Questions

Site Visit 04/06/2011

1) Rock Slope Protection (Geotextile Fabric) – Specs say woven Type B. Plans/ drawings say woven Type A.

Answer - Specs are amended to reflect Type A material.

2) What is the Depth on Turbidity Curtain?

Answer - Due to the current lake levels and possible lake conditions at the time of construction, a six (6) foot median will be considered the average depth.

3) If the lake is “full” in July, what is the possibility of cancellation or postponement? Is Sheet Piling to be used?

Answer – If standing water is found in the holes dug for the grade beam anchors, work may be postponed until later this summer. Sheet piling/ Coffer dams will not be used.

4) Can the Grade Beams be poured in-place?

Answer – No. Grade Beams and Ramp Slabs will be pre-cast.

5) What is the elevation of the bottom of the two anchor blocks to be poured on-site?

Answer – 5094.0 ft

6) Site disposal for rocks/ boulders?

Answer – Rocks and boulders shall be placed off to the side of the construction area, while staying outside the wetland area. Wetland area will be marked prior to construction by the Forest Service.

7) V-Groove Panel Answer – A test panel is required.

8) Is water available on site?

Answer - Potable water is available at the marina. A water meter is required and will be supplied by the Contractor

9) It has been 10 years since lake was “full”; what is the existing water level?

Answer – The level of the lake water is constantly changing. On October 15, 2010 the water line was measured at an elevation of 5095 ft. Currently the spring runoff is causing the lake level to rise. Lake level on April 04, 2011 was 5096.76ft.

10) Is a work schedule required with the bid?

Answer – Yes. A work plan is to be submitted with the proposal.

11) Do we need to purchase the RipRap from a specific source? Can we use the rock already onsite?

Answer – The rock for RipRap can come from any commercial source, as long as it meets the specifications.

12) The centerline stakes will be gone once the rocks are removed. How are we supposed to know where to put the ramp?

Answer – The layout will follow the CL stakes to the parking lot. As described in Section 017123.13 – Construction Layout; The Government is responsible for reestablishing any missing reference stakes before the beginning of construction. It is the contractor’s responsibility to replace all destroyed or disturbed initial reference stakes necessary to the work. Reset stakes as many times as necessary to construct the work.

13) What is the elevation of the toe of the ramp? To do the job, we will need enough clearance far enough below the toe of the ramp to do the job.

Answer – The toe of the ramp will be at 5090.4 ft. Grading below the water line will be required. Equipment must have a long enough reach to avoid entering the water. The lake level will dictate the actual start date.

14) Is the Forest Service responsible for compaction testing?

Answer – The Contractor shall perform, or cause to be performed, all sampling, inspection and testing required to substantiate that all supplies, services, and construction conform to the contract requirements.

15) Can we park a camp trailer on the job site to protect the equipment?

Answer – No camping is allowed on the job site. There are camp sites available within the immediate area.

Contractor is responsible for securing the job site for protection of equipment and materials.

Answer – No. If additional material is needed, there are several commercial suppliers within the project area.

Answer – Except for material indicated to be stockpiled or to remain Government’s property, cleared materials shall become Contractor’s property and shall be removed from the site.

Answer – The plans specify a crushed aggregate base course, Caltrans Class 2.

19) Can product/ material substitutions be allowed?
