Item No. 3 – Contractor Question:

3. QUESTION: What are the working hours?

ANSWER: Normal working hours will be from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Front office will open during this time.

Contractor will have option to work after hours due to the security fence that will be placed by Owner around the work area. Contractor will be responsible for maintaining security for entrance and exit gates.

4. QUESTION: How do we manage the below ground vegetation, specifically root-balls impacted with lead impacted soil?

ANSWER: All vegetation on the site will be cleared, grubbed and transported to a landfill or facility that can accept the waste. Specifically, all root balls and roots that extend into the AOIs are to be treated as contaminated and disposed with the contaminated soils. To the extent possible the Contractor shall remove most of the soil from the root system to allow it to be treated. It will be assumed that the roots and/or root balls will be sampled and analyzed as required by the Contractor’s selected disposal facility(ies). All above soil surface vegetation can be considered not contaminated and cleared, transported and disposed/recycled at the Contractor’s discretion.

The methodology will be detailed in the Contractor’s Work Plan to be submitted as part of the pre-field work submittals.

5. QUESTION: Can the pond water be used for dust suppression? If not, is there a water source?

ANSWER: Pond water can be used but cannot be drained below 1.5 feet. Water cannot leave the working fenced area. The Contractor will be required to manage all runoff from the work site in accordance with the Stormwater Management Plan that is required to be submitted and accepted by the Owner.

6. QUESTION: Where (which AOI) was the treatability sample collected? Or was it a composite from all AOIs.

ANSWER: The treatability samples were collected from representative locations from the two AOIs (Reclaimed Bullets is not considered contaminated but the soil must be sifted to remove the lead shot).

7. QUESTION: What if the 5% Blastox treatment does not render the sample non-hazardous?

ANSWER: This will be addressed as a change order, if required.

8. QUESTION: Who creates QAPP?

ANSWER: QAPP was created by Owner and approved by the local, state and federal agencies associated with this project. Any modification will be created by the Contractor and submitted as an addendum to the original approved QAPP.

9. QUESTION: Is the ULL Environmental Consulting Firm an independent firm hired by UL to manage project?

ANSWER: YES

10. QUESTION: Will the ULL Environmental Project Manager perform testing or monitor testing?

ANSWER: The ULL Environmental Consulting Firm will perform testing as needed for the University not the Contractor. They will also monitor testing done by the Contractor. ULL Environmental Consulting firm will be responsible for the collection and analysis associated with the following only. All other sampling/analysis is the responsibility of the Contractor.

A. Perimeter Air Monitoring

B. Confirmation sampling/analysis after excavation

C. TCLP sampling and analysis for TCLP if initial 5% Blastox show that the waste is still hazardous.

D. Any additional sampling as need to meet their contract obligations to the Owner

11. QUESTION: Why all the air monitoring fine removal done by machines?

ANSWER: Assuming the question is asking why all the air monitoring, it is due to the sensitive nature of the site, air testing is being performed to ensure that sensitive populations are not exposed to excess dust and/or lead.

12. QUESTION: Testing of soil indicate soil is contaminated once bullets are removed?

ANSWER: All sampling and analysis was performed without bullet removal. The bench study treatment with Blastox was performed on the contaminated soil the way it currently exists without bullet removal.

13. QUESTION: Does UL expect part of the proceeds of lead value?

ANSWER: No

Office: (337) 482-5396 Fax: (337) 482-5059

14. QUESTION: Is it OK for soil to be hauled off an filtered offsite?

ANSWER: All soils to be moved offsite must be taken directly to a facility that is licensed to handle such waste.

All trucking shall be done by hazardous waste transporters. The Contractor’s Work Plan will need to detail the means and method to be used, provide all licenses and documentation that the work is being performed in accordance with Louisiana Administrative Codes and Regulations. Transport off-site may require the approval of the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality. These will be the responsibility of the Contractor to obtain all approvals in writing and provided with their Work Plan. Failure to get such approvals is not grounds for a change order.

15. QUESTION: The Contractor is not responsible for paying for any soil or air testing?

ANSWER: Contractor is responsible for paying for their day-to-day operational sampling. See the answer provided in Question 10.

16. QUESTION: Please provide a list of the sign in sheet.

ANSWER: See attached and Item No. 1 of this Addendum.

17. QUESTION: Is DBE still required being this project is federal funded?

ANSWER: Yes, as much as possible in a good faith effort.

18. QUESTION: Can soil be reused on site? There was mention that the dirt did not need to be hauled off. ANSWER:

The discussion associated with the reuse of soil on-site was directly related to soils outside of the two AOIs. The non-impacted soils may be used to refill excavated AOI areas once confirmation samples have been collected and it is deemed acceptable for the Contractor to use the adjacent soil mound material. The remaining mounded soil

(excluding tree roots, balls and miscellaneous debris that must be disposed of offsite) that is in excess of the required soil needed to fill the excavated areas will be relocated to the pond. All this work must be included as part of the Contractor’s bid as Alternate No. 1.

