| Pre Proposal Inquiry Form | Solicitation No: FA481919Q7004 |
| Contracting Officer Name: Mrs. Melissa Sanders | Demolition of Facilities Phase 3, Tyndall AFB Florida |
| Contract Administrator Name: SrA James Sears | Quote Due Date 07 March 2019 |
Email: 325CONS.Construction@us.af.mil
| Question No. | Reference (Sect/Para/Page) | Question | Government Response |
| 1 | Pre-Site Visit Inquiry | Is there an incumbent contractor currently performing these services or if this is a new requirement. If there is an incumbent, could you please provide the contract number? | This is a new requirement and as such there is no incumbent contractor. |
| 2 | Pre-Site Visit Inquiry | Can the past performance be a combination of the prime contractor and a subcontractor? Or, does all past performance provided have to have been performed by the prime contractor? | CONS - Yes |
| 3 | Pre-Site Visit Inquiry | Can we have a specific list of the buildings and structures where the slab/foundations are to remain? The building list says “structure only” for some sites but during the walk thru, there were some question. One, specifically, was Bldg. 5025. | See attached list |
| 4 | Pre-Site Visit Inquiry | At Bldg. 5025, there is a 4’ retaining wall along the concrete dock area and the building “straddles” this wall. Once the building is removed, and particularly if the slab is removed, pressure from the backfill and the gap this removal will create may cause failure of the retaining wall. How should this be addressed? | Environmental - As much of the retaining wall as possible should be maintained. Retaining wall should be stabilized at ends to prevent failure. Erosion control should be completed in the opening created by removing the facility to prevent the earth from washing out into the bay. Silt fencing, erosion control socks, or any other form of erosion/sedimentation control devices can be utilized to stabilize and prevent bank erosion pre/post construction. All stormwater drains must be marked and covered. |
| 5 | Pre-Site Visit Inquiry | Is there a list of equipment to be salvaged by the facility from Bldg. 421? | No, majority of equipment will be removed ahead of time remaining equipment will be in unsafe areas. The contractor will safe the areas, remove identified equipment and stage in parking lot of building. |
| 6 | Pre-Site Visit Inquiry | We were unable to access many of the buildings to be demolished. Will some provisions be made for debris in the buildings since we couldn’t see inside to estimate loads? | No, facilities should be estimated with admin/office furniture. If there are questions on specific facilities CE will try and collect photos of interiors. Need list of specific facilities. |
| 7 | Pre-Site Visit Inquiry | Structure 631 is 4 steel columns wrapped in block. It spans a busy access point for the facility. What will be involved in closing this gate for a period to allow for the safe removal of the structure? | Base Gate Closure will be coordinated through Base CE, Base Security (BDOC) and the contractor. Must be scheduled 14 days ahead of time. ALL equipment, safety requirements and personnel will need to be on sight the day before to ensure everything is in place. (if crane is used lift/safety plan is required to be submitted and approved 3 days ahead of time) |
| 8 | Pre-Site Visit Inquiry | What is required for individual perimeter site protection while the demolition of each structure is progressing? Will “orange fence” be sufficient or, must we use temporary fence panels? | Environmental - Orange constuction fencing installed correctly with signage clearly making the dangers will surfice. All environmental requirements for dust control, asbestos, and sedimentation and erosion control is also required, along with any additional best management practices. |
| 9 | Pre-Site Visit Inquiry | The PWS says that all sites are to be finished with grass. “Site restoration establishment of turf or sod”. Some of the sites are in the middle of a much larger concrete area. Are we to plant grass in areas surrounded by concrete or will a list be made available where gravel/dirt/stone will suffice? | See attached list for clarification |
| 10 | Site Visit Inquiry | Will a SWPPP be necessary for each site? | Environmental - Yes, see attached SWPPP template(s). |
| 11 | Site Visit Inquiry | Will the contractor be awarded bids for individual facility site cleanup or will the bid be awarded for all 47 facilities? | This requirement will be awarded for all facilities. |
| 12 | Site Visit Inquiry | Can I get the square yard measurement for each facility? I have the images from FedBizOpps.gov but I could use more details about each facility | See building floor plans that are avalable, all other measurements need to be varified by the contractor. |
| 13 | Site Visit Inquiry | What are the environmental code/rules/specifications for the facilities that are located near water. | Enviromental - It is the responsibility of the contractor to verify what permits are required per Section 3.2.1. Contractor must consult with 325 CES it any permits are required and all applications must be reviewed and signed by the 325 CES Commander. If permits are deemed required by the 325 CES, the contractor will stop work and address environmental concerns. |
| 14 | Site Visit Inquiry | On Building #2699 - wooden pilings. Are they to be removed? | Pilings to be left in place unless damaged. Area between and around pilings to be leveled with gravel to prevent ponding. Pilings may be used in future project. |
| 15 | Site Visit Inquiry | On Building #5025 - can we use a vinyl retaining wall or seawall to hold back the dirt from washing into the water? | Environmental - As much of the retaining wall as possible should be maintained. Retaining wall should be stabilized at ends to prevent failure. Erosion control should be completed in the opening created by removing the facility to prevent the earth from washing out into the bay. Silt fencing, erosion control socks, or any other form of erosion/sedimentation control devices can be utilized to stabilize and prevent bank erosion pre/post construction. All stormwater drains must be marked and covered. |
