Questions and Answers for Solicitation AG-SPEC-S-17-0021

EWP- Streambank Stabilization- Spencer Site- Nicholas County, WV

1. Q. Is there any material that needs hauled off?

A. Excess material in the stream and material from required excavation will be used to backfill baskets and to reshape the banks within the work area. If there is still excess material left after the work has been completed then it will have to be hauled off to an approved waste area.

2. Q. What is the address of the site?

B. 830 Riverside Drive, Richwood WV

3. Q. Where is the access to the creek?

A. The creek can be accessed from the yard along the work area. All of the utility locations will have to be identified to prevent damage to them. If the large metal culvert is crossed, additional temporary fill will have to be placed over top of pipe to prevent crushing. Any disturbed areas will have to be returned to the condition prior to construction and seeded.

4. Q. Is a performance bond required if the bid is under $25,000.00?

A. No a performance bond is not required regardless of the amount of the quote. A payment bond is required after award, if the low quote accepted is over $35,000.

5. Q. Is there much hand labor required when filling the baskets with rock?

A. All of the voids in the baskets will have to be filled before installing another lift of rock. This requires moving the rock around by hand to fill the voids. Typically voids form around the selvedge wires, the corners and the support wires. The front of the baskets are also expected to be faced. This involves turning the flat side of the rock out to make a smoother more appealing surface.

6. Q. Is it required to be at the job showing to submit a quote?

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

7. Q. Is a bid bond required?

A. No a bid bond is not required. Only a payment bond will be required by the successful contractor within 5 days of award.
