About this file
This file is a Questions and Answers document for federal contract opportunity CO ERFO FS SNJUAN 2026-1(1) Fall Creek Road, containing clarifications issued between July 14 and August 6, 2026.
The project involves construction work on Fall Creek Road with a proposal deadline of July 28, 2026. Work commences upon Notice-to-Proceed issuance with completion requirements detailed in Section 108 of the contract. Key technical requirements include installation of a 16x6 concrete box culvert (not subject to substitution with double 8x6 configuration) sized for 10 feet of earth cover, with contractors required to submit shop drawings per Section 602. Stream diversion work must accommodate a 2-year peak flow of 205 cfs as specified in Section 628 and documented in the Hydraulic Report Table 4. Liquidated damages are assessed at $2,300 per day for delays, reduced to $230 per day (10 percent) during approved winter shutdown periods, resuming at the full rate upon work resumption. Site visits are not officially scheduled but the site is open to public access. Tax treatment is governed by RFO Clause 52.229-3 regarding Federal, State, and Local Taxes. The contract references special requirements in Section 108.05 regarding failure to complete work on time, with specific provisions addressing winter weather impacts on project schedules.

1 Is the 16x6 able to be changed to a double run of 8x6 per ASTM
C1577.
No, while the conveyance area might be equal, a double barrel CBC does not meet the design intent, especially with regards to debris passage.
2 Is the Concrete Box Culvert going to be redesigned for the depth of cover required in the drawings? Existing specifications indicate a maximum cover of 4 feet vs the design of 10 feet.
The contractor is required to submit shop drawings per Section 602 of the Special Contract Requirements. The wall thickness of the submitted box culvert should be sized appropriate to design earth cover as conveyed in the plans and cross sections.
3 The Substituted paragraphs on page E-12, 108.05 Failure to Complete Work on Time are confusing. If a Winter storm event shuts down the job, are we going to be charged $230.00 / Day until we can go back to work?
If the project enters an approved winter shutdown period after the contract completion date, liquidated damages will be assessed at $230.00 per day.
Under Section 108.05 of the Special Contract Requirements, liquidated damages assessed during an active winter shutdown period are reduced to 10 percent of the full rate specified in FAR Clause 52.211-12.
Once the winter shutdown ends and work resumes, the full liquidated damages rate of $2,300.00 per day will resume until the work is substantially complete.

1 We saw that in the fall creek project that there was a line item with spring bypass/ creek bypass. We have heard from a few contractors that they would like numbers to assist in the bypass. I looked through the plans and was able to locate what CFS the bridge will need to be able to withstand but was unable to locate the CFS the creek is expected to be running at when the project is happening. Do you have any additional information to this, or can you point me in the right direction?
Section 628 specifies a stream diversion for a 2-year peak flow, which is 205 cfs in this case, as shown in the Hydraulic Report Table 4. See Section
628.03 for contractor submittal requirements. A different flow and supporting analysis can be submitted with the contractor's diversion plan. Since this stream is not gaged, CFL cannot make this determination or provide a recommendation.
