Sheet1
| Company | RFI # | Date of Request | Building #: | RFI Subject: | Potential Cost Impact | Potential Schedule Impact | Question: | Contracting Response | |
| Ahtna | 0001 | 1/29/21 | 119, 120, 121, & 128 | Location of Structure | No | No | These buildings do not show on the map. Please update map or provide a map with the location of these structues. | Added to "Appendix Q - Info for RFIs" | |
| Ahtna | 0002 | 1/29/21 | 214 | Contaminated Soil Removal | Yes | No | The abatement survey indictes contaminated soil around the structure. The survey says to stockpile the soil on site but does not provide a quantity. The scope of work appears to require the material to be disposed of off site at an approved landfill. The Is the contractor responsible for offsite disposal of contaminated soil identified in the report? If so, what is the quantity of material to be removed from the site or stockpiled on site? | Per Section 2.2.1.o of the PWS, excess soil remaining after demo that cannot be used to fill in cuts within site need to be removed and disposed of properly off base. You should not be taking direction on disposal from the surveys, all directions are in the PWS. Quantity of cut can be determined using foundation plans. | |
| Ahtna | 0003 | 1/29/21 | 214 | Parking Lot Removal | Yes | No | The statement of work requires the contractor to clear the area outlined in the aerial map in Appendix B. There are no dimensions for the areas to be cleared in the aerial map. The contract requires removal of the building foundation and the utilities within 10' of the builing footprint. Does this 10' area outside the building footprint include removal of all asphalt or only the asphalt required for removal of the utilities? How is the contracotor to determine the area of pavement removal shown on the map in appendix B if there are no dimentsions? Given that the pavement thickness and type of pavement vaires as many of the structures to be | ||
| demolished, the area and thickness of the pavement will impact the total price of the contract. | The 10' outside the building footprint includes asphalt, utilities, and everything else listed under the 2.2 description of work. Essentially after demo is complete there should be a contiguous piece of grass the same size as the building used to be, plus 10 ft on each side. |
The pavement thickness is roughly 3"-4".
| Ahtna | 0004 | 1/29/21 | 214 | Parking Lot Removal | Yes | No | Will the government provide dimension for the areas shown in blue on the map in Appendix B and the thickness of the pavement in each area shown in blue on the map in appendix B? Does the contractor assume the area of pavement to be removed will be 2,200,000 sf of asphalt pavement and do we use the information in Appendix I for pavement thickness? | The map is to scale. The scale is shown in the bottom left. For pavement thickness, type, and condition, refer to Appendix I and newly added "P20-3050 TAFB Pavement Survey Report" and "Zone 4 Geotech" in Appendix Q. |
| Ahtna | 0005 | 1/29/21 | N/A | Recyvled Material | Yes | No | Is there an onsite location for disposal/recycle of asphalt, conrete or steel material from the demoliton of the structeres and parking areas? | There are no onsite locations to stage asphalt or concrete. These must be disposed of properly. Steel/Sheet metal will be recycled per the PWS. |
| Ahtna | 0006 | 1/29/21 | N/A | Abatement Surveys | Yes | No | Appendix A identifies buildings where hazardous material surveys have been conducted. There are a number of structures with no surveys. Does the contractor assume these structures contain no hazardous materials? If not, does the government intend to provide surveys for the structures without surveys? | Contractors are advised not assume no hazardous materials are present. Not all facilities have been surveyed for hazardous materials. The contractor should make reasonable assumptions regarding the presence of potential hazards based on the information provided as well as the information presented during the prebid site visit. Buildings which have not been surveyed for hazardous materials must be surveyed as before abatement as part of the contract. |
| Ahtna | 0007 | 1/29/21 | 156 | Concrete Pavement Demolition | Yes | No | The map in appendix B shows an area adjacant to building 156 (Hangar 3) to be demolished to support a future MILCON. This are a is concrete. Clin 0004 calls for a fixed price for removal of NTE 2.2 million sq ft. It also requests a unit price per square foot. There is no distinction between asphalt pavement and concrete pavement. What is the thickness of the concrete pavement adjacant to building 156? Is the concrete reinforced? What is the area of the concrete to be removed? | Appendix I shall be used to determine pavement type and thickness, as stated in the PWS section 2.2. Area can be determined using the scale in the bottom left of the map. Government will consider a difference in asphalt vs concrete CLINS. |
Refer to Appendix Q: TAFB Pavement Survey Report and Zone 4 Geotechnical Report for more details.