| 16 | Site Visit Inquiry | Can we get a list of the buildings that the slabs stay? | See attached list for clarification |
| 17 | Site Visit Inquiry | The solicitation specifically addresses Florida Department of Environment Emergency Final Order OGC No. 18-1335. That order allows for start of work without submitting 10 day pre-demolition notification - The demolition requirements in the PWS (3.3.1.1) appear to contradict the Florida Department of Environment Emergency Final Order. Please clarify. | Environmental - Plan normal requirements for all faciities, letter will expire prior to the start of all facilities so the normal 10 day notice would need to be completed for most of the buildings. The only thing the letter would do is exempt the 10 day notice. All other regulations and requirements still must be met. |
| 18 | Site Visit Inquiry | The specifications call for an existing conditions survey, where a pre-demolition hazardous materials survey may be performed (if physically possible) assuming that the buildings can be survey and asbestos or other hazardous materials can be identified and removed, how will the Contractor be compensated for abatement activities? | Environmental - Contractor provides the estimate and plan. If the facility could be abated dumping fee would be greatly reduced. |
| 19 | Site Visit Inquiry | It appears that the intent of the of the PWS is to include concrete slab and foundation removal and site restoration for all buildings except: |
| B26 Garage door structures only, B83 Structure Only, B168 Structure Only - By structure only, do you mean down to top of grade slab? Does "Structure Only" include removal of any concrete pedestals, knee walls or equipment pads? Please verify. | See attached for clarification (removed flush to concrete) | |||
| 20 | Site Visit Inquiry | Under General Description of Project, (2.2.1 of the PWS) item g. - The site restoration is very vague. Please provide a complete description of the requirements for Site Restoration. | Environmental - The source of backfill shall be natural or virgin material (other than the operation of a borrow pit facility) and shall be in an area which has not previously been used for commercial or industrial activities. One soil sample will be collected from the borrow source and analyzed for the following parameters: Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) per Method 8260, Semi-volatile Organic Compounds (SVOCs) [Base/Neutrals (e.g., PAHs, Pesticides, PCBs) and Acid Extractables (e.g., Phenols)] per Methods 8270/8081/8082, RCRA metals by Method 6020, Petroleum Residual Organics (by FL-PRO), Analytical results will be compared to the FDEP residential Soil Cleanup Target Levels to determine acceptability of the proposed material as clean fill. Compact the backfill to a firmness approximately equal to that of the soil next to the trench in location outside the plane described by one (vertical) to two (horizontal) slope downward from the roadway shoulder point or the gutter line in accordance with Standard Plans, Index 120-001 or 120-002. Apply 125-9.2.1 when compacting side-drain pipe backfill under driveways serving a property that is not single residential lot. See attachment for additional information per locations. | |
| 21 | Site Visit Inquiry | Under General Description of Project, (2.2.1 of the PWS) item 2.2.4 Hazardous Waste, The contractor is directed to collect and stage any Hazardous waste materials discovered as a result of the existing conditions survey. Is it the intent of the documents that the removal and staging of hazardous materials should be included in the individual pricing for each work item? Will Tyndall AFB provide containers/packaging for any discovered Hazardous Waste? How will the contractor be compensated for collection of Hazardous Waste? Packaging?, Transportation? Disposal? | Environmental - Hazardous waste is identified as oils, paints, cleaning material, 55 gal drums, maintence racks that need to be removed from the facilities prior to demolition. The effort to move the items from the building to the parking lot should be included in the estimate. The government will dispose of or purpose the material at a later date. | |
| 22 | Site Visit Inquiry | In the PWS, item 3.2.1 - Scrap Metal Recycling, the contractor is directed to utilize the base recycling program and to take the scrap metal generated from demolition activities to Emerald Coast Recycling/DBA Lewis Metals. If the contractor has another scrap metal recycler that he/she deals with can they take metals to that facility instead, or are the mandated to use this particular facility? Who gets the benefit from the revenue gained from the recycle of metals? This specification indicates that the Contractor will submit invoices to the Contracting Officer for reporting requirement for base recycling program. An invoice usually implies payment; Will the Contractor be paid for transportation charges to the base recycling facility? or is the term "invoice" meant to include weight tickets to track the total waste and waste to be recycled? | As stated in the PWS, the contractor will use Emerald Coast Recycling/DBA Lewis Metals because of the exist base recycle contract that is inplace. The money from the recycled metal will go back to the government. The contractor should estimate to transport the recycle metal from base to Emerald Coast Recycling/DBA Lewis Metals. The invoice is to show delivery of the metal, no money will go to the contractor from Emerald Coast Recycling/DBA Lewis Metals. | |
| 23 | Site Visit Inquiry | Item 8 - Utility Considerations, in the PWS, directs the contractor to cut and cap services, including water, gas, sewer and electric, as the demolition is a requirement of a catastrophic storm, and utilities are generally cut and capped immediately after such an event, can you provide us with any information regarding what (if) any utilities still need to be cut and capped? How many services and what type? Size of services? Location? How will the contractor be compensated for any costs incurred for utility disconnects? | Cost should be included in estimate to cut and cap utilities (water, sewer).
