Amendment No. 001 Project ERFO-IL-FSR 220(1)

Shawnee National Forest Solicitation: DTFH71-09-B-00021

The purpose of this Amendment is to:

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

a) Section 207 to revise material requirements.

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

Special Contract Requirement changes

1. Delete Section 207 of the Special Contract Requirements, page J-13, and substitute the following:

Section 207.—EARTHWORK GEOTEXTILES

207.02 Conform the following Subsections:

Geogrid 714.03 Geotextile 714.01

Questions/Clarifications

All questions should be submitted as early as possible so bid opening will not be delayed.

Questions submitted within 3 days of the bid opening have the potential of not being answered with enough time for bidders of finalizing their bids. The followings are responses to questions/clarifications asked by potential bidders.

1. Table 714-7 on page J-24 of the subject specs identifies two different products as acceptable. Sinkhole requires 3760 lb/ft and Slide 1-4 requires 6800 lb/ft. Yet the bid schedule line item 20703-0000 requires 48,000 sq yds for a single item. Please verify quantity for each of the two different products.

Response: The sink hole is located at Reconstruction Site 1 shown on Plan Sheet E1.

Slides 1-4 are located at Sites 2-5 shown on plan sheets F1, G1, H1, and J1. These locations are also described in the Geotechnical Report.

Amendment No. 001 3

Plan sheet C1 states that 960 sqyd of geogrid is required at Site 1 (the sinkhole location) and that the remainder will be required at Sites 2-5 (Slides 1-4).

Please price the geogrid accordingly.

2. There appears to be no line item for "barrow dirt". The job appears to require a sizable quantity of this. Will there be a line item for this? If not, what line item should we use to include this cost?

Response: The intent is to use the excavated material as fill in the stabilized slope. The Government's calculations indicate that there will be sufficient material and that there should be no need to bring any in from offsite. If any additional material is required, it will be paid for as Embankment Construction. Please see Subsection 109.05 of the FP for further information regarding scope of payment for direct and indirect work. Each bidder will have to determine where they absorb their indirect costs.

3. The bid line for Geotextile is confusing. Specifications section 207 says to delete [geotextiles] Subsection and substitute the following: Conform the following Subsection:

Geogrid 714.03.

Response: The Subsection 207.02 of the SCR’s will be revised to include both materials Geogrid and Geotextile.

4. E605-A note 4 says Geotextile paid for under under drain system. What goes on Geotextile line - 1700lf?

Response: Note 4 on Plan Sheet S9 refers to the geotextile and granular backfill located in the underdrain triangle (shown in Detail A). It does not refer to the geotextile and granular backfill shown in the typical sections Plan Sheets B1 to B6. The bid items include the quantity of geotextile Type I-C and granular backfill shown in the typical section.

All questions received before 8/11/2009 via email at eflhd.contracts@fhwa.dot.gov have been included above. Any questions received after this time will be answered on an individual response basic, unless another amendment is required.
