About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document for federal contract opportunity CO ERFO FS SNJUAN 2026-1(1) Fall Creek Road. The document does not address specific products or services required but rather clarifies technical and contractual requirements during the advertisement period.
Key clarifications include: site visits are not scheduled but the site is open and accessible to the public; proposals are due July 28, 2026; work begins upon Notice-to-Proceed issuance with completion requirements specified in Section 108; a 16x6 concrete box culvert cannot be substituted with a double run of 8x6 per ASTM C1577 as it does not meet design intent regarding debris passage; contractors must submit shop drawings per Section 602 with wall thickness sized appropriately for the 10-foot design earth cover shown in plans; stream diversion specifications require a 2-year peak flow of 205 cfs per Section 628 and the Hydraulic Report Table 4, with contractors permitted to submit alternative flows with supporting analysis. Liquidated damages are assessed at $2,300 per day for delays after the contract completion date, reduced to $230 per day (10 percent of full rate) during approved winter shutdown periods, resuming at the full $2,300 daily rate once winter shutdown ends and work resumes until substantial completion.

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.
