valves are the responsibility of the Contractor. The Contractor is to propose testing procedures prior to performing the work and for review by the Owner and Engineer.

39. We had a question about this project and the clean water pump being open line shaft or enclosed shaft. Being raw water, it should be a long was away from dirty water, but the spec keeps referring to enclosed line shaft. This will dramatically impact the cost of our offering; would we be able to get clarification soon? I’ve attached the spec section…please see Item 2.4 pg 13 of attached specification section 432426.15.

ANSWER: Specified requirements for pumps are to remain as written.

40. Please provide us a detail drawing for manhole LVMH RW and manhole MVMH RW shown on drawing E-RW-5.

ANSWER: Refer to Detail AM on Sheet E-D-4.

41. Please provide us a size and detail drawing for the two-transformer pad shown on drawing E-RW-5.

ANSWER: Please See Item 1, Number 2 of this Addendum.

Any indication of concurrence, acceptance, or approval of the Contractor's schedule will only indicate a general conformance with the Contract Requirements.

3. Engineer's review of the Contractor's construction schedule submittals shall not relieve the Contractor from responsibility for any deviations from the Contract Documents unless the Contractor has in writing called Engineer's attention to such deviations at the time of submission and Engineer has given written concurrence to the specific deviations, nor shall any concurrence by the Engineer relieve Contractor from responsibility for errors and omissions in the submittals. Concurrence of the CPM Activity Network by the Engineer is advisory only and shall not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for accomplishing the Work within the Contract completion date(s).

4. Concurrence, acceptance, or approval of the Contractor's CPM schedule by the Engineer in no way makes the Engineer an insurer of the CPM schedule's success, nor liable for time or cost overruns resulting therefrom.

5. Failure to include any element of work required for the performance of this Contract will not excuse the Contractor from completing all Work required within the Contract completion date(s), notwithstanding the review of the network by the Engineer.

6. CPM schedules that contain activities with negative float, or which extend beyond the contract completion date, will not be acceptable.

Spotsylvania County, VA 013200 - 7

7. Except where earlier completions are specified, CPM schedules which show completion of all work prior to the contract completion date may be indicated; however, in no event shall they constitute a basis for claim for delay by the Contractor.

L. Contractor's Construction Schedule Updating: At monthly intervals, update schedule to reflect actual construction progress and activities. Issue schedule one week before each regularly scheduled progress meeting.

1. Revise schedule immediately after each meeting or other activity where revisions have been recognized or made. Issue updated schedule concurrently with the report of each such meeting.

2. Include a report with updated schedule that indicates every change, including, but not limited to, changes in logic, durations, actual starts and finishes, and activity durations.

3. As the Work progresses, indicate Final Completion percentage for each activity.

Activities shall not be considered to be complete until they are in fact 100 percent complete.

4. Submit a narrative report based on the CPM schedule evaluation, in a format agreed upon by the Contractor and the Engineer. The report shall include a description of the progress during the previous period in terms of completed activities, an explanation of each activity which is showing a delay, a description of problem areas, current and anticipated delaying factors and their estimated impact on performance of other activities and completion dates and an explanation of corrective action taken or proposed.

M. Recovery Schedule: When periodic update indicates the Work is 14 or more calendar days behind the current approved schedule, submit a separate recovery schedule indicating means by which Contractor intends to regain compliance with the schedule. Indicate changes to working hours, working days, crew sizes, equipment required to achieve compliance, and date by which recovery will be accomplished.

N. The contract completion time will be adjusted only for causes specified in this Contract. In the event the Contractor requests an extension of any contract completion date, the Contractor shall furnish such justification and supporting evidence as the Engineer may deem necessary to determine whether the Contractor is entitled to an extension of time under the provisions of this Contract. The Engineer will, after receipt of such justification and supporting evidence, make findings of fact and will advise the Contractor in writing thereof. If the Engineer finds that the Contractor is entitled to any extension of any contract completion date, the Engineer’s determination as to the total number of days extension shall be based upon the currently approved CPM schedule and on all data relevant to the extension. Such data shall be included in the next updating of the schedule. Actual delays in activities which, according to the CPM schedule, do not affect any contract completion date shown by the critical path in the network will not be the basis for a change therein.

O. Distribution: Distribute copies of approved schedule to Engineer, Owner, separate contractors, testing and inspecting agencies, and other parties identified by Contractor with a need-to-know schedule responsibility.

1. Post copies in Project meeting rooms and temporary field offices.

2. When revisions are made, distribute updated schedules to the same parties and post in the same locations. Delete parties from distribution when they have completed their assigned portion of the Work and are no longer involved in performance of construction activities.
