EWP-Streambank Stabilization – 6 Sites – City of Columbia, Marion County, MS

Questions and Answers

Q – On sheet 6 of 12 of the plans, I noticed in the Estimated Quantities that some of the items are labeled NRCS and some are labeled Sponsor. What does this mean and who is the Sponsor?

A – The Sponsor is the City of Columbia. The work is being performed under the Emergency Watershed Protection Program under which local governments can request assistance after a natural disaster. If sites are approved, this cost share program allows the Federal government (in this case USDA-NRCS) to cover 75% and the Sponsor 25% of the cost of the recovery measures through an agreement to return sites to pre-storm conditions.

For this project, the agreement calls for the NRCS to design and contract for the work and pay the contractor in full and then seek reimbursement from the Sponsor for their share in cash or in kind. So if there are items labeled Sponsor, that is likely work or service that they will perform to help meet their 25% contribution.

Q – In reference to the MKL Drive site (sheet 8 of 12 in the plans). From the notes on the drawings, it appears that the headwalls and wingwalls are going to have to be replaced. You have given us estimated quantities of 25 CY of fiber reinforced concrete and 3,400 lbs of reinforced steel but you do not give us any dimensions of the walls nor what size rebar. Do you plan to provide any details?

A – The dimensions of the walls will line up as closely as possible to the existing damaged walls; all rebar will be #5; any further details can be provided to the successful bidder, which we do not feel will affect price.
