Amendment No. 0002 Project VA NP GWMP MVT(4)

George Washington Memorial Parkway Mount Vernon Trail Reconstruction Solicitation: 693C73-24-R-000018

The purpose of this Amendment is to:

1) Provide a summary of responses to questions/clarifications asked by potential Offerors.

The Proposal due date of July 24, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. EST remains unchanged.

Questions / Clarifications

The following questions and issues were submitted to EFLHD at eflhd.contracts@dot.gov. The Government response or clarification is provided. Due to the repetitive nature of several questions and issues, the wording of the questions may have been revised and some questions have not been included. The Government’s direct response to the sender may also have been updated below for better clarity.

1. Can you provide the name of the Surveyor who surveyed the project corridor for the Preliminary plans?

Response: The survey was completed by in-house staff and external consultants.

The name of the external consultant who assisted with the survey will not be provided.

2. Upon further reviewing the draft RFP, it does not provide the period of performance for this contract. But the RFQ section on Page 11, under Factor 1 - Project Specific Understanding and Approach & Quality Management, it requires "Provide the estimated duration of each project schedule/option including the total design and construction duration. ". Can EFL please provide the contractors with the contract duration from the date of the award, so a schedule can be developed to meet the requirements of the

RFQ/RFP.

Response: The Offeror is to provide an estimated reasonable schedule for the completion of the Base Contract and Option 1 based on their understanding and approach to the project. The Offeror is to address the means and methods to meet their schedule. The Offeror should also address any possibilities to accelerate their schedule. The government intends to evaluate the offerors understanding of the project based on the schedule the offeror provides. The government is not evaluating the number of days the offeror provides as a reasonable schedule.

3. Confirmation that there are helical piles specified for this phase of the project is required.

The plans provided do include helical loads. I am trying to confirm that there are helical piles specified for this phase of the project. I have the plans but I do not see helical loads provided with the plan set. Would you be the best person for me to talk to?

Response: Helical piles are anticipated being used on the bridge replacements for Bridges 26, 27, 28, 29 and the Boardwalk (Sta. 523+25.19 to 527+59.04). It is not anticipated that helical piles will be a practical foundation type for bridge replacements for Bridges 31 and 32. These bridge designations can be found on the R-sheets of the “Appendix A_Conceptual Plans.pdf”.