| Ahtna | 0008 | 1/29/21 | 156 | Pavement Demolition | Yes | No | The map in appendix B shows the parking area to be removed. Part is asphalt and part is concrete. What is the area and thickness of the concrete pavement? What is the thickness and area of asphalt pavement? Is the concrete reinforced? | Appendix I shall be used to determine pavement type, as stated in the PWS section 2.2, as well as two products which were added to Appendix Q: TAFB Pavement Survey Report and Zone 4 Geotechnical Report. |
| Ahtna | 0009 | 1/29/21 | General | Pavement Breakdown | Yes | No | Based on initail review of the contract documents, would the government consider reworking Clin 0004 to provide a breakdown of the 2,200,000 square feet? We recommend separating the quantity of asphalt pavement and concrete pavement into two separate Clins. |
We also recommend the asphalt be subdivided into 2" thick, 4" thick and 6" thick Clins. This would minimize the potential issues associated with different site conditions during construction. We would also recommend the concrete be subdivided into 4", 6", 8", 10" and 12" thick.
| The distance to a disposal site will vary depending on the location of the pavement. Without a volume and location, the cost of disposal of the pavement will be impossible to calculate. Recommend Clins be established for pavement removal at each of the locations identified in the contract. | CLIN 0004 will be divided into two CLINS, one for asphalt and the other for concrete. As a not to exceed CLIN the depths should not matter at this time. | ||||||||
| Ahtna | 0010 | 1/29/21 | General | Updated Map | Yes | No | Many of the structures do not show on Appendix B. Will the government update Appendix B to reflect all the structures identified in Appendix A? | No new maps will be generated however more information is included in Appendix Q. | |
| Ahtna | 0011 | 2/2/21 | General | ACM Piping | Yes | No | Clin 0006, 0007 and 0008 identify a linear feet of utilities to be removed outside the 10' building line. Is there any Asbestos pipe or other hazardous materials associated with removal of these utilities? Based on the information shown, the contractor must assume there are no hazardous material associated with the utility removal. If there is hazardous material, will the government provide a location any type of material along with the quantity to be removed. | The government does not have an inventory of hazardous pipes; this will be addressed after award if pipes are found to contain hazardous materials. | |
| Ahtna | 0012 | 2/2/21 | General | Utility Excavation | Yes | No | Clin 0006, 0007 and 0008 identify a linear feet of utilities to be removed outside the 10' building line. The is no information on the depth of the utilities to be removed or the size of the utility pipes. The contractor does not have sufficient information to determine the quantity of excavation required to remove the utilities. Does the government intend to provide any additonal information on the depth of the exisiting utilites and the size of the pipes? What depth should the contractor assume for the excavation of the utiliites? What volume of material should the contractor assume will be excavated in order to remove the utilites? Will any of there excvation be over 5' deep? | The total CLIN in bid shall be based on an assumed depth of 3 ft for all lines other than sewer which will be assumed that 50% of the lines are at 3 ft and 50% of the lines are at 6 ft. Industry standards for line widths shall be used. | |
| Ahtna | 0013 | 2/2/21 | General | Utility Obstructions | Yes | No | Clin 0006, 0007 and 0008 identify a linear feet of utilities to be removed outside the 10' building line. Are there any underground obstructions not identifed in the contract drawings that will impact the removal of the underground utilities? | At this time no known undergraound obstructions exsist. Howeover, any that are found during the removal of the utilities wil be addressed at that time. | |
| Ahtna | 0014 | 2/2/21 | General | Utilities Under Pavement | Yes | No | Clin 0006, 0007 and 0008 identify a linear feet of utilities to be removed outside the 10' building line. Are there these utilities under pavement that is not shown to be removed in the contract drawings? If utilities to be removed are under existng pavement not shown to be removed, how does the contractor bid the removal and replacement of this pavement? | Refer to Appendix C and D for utility lines being removed. For utilities being removed where ashphalt or concrete remains the contractor is required to restor the area to its previous condition. | |
| Ahtna | 0015 | 2/2/21 | General | Hazardous Abatement | Yes | No | The solicitation identifies structures that do not have a hazardous material survey. The solicitation requires the contractor to provide surveys for these structures and abate any hazardous materials found. How does the contractor bid abatement when the quantities of hazardous materials are not known? Will a mod to the contract be issued to reimburse the contractor for removal of any hazardous materials found a a result of the survey of the structures? | Of the facilities marked as 'not surveyed' in Column G of Appendix A, the following will require the contractor to price in a hazmat survey into their bid: 120, 312, 1034, 1261, 1726, 3031, 6003, 8200, 9371, and 9424. These are the buildings which the FDEP considers 'facilities' and will require 10 day notifications as described in the PWS, EA, and 813s. 373, 7027, 7029, 7030, 7031, 42260, and 42275 only require sampling if ctr intends to recycle or reuse the concrete. 1022, 9419, and 22280 will require full TCLPs for their haz waste determinations. | |

Any facilities which are not labelled as surveyed must be accomplished by the contractor. | |
