1. Question: Are there any environmental concerns regarding aquatic wildlife that may be encountered while dewatering the ponds?

Response: No rare aquatic species are known or likely to be present. There is no regulatory concern.

2. Question: Are landowners aware that they will lose their fish in the lakes?

Response: Yes, the landowners are aware of that.

3. Question: How much water can the dams store prior to activation of the auxiliary spillways?

Response: Refer to the attached as-built drawings and Section VI of the Emergency Action Plan for each dam.

4. Question: Are there any concerns about the load over the pipe at Dam 63?

Response: No known concern at this time. However, it is the Contractor’s responsibility to protect the existing structures as stated in Technical Specification 02 01 00. As a reminder and in accordance with the Technical Specifications, the Contractor shall provide both pre-construction and post-construction video inspections of the interior condition of the pipe.

5. Question: Did you provide quantities for sediment removal at Dams 2 and 63?

Response: The total volume of sediment to be removed was not provided in the Bidding Documents.

However, the design drawings indicate the minimum limits of dredging. Each Contractor is responsible for determining the means and methods of construction, as well as the minimum dredging necessary around the risers to access the existing gates.

6. Question: We will drain the lakes to take measurements. However, the lakes will be refilled by the time we receive the parts and begin construction. Are you expecting us to keep the reservoirs drained for the entire duration?

Response: Field measurements may be performed under wet conditions. Each Contractor is responsible for determining the means and methods of construction and sequencing of the Work. Reservoirs shall be drained at a rate not to exceed 1 foot per day. Refilling of the reservoirs shall be coordinated with the Owner and Engineer.

7. Question: Are you aware of the lead times required to receive the metal components?

Response: Yes. We will coordinate with the selected Contractor once the lead time for the metal components is known. The project’s substantial completion time is 270 days which is believed to be a sufficient amount of time to receive the required materials and perform installation. However, if excessive lead times for materials are experienced that will impact completion by the substantial

completion date, then the Owner will work with the contractor to issue an appropriate time extension.

8. Question: Are rain days included in the schedule?

Response: Per EJCDC C-800:

“When establishing the Contract Time, an allowance will be made for four (4) calendar days of work lost per month due to inclement weather conditions. The Contractor, at the time of each progress payment request, shall submit to the Engineer and Owner for approval a list of all working days lost due to either inclement weather or site conditions caused by inclement weather for the period. Accompanying this list should be a summary of the specific conditions that caused the loss. This request will be reviewed by the Engineer in light of observations made by the Engineer and resident inspector. Approval of the progress payment request by the Engineer and Owner will also include approval of the weather delay request.

After substantial completion, and not until then, a Change Order must be executed if a time extension for weather-related delays is requested by the Contractor. The time extension must be based solely on the time requested within the progress payment requests. Subtracted from this time will be the four (4) days per month allowance assumed in the Contract, and the remainder shall be considered the number of days lost due to abnormal weather conditions. There cannot be a decrease in Contract length if the allowance for inclement weather exceeds the actual number of days lost due to inclement weather. To convert working days into calendar days, multiply the working days by seven (7) and divide by the number of working days in a typical work week.”

9. Question: Are videos inspection of the pipes available?

Response: Yes, those have been provided with the bid documents.
