Programmatic Environmental Assessment for Pier P

Attachment - Programmatic Environmental Assessment for US Coast Guard Base Charleston Expansion & Land Exchange indicates in paragraph 8 under Replacing Piers N and P - Dredging indicates that Hydraulic dredges are slow and noisy which gives marine life sufficient time to get out of the way of the dredge. The material to be dredged is assumed contaminated based on sediment analysis report and hydraulic dredging of contaminated material is not an acceptable means based on the material being contaminated. Advise if mechanical dredging is acceptable.

Per RFP Section 1.18.2, the contractor will obtain all required permits and shall be responsible for incorporating all permit conditions and constraints into the design and ensuring compliance with permits is maintained throughout the project.

Dredging requirements will be outlined in the permit process with USACE & the state. If all permit(s) issued allow mechanical dredging it is an acceptable means to complete dredging work.

Attachment - Programmatic Environmental Assessment for US Coast Guard Base Charleston Expansion & Land Exchange indicates under Dredging Restrictions on page 32 of 215 that Dredging is performed during the winter months (November through February) to avoid impact to West Indian Manatee. Advise if the dredging restriction to occur (November - February) is a requirement or if dredging can occur outside the winter months?

Bidders should not assume that the USCG can waive or modify any such restrictions.

Final RFP Pier Papa Specs

The Final RFP Pier Papa Specs under Item 1.8.1.2 indicates the RFP includes construction of a new bulkhead from Pier Mike to Pier November. Under Section 1.1.1 Project Description it is indicated scope of work includes demolition and replacement of 1,200 LF of damaged bulkhead. This length of bulkhead would be the length between Pier Mike to Pier Papa.

Advise what portion of the bulkhead is actually to be replaced?

The limits of bulkhead work are shown on the RFP drawings. Specification 01800- 1.1..1 identifies 1,200 LF, however, the measured drawings show 1,000 LF (rounded). The measurement refers both the missing section and the existing section. See Amendment.

5 12/16/2021 Page 159 of

The Final RFP Pier Papa Specs under Item 1.19.7.2 Estimated Quantities indicates the estimated quantity for bidding purposes shall be 385,449 CY which based on our takeoff appears to be the dredge quantity required for both Piers November and Piers Papa. Drawing C-117 indicates dredging is to occur on the east and west side of pier November which would suggest a lesser quantity. Advise if the bid quantity for this RFP is 385,449 CY or is to be adjusted based on actual work to occur as shown in drawing C-117

Base bids on the 'estimated quantity for bidding' as provided in RFP Specification 01800-1.19.7.2.

Contractor is allowed to initiate multiple phases work simultaneously. See Amendment other demolition or construction begins. Advise if it is the intent is to not dredge in the footprint of the existing pier considering the dredging is to occur before demolition? Otherwise advise if demolition of the Pier November can occur before or during dredge operation to allow for dredging to occur in the footprint of existing Pier November once the existing pier and piles are removed in its entirety.
