Elizabeth Monohan Contracting Officer Amendment 00003 for 36C78618R0287 Fort Scott National Cemetery Section 18 & 19 Crypt Conversion

RESPONSES TO RESQUESTS FOR INFORMATION FOR SOLICITATION 36C78618R0287

FORT SCOTT DB SECTIONS 18 & 19

RESPONSE 3: No PPC’s have been installed at this cemetery.

QUESTION 4: It is understood that the project site has a significant issue with groundwater. i.e., shallow water table. Please reference the attached topographic survey detailing the area immediately north of proposed crypt Section 18. This survey was prepared as a construction aid during a previous project at Fort Scott which our team was involved in. Existing storm drainage to the east of proposed crypt Sections 18 and 19 discharges from a 30" HDPE pipe (invert elevation 878.05) into a concrete channel immediately north of proposed Section 18. Storm water flows across the concrete channel where it enters a 12 HDPE pipe (invert elevation 877.48). The 12" HDPE pipe discharges into a storm sewer manhole (invert elevation 875.52). Storm water flows out of the manhole through a 12" HDPE pipe (invert elevation 875.16) which daylights at a concrete valley gutter which runs along the surface parallel and adjacent to National Ave. Given typical double depth crypt construction methods with gravel base beneath the crypts set ± 7'6" below the existing surface (± elevation 880) and invert elevation of the crypt field drain piping set at ± 8'6" below the existing surface (± elevation 880) , the invert elevation of the proposed crypt field drain pipe is likely to be at an elevation near ± 871.5 or lower. Existing invert elevations of both the 12" HDPE drain pipe and the storm sewer manhole are too high to accept discharge from the proposed new double depth crypt installations in Sections 18 and 19. Is there a known location, on or off site, that can be used as a gravity fed groundwater discharge site for the subsurface drainage from the proposed crypt field?

QUESTION 7: Will local permitting be required from the City of Fort Scott or County of Bourbon to receive the significant ground water discharge caused by dewatering of the site during construction or permanent placement of the lawn crypts?

RESPONSE 7: Unknown, this is the responsibility of the designer to determine.

QUESTION 8: Please reference Drawing No. RFP2 included in the Solicitation. Closed contour lines 879 and 880 indicate a shallow depression or "pond" associated with the concrete drainage channel and the HDPE drain pipes on either side of the channel. The pond extends through proposed Section 18 and into part of proposed Section 19. The pond functions as a storm water detention basin during major storm events. Will the detention basin need to maintain the same capacity upon completion of the project?
