Questions and Answers during Advertisement for CA FLAP TRI CR502(1)&511(1) Ruth Zenia Road and Van Duzen Road
March 18, 2021
Questions Answers 1 What are the working days on this? IFB Section 11 states:
Item 11: COMPLETION DATE: Work shall be completed on or before the date specified in Subsection 108.01 of the SCRs.
Section 108.01 of the SCR's makes no mention of a completed on or before date
Page E-14 of the IFB states:
“The CO will issue a Notice to Proceed before commencement of any work. The contract completion date is November 4, 2021.”
Page C-3, Clause 52.211-10 states:
“The completion date is based on the assumption that the successful offeror will receive the notice to proceed by May 3, 2021.”
2 The MSE Wall detail plan sheet C257-50 notes a typical 0.7H (8’ min.) for the soil reinforcement lengths. The Amec Foster Wheeler geotechnical report section 7.1.1.3 states, “…for a 12 feet high MSE wall, the corresponding width of the MSE wall needs to be about 17 feet…for a 15 feet high MSE wall, the corresponding width of the MSE wall needs to be about 20 feet.” Are the “width” dimensions noted in the geotechnical report the reinforcement lengths required to meet the necessary safety factors? If so, which base-to-height ratio takes precedence
– the plans or the geotechnical report?
Plan Sheets govern, see FP-14 104.04 Coordination of Contract Documents. See Amendment A001 for revised Detail 257-A.
3 In the Special Contract Requirements under section 152.04 General it is stated that there are electronic files for the project. Can those files please be uploaded for a more accurate quantity takeoff. The cross sections that were provided are small and the line weights are heavy making it difficult to distinguish the offsets and depths.
Electronic Cross Sections will not be provided at this time. They will be provided upon award to the selected contractor.
