50. Please define the starting and ending dates for the in-water work restriction window for this task order.

Answer: Section 01800-01111-3.1.1 defines the standard in water work window (IWWW) at this location. The USCG is initiating the request for an exemption from NMFS that would allow demolition and dredging to occur outside of this window if needed; however, the contractor is responsible for obtaining any permits outside of the normal work window. For proposal purposes, contractors are to assume that no NMFS exemption will be granted. Pile driving or other actions that produce high levels of noise or vibration in the estuarine environment would still be restricted to the normal IWWW.

51. Please provide a copy of any and all permit applications (along with any accompanying backup materials) that have been submitted to date for this task order.

Answer: No permit applications have been completed by the Government up to this point. The Biological Assessment, and Incidental Harassment Authorization documentation are in preparation and

Placement tolerances, is 2-foot a minimum with an over placement allowance, an average, over and under placement tolerances. Verification of placement based on bathymetric survey only.

Answer: Appendix A - Sheet C-001 and C-003 have been updated to include additional Notes for sand material and placement tolerance. The verification method has been added as Spec Section 01800- 1.9.1.4.1, which is included in this amendment

110. UFC 3-400-01 appendix D The UFC does not require floor drains at emergency shower stations per UFC 3-420-01, Appendix D. However, some owner/end users prefer them. If provided, an oil water separator would be required, which can be a maintenance problem over time. Also, if the emergency shower station is within a hazmat/water reactive area - UFC 3-420-01, Appendix D, figure D-1 is required when a floor drain is present. Please confirm that owner/end use does not want a floor drain at the emergency shower station. If desired, please note that we do not consider the Boat Bay to meet the definition of a Hazmat/ Water reactive Area. Please confirm the Boat Bay is not considered a Hazmat/Water reactive area.

Answer: 1. Floor drain is not required for the Eye Wash. Eye wash is not located in a hazmat/water reactive area. 2. Boat Bay – is not Hazmat/ water reactive area. Floor drain is not required

112. UFC 3-400-01 appendix D UFC 3-420-01, Appendix D mentions to provide a water flow-initiated alarm at each Emergency shower or Eye-wash/shower. This wasn’t included in 01800,

1.11.3.11. Please confirm that an alarm and flashing strobe is required

Amendment 0005 13

Answer: Water flow-initiated alarm at each Emergency shower or Eye-wash/shower is not required.

115. 01800 1.12.1.11 states, "Exhaust shall be directed to the weather and shall have local control".

Please confirm that exhaust shall be routed to exterior of building and shall have local control

Answer: Confirmed, exhausts shall be routed to the exterior of the building and shall have local controls.

117. 1.12.1.11 requires that restrooms and laundry be air-conditioned. Specifically the modular building laundry room and men’s and women’s rooms open directly to the outdoors and don't connect to adjacent conditioned spaces. For energy efficiency and reduction in energy consumption these three specific spaces in the modular building would be best not air-conditioned. Please confirm that laundry, men’s, women’s in the modular building need only be ventilated and heated.

Answer: Toilet and Laundry in the modular building shall be cooled via thermostatically controlled mechanical ventilation equipment. See Revised Spec Section 01801-2.10.2 included with this amendment.

119. The RFP requires that piles are designed for a 50 year service life. Paragraphs 1.8.8 and 1.8.12.1 provide a list of acceptable methods for obtaining the 50 year service life. Are we required to comply by limiting the methods to those provided or may other options be included at the discretion of the designer of record?

Answer: Per Section 01800-1.8.12.1.1, piles shall be HDG with a sacrificial wall thickness. Beyond that, the contractor is not limited to the methods listed. Any method will be subject to Government review during design.

120. 01800 1.8 The RFP states that piles shall be hot dip galvanized at a minimum. It goes on to list other options "beyond the HDG". Are the other options intended to be in addition to HDG or in lieu of

HDG.

Answer: In addition to HDG.

121. 01800 1.8 Is it allowable to propose precast prestressed piles in lieu of steel if acceptable by the designer of record?

Answer: Steel piles have been used for initial permitting consultation and concept design. Precast prestressed piles may be used in lieu of steel if acceptable by the designer of record. However, it is the responsibility of the Contractor to obtain permits in a timely manner, and if precast piles use any other installation procedure or increase underwater coverage (increased pile number) that impact permit consultation, it would be at cost to the contractor.

Amendment 0005 14

128. Is the pier dry standpipe system required to be monitored by a pier fire alarm system? Or will valves be supervised with lock and chain? If fire alarm monitoring is required, is there any requirement for manual means to activate the fire alarm system on the pier? i.e. manual pull stations.

Answer: Fire alarm monitoring and fire alarm system devices are not required on the pier. A dry standpipe system installed per NFPA 14 does not require control valves or waterflow switches between the FDC and the hose valves/connections. If control valves are installed they should be chained and locked in the open position for supervision.

129. Are there any additional flow and pressure requirements for the pier standpipe system based on potential boats docked there? Or are we just required to provide the pressure and flow in accordance with NFPA 14 and NFPA 303?

Answer: To meet requirements of the FRC ILSP (Appendix L), the dry standpipe system shall be designed to deliver 500 gpm at 125 psi from each of the two hydraulically most remote hose connections, in lieu of 250 gpm at 100 psi per NFPA 14. Hydraulic calculation requirements shall otherwise meet NFPA 14 and NFPA 303.