| Brad Cole Site Services | 0001 | 2/3/21 | Left Blank | Permits | Yes | Yes | In section 2.1.1 Permits and Codes, it states that contractor is |
responsible for federal, state, local and environmental permits and associated costs. If, after verification, they are required, the procurement of these permits can take time to obtain. Will the
| allowable 270 days start from receipt of approved permits? | The period of performance will begin when the notice to proceed is issued. Any delays in obtaining the Permits and Codes may be addressed after award. | ||||||||
| Brad Cole Site Services | 0002 | 2/3/21 | Left Blank | Engineering Surveys | Yes | Yes | In section 2.1.1 Permits and Codes, it states that Engineering Surveys per 1926.850(a) shall be required. Were there engineering surveys completed prior to hazardous material investigations for the reports in appendix H? If so, can they utilized for determining if a building is safe to abate or will the contractor have to complete new surveys for each structure. In addition, the code states, a competent person, shall complete surveys. Please provide what requirements and or credentials the Govt will expect from the competent person completing the surveys. | No, the OSHA survey referenced is the contractor's responsibility to complete prior to demo at each site, the specs can be researched in the code referenced, but it is essentially a report of working conditions before the contractor sends their employees into the site. | |
| Brad Cole Site Services | 0003 | 2/3/21 | Left Blank | Building Existing Conditions | Yes | Yes | In section 2.2.3 (Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) and Lead Based Paints (LBP) Debris) of the Performance Work Statement Document it states that “All facilities will be abated if possible (safe to enter) by the contractor.” At the site visit, it appeared that many of the buildings to be demolished were severely damaged and not structurally sound to safely abate the buildings prior to demolition. For bid | ||
| purposes, can the Govt denoted which structure currently is safe to abate and which is not safe to abate to price demolition work accordingly? | The medical group has not determined that any of the facilities are safe to abate/enter for government/military personnel, but almost all facilities demolished thus far have been determined safe to abate/enter by the ctr. It will be ctr responsibility to determine which facilities they will allow their employees to abate. | ||||||||
| Brad Cole Site Services | 0004 | 2/3/21 | Left Blank | Crushing on site | Yes | Yes | If deemed clean of asbestos/lead, will on site crushing/ grading be allowed for demolished foundation concrete, sidewalks, CMU walls, misc. concrete pavement, etc. prior to hauling to approved recycle/disposal site? | If the crushing and stockpiling can be done within the demo footprint and the adjacent laydown area, then on-site crushing/grading can be considered, subject to government approval. There is not a separate site on base where contractor can crush. | |
| Brad Cole Site Services | 0005 | 2/3/21 | Left Blank | Govt Salvaged Items | Yes | Yes | In section 2.2 Description of work in the PWS its states that “bids shall not include equipment found at site visit for salvage as Govt property will be removed up until the date of demolition.” Does the Govt have a list of salvaged items that will be removed from each building prior to demolition activities? | The government is unable to provide a list of salvaged items, the contractor must infer that nothing will be available for salvage as base personnel will remove items up until the day of demo. | |
| Brad Cole Site Services | 0006 | 2/3/21 | Left Blank | Missing Surveys | Yes | Yes | In section 2.2 Description of work in the PWS its states that “if surveys are not included, contractor shall ask about missing information on the RFIs during solicitation.” Please provide the missing reports if available.? | Any facilities which are labelled 'surveyed' in Appendix A have been provided in the original Appendix or Appendix Q, which consists of information requested in these RFIs. Any facilities which are not labelled as surveyed must be accomplished by the contractor. | |
| Brad Cole Site Services | 0007 | 2/3/21 | Left Blank | Missing Surveys | Yes | Yes | In section 2.2 Description of work in the PWS its states that for the first effort substructure demolition that all foundations and utilities are to be removed within 10’ of the footprint. Please confirm that these demolished items are to be included in the lump sum substructure bid item for the structure and not the CLIN 0004 – CLIN 0008 bid items. | Correct, confirmed. | |
| Brad Cole Site Services | 0008 | 2/3/21 | Left Blank | Allowable Days | Yes | Yes | This project requirement consists of 120 structures that are to be demolished in 270 days per the solicitation. The PWS states that every site will require 10 day notification in advance of demolition of all structures; additionally there are to be three separate efforts or mobilizations as directed in the PWS. Assuming that the |
abatement and structural demolition for each structure could be accomplished in 5 days average, with the second and third efforts accomplished in 2 days each would result in a minimum of 9 days per site excluding the 10 day notification all to be accomplished within the 270 days which is not realistic given the size of some of the structures. Additionally, the PWS confirms "At times, multiple crews may be required to meet this schedule, but Government can confirm that there will not be two ‘sites to be cleared’ at the same time: the multiple crews would just result from the infrequent simultaneous need of building and pavement demolition.
