Section 108.01(b) on page 203 of 264 of the attached states “Do not mobilize or start construction operations before October 1, 2021.”

Given the location of the project, and a completion date of January 28th, a start date of October 1 will make it impossible to get the project paved out and adhere to the contract requirements not only for temperature but there is likely to be snow on the ground when paving would take place given that start date.

This requirement in SCR Subsection 108.01(b), and the fixed completion date specified under FAR 52.211‐10 on Page C‐20 is required. Please bid accordingly.

X‐Sections show reinforcement length being 11’ from face of wall versus plan sheet E.2 showing eight feet from face of wall. This is a significant difference, and it will drive the quantities for excavation, backfill, etc…..Are the X‐sections correct or are the plans correct?

In accordance with FAR 52.236‐4, “The Government shall not be responsible for any interpretation of or conclusion drawn from the data or information by the Contractor”; hence bid the plans when there are discrepancies with what is shown on the physical data cross‐section files.

For Information Only quantities seem incorrect on Plan Sheet E.2 – Wall Area (SQFT) is 1,040.

Reinforcement Length, per Footnote (1) is 8’ minimum. (1,040 SF x 8’)/27=308 CY of backfill material at a minimum. Total Backfill provided from the For Information Only chart is 193 CY (Select Granular Backfill), 39 CY (Topsoil), and 7 CY (Granular Backfill) for a total of 239 CY. This is incorrect, as there must be at least 308 CY of backfill.

This will be addressed under Amendment A001.
