Question and Answers Crownpoint Staff Quarters Replacement

75H70124R00004

Item Section Question Response

1 Will Domestic Material be required for this project?

Refer to Section I of the solicitation, clause 52.225-9.

2 What Entity or Agency is Funding this project?

IHS and Service unit are funding this project.

Plan sheet C400

Engineer Utility notes #15 give a description of a 1” service line with a 5/8x3/4 meter setter. Sheet C401 water key notes show 1 ½ service connections and fittings. Could you clarify service line size? If the service line size is 1 ½ are you asking for SCH40?

Material, construction and testing should conform to 2008 NTUA Technical Specifications – found on the informational attachment “Water System Improvement Projects”

The pipe should by Polyethylene (PE) 200 PSI. SIDR 9 in conformance with ASTM D2239. See Sections 3.07.02 to 3.07.05 for saddles, stops and fittings for line connections.

4 Sheet C400

This shows the existing sewer line is 10” Ductile Iron. If so are you tapping into the DI for service connections or cutting in the connection? If you are tapping what kind of saddle would you allow for a tap? If you are cutting in the connection, could you provide a spec for the lining for the MJ fittings?

For all material and testing, please Reference 2008 NTUA Technical Specifications found at the following link -found on the informational attachment “Water System Improvement Projects”

Service connections to existing pipe can be by saddle type fittings per NTUA Technical Specifications 4.03.04. Ductile Iron Wastewater Pipe Fittings. Also reference NTUA standard WWS-1 shown as detail 13 on Sheet C703. Saddle is SDR 35 PVC

Could provide the existing pipe size and type for the water service connections?

The water line is 250mm or 6”. NTUA has as-built information for the water, sewer and gas. This information should be provided to the contractor for use in planning and construction.

6 Sheet C301

Sheet C301 has 2 existing lines that will need to be lowered per sheet C705 detail.

Could you provide the existing pipe size and type?

8” runs north-south and 6” runs east west.

Use detail 30 for crossing cover dimensions

7 Is AASHTO required for the 24” & 30” HDPE on sheet C301?

Refer to 12/C702.

Units 3020, 3021, and 3032 to 3039 are highlighted on the Building Demolition Limits and are not on the Hazardous Materials Report, can the contractor price the abatement for the units not in the Hazardous Materials Report using the survey for unit 3023?

Yes, a contractor can use the price for unit 3023 and be verified by contractor after awarded contract.

Units 3025 to 3031 are listed as part of the contract for demolition in the Hazardous Materials Report and these units are not highlighted on the Building Demolition Limits, is the contractor to demolition units 3025 to 3031 and 3040 as part of the contract?

Refer to sheets A101 and A103 for units to be removed and locations of new units.

Units 3019-2, 3022, 3023, 3024, 3025, 3026, 3027, 3028, 3029, 3030 shall be demolished under phase 2 scope.

Section B, B.2. Contract Pricing CLIN #0017 and 0018 states “Remove only damages curb and gutter and sidewalk” however, the quantity of damaged curb and gutter and sidewalk are not shown on the plans.

Can the Government provide a drawing showing the location and limits for the damaged curd and gutter and sidewalk to be replaces?

See the revised price schedule.

Section B

Price Schedule

It appears that 35 new housing units rather than the 33 referenced in the RFP and plans are shown in the Schedule of Prices. I believe this may be due to CLIN 0009 showing quantity 2 duplexes rather than 1.

Is CLIN 0009 intended to only refer to lot 3044/3045?

It is 33 units per the SOW and RFP. CLIN 0009 was revised to 1 Duplex (from 2). CLIN 0009 description was revised to LOT 3019.

CLIN 0013 was revised to LOT 3044/45.

(See revised Section B)

Section B

Price Schedule

Is the sitework demo and construction listed as phase 1 in CLINS 0004 & 0011 under the Base pricing intended to correspond with phase 1 of the new housing units construction shown on A103?

Similarly, is the sitework demo and construction listed as phase 2 under the Options pricing in CLINS 0015 & 0016 intended to correspond to phase 2 shown on A103? If that is the intent, the number of new housing units listed in the Base and Options pricing sections do not match the number of units listed in phase 1 and phase 2 on A103 respectively. Or is the sitework demo and construction phases 1 and 2 independent of the housing units new construction phases 1 and 2? Said another way, is there a plan that shows what civil demo and new civil construction is considered phase 1 and what is considered phase 2?

Refer to red lined C004 attached showing the Sitework Phase I and Phase 2. See Attachment J11 and revised Section J

Regarding sheet A204, the Key Note 05 52 Metal Patio Railing. The specification book does not include a Metal Patio Railing section nor is it in the Table of Contents.

We are unsure what to bid for these.

Refer to D1/A511 and Section 323119 - Decorative Metal Fences and Gates.

In sections 22 11 16, 22 11 20, and 22 13 16, the specifications reference Section 22 05 48 "Vibration and Seismic Controls for Plumbing Piping and Equipment". I don't see that section in the specifications. Please advise.

Section 22 05 48 "Vibration and Seismic Controls for Plumbing Piping and Equipment" references shall be removed from sections: 22 11 16, 22 11 20, and 22 13 16.

On Sheet G001 Codes and Standards I mentions to uses 2021 IBC Code. Then on the structural sheet S001 it states to use the 2018 IBC Code. Can we get clarification of which code to use for the plans?