"Is it the governments intention to require that all notifications, execution of the three core efforts: (1) Structural demolition of facilities and their supporting foundation and infrastructure,(2) Clearing of asphalt or concrete pavement and other non-earth materials within future MILCON sites, and (3) Demolition of
| abandoned utilities, and final disposal of all demolition debris be completed in 270 days after which liquidated damages would be assessed per the solicitation? | The contractor is permitted to notifiy intent to start demolishion of multiple sites as a part of a single notification. Addtionally, the contractor does have the ability to work multiple sites simultaneously provided that the contractor has sufficient oversight. A revision to the PoP is being considered. | ||||||||
| Brad Cole Site Services | 0009 | 2/3/21 | Left Blank | As-Built Drawings | Yes | Yes | Are structural as-built drawings available for all or some of the structures to be removed. | Appendix F contains all drawing available. Unfortuantely, this base is very old and a lot of records were destroyed in the hurricane | |
| Brad Cole Site Services | 0010 | 2/3/21 | Left Blank | Temporary Disposal Sites | Yes | Yes | Is it possible for one or more demolition debris temporary disposal / reduction sites be established on base to sort materials for recycling, reduction, and final disposal? | A temporary disposal/reduction site may be established adjacent to the active demolition site after receiving government approval. | |
| Brad Cole Site Services | 0011 | 2/3/21 | Left Blank | Unforseen Subsurface Structures | Yes | Yes | If unidentified or unforseen subsurface structures are discovered, what will be the parameters for removal and payment? For example, the Officers Club is a large CMU and concrete structure that was built on waterfront property that likely has driven piles connected to its foundation, absent as-built drawings this would be a significant differing and unforseen condition not included in the scope of work. | Appendix F contains all drawing available. For subsurfaces where there are no as builts contractors should bid on a reasonable foundation depth based on the type of structure it is supporting. Unusual conditions would be addressed after award. | |
| Brad Cole Site Services | 0012 | 2/3/21 | Left Blank | Debris Hauling | Yes | Yes | Given the magnitude of trucking of demolition debris to final disposal sites will any consideration be given for vetted haulers making trips on and off base or should non-productive truck costs be included in the bid price proposal? | Contractor personnel will be required to submit to background checks. Once background checks have been complete those members will have access to the job sites as directed by the contractor. This will include haulers. | |
| Brad Cole Site Services | 0013 | 2/3/21 | Left Blank | Waterfront Buildings Demo | Yes | Yes | At the two waterfront buildings shown on the site visit, are there any structures (docks, piles, decks, etc.) that need to be included in the demolition of the primary structure? | All items referenced in Appendix O shall be removed at the golf course. No docks or piles will be removed. |
| Brad Cole Site Services | 0014 | 2/3/21 | Left Blank | Contaminated Soil | Yes | Yes | During the course of demolition if non-suitable soils are encountered please specify civil specifications required for removal, disposal, and importation of compactible, suitable fill.. | See PWS sections 2.2.1, and 2.5 through 2.8. |

| Brice Builders | 0001 | 2/1/21 | 546 | Building Sequence | Yes | Yes | The period of performance is 270 calendar days but Building 546 is shown as not being available until September 1, 2022. Even allowing for a reasonable time for award, this start date for Building 546 is beyond the period of performance. | ||
| Please advise if Building 546 will be included in this project, if the period of performance will be altered or if some other solution is to be implemented. | A revised PoP is addressed in Amendment 2. | ||||||||
| Brice Builders | 0002 | 2/1/21 | All | Building Sequence | Yes | Yes | The period of performance is 270 calendar days. There are 122 facilities or structures to be demolished along with 125,000 lf of abandoned utilities and 2,200,000 sf of pavement. |
The PWS states, on page 3, Section 2.2, Description of Work, "At times multiple crews may be required to meet this schedule, but Government can confirm that there will not be two 'sites to be cleared' at the same time; the multiple crews would just result from the infrequent simultaneous need of building and pavement demolition."
