Q3: When will the last Addendum be issued?

A3: Tuesday, May 7 at 2 pm.

Q4: What organizations can provide assistance in the recruitment and/or placement of SLBEs?

A4: CCWA can certify Firms that meet the SLBE Program requirements found in the Project Manual for Bid Number:2024-WP-12 Jonesboro Repump Station Improvements Volume I, Section 00 43 39.01. Detailed SLBE Program requirements and SLBE Certification Applications can be found on our website at: https://www.ccwa.us/smalllocal-business-program/. Firms that meet the SLBE Program requirements and are interested in becoming certified as a CCWA SLBE Certified Firm can email ccwa_slbe_program@ccwa.us for application processing.

Q5: I’ve located a pdf copy of the Certified SLBE List on the CCWA website but was hoping that you could provide a copy of the list in Microsoft Excel format.

A5: A Microsoft Excel version is not available.

32457-027 Jonesboro RPS Improvements-3 00 91 13.02

Q6: Can you recommend a general circulation media that we might run an advertisement in for SLBE / MWBE firms?

A6: CCWA cannot offer a recommendation.

Q7: Regarding Section 00 45 13 Part 1.01 B. and Section 00 21 13 Part 1.07 G., how many projects (minimum) need to be included as part of the bidders qualifications?

A7: There shall be a minimum number of three (3) projects included as part of the bidders’ qualifications.

Q8: Article 1.14 in the Instructions to Bidders references prevailing wage rates. Please confirm whether Davis Bacon wage rates apply to the project.

A8: The Davis Bacon wage rates do NOT apply to this project.

Q9: Is the Contractor required to be onsite for the Administration Period referenced in Section 01 14 00 Part 1.03?

A9: The Contractor is not required to be onsite until it mobilizes at the completion of the Administrative Period.

Q10: Section 01 52 00 Part 1.01 A. 1. requires the Contractor to erect a field office and storage containers within 120 days of NTP. We assume that the generator, electrical gear, and valves will have significantly long lead-times, so the trailer and storage containers will probably sit “idle” before any significant work can begin. Is this requirement necessary?

A10: To accommodate the delivery schedule of major equipment or long-lead items, the Owner will consider an adjustment to the Administrative Period timeframe based upon the approved Initial Progress Schedule as required in Section 01 32 00 Construction Progress Schedule, assuming that any extension of the Administrative Period will not extend the Project’s Substantial Completion timeframe. Refer to PART 1 – B.1 of this Addendum.

Q11: Is the existing antenna tower to be demolished shown on C050 currently in service? It appears that the tower will need to be removed in order to replace BFV-400D. Does a means of temporary communication need to be provided once the tower is removed?

A11: The existing antenna tower is not in service. Temporary communication will not need to be provided.

Q12: Regarding Addendum 1, Q&A #11, please provide contact information for the gas utility provider.

A12: See Drawing G002.

32457-027 Jonesboro RPS Improvements-4 00 91 13.02

Q13: Regarding Shutdown No. 5, since pumps 1 & 2 will have been replaced under Shutdown No. 4 (but will not have been started up), please confirm that the process equipment in operation during Shutdown No. 5 should be “all remaining pumps” (i.e. pumps 3 & 4) instead of “all existing pumps”.

A13: All pumps that are in service prior to the start of the project that are still in service when Shutdown No. 5 occurs shall remain in service during Shutdown No. 5.

Q14: Can the proposed (new) generator be used to energize and commission the electrical building prior to transferring power from the existing transformer to the new electrical building? If so, please confirm that fuel for this operation will be provided by the Owner per Section 01 14 00 Part 1.06 B. 6.

C.

A14: The proposal to use the new generator system to energize and commission the electrical building prior to connecting the new building to the Georgia Power transformer is not the intent of the Project but would be considered for review/approval by the Engineer/Owner during construction. The intent of the project is to keep the existing MCC connected to the Georgia Power transformer while the new service to SWGR-JB is installed (see Note 5 on Dwg E501). Note that 01 14 00 Part 1.06.B.6.c does not apply to this project as there is not an “existing generator” at the Jonesboro RPS. See instead Section 26 32 13 Part 3.03.A.3.k which requires fuel to be provided by the Contractor.

Q15: Please confirm that the following is your intent for the electrical sequencing / utility switchover:

A. Test and commission new generator.

B. Energize and commission new electrical building using proposed (new) generator.

C. Install standby generator for existing pumps #3 and #4 / MCC.

D. Transfer utility feed from the transformer to existing MCC to the transformer to the new electrical building.

E. Start-up and test new pumps #1 and #2.

F. 14-day operational period for pumps #1 and #2.

G. Replace BFVs on existing pumps #3 and #4 (Shutdown No. 6).

H. Replace pumps #3 and #4.

I. Remove standby generator.

J. Demo existing MCC.

K. Start-up and test new pumps #3 and #4.

L. 14-day operational period for pumps #3 and #4.

A15: See the answer to Q14: above. The proposed sequencing is not exactly the intent of the Project but would be considered for review/approval by the Engineer/Owner during construction.

32457-027 Jonesboro RPS Improvements-5 00 91 13.02

Q16: Since the Contractor is acknowledging all addenda issued in Article 2.11 of the Bid Form, do all addenda still need to be included with the bid submittal as instructed in Section 00 21 13 Part 1.16 E. 9.?

A16: All Addenda need to be included with the bid submittal and signed by the Contractor in the table on the last page. However, the attachments to the Addenda do not need to be submitted with the bid.

Q17: Referencing A500 and A503, Door 500A is shown to have a transom in drawing A503, however, this is not shown or listed on the door schedule on A500. Is a transom required for door 500A?

A17: See PART 2 – C in this Addendum.

Q18: Referencing 1-3/A505, Both the louver and single door details (1 & 3) depict jamb angles/steel; however, this is not shown for the double door (2). Can you please confirm jamb angles/steel are not required for the double door.

A18: See PART 2 – D in this Addendum.

Q19: Since Addendum 1 eliminated all line stops from the project, we assume that Unit Price Items 5.7, 5.8, and 5.9 will be removed from the Bid Form.

Please confirm.

A19: Unit Price Items 5.7 – 5.9 will not be removed from the Bid Form. These Unit Price Items are included in case CCWA is unable to isolate the distribution system to replace the yard valves indicated by the Drawings.

Q20: Drawing S501 Details calling for 57 stone under slab – can we use grated aggregate base as an alternative to the 57 stone under the new Electrical building & new Generator Pad?

A20: No, Number 57 stone shall be provided.

Q21: Drawing S502 Please advise if the Vapor Barrier can be Stego 10 or 15 MIL under slab.

A21: Vapor barriers shall meet the requirements stated in specification section 07 26

16. The products may be submitted as equal and subject to approval by the Engineer.

Q22: Drawing S501 Please confirm the concrete pads are 4" thickness in the new electrical building.

A22: Confirmed, electrical equipment pads are to be 4 inches per standard detail S- 03-504.

Q23: Drawing M404 detail E showing 4’-0” equipment pad. Please confirm that this detail will be used for the 4 pumps.

A23: Detail 1 on S3 shall be used for all pump pads. Refer to PART 2 – A and PART 2

– B in this Addendum.

32457-027 Jonesboro RPS Improvements-6 00 91 13.02

Q24: Drawing H500 Please provide a louver schedule along with any pertinent keynotes for bidders to accurately price out the louvers called out on the HVAC drawings but do not show dimension and location of where the louvers are being installed?

A24: There are no louvers planned for the building. The AC-500-1 manufacturer will also provide the supply and return grilles along with the unit. Both grilles are identified and sized on H500. Please see Section A on H500.
