1. The purpose of the amendment is:

a. To answer all RFI questions submitted. See attached for responses.

Amendment 0002 RFI Questions and Answers

Q1. Are existing utility Drawings available for the areas around the hydrants?

A1. Yes, however the accuracy cannot be guaranteed (posted with previous amendment).

Concerning plumbing, the most up to date drawing is what was posted in the solicitation.

Q2. Can we use 6' temp construction Fence?

A2. No, solicitation calls for 7’.

Q3. Can we have multiple crews working simultaneously on separate hydrants or are we solely going to be able to work one hydrant at a time?

A3. One site at a time.

Q4. What color are the hydrants going to be painted? The NFPA guidelines specify a red body with a light blue cap but the specifications sheet says that they will be painted yellow.

A4. Hydrants will need to be yellow.

Q5. The scope says that we will be replacing the hydrants and associated piping but the specifications lists all valves and piping associated with the plumbing of the hydrants almost as if we would be replacing everything and starting fresh.

A5. Specifications call out reference standards, material requirements, and some limitations on means and methods for items referenced in the scope of work. Contractor will not be responsible for executing anything listed in the specifications that doesn’t have a direct correlation to anything in the scope of work.

Q6. Would the Campus Fire Department be assisting with the flow testing or is this something that we would have to coordinate with the Augusta Fire Department to accomplish?

A6. Coordinate timing for flow testing and hydrant outages with the projects COR (Contracting Officer Representative). The COR will make any necessary arrangements and notifications with the fire departments and with the Togus campus.
