Questions and Answers during Advertisement for CA FTFW MERC 915(1), TRAIL(1), Parking Area & Trails

October 15, 2019

Questions Answers 1 Does the refuge have a water source? Can we get water from the refuge for dust control, fire prevention and compaction?

See subsection 105.02(a) of the SCR’s.

2 Please confirm that the Erosion Control Supervisor, Qualified

SWPPP Practitioner and the Quality Control Manager can be the same person as long as all of the experience requirements are met.

Yes, as long as they have the qualifications to perform all three operations and can meet the requirements of a part time QC as mentioned in 153.

3 The solicitation provides a completion date however does not provide a contract duration. Please clarify when the contractor should anticipate a notice to proceed being issued so that the working days can be established.

Anticipated NTP is November 18, 2019.

4 The detail on sheet A5 for the aggregate parking area notes a 1.5% max slope however there are no contour lines shown on sheet C1, C2, D1. Please provide are of cut and fill in order to meet the project requirements.

No contours are available. Cut and fill is expected to be minimal from existing conditions.

5 Section 204.14 regarding disposal of unsuitable of excess material notes to “secure environmental clearances according to subsection 107.10(d).” Please clarify if there will be any spoils from excavation that will need to hauled off site or if the spoils can be disposed of on site.

Any excavated material from excavation from concrete pads may be spread per the not on sheet A5.

6 The solicitation does not address any delays associated with unsuitable soil conditions which could greatly affect the productivity and cost of the work to be completed. Will additional days be added to the contract period if the soil is unsuitable for work to be completed? An example of the loss of productivity would be having to use a tracked dump truck to transfer material throughout the trail if the soil is unsuitable to allow for a wheeled dump truck to drive the trail without damaging areas of the trail.

This is a means and methods question. No answer other than the contractor is to complete a site visit.

7 As there has been no geotechnical exploration performed at this location, can there be a contingency force account added to the bid schedule for the removal/disposal of inadequate soil and importation/placement of adequate soil if compaction cannot be obtained with reasonable effort.

No geotechnical exploration performed.
