Addendum #1

DLM COAL COMPANY

Permit # 138-74, 135-78, 58-77, 23-76

PLANT HOLLOW TREATMENT FACILITY

The following are questions that were identified at the Pre-Bid Conference (PBC) conducted on-site on May 11, 2021, Questions provided to WVDEP Procurement, Project Clarifications, Project Notes, Project Changes, Technical Specification Changes, and Project Plan Changes. The answers and clarifications provided herein take precedence over verbal answers at the PBC and previously provided specifications and descriptions provided in the Solicitation should there be any conflicts between the two.

Q1: When dewatering existing Pond 2, Dugout A and B where does the water discharge to?

A1: The water will go into Existing Pond 1 and discharge into the existing stream.

Q2: When dewatering existing Pond 1 where does the water discharge to?

A2: The water from Pond 1 shall be discharged off the side of the bank into the existing stream.

Q3: Where does the sludge from Pond 1, Dugout A and B get moved to?

A3: The sludge from those ponds shall be disposed of in the existing sludge cell near New

Sludge Cells 1 and 2.

Q4: Where is Cutright Lift Station to be built in relationship to the pond?

A4: See Sheet 76 for location.

Q5: What happens to the caustic tanks after the tanks are no longer used for treatment and flushed?

A5: The tanks shall be moved to the DLM shop area. All valves must be removed and saved and caustic lines must be checked by WVDEP before being disposed of. The tanks will then be scraped once we receive permission to do so.

Q6: Is the 24 inch ball valve in Manhole 1 stainless steel? If so, what if there is a long lead time to receive the ball valve due to recent supply shortages?

A6: Yes, the valve is stainless steel. If there is a long lead time to receive this valve then the 24 inch conveyance line from the equalization basin can be plugged until the valve arrives which will require Pond 2 be drained twice, once for initial pipe installation and again once the valve arrives.

Q7: Is Pond 1 an existing pond?

A7: Yes, Pond 1 is an existing pond to be used for temporary treatment while the Plant Hollow

Facility is being constructed. Once the facility is up and running then existing Pond 1 can be bypassed and the new construction for the Final Pond to replace existing Pond 1 can begin as seen on Sheet 40. BEFORE existing Pond 1 can be bypassed the conveyance line from the Control Tee to Manholes 3 and 4 must be installed.

Q8: Will the WVDEP take care of power setup to the site thru Mon Power?

A8: Yes, we have that setup with the power company to have two drops: one at the Panther

Fork Lift Station and one at the main Plant Hollow Facility.

Q9: Where does power come from for the Cutright Lift Station?

A9: Power will be ran out of the MCC at the Control and Pump Building.

Q10: Is all the electrical conduit at the Plant Hollow Facility paid under the Electrical bid item?

A10: Yes.

Q11: Where are the fiber optic splice boxes located?

A11: Locations are as follows: Control and Pump Building, Cutright Lift Station building, Panther Fork Lift Station Building, Existing DLM Shop, on the power pole running to the Plant Hollow Treatment Facility, and on the power pole for the Panther Fork Lift Station.

The two splice boxes that are on power poles will be mounted on two (2) treated 4 x 4 posts with plywood across the middle. This shall be included under bid item Fiber Optic Armored Cable.

Q12: Is the 24 inch HDPE pipe around the Control and Pump Building and Clarifier dual wall culvert pipe?

A12: Yes, dual wall culvert pipe can be used where and option of either HPDE or C-900 is called out. C-900 must be used in locations where only C-900 pipe is explicitly listed.

Q13: Are all pipes around the Plant Hollow Treatment Facility incidental to the plant area?

A13: No, we have line items for all individual piping in the plant area which are paid by linear footage. The 8 inch underdrain pipe around the Clarifier is incidental to the Clarifier. The 8 inch underdrain pipe around the Control and Pump Building is incidental to the Control and Pump Building.

Q14: What is the engineer’s estimate for the project?

A14: The estimate is $8,294,968. This does not reflect the price increases due to pandemic shortages.

Q15: Is there any extra performance time and/or price increase that can be granted after the project is awarded to accommodate for possible delays in material arrivals and shortage price escalations?

A15: There are no provisions for a price increase within the contract. All prices that are bid remain the same throughout the life of the contract. However, delay for weather condition and material shortage/delays can be considered adequate justification for a project time extension.

Q16: Due to price increases on materials because of current market shortages, if materials are ordered earlier on in the project in order to insure delivery, supply, and to take pricing increases into account could received materials be stored on-site?

A16: The Contractor can purchase materials as soon as a submittal is approved. Storage is at the discretion of the Contractor.

Q17: What is the performance period and contract term of the project?

A17: The performance period is 15 months and the contract term is 15 months. See updated

Special Provisions Section 0-0 Project Information.