19. QUESTION: Back ground checks, work time, badging requirements?

ANSWER: Back ground checks will be required. See answer to Question 3 for work hours. No badging will be required at this time.

20. QUESTION: Split Recovered Lead Revenue? 50/50, or UL or us keep 100%?

ANSWER: No, split on lead revenue. Contractor keeps 100% of revenue. See answer to Question 13.

21. QUESTION: Silt fence for pond?

ANSWER: Yes. Silt fencing will be required as part of the Contractors Stormwater Management BMP.

22. QUESTION: How close to pond can we stage and treat 6 piles of dirt?

ANSWER: ULL will be moving the perimeter construction fence along the edge of the pond prior to start of construction. Fence will remain during the duration of the project. The Contractor is to allow at least 5 feet between the edge of the stockpiles and the fencing that will isolate the pond from the work area. Note: All stockpiled materials will need to be placed on poly sheeting as directed in the specifications.

23. QUESTION: Can we use pond water?

ANSWER: See Answer 5.

24. QUESTION: If we treat soil, do you want us to dispose or is there a use for it on site?

ANSWER: All treated soil is to be disposed at an off-site waste disposal facility licensed to accept the waste.

25. QUESTION: How busy is the access road?

ANSWER: 2nd Street is a public road. Usage appears to be through traffic. Contractor at no point during project will block traffic without any contractor signage and flagging.

26. QUESTION: Can trees be left onsite?

ANSWER: No

27. QUESTION: Will Medical Clearance be required for all employees except truckers?

ANSWER: No medical clearance will be required due to all work being inside of construction area. No employee shall work outside this area near any animal housings.

28. QUSTION: Can a new access/departure gate be installed at the Contractor’s Expense?

ANSWER: Secondary entry gate not required, but Contractor has option to provide temporary fence and culvert system provided fence system meets and exceeds specifications of adjacent gate including construction and width. Culvert system must meet or exceed all requirements by the Parish of Iberia. Contractor shall verify exact dimensions and construction in field prior to installation.

29. QUESTION: Will the Owner provide UXO clearance prior to excavating the soils? Or, should this be performed by the Contractor?

ANSWER: Based on the historical use of the site as a small-arms firing range, and the fact that the work area is limited to the earthen backstop, the presence of unexploded ordnance (UXO) is not anticipated. Small-arms ranges of this type do not typically involve explosive munitions capable of producing UXO. All previous site investigations, including soil sampling and the Corrective Action Plan, have not identified materials consistent with UXO or explosive residues.

Therefore, no UXO clearance is required or expected prior to excavation, and no UXO-related hazards have been identified in the project specifications or environmental reports.

However, as with any spent munitions excavation project:

• The Contractor shall remain alert for any unexpected, buried debris or anomalous materials during earthwork, and

• Any discovery of suspicious items must result in immediate stoppage of work in the affected area and notification of the Owner/Environmental Consultant for further direction.

30. QUESTION: Please clarify if tree clearing will only be needed inside the excavation zone or for the entire berm.

ANSWER: Refer to the answer associated with Question 4 of this Addendum.

31. QUESTION: Will the Contractor be required to remove above ground clearing materials from the site?

ANSWER: Refer to the answer associated with Question 4 of this Addendum.

32. QUESTION: Will the Owner stake the boundaries of soils that require excavation and removal?

ANSWER: Yes, this will be performed after award and prior to beginning the site work.

33. QUESTION: What will be the criteria to allow the Contractor to be approved to use the soils to fill in the pond on-site?

ANSWER: Refer to the answer associated with Question 18 of this Addendum.

34. QUESTION: Is it correct the total quantities to process and remove is 1,526 tons?

ANSWER: 1,382 tons (AOI-1 with 117 tons + AOI-2 with 1,265 tons) will need offsite disposal and 144 tons can be sifted to remove the bullets and soil relocated to the pond or used as fill in the excavated areas. If the

Contractor does not want to sift out the bullets from the Reclaim Bullet area, it can be sent off with the rest of the contaminated soil.

35. QUESTION Will the Owner conduct post-excavation sampling and analysis, if required?

ANSWER: Yes

36. QUESTION: Does the University have a bid bond template, or can Surety use their own preferred form?

ANSWER: No, we do not provide a bid bond template. You may use your preferred form.

37. QUESTION: Contractor inquired whether they will be allowed to take pictures.

ANSWER: Only the project Superintendent will be allowed to take pictures of construction area. No drone aerial photos may be taken. No other employee will be allowed to take pictures. All pictures must be reviewed by NIRC immediately after being taken. All pictures must be taken with the facility and animal cages at Contractor’s back. This will be covered in detailed in pre-construction meeting.
