About this file

This is Addendum #1 to the Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Little Bog Pond Dam & Lower Trio Pond Dam Reconstruction Project issued by the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) Dam Bureau, dated August 14, 2024. The addendum addresses clarifications to contract specifications and responses to prospective contractor questions raised during the mandatory pre-bid site walk held on August 7, 2024. The project involves the complete reconstruction of two dams located in Coos County within the Nash Stream Forest Natural Area. Key project modifications outlined in the addendum include: mobilization start date revised to May 19, 2025, with possibility of earlier start pending road conditions and NHDES approval; site access closure after the first week of December 2025; revised work hours to Monday through Friday 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM and Saturday 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with Sunday work allowed with prior approval; contractor flexibility regarding cofferdam construction means and methods, with alternative bypass flow solutions acceptable; NHDES commitment to draw down ponds and remove/excavate boulders during fall 2024; contractor responsibility for reusing on-site boulders and managing excess material removal; and updated seed mixes for revegetation in compliance with New Hampshire Natural Heritage Bureau requirements. Bids remain due September 5, 2024, at 2:00 PM EST, with Notice to Proceed expected by December 2024.

The addendum clarifies that the expected total project cost is less than $10 million, making federal prevailing wage requirements inapplicable; the Engineer's Estimate will not be provided to bidders. Contractors must acknowledge receipt of Addendum #1 in their bid submission. Significant contractual clarifications include: NHDES will clear laydown areas of trees but leave stumps for contractor removal; contractors are responsible for minimum access road improvements, snow removal from October through December 2025, and documentation and repair of any roadway damage; contractors may pursue waivers from the Town of Stark for posted roads but must post insurance bonds for heavy equipment use; concrete pads shown on drawings are to remain in place upon project completion; all excess materials including soil, rock, brush, and stumps must be hauled off-site; both dams may be worked simultaneously; and contractors are permitted to work within pond limits for cofferdam installation. The project requires comprehensive loaming, seeding, and revegetation of all disturbed areas using specified seed mixes—the New England Erosion Control/Restoration Mix for Detention Basins and Moist Sites for wetland areas and the New England Logging Road Mix for upland areas—with contractor responsibility for maintenance until final acceptance with 80 percent vegetative cover establishment. The project is funded through dedicated American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, and while contractors must make best efforts to purchase American materials, such purchases are not mandatory.

1. Introductions and Project Overview

2. Laydown Areas

• NHDES to will clear all trees in laydown areas shown on Contract Drawings in Fall of 2024.

NHDES will remove timber but leave stumps. The contractor will be responsible for stump removal.

• Contractor responsible for any clearing adjacent to the dam work.

3. Site Access

• Contract documents currently state the mobilization may commence on May 5th, 2025. After further discussions the Contractor will be able to mobilize on May 19th, 2025, with the possibility to start one or two weeks earlier pending road conditions and approval by NHDES. The access to Nash

Stream will be closed after the first week of December 2025. The contractor will be responsible for any snow removal in the fall of 2025 (October, November and December) to access the site.

Punchlist items can be completed the following spring from May 2026 through June 2026.

• Accessing the site the first two weeks of May will depend on winter snowfall amounts and conditions of access road in spring. Condition of roadway will need to be documented prior to commencing construction activities. Any damage to roadway will be responsibility of contractor to repair.

• Emerson Road, which is the primary access to Nash Stream Road, is maintained by the Town of

Stark. This road may be posted in the first few weeks of May for oversized loads to reduce frost heaves. At the Contractor’s discretion, they can seek a waiver from the Town of Stark if the road is posted but will need to post an insurance bond with the Town to use heavy equipment on this road.

Spring conditions vary and sometimes the posting is lifted at the end of April.

4. Work Hours

• Contract documents currently state work hours are to be Monday – Friday 7 A.M. to 6 P.M.

GEI Consultants, Inc. 1 | P a g e

• After discussions we are proposing to change working hours to be Monday – Friday 6 A.M. to 8

P.M., and Saturday 8 A.M. to 6 P.M. with Sunday work allowed with prior approval by RPR and

NHDES.

5. Cofferdam Construction/Construction Sequence

• Clarification that cofferdam does not need to be a Port-A-Dam and other alternative will be considered.

