Contracting Officer AMENDMENT-0001, Solicitation 36C78620Q0186 Houston_ Reline Main Well & Replace Pump: Contractor Questions & GOV Responses Q&A period has ended as of 4-21-20

1. The engineer has already picked a pump model with design condition for this well. How can we know that the well produce this design condition without a specific capacity test after the liner is installed?

1. GOV Response: The Contractor shall perform a specific capacity drawdown test with the installed equipment.

2. Why are they changing from a line shaft turbine to a submersible turbine? This will require a new discharge head and possible modifications to the flow line.

2. GOV Response: All Offerors shall provide a quote based upon the specified submersible equipment and required discharge head modifications. Offerors may also provide an alternate quote for a vertical line shaft assembly with similar pumping capabilities if they feel it will serve the Government’s best interest; however, the basis of award evaluation will be on the original scope and any changes will be process post-award.

3. What is the current specific capacity of the well?

3. GOV Response: The specific capacity at the time of original well development was 16 gpm/ft @ 975 gpm.

4. Can the most recent television survey be made available to view?

4. GOV Response: The Government does not have the recent video survey. The Contractor shall be required to perform a new video survey to start the project.

5. The spec calls for the liner to be threaded, we usually weld liners in. Will that be excepted?

5. GOV Response: That is acceptable.

6. Can Alloy Machine works be an excepted manufacture for the screen section of the liner?

6. GOV Response: The Government does not require a specific liner manufacturer. Any specific manufacturer named in the SOW was provided as an example of material and construction type, and quality meeting the contract specification. The Contractor shall be required to submit their proposed materials that meet the contract specifications after award.

7. The engineer might want to extent the screen section of the liner 2’ on the top and bottom of the production zone to allow more flow?

7. GOV Response: The length of screen specified was selected to limit the screen entrance velocity to 0.1 ft/sec (based upon the formula ‘transmitting capacity (gpm/ft. of screen) = open area x 0.31’). Since the diameter of the liner will be changing (see RFI question #9), a new sample screen length calculation is provided in the revised SOW. (See Document Attachment: S06_Amendment-0001_Attach-1_REV-1 SOW_Houston_Reline Main Well & Replace Pump)

8. The spec calls for a 6” X 8” K packer. These are typically not used in the Houston area because it doesn’t allow the gravel pack to be replenished.

8. GOV Response: Agree. This requirement has been removed from the revised SOW.

9. The scope of work outlined in the SOW will most likely not be possible. The current 8” ID liner would have to be perfectly straight to be able to fit 6.625” OD line inside. This most likely will not be the case. This also leaves no room for a gravel pack behind the liner. This means the well is going to continue to make sand. We request engineering review of this issue.

9. GOV Response: Agree. The liner diameter has been changed to 4” ID, 4.50” OD and gravel pack added.

10. Also I would advise against using a sonar jet on a well with structural problems. There are other options that might be possible, like using a 4” liner, or setting a steel patch, over the section producing sand. We request engineering review of this issue.

10. GOV Response: Agree. The rehabilitation method has been removed from the revised SOW.

11. An additional wage determination is being added for use against the awarded contract. (See S06_Amendment-0001_Attach-2_WD_HEAVY_Harris County TX20200031_1-3-20)

12. The SOW and REV-1 SOW is missing the damage notations. (See: S06_Amendment-0001_Attach-3_Well Screen Location-Damage Diagram) See attached document: S06_Amendment-0001_Attach-1_REV-1 SOW_Houston_Reline Main Well _ Replace Pump.
