The RFP reference ECS's geotechnical report as the basis for liquifaction potential and site class determination. ECS's report is primarily based on International Building Code criteria, as it performed as a shallow foundation evaluation for landside building structures.

This project is primarily a pier & wharf replacement project, which would typically fall under ASCE 61-14 Seismic Design of Piers and Wharves for seismic design criteria (for example, UFC 4-152-01 defers to ASCE 61-14 for seismic design).

Please clarify that Site Class F shall be assumed for bidding.

Please also clarify if the governing seismic design code is ASCE 61-14.

The Contractor is responsible for a site assessment of liquefaction potential.

Correct, UFC 4-152-01 defers to ASCE 61- 14 and shall apply.

Specification 01800, Section 1.19.7.2

Estimated Quantity – in various locations within the RFP documents and the PEA are statements that a portion of the sediments are considered contaminated; however, this estimated quantity section nor the RFP drawings subdivide the contaminated from the non-contaminated sediments in quantity, location, and depth.

Likewise, Specification 01800, Section 1.18.2.1 (and 1.18.9) states “portions of the dredge spoils should…be assumed as contaminated. The Contractor must review environmental reports found in Attachment E and assumed these reports to reflect existing site conditions.”

However, the Attachment E documents do not delineate or quantify the contaminated portion of the sediments/dredged material.

Will this information be provided?

No, regarding sediments and the contaminated/noncontaminated categories, the government has provided all information available. The contractor must further delineate this material as required to comply with all environmental permits issued and assure proper disposal of each category.

contractor must meet all permit and regulatory requirements. Should additional sampling be required to meet permit application and/or segregation of materials, the contractor will be responsible for planning and executing these requirements.

55 1/14/2022

Specification 01800, Section 1.19.11

Disposal of Excavated Material indicates that the contractor shall provide safe transportation and disposal of dredged materials at an approved disposal area. Please clarify if USCG has agreements in place or coordinated with USACE for placement of dredged material at nearby CDF or other facility, or if USCG anticipates that the materials shall be dewatered upland and disposed of at an upland facility.

The USCG has no agreements in place with the USACE to utilize any specific dredge spoil areas. The designated dredge spoil area to be used will be determined as part of the USACE permit issued to cover dredging requirements.

56 1/14/2022

Specification 01800, Section 1.19.11

Disposal of Excavated Material

– If material is to be disposed of at an upland facility, does USCG have a specific location within the project boundaries that dredged material dewatering and handling shall occur? The RFP drawings do not show a Sediment Processing & Dewatering temporary waterfront facility.

The USCG has no agreements in place with the USACE to utilize any specific dredge spoil areas. The designated dredge spoil area to be used will be determined as part of the USACE permit issued to cover dredging requirements.

Has there been any discussions with Dominion regarding electrical service to the electrical equipment shelter? What will be the scope of work for Dominion and the contractor regarding this primary service? If the scope of work is not clearly defined at this point, should an allowance be applied to cover the work on the primary electrical service?

No. It should be assumed that the Utility will be providing connection(s) into their grid as required for the design. It is the responsibility of designer to interface and provide the necessary technical information to the utility to meet the requirements of the project.