• Alternative means to provide bypass flows will also be considered.

o Excavation plan as shown in Contractor drawings is a suggestion and could be expanded to allow any bypass piping to run adjacent to new spillway footprint and construct spillway in one phase.

• Means and methods of cofferdam construction are ultimately up to the Contractor. Any plan will need to be approved by RPR and NHDES.

• NHDES will draw down ponds during Fall of 2024.

o At Little Bog Pond NHDES will remove/excavate boulders within the spillway and lower impoundment approximately four to five feet. The Contractor may have to remove an additional one to two feet to achieve elevation 2036.0 per the contract drawings.

o At Lower Trio NHDES will remove existing stop logs which will draw down the impoundment to the upstream toe of the embankment. Additional drawdown may have to occur in the spring and/or summer of 2025 to achieve elevation 2305.0 per the contract drawings.

6. Reuse of On-Site Riprap

• The Contractor is to reuse as many existing boulders on-site as possible. Some boulders will need to be broken mechanically to achieve the riprap specification.

• Assume excess boulders will be removed from the site by the Contractor. Coordinated with the

RPR/Owner before removal for possible alternate use on-site.

7. Access Road

• Contractors responsible for minimum improvements needed to get equipment up to Lower Trio

Pond Dam.

8. Bidding Process

• Bids Due September 5th by 2 P.M. EST

• Notice to Proceed provided at latest in December 2024

9. Prevailing Wages

• The expected total cost of the project is estimated to be less than $10 million and therefore Section

10. Buy America Requirement

• There is a requirement for Contractor to make best effort to buy American, but it is not required.

ITEM #2: Revised seed mix called out in specification Section 32 92 19 2.03A and B and on drawings C-109, C-110, C-209, and C-210 in response to discussions with New Hampshire Natural Heritage Bureau. Updated drawings sheets and spec language is included as Attachment #2.

ITEM #3: Response to Contractor Questions

1. Will NHDES consider a 1 week bid date extension to 9/12/2024? No.

2. Will the concrete pad shown on sheet C‐103 detail A, require removal at the completion of the project? Concrete pad is to be left in place.

3. Will an on‐site location be provided for disposal of surplus soils, rock, brush and stumps? No, Contractor to assume all excess material will be hauled off-site for disposal.

GEI Consultants, Inc. 2 | P a g e

4. Can the CAD file be provided for use during the bid preparation? No.

5. Please confirm both Dams can be worked simultaneously. Yes, work on both dams can be preformed concurrently.

6. During the site walk it was discussed that the Contractor has the option of moving the cofferdams closer to t he dams, to alleviate the retained height of the water. If this is required because of limitations with the Porta

‐Dam then will GEI revise the limits of grading to coincide with the Porta‐Dam relocation? See additonal

Cofferdam Dam notes provided under ITEM #1. Grading limits as shown on Contract Drawings will not be revised. Slope of proposed dam embankment needs to remain at 2.5:1.

7. Please confirm that the Contractor can enter the pond to remove obstructions for the installation of the Porta‐

Dam. Contractor is permitted to work within the Limits of Work as shown on the Contract Drawings, including areas within the pond as needed for installation of cofferdams.

8. Please confirm that should the temporary measures fail due to a storm in excess of the design by GEI, then it will be considered an act of God and the Contractor shall be held harmless. The drawings show a concept for control of water and the minimum requirements for the Contractor perform a delegated design of the cofferdam. Means and methods of cofferdam design and construction are ultimately up to the

Contractor.

9. Please confirm the 24" pipes can be installed outside the reconstructed spillway allowing the entire structure to be built in one phase. Yes, see additonal Cofferdam Dam notes provided under ITEM #1.

10. Please confirm if weekend work is allowed. Yes, see response provided under ITEM #1.

11. Please confirm that the Owner/Engineer do not require a trailer. Owner/Engineer does not need trailer on-site. The Contractors trailer/facility shall be large enough to accommodate on-site meetings and office space for the RPR for duration of construction.

12. Please confirm limits of tree clearing by DES. See response provided under ITEM #1.

13. Please confirm that the proposed design for Lower Trio Road does not need to be constructed. All that is ne eded is for the Contractor to be able to access the work area as needed with materials and equipment. As stated under Item #1, Contractors is responsible for minimum improvements needed to get materials, equipment, and personnel up to Lower Trio Pond Dam.

