1. Date for receipt of quotatations remains July 28, 2015 at 9:00 AM MDT. Prospective contractors shall submit their responses to the solicitation via e-mail at the following e-mail address: jvaroz@fs.fed.us

2. Question: Why is there was a difference between having the whole water system shut down for 20-Days vs.

having 30-days to complete the entire project? Answer: There is a twenty-day water system shutdown and an extra ten days for possible weather delays and extra time for finish grading as is required, subject to approval by the COR and CO, on about 1000 feet of the dirt road section where the waterline will be installed.

3. Question: Why is there now a concrete patch included in the schedule of items vs. an asphalt patch? Answer:

Where the waterline is to be installed in the parking lot we want the top of the trench to be concrete instead of asphalt because in our experience asphalt will crack and unravel over time. Concrete will hold up better with constant traffic.

4. All other attachments and elements of the revised solicitation and resulting amendments remain in effect and unchanged.
