Questions and Answers during Advertisement for OK ERFO NP CHIC 2024-1(1) Veterans Lake Trail Bridge
April 17, 2025
Questions Answers 1 Can you please provide additional information on the Submerged
Bridge? The drawings give the length and width of the bridge.
We need to be able to calculate the Weight of the submerged bridge.
If the original submittals are available, they would provide all the necessary information. We suspect this was a performance specification from looking at the drawings as there is very little information provided.
The weight of the existing bridge is unknown, but roughly estimated to be 70,000 lb; with, the bridge condition and underwater weight/buoyancy also unknown. It is unknown if the existing bridge is intact, or if it is lodged in the lakebed. The only information known about the existing bridge is provided in the physical data as listed in FAR Clause 52.236-4. Refer to SCR Subsection 203.04 for requirements to develop a bridge removal plan, including assessment and documentation of existing bridge conditions.

2 We can find no reference within the bid documents to the required warranty period associated with this contract, and the typical government FAR clauses which address warranty (FAR 52.246- 21 or Subpart 46.7) do not seem to be included by reference. Can you please clarify the required warranty period associated with this contract or direct the bidders where this information can be found?
There are no warranties for the project.

4 On sheet B1 summary of quantities – schedule A, is noting hydraulic seeding and hydraulic mulching, we cannot seem to
Review the following for more information:
