Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge Solicitation: DTFH71-09-B-00015

The purpose of this Amendment is to:

1) Revise the Special Contract Requirements (J-pages) as follows:

- Delete Section 303.

2) Provide a summary of responses to questions/clarifications asked by potential bidders.

Special Contract Requirement changes

1. Delete Section 303 of the Special Contract Requirements, page J-17.

Questions/Clarifications

The following questions and issues were submitted by potential bidders; the Government response or clarification is provided.

1. Does the period stated for stoppage of work on page A-3 of SF 1442 which is 136 days count toward the 380 days allowed for the job?

Response: Yes, the work stoppage period (November 15 to March 31) is included in the 380 calendar days total.

2. If the time asked about in item 1 above does indeed count toward the 380 days could the notice to proceed for Option1 be issued during this time of stoppage?

Response: As stated in the Solicitation, the NTP for Option 1 will be issued with an effective start work date of “on or about April 1”. The NTP may be issued during the no work period but it will contain a specific start work date. The specific start work date will depend on weather and field conditions at the time. Bidders are to assume an April 1 start work date when calculating their bid time.

3. Are cross-sections going to be needed and where?

Response: Taking roadway cross-sections at changes in the typical section are required. No other additional roadway cross-sections are needed.

4. Are paving stakes required in areas of overlay?

Response: Stakes for overlay sections are not required, but the Contractor will need to provide some form of finish grade survey in order to ensure a smooth overlay.

5. Do we need to profile the existing and finish centerline for all roads?

Response: No.

6. Are slope stakes required on ditch and shoulder reconditioning?

Response: Yes.

7. Are we responsible for computation of quantities for final payment such as roadway excavation, aggregate base, and turf establishment area?

Response: The Contractor with cooperation of the CO will have to determine quantities for payment according to Section 109 of the FP.

8. On option 2, section line road, how do we determine the clearing limits? Do we use a set distance from centerline or will we need to cross-section the road and set slope stakes. Will this include designing ditch grades, etc. This could be difficult to finish in 30 days. What is the penalty if not completed in time?

Response: Locate the proposed centerline of Section Line Road to be within the Refuge boundary according to Subsection 152.02. Set lateral limits of clearing and grubbing is as shown in plan sheet B3. See Subsection 108.04 of the FP for liquidated damages for failure to complete work on time.

9. Specs indicate 1 density per 2500 sy or 3500 sy depending on the type of material. Will additional densities be required in the smaller areas of excavation such as 1 per excavation?

Response: If your question is about Table 204-01, Sampling and Testing Requirements, then there is no further requirement besides the included information in this table.
