Jefferson Barracks Questions and Answers

Q1. Drawing LS-100 has some notations marking “10’ OFFSET” between the crypts and the existing back of curb. Please confirm that it is the intent to offset the crypts a minimum of 10’ from the back of curb. There appear to be some locations in which the distance between the crypts and back of curb is less than 10’.

A. Install according to plan, the majority of each crypt is outside the 10' buffer.

Q2. The proposed crypt field is in very close proximity to existing roadways. Is shoring required or may the contractor slope and/or step the temporary excavation for the crypt field?

A. Means and methods are the responsibility of the contractor.

Q3. The provided borings show no groundwater. Is it a safe assumption that groundwater will not be encountered? Can the remainder of the geotechnical report please be provided?

A. The full geotechnical report is in the specifications. See the geotechnical report for groundwater information.

Q4. Please clarify if shoring/bracing will be required for the northern wall of the excavation where a 1:1 slope does not appear achievable with the construction fencing required.

A. See response to question 2.

Q5. Is this a tax exempt project?

A. No.

Q6. If tax exempt, will the VA be providing a tax-exempt certificate for the Prime and

Subs/Vendors to use?

A.

Q7. L503, Detail F6 specifies concrete footing and an existing post. This post is not existing at the temp entrance off Sheridan road. Is contractor to dig and set the temp post in concrete or can temp fencing with sandbags on the feet be used?

A. Intent is to utilize the existing fence posts to support a temporary gate. If an existing post does not exist a temporary post that can support the gate can be installed

Q8. Does the VA require a Full-time superintendent dedicated to this project, and this project only, or can this employee be shared across other projects?

A. A dedicated full-time superintendent is required.

Q9. Will the Prime Contractor be allocated space for a temp office trailer or is there available space available for a Superintendent to set up an office if not allocated space for the temp trailer?

A. Existing space for a trailer is noted as staging areas on GC-100.

Q10. The RFI response previously supplied regarding the Excess Fill Notes on LG-100 doesn’t seem to be what we believe the spec notes state. Please specify the following:

a) Is the existing excess fill at the barn storage pile to be removed from the site in its entirety?

A. For bidding purposes assume 3,000 CY exist at the storage site. If quantities differ, an adjustment can be made to the contract

b) Are we to assume the amount of fill to be removed from the barn store pile at

3000 CY?

A. For bidding purposes assume 3,000 CY exist at the storage site. If quantities differ, an adjustment can be made to the contract.

c) Is ALL excess fill from 1KK to be moved and permanently stored at the storage pile at the barn?

A. For bidding purposes, assume only 3,000 CY would be used to replace the storage pile. Excess fill exceeding 3,000 CY shall be disposed of off site

Q11. There are no specs for the floral base 6” concrete pad. Please provide specs or a concrete detail.

A. Specification section 32 05 23 specifies the concrete type, and detail F4/L-

504 notes the size and thickness.

Q12. Drawing LP100 indicates a 3.1’ x 1.6’ concrete pad for sign is to be poured. What sign is this referring to?

A. This is background information from the survey and is an existing sign, no signage is required.

Q13. On the above, what concrete specs/detail apply to this pad?

A. See response to question 12.

Q14. Drawing LP-500, not sure if it’s on our end, but detail C1 and E5 are partially in Japanese.

Please advise of the sign details.

A. This is due to installed fonts (or missing) on the viewing computer, make sure to adjust the setting “embed missing fonts” on the PDF viewer used.

Q15. Drawing L501, detail F7 is missing width and depth dimensions of the marker. Please provide.

A. Section marker post shall be 6” width by 6” depth.
