Amendment 0002

This Amendment provides a revised Proposal Schedule, Revised Performance Work Statement and responds to questions, A, The Proposal Schedule is hereby replaced with the revised Proposal Schedule.

B. The Performance Work Statement is hereby replaced with the attached revised Performance Work Statement, dated October 20, 2016, 38 Pages. Revisions have been denoted by a line in the right-hand margin.

C. Below are responses to questions received related to Solicitation DE-SOL-0010045.

1. Question: PWS, Page 18 PWS, Item 13e – states to collect confirmation soil sample every 100 CY of excavated soil and analyze according to “contaminated surficial soil excavation/disposal/confirmation sampling.” The section referred to requires three different analyses depending on the DU. Please clarify if the intent is to analyze excavated soil for PCBs, PAHs, and chlorinated pesticides.

Response: See PWS section 4.b for parameters.

2. Question: PWS Page 1, Item B – “The site may include existing ground grid cables throughout the job site. These shall be removed as needed in order to complete the scope of this PWS.” Please clarify what ground grid cables are and where they may be located.

Response: Ground grid is minimum #4 bare copper cable buried approximately 18-inches below grade at 20-feet interval’s both directions and the exact location is unknown.

3. Question: PWS, Page 4, Items J and K – There is extensive discussion regarding MAD and protective grounding throughout the PWS. Other than the SRP high voltage line running along the northern edge of the property which will impact well abandonment and water pipe removal should the contractor anticipate other live electrical utilities at the property.

Response: There is also a SRP overhead line that runs parallel with University Drive with steel mono poles on the property. Outside of the Utility’s overhead lines all power is disconnected from the site. The Contractor shall test all equipment prior to removal to ensure the equipment is not energized.

4. Question: PWS, Page 27, Items 2 & 3 – This section of the PWS refers to locating cables and states that the substation must remain in operation during locating. Are these the cables referred on page 1, item b of the PWS? This implies that there are live underground utilities within the project site. Is this a correct assumption?

Response: There are no live underground utilities but the contractor shall verify that the lines are de-energized.

5. Question: CLIN 0010 Piping & Sump/Floor Drain Liquids Collection & Disposal: Is the liquid waste stream >50 ppm PCB and all liquid waste assumed non-hazardous for bidding purposes?

Response: According to the work plan, analytical results from oil samples collected were either non-detect to low concentrations of PCB. Watery fluids should be characterized and disposed of in accordance with TSCA regulations and considered non-hazardous.

6. Question: CLIN 0016 Contaminated Soil Excavation & Disposal: Is the impacted soil

<50 ppm PCB and assumed non-hazardous and all impacted soil assumed non-hazardous for bidding purposes? Can the unit be changed from BCY to tons so that discrepancies would be eliminated since disposal facilities provide weight tickets for each load?

Response: According to the work plan, all impacted soil were analyze for total metals.

Highest value for arsenic is 22 ppm. TCLP for arsenic is 5 ppm, The rule of 20 dictates total metals need to exceed 100 ppm, so assumed all impacted soil to be non-hazardous. A soil density test was not performed. A conversion cannot be done without making assumptions.

7. Question: CLIN 0001 Contaminated Surficial Soil Excavation: What is the quantity of soil associated with the 50 Each item?

Response: Collect one sample every 100 cubic yards of soil removed.

8. Have all PCB-containing electrical components been removed?

Response: Yes, all oil-filled electrical equipment has been removed.

9. Question: PWS p8; p10, etc. several of the Schedule Items (SI) noted in the PWS do not correlate on a one- to-one basis with the CLIN schedule and/or the scope of work in the PWS is spread amongst multiple CLINs (e.g., Item 1-HASP appears to be included in CLIN 7; Item 4 appears to include elements of CLINs 1, 16 and 14). Please clarify the PWS SIs with respect to the CLINs.

Response: The Contractor needs to read each SI and determine what is asked for to be included in the associated CLIN.

10. Question: PWS p11, SI 4.c describes ACM related activities not associated to soil excavation. Should this information be attached to SI 5, and should there be a separate CLIN for these monitoring and sampling activities?

Response: All ACM relativities in this section were moved to the respective CLIN’s.

11. Question: PWS p13, SI 8.b requires complete coverage of the work site with rock mulch and the CLIN notes 40,640sy of material. This would cover the area beyond the block wall fenced and leased parking lot space. Is it WAPA’s intent to cover a more limited area?

Response: The entire site is approximately 8.4 acres, which converts to approximately 40,640 sy of area to be covered.

12. Question: PWS p14, etc. SI 10.a.5 notes that additional effort may be required. Will this contingency be scoped under a CLIN other than CLIN 18 or as a T&M change order?

This question also applies to similar contingent items in other Sis.

Response: If additional work is required this will be done by modification.

