CONTRACT SPECIALIST

AMENDMENT NO. 0004 36C786-19-R-0076 DATED: August 23, 2019 FORT MITCHELL NATIONAL CEMETERY – This amendment supports government response to all questions received against subject requirement. Note: There will be no further time extension for receipt of proposals, based on government responses.

QUESTION 1: Can the well heads be modified with a water sampling port to get isolated water samples and inspect each of wells to isolate the problem before determining an appropriate course of action? GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Statement of Work states to abandon both wells.

QUESTION 2: There are no details as to the makeup, design, and depth of the existing wells. What is the depth of each of the two existing wells and when was each put into service? GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Depth and date of installation are unknown QUESTION 3: The SOW said to abandon two existing wells and drill a single test well, and to install four 7.5 H.P. submersible pump motors. There is no mention of adding a total of four wells. Is the intention to add a total of four wells to the site? GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Four wells were included as a basis of bid. The Government understands that if additional wells are required (based on the required testing) this would be a in scope modification to the contract. The opposite is also true: if the results of the testing indicate fewer than four wells, a deduct would be required.

QUESTION 4: There is no well design diagram showing the depth or construction of the new wells. What is the design and depth of the new wells supposed to be? GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: The design and depth of the new wells is dependent on the results of the test well and the stated requirements of this project.

QUESTION 5: The SOW states that the existing pump control equipment was sufficient. The existing pump control system is not sufficient as it is controlling the system with Motor Starters that do not have enough expansion spaces to add two new motor starters. Are the motor starters for wells as well as booster pumps to be removed and all equipment replaced with electronic controls and VFD’s which currently there are none? Are VFD’s to be added to control the two 40 HP booster pumps as well as the 5 HP pressure pump which are currently controlled by Motor Starters? GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: The SOW states that the existing pump control equipment is ASSUMED to be sufficient. This is to form a uniform basis of bid. If modifications are required or recommended, this would be a in scope modification to the contract proposed for consideration.

QUESTION 6: The SOW seems to ask to add four new wells onsite but does not identify any locations for these wells to be located, or how the piping is to be routed to the North pump station building. Where should the wells be located and how will the piping and electrical get to the building if new wells are installed? GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Exact location of the resulting wells shall be field determined in coordination with the Cemetery Director.

QUESTION 7: The well piping that connects to the storage tank at the bottom of the tank has been partially covered with eroded slope sand. There is no mention of where the new manifold should be located and which of the existing inlet ports should be used for the new well system inlets. Where should the manifold be located to be able to connect the new wells to storage tank? GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: The manifold shall be coordinated with the location of the wells and shall also be field determined in coordination with the Cemetery Director and confirmed by administrative contracting officer.