14. Please confirm if Title is available for the disposal of the box truck. If not, then how to proceed. Title is not available for box truck and owner is unknown. Follow procedures outlined in State of New

Hampshire Title and Anti-Theft Handbook.

15. Please confirm that the Project is not required to follow the "Buy American" regulations. See response provided under ITEM #1.

16. Based upon observations made during the site walk, and due to a lack of subsurface investigations, will NH

DES revise the Bid Form to provide an item for Rock Removal, including ledge and boulders within the req uired excavations? As outlined in the Spec Section 01 20 00: Measurement and Payment, removal and stockpiling of existing boulders is to be paid for under “General Site Demolition”.

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.01 LOAM

A. Loam shall be amended in accordance with the recommendations of the Testing

Laboratory provided in their report and in accordance with thesespecifications.

B. Loam shall be spread on the designated areas so as to form a cover of loam to a minimum depth of six (6) inches unless otherwise shown on the drawings or directed by the RPR.

Areas designated for covering with loam shall be scarified or otherwise roughened, just prior to the application of loam. After the spreading of loam all stiff clods, hard lumps, large stones, trash, wood, brush, stumps, roots, or other objectionable material shall be gathered and removed from loamed area. Compaction may be accomplished by the use of a lawn roller commonly used for this work.

C. Promptly fertilize, seed, mulch, or otherwise cover, and stabilize through tracking with suitable equipment any loam placed on grades steeper than 5 percent.

3.02 APPLICATION RATES OF LIMESTONE, FERTILIZER AND SEED

A. Prepared soils shall be collected and submitted to the approved testing for testing in accordance with their guidelines. At a minimum, the soil shall be tested as per the requirements in Paragraph 2.01 of this Section. Soils shall be treated in accordance with the recommendations of the Testing Laboratory provided in their report.

B. Limestone, if required by the results of soil testing, shall be applied and thoroughly incorporated in the layer of loam to adjust the acidity of thematerial. Typical limestone application rates in the area have been on the order of one hundred and thirty-five pounds

(135 lbs.) per thousand square foot (1,000 sq. ft.); however, the results of the test shall dictate the rate of limestone application.

C. Fertilizer, if required by the results of soil testing, shall be raked to a depth of at least two inches (2") and the area brought to a smooth surface. Typical fertilizer application rates in the area have been on the order of seven and one-half pounds (7.5 lbs.) per one thousand square feet (1,000 sf); however, the results of the test shall dictate the rate of fertilizer application.

D. Limestone and/or fertilizer shall be mixed thoroughly into the loam seedbed during preparation and prior to seeding. Mixing shall be accomplished through disking or similar method.

E. Compost, if required, may be incorporated into the loam prior to spreading or following spreading. Application rate should be as required to achieve a minimum or 10% organic matter. Typically, this can be achieved by applying a 2- to 4-inch depth of compost on top of the spread loam and thoroughly incorporating the compost into the upper six (6) inches of soil. Wide-tracked equipment must be used to avoid compaction of thesoil.

F. Mulch shall be applied at a rate of seventy to ninety pounds (70-90 lbs) per one thousand square feet (1,000 sf). As an alternative to mulch, or if mulch is found to be ineffective in preventing erosion prior to vegetation establishment, erosion control blankets may be installed as per the manufacture’srecommendations.

3.03 TIME OF SEEDING

A. The recommended seeding periods are from April 1 to June 1, and from August 15 to

October 1. The CONTRACTOR may seed at other times. Regardless of the time of

June 2024 32 92 19-6 seeding, the CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for a full establishment of vegetation.

When directed, areas in the project which do not develop satisfactory growth shall be re-fertilized and reseeded. Re-fertilizing the reseeding shall be incidental to the original seeding item requirements. All seeding must be completed by October 15, unless authorization is obtained from the RPR.