13. Question: PWS p18, SI 14 includes steel water piping. Does this include piping to the former residence and warehouse as shown on the plan set [figure 1001]? More importantly, does this include delivery piping from the onsite production wells (except for piping in the Resource Exclusion Area)?

Response: This line item includes piping to the existing control building and delivery piping from the well. It is unknown if the piping to the old residence and warehouse is still there. If the piping is still there then this line item will be addressed by modification.

14. Question: PWS p18, p14, SI 15 appears to overlap considerably with SI 10.a.5 and SI 10.b. How shall this be divided into their respective CLINs (18 and 3?)?

Response: SI 10 is for the removal and SI 15 is for the sampling.

15. Question: PWS p19 & p20, SI 17 and 18 appear to describe the septic system from the Control Building; however, some of the stated components are now on the site adjacent to the West. The plan set [Figure 2000] also notes a septic system associated with the former residence. The location of collapsed ground on the south side of the site correlates well with the mapped location of the residential septic system. Would WAPA like the partial control building septic system and/or the residential septic system removed?

Response: SI 17 is for the removal of the residential septic system and associated piping.

Also SI 17 includes the associated piping of the control building septic system to the current property line. The septic tank for the control building is no longer located on this property. SI 18 is for the monitoring of the septic systems.

16. Question: PWS p21, SI 20 requests that a Preliminary Risk Evaluation be performed for arsenic below the site; however, it an evaluation was included in the VRPRW. Has ADEQ approved a Preliminary Risk Evaluation for arsenic for this site?

Response: Yes, ADEQ approved the Preliminary Risk Evaluation for arsenic and a separate report is not required under this contract and is removed from this PWS and proposal schedule.

17. Question: PWS p23, SI 21.c.3 states that lab analyses will be performed on a normal turnaround time (TAT) with exception for the soil confirmation sampling noted in SI 4.b [PWS p11] with a 3-day TAT. To avoid work delays and logistical issues associated with multiple stockpiles of soils and other materials, should any other samples be analyzed with 3-day TATs?

Response: This is based on how the Contractor chooses to perform the work.

18. Question: PWS p24, Section 4.A.1 of the PWS states that H&S superintendents shall be in a non-work status during critical phases of work. Please define and/or give examples of “critical phases” so that we can better predict staffing requirements.

Response: Demolition of the existing building and warehouse are critical phases of work.

19. Question: Solicitation p2, CLINs 1 through 4 indicate various rounded numbers of units.

Because they appear under the heading Sampling/Reporting, we assume there is a connection to the anticipated number of samples to be collected; however, please describe the units requested and what is to be included (labor, equipment, materials, etc.?).

Response: Unit cost should include all associated costs.

20. Question: Solicitation p2, does WAPA anticipate minimum and/or maximum numbers of units for CLINs 1 through 4?

Response: The quantities in CLINs 1 through 4 are estimated quantities. Additional testing may be required pending field observations when monitoring demolition/excavation. Any additional sampling would be addressed in a separate modification.

21. Question: Solicitation p2 & 3, CLINs 15, 16, 17 and 19 are scoped in cubic yards;

however, both inbound and outbound materials will be measured in tons (landfill weight tickets, backfill deliveries, etc.). Can WAPA change these units to tons to reduce potential discrepancies?

Response: See the answer to question 6.b

22. Question: Has electrical service to the production well been removed?

Response: Yes, but the Contractor must take steps to verify the equipment is de-energized.

23. Question: Solicitation, Page 41, bottom of the page, WES-L-1004 Item A.iv. Assigned Key Personnel Experience. Is there a page limit for Resumes?

Response: Submit whatever is appropriate for this work, two pages per resume.

24. Question: Solicitation. Page 41-2, WES-L-1004 Item A.iv.a-d. Assigned Key Personnel Experience. Are there specific qualifications/requirements for the Project Manager, Environmental Manager, and On-Site Representative?

Response: Qualifications of key personal should be related to the requirements of the project.

25. Question: Solicitation, Page 42, WES-L-1004 Item A.v. Past Performance Information.

How many project resumes are required? Is there a page limit for project resumes? Does the Project have to be COMPLETE, or can it be near completion?

Response: At least three (3) references are needed for consideration of past performance.

The attached Past Performance Questionnaire may be used for this purpose; however the project description should include sufficient information for consideration of the reference. An additional page may be added if needed. While it may not be necessary for a project to be complete for consideration it should be substantially complete.

26. Question: The bid schedule CLIN 0014 shows 11,357 SF to be quoted; however, the text on pages 11 and 12 describing what is to be abated does not match.

Response: See revised PWS and Proposal Schedule. Please note that the Proposal Schedule item “Control Building Asbestos-Containing Material Abatement” is 4,870 SF and that is the total estimate quantity to be removed from the Control Building.

D. The date and time for receipt of offers remains unchanged, November 2, 2016, 2:00 PM Local.
