About this file

This is Amendment 0002 to a Federal Highway Administration solicitation for construction work on the Cherokee National Forest. The solicitation number is 693C73-26-B-000015, issued by the Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division (EFLHD) in Ashburn, Virginia. The amendment serves two purposes: (1) providing a summary of responses to questions and clarifications submitted by interested bidders, and (2) rescheduling the bid opening date to Thursday, August 13, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. EDT. The amendment is effective as of August 5, 2026, with an original solicitation date of June 25, 2026.

The amendment addresses a key clarification regarding MSE (Mechanically Stabilized Earth) wall design requirements. The Government clarifies that while conceptual wall details are shown in the plans, the contractor is responsible for providing the final engineered design of the MSE wall through the selected wall manufacturer/supplier. The contractor must submit signed and sealed shop drawings and supporting design calculations prepared by the wall manufacturer's engineer in accordance with contract requirements, including FP-24 Section 257 on Contractor-Designed Retaining Structures and applicable EFLHD specifications. No separate pay item is provided for MSE wall design; compensation for design, shop drawings, calculations, materials, and installation shall be included in the contract unit price for the MSE wall. All other terms and conditions of the original solicitation remain unchanged.

Questions submitted within 7 days of the proposal due date may not be answered in time for the bidder to properly incorporate the responses into their bid.

Response: The Contractor shall provide the final design of the MSE wall through the selected wall manufacturer/supplier. The wall details shown in the plans are conceptual and establish the required wall geometry, alignment, elevations, and performance criteria only; they do not constitute a final engineered wall design.

Section 257 – Contractor-Designed Retaining Structures, and the applicable EFLHD specifications. No separate pay item is provided for MSE wall design.