B. Dormant seeding after October 15 shall be allowed, however, seed application rate shall be doubled.

3.04 FERTILIZING AND LIMING

A. Fertilizing and liming shall be done when the soil is in a moist condition and at least twenty-four (24) hours before the sowing of seed. The fertilizer and lime shall be applied to the soil by means of a mechanical spreader or other approved method capable of maintaining a uniform rate of application and shall be thoroughly harrowed, raked or otherwise mixed with the soil to a depth of not less than one (1) inch. The fertilizer and lime shall not be applied together. If the limestone and fertilizer are applied dry, the limestone shall precede the fertilizer and shall be worked thoroughly into the soil before the fertilizer is spread.

B. Extreme care shall be taken by the CONTRACTOR so as not to introduce fertilizer into the Lake, outlet channel or other waterways. Over-fertilization will not be allowed.

3.05 SOWING SEED

A. Seed of the required mixture and quality shall be spread by a mechanical seeder or other method which sow the seed uniformly at the required rate over the entire area to be seeded. The mechanical seeder shall be capable of being operated to avoid the growth of vegetation in rows and shall be so operated. After seeding, all areas shall be lightly raked by hand to mix the seed and loam. Seeded areas shall be rolled with a lawn roller not to exceed one hundred and twenty pounds (120 lbs.) in weight.

3.06 TEMPORARY EROSION CONTROL BLANKET INSTALLATION

A. Erosion control blankets shall be installed over all areas of revegetation where slopes exceed 3:1 (H:V). The downstream slope of the re-shaped outlet channel banks will require an erosion control blanket(s).

B. Protection of seeded areas shall be either through the installation of temporary biodegradable erosion control blankets or the application of mulch. Temporary erosion control blankets may be necessary if mulch is found to be ineffective in controlling erosion prior to the establishment of vegetation.

C. Temporary erosion control blankets shall be installed as per the manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations. In general, such blankets are installed down

(perpendicular to) slopes and are anchored in a shallow trench at the top of the slope.

D. All temporary erosion control blankets must be anchored to the ground by the use of stakes, as per the manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations. In general, stakes should be placed in staggered rows on 2- to 3-foot centers. Stakes should be long enough to achieve adequate anchorage.

3.07 MULCHING

A. Protection of seeded areas shall be either through the application of mulch or the installation of temporary biodegradable erosion control blankets.

June 2024 32 92 19-7

B. Areas which have been seeded shall be mulched immediately following seeding. Areas which cannot be seeded within the specified seeding periods shall be mulched to provide temporary protection to the soil surface. Mulch shall be spread with a mulch blower or by hand. Mulch shall be immediately anchored with a mulch-anchoring tool (operated perpendicular to the contour) or by tracking with a tracked vehicle (operated parallel to the contour). Applying mulch simultaneous to seeding in a hydroseeding operation is acceptable.

C. Straw mulch shall be applied to seeded areas at a rate of ten (10) pounds per one hundred

(100) square feet. The rate shall be doubled for unseeded areas.

3.08 MAINTENANCE

A. The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for the watering and other proper care of the seeded areas until final acceptance. If seeded areas have not established by the end of the

Fall growing season, the maintenance period shall extend through the following Spring.

3.09 REPAIR

A. The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for repair of all damage to and erosion of the loamed and seeded areas until final acceptance by the RPR and NHDES. Repair responsibilities shall include, but not be limited to, repair of eroded areas, reseeding, replacement of erosion control measures, regrading, etc. The intent is to facilitate the establishment of an adequate ground cover over all disturbed areas on the site. If seeded areas have not established by the end of the Fall growing season, the period during which the CONTRACTOR is responsible for repairs shall extend through the following Spring.

3.10 ACCEPTANCE

A. Seeded area final stabilization shall be considered complete when all soil-disturbing activities have been completed and a uniform, perennial vegetative cover with a density of eighty percent has been established or equivalent stabilization measures (such as the use of mulches or erosion control matting) have been employed on all unpaved areas not covered by permanent structures. achievement of final stabilization shall be determined by NHDES.

B. The CONTRACTOR is responsible for ensuring that a satisfactory firm stand of vegetation is obtained and shall do all necessary re-loaming, re-fertilizing and reseeding and make all necessary repairs, regardless of cause of damage, to this effect until final acceptance of the project.

C. If seeded areas have not established and been accepted by the end of the Fall growing season, the RPR and NHDES will defer evaluation for acceptance until the following

Spring.
