About this file

This document is a Bid Questions and Answers (Q&A) file for the Deep Creek State Recreation Area (SRA) Facility Rehabilitation Project No. 71003-1, issued by the Alaska Department of Natural Resources, Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation. The Q&A document addresses four specific contractor inquiries related to the project, covering topics such as pipe stub removal, earth-driven anchor requirements for articulated concrete matting (ACM), subgrade conditions, and potential grade adjustments. The questions were fielded as of March 24, 2025, in preparation for the bid submission deadline of March 27, 2025, at 2:00 p.m.

The answers provided demonstrate the department's flexibility in addressing potential construction challenges, indicating that pipe stub removal, aggregate base course thickness, and site grading may be adjusted based on actual field conditions. The project involves infrastructure improvements including riprap armoring, articulated concrete matting, road and parking surface paving, signage replacement, fee station removal, kiosk installation, and traffic marking. The Engineer's Estimate ranges between $500,000 and $1,000,000, and the procurement process encourages participation from Disadvantaged Business Enterprises while complying with equal opportunity employment standards and Americans with Disabilities Act requirements.

Deep Creek SRA Facility Rehabilitation, Project No. 71003-1

Bid Questions as of March 24, 2025

Q1: A series of pipe studs were found next to the area to be paved that were not denoted on the plans; pictures found below. Will these be added to the “Removal of Structures and Obstructions” pay item?

A1: At this point, it appears that the pipe stubs are not within the project paving area. If it is determined that the pipe stubs will impede laying pavement, the Department will address their removal via Change Order on a case-by-case basis.

Q2: As per Section 653-3.01 of the Special Provisions, two earth driven anchors shall be installed at each intersection where ACM (Articulated Concrete Matting) meets as shown on plans. How many anchors?

A2: The number of required earth anchors at each ACM intersection is two (Special Provisions, Section 653-3.01). The number of anchors required for the entire project is dependent on the dimension of the ACM used by the Contractor.

Q3: Subgrade is full of riprap (that is mixed in from storms and construction) and poorly graded sand and gravel. This will make a poor base for the new hot mix asphalt. Aggregate base course, grading D-1 should be increased to a minimum of 4” this would give some structure for the new hot mix asphalt.

A3: The current amount of D-1 will stand for the bidding on Thursday, March 27, 2025. If it is determined that more D-1 is required, then that will be addressed when that determination is made based on the current project conditions.

Q4: Also, looking at the grades on sheet 61 some areas are less than 1%. I would assume that this could be changed during construction to allow for better drainage.

A4: If necessary, the grading of individual locations within the project area may be adjusted as required based on in field conditions.
