l. Additional RFI Questions asked by prospective bidders and Responses from the Forest Service are as follows:

QUESTTON 13:

ln your response to ppl question #3 (pertaining to earthwork required for the SST installations) it was staied in purt ,'...th" contractor is not iesponsibie for the earthwork and grading for the installation of these buildings...", but a review of plan pages 11 &12 show excavating into the hill side to create a level pad and the construction of an 1S"berm at the top of the slope.

ln a recent conversation with CXT we were informed that their installation consists of merely excavating the already level site and no other site prep or earth work is included in their proposal to the Forest

Service. There appears to be a conflict bitween CXT's understanding and the answer to RFI question #3.

This is further confused by Note #6 in Amendment 003, dated 9 July 2010, wherein it states "...the contractor ...completion of ...'the preparation of the site..."

If CXT is not leveling the site or building the 18" berm at the top of the slope, the contractor must perform this work before the installations be performed. That being said; What line item, on the Schedule of Items, is the work to be included in?

RESPONSE 13;

After discussing the proposed work with CXT, the prefabricated restroom building (SST) manufacturer, it was determined that the Forest Service will require the contractor to perfbrm the grading work needed to complete the installation of all the SSTs. We modified the amount of borrow required (02224 D.) and added two line items (02224 K. & L.) to reflect this proposed work in the Revised SCHEDULE OF

ITEMS. As such, the contractor shall perform all grading work, including the excavation (minimum 2:1 slope) and embankment (maximum 2:1 slope) of the SSTs, as well as the placement of 18" compacted berms at excavated areas AS SHOWN ON THE DRAWINGS. The contractor shall use excavated maierlat from this grading to backfill and compact all areas requiring embankment-for the placement of suitable fill. The ""otrt u"Lr shall perform all work necessary for the installation of the SSTs (by others), including excavating or compacting fill to the required SST pad finish floor elevation (F.F.E.)' AS

SHOWN ON THE ilnaWfNCS, prior to the delivery of the SSTs. Additionally, the amount of borrow was modified from 40 c.y. to 88 c.y. to account for the additional fill needed to complete the grading of

SSTs. During the installation of SSTs (by others), additional suitable material will be anticipated (from the excavation of concrete vaults). The iontractor will be allowed to use this material for suitable fill. If the excavated material is not needed for backfill, the contractor shall ensure that all excavated material is removed from each individual site after the installation of SSTs is completed. In order to allow for more preparation for the work listed herein, please note the following change in the schedule for the delivery of the SSTs:

The anticipated delivery date for the new prefabricated restroom buildings (SSTs) to arrive at Buckhorn

Campground is Octobei 15, 2010. The contractor shall cosrdinate and plan the timely completion of work items related to the preparaiion of the site, as listed herein and AS SHOWN ON THE DRAWINGS, prior to the delivery of thl new SSTs. If more time is required to prepare the site, the contractor shall inform and coordinaie with the Forest Service in writing of when a more ideal and reasonable delivery date is to be required. The request shall be submitted by the contractor no later than September 15, 2010.

2. The revised Schedule B dated g July 2010 issued in amendment #3 is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the revised schedule B dated Iz luty 2010. This document is separately attached in FEDBIZoPPS.

3. The hour and date specified for receipt of offers remains 20 July 2010,2:00 PM@DT)'
