Questions and Answers for Solicitation AG-SPEC-S-17-0018

EWP- Streambank Stabilization- Baud and Ramsey Sites- Greenbrier County, WV

1. Q. Are bid bonds required?

A. A bid bond is required to be submitted with the bid in the amount of 20% of the bid price.

2. Q. Where is the access for the Baud site?

A. The site can be accessed at the end of Palm Beach Ave. and the stream access is beside the Greenbrier Ave. Bridge.

3. Q. Are the boulders at the Baud site going to be used in the riprap?

A. No. The majority will be hauled away. We may use some at the base of the remaining wall and some for fish habitat in the stream.

4. Q. Can we break the boulders at the Baud site and use them?

A. No.

5. Q. Is the culvert operational at the Ramsey site and is there any work to be done on the culvert?

A. The NRCS isn’t working on the culvert. The riprap will be installed at the inlet and outlet of the existing culvert.

6. Q. What do we do with the concrete slabs at the Ramsey site?

A. The concrete slabs will have to be removed from site and disposed of at an approved waste area.

7. Q. Can bids be emailed?

A. No, this is a formal sealed bid. Bids must be mailed or hand carried to arrive on the date and before the time of bid opening. A formal bid opening will be held at the NRCS office in Syracuse, NY.

8. Q. Do the truck drivers hauling material from the site to the waste area have to be paid the Davis- Bacon wage rates supplied for the contract?

A. No, so long they are only hauling to and from the site and spend no actual time working on the site. For any time spent that is more than incidental, that time must be paid the prevailing Construction Wage Rate.

9. Q. Is job showing attendance required to submit a bid?

A. No, attendance is not mandatory, but it is strongly recommended that potential contractors participate or view the site on their own.
