Project NJ ERFO SAHO GATE 2013-1(2) Reconstruction of Sandy Hook Unit Sites

Solicitation: DTFH71-13-B-00027

The purpose of this Amendment is to:

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

2) Change the bid opening date to June 13, 2013 at 2:00 pm EST.

Questions / Clarifications

The following question and issue were submitted via email at eflhd.contracts@dot.gov. The Government response or clarification is provided. Due to the repetitive nature of several questions and issues, the wording of the questions may have been revised and some questions have not been included. The Government’s direct response to the sender may also have been updated below for better clarity.

Question 1- The detail shown on the drawings for 'SILT FENCE' with wire mesh backing and check dam, is this for all applications requiring silt fence or only in the waterway area for the box culvert at Horse Shoe Cove?

Response: The silt fence detail is for all work that requires silt fence in order to minimize the movement of sediment off-site. The waterway at Horse Shoe Cove will require a diversion berm as noted on Plan Sheet 16.

Question 2- Sandbagging at Horse Shoe Cove, is it the intent to completely close off the waterway during construction or should it be in 2 stages, half the width of the waterway at a time?

Response: The work will be completed in a manner that maintains flow of the waterway into the lagoon. Requests to reduce flow into the lagoon will need to be submitted to the CO for approval during construction.

Question 3- PERMITS, are any permits required?

Response: The project falls under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit 3, for which pre-construction notification is not required. Also, this project is covered under Administrative Order No. 2013-13, which exempts the project from NJ DEP’s permit procedures. Neither of these documents eliminates the Contractor’s obligation to follow best construction practices while completing land disturbing activities. Depending on the Contractor's means and methods to perform the work, other permits may be required for the project, and are the Contractor's responsibility to obtain. See Subsection 107.01 of the mailto:eflhd.contracts@dot.gov