Contractor shall apply International Residential Code (IRC) 2021 to 1 Bedroom plans, Two Bedroom plans, Two Bedroom ADA plans, and Duplex plans.

Contractor to shall apply International Building Code (IBC) 2021 to Quadplex plans.

In review of the plans provided on SAMS.gov we did not find a copy of the Geotechnical Report for the project. Please provide.

The Geotechnical Report will be added as Attachment J10. Please see the attached document and a revised section J.

B.2, CLIN 0001: It states to verify quantities 2021 HM report for each building. Does this mean IHS would like to do a HAZMAT full sampling again? Do a full HAZMAT report? Please verify the intent of the bid item

Verify the items identified as hazardous waste are still present and included in the abatement plan to be submitted for approval. No additional testing is required.

If you wanted us to do a full haz mat report, wouldn’t that null and void CLIN 002 and 003 since CLIN 001 essentially says that the current hazmat report is not valid in terms as quantities? Please verify.

No hazardous materials report is required.

An abatement plan is required. The report is accurate as to location and quantities.

The architectural site plan show Phase 1 and Phase 2. The bidding format requires that we break out the streets into Phase 1 and Phase 2 along with other items in particular CLIN’s. We could not locate a plan that separates the civil work (streets, sidewalks, etc) into a Phase 1 and Phase 2.

Could you please send clarification.

See response in #12.

20 We could not find a window schedule.

Please confirm.

All windows are Type A and shall be 60”wx48”h

21 ADA Homes; Does the ADA houses take the same windows and all other houses?

All windows are Type A and shall be 60”wx48”h same as standard units

Glazing; it calls for Argon in the glazing which is not recommended for this altitude but it may after U-Value if taken out. Please confirm Argon is required.

Argon is required, match the performance requirements identified in the glazing schedule of the specification.

H.22 Inspections; It says contractor is responsible for all inspections. Is this only for material inspections or also inspectors hired or employed by IHS? Please clarify.

This is not for “inspections” by the government or representative.

For the Quadplex Option 2, can the Architect provide a complete cross section for the elevation change indicated on the units to be built on lots 3025, 3024, 3032, 3042, 3043, 3046, and 3047? The Civil and Architectural drawing don’t provide enough information on how the contractor is to address the elevation change in the Quadplexes that have this condition. Sheets S134.2 and S134.3 references General Post Tensioned Slab Keynotes 1 – “Verify all dimensions and conditions with Architecture Drawings. Dimensions not noted shall be per approved Architectural Drawings. Resolve any discrepancies with the Architect prior to construction." This condition shown on the Civil and Structural Drawings is not detailed in the Architectural drawings. The Structural drawing provide detail 115-Grade Step at Post Tension Slab on Grade on sheet S512 and detail 215-Wood Roof Trusses at Step in Roof.

Refer to sheet S124.1 and S144.1 and details 115/S512, 215/S522 for transitions at quadplexes option 2 located on lots 3046/3047, 3045/3042 refer to sheets C301, C302,C303 for grading elevations at these lots.

Quadplex located on lots 3031/3032/3033 is not currently part of project scope.

Refer to attached sheet A001r1, A312r1 and A124r1for building transition.

What are the lengths and heights for the retailing walls indicated in the Site Plan Keynotes #15-“Retailing Wall. Refer to Structural Plans”? There is not enough information on Sheet C201, C202, C203, C301, C302, and C303 indicating retaining walls to determine the length and height (top of wall or bottom of wall) on the noted locations retaining walls. The Retaining Wall Detail is shown on Sheet S503. Sheet A204 does not show retaining walls.

Retaining walls shown on plan are 4’ in total height per detail 24/S503. Wall represented graphically as short are to be 5’ in length. Walls represented graphically “longer” shall be 15’ in length.

Can you provide information regarding the product information for the carpeting for Crownpoint staff Quarters? It is listed on the room finish schedules in the drawings, but there is no specification provided

Remove CP1 from Sheet A601 and replace with LV1. No Carpet shall be installed on project.

Please confirm that 410A is the refrigerant of choice. It will no longer be sold by venders for complete installs beginning 2025 per EPA regulations.

The R410A refrigerant requirement shall be removed from project. Provide new HVAC equipment that is configured to use R454 refrigerant.

Is the only project tax applicable the Navajo Nation tax? meaning that federal and state tax will be exempt for this project?

As stated in Section B of the solicitation, all offerors are responsible for allowing for all applicable state, local and tribal (where applicable) taxes and fees within their bids and to perform their own due diligence in ascertaining them. The Contractor is responsible to pay all applicable Tribal fees and/or taxes, or applicable requirements that may be incurred as a result of this project. Failure on the part of the successful Offeror not to include these fees or the appropriate impacts will not constitute a request for an equitable adjustment to the contract price.

Yes, on sheets C100, C101, C102, C103, & C104 (page 8-12 on the drawings) it states in section 6 the removal of the existing fence. Is there exact footage that the owner would like to remove since it’s not very clear what amount of the fence will be removed.

Demolition Plan sheets (C100-C104) correspond with the Site Plan sheets (C200- C204). The fence to be demolished is called out on the Demolition Plan sheets.

Contractor can further compare/contrast with Site Plan sheets for proposed new fencing and tie-in locations to fencing to remain. Contractor can scale drawings to quantify footage of fencing to be removed.

No additional information is required to prepare the pricing for demolition of fencing.
