The pre-bid meeting was held on August 16, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. We met at the project site. The pre-bid meeting notes are part of an amendment to the above referenced solicitation.

We walked through the entire project and looked at each site. The corners for all spurs and family units are marked on the ground.

The following is a list of questions and answers:

1. Question. What is the quantity of gravel needed for the project. Answer. The schedule of items has 100 cubic yards as a pay item 129204-1 under the base bid and 10 cubic yards as a pay item under option 5. This gravel is for surfacing the spurs. In addition gravel will be needed for the family units and for the trails. These are paid for under items 129400-1 Family Units, 129410-1 Group Site, and 321204-2 4’ wide aggregate trail.

2. Question. Where is the gravel source. Answer. The designated gravel source is the Stump Springs pit. Specific directions to the pit is in 321204 Section 2.3A. The contractor may also elect to purchase gravel from a private source. If the Stump Springs material is used, the Government will assume the responsibility of the quality requirements for gradation and PI. If a commercial source is used, the gravel will need to meet the requirements of Grading G. The grading is shown incorrectly as Grading C in the Schedule of Items.

3. Question. Does the Forest Service have a proctor on the gravel. Answer. After checking the files, the Forest Service does not have a proctor. Contractor will need to perform the tests specified in Table 14100-1.

4. Comment. We hope to be able to award as many options as possible based on bid pricing and available funding. Bidders need to bid for base and all options.

5. Comment. There are already 2 amendments out on this project. The due date has been change to September 7, 2010 @ 4:30 pm. Make sure you acknowledge all amendments.

6. Comment. Due to the late start date this fall it is expected that construction will go into next field season. The campground will be shut down from this fall after award, but will be open during construction next field season.

7. Comment. During the walkthrough the group looked at the valve and drain near spur 17. It is located below the road on a steep sidehill. It appears as though the drain could be located closer to the road, but the exact location of the waterline is not known. Bid this valve and drain at the location shown on the drawings. If during construction it is determined that the drain can be moved closer to the road we will issue a contract modification at that time.