The PWS states, on page 3, Section 2.2, Description of Work, "Facilities will be prioritized and scheduled based on dates provided by the Government.."
| Please provide the priorities and anticipated schedule for bidding purposes. Multiple moves of equipment has a significant cost impact and we need to be able to count those moves and potential multiple work sites. We are also concerned that 270 calendar days allows less than 2 days per site if multiple sites are not anticipated concurrently. (270 calendar days equals less than 200 weekdays unless the government expects a 7 days a week work schedule) | A revised PoP is addressed in Amendment 2. | |||||||
| Brice Builders | 0003 | 2/1/21 | All | Building Sequence | Yes | Yes | The period of performance is 270 calendar days. There are 122 facilities or structures to be demolished along with 125,000 lf of abandoned utilities and 2,200,000 sf of pavement. |

The PWS states, on page 3, Section 2.2, Description of Work, "Facilities will be prioritized and scheduled based on dates provided by the Government.."
Brice is concerned that 270 calendar days allows less than 2 days per site if multiple sites are not anticipated concurrently. This also does not account for preconstruction submittals and pre-demo surveys.(270 calendar days equals less than 200 weekdays unless the government expects a 7 days a week work schedule)
| Please define the expected work schedule to meet the stated period of performance and the scope of work. | A revised PoP is addressed in Amendment 2. | |||||||
| Brice Builders | 0004 | 2/1/21 | All | Building Sequence | Yes | Yes | No specifications are found in the attachments. Will there be specifications associated with this project? | |

| Reference 52.219-14 Limitations on Subcontracting (DEVIATION 2020-O0008). | This project has been solicited as a demolition service requirement, therefore we are utilizing a Service Act Wage Determination and the 50% percentage listed in 52.219-14 Limitations on Subcontracting. | ||||||||
| Brice Builders | 0006 | 2/1/21 | All | Piers | Yes | Yes | There are several piers associated with some of the facilities, ie: the Golf Course Club House, Marina, that are identified as needing to be demo'd. Does this include the pilings, and to what extent. Do we cut them off at the water line, sea floor, or remove them completely. | The piers at the golf course will be removed in accordance with Appendix O. There are no piers identified to remove at the marina, only pavement. | |
| Brice Builders | 0007 | 2/4/21 | 8200 | Ordnance Disposal Area | Yes | Yes | On Building/Area 8200, the spreadsheet indicates 3200 square feet of demolition. Based on Google Earth, there is not a building on site, however, we are to retain the rocket structure. Is this area restricted? Do we need permission to go look at it? Are there structure/s there?

| Bristol | 0001 | 2/4/21 | N/A | No subject provided | RFI form not used | RFI form not used | This project requirement consists of 120 structures that are to be demolished in 270 days per the solicitation. The PWS states that every site will require 10 day notification in advance of demolition of all structures; additionally there are to be three separate efforts or mobilizations as directed in the PWS. Assuming that the abatement and structural demolition for each structure could be accomplished in 5 days average, with the second and third efforts accomplished in 2 days each would result in a minimum of 9 days per site excluding the 10 day notification all to be accomplished within the 270 days which is not realistic given the size of some of the structures. Additionally, the PWS confirms "At times, multiple crews may be required to meet this schedule, but Government can confirm that there will not be two ‘sites to be cleared’ at the same time: the multiple crews would just result from the infrequent simultaneous need of building and pavement demolition." Is it the governments intention to require that all notifications, execution of the three core efforts: (1) Structural demolition of facilities and their supporting foundation and infrastructure, (2) Clearing of asphalt or concrete pavement and other non-earth materials within future MILCON sites, and (3) Demolition of abandoned utilities, and final disposal of all demolition debris be completed in 270 days afterwhich liquidated damages would be assessed per the solicitation? | The contractor is permitted to notifiy intent to start demolishion of multiple sites as a part of a single notification. Addtionally, the contractor does have the ability to work multiple sites simultaneously provided that the contractor has sufficient oversight. A revision to the PoP is being considered. | |

| Bristol | 0003 | 2/4/21 | N/A | No subject provided | RFI form not used | RFI form not used | Is it possible for one or more demolition debris temporary disposal / reduction sites be established on base to sort materials for recycling, reduction, and final disposal? | A temporary disposal/reduction site may be established adjacent to the active demolition site after receiving government approval. | |
| Bristol | 0004 | 2/4/21 | N/A | No subject provided | RFI form not used | RFI form not used | If unidentified or unforseen subsurface structures are discovered what will be the parameters for removal and payment? For example, the Officers Club is a large CMU and concrete structure that was built on waterfront property that likely has driven piles connected to its foundation, absent as-built drawings this would be a significant differing and unforseen condition not included in the scope of work. | Appendix F contains all drawing available. For subsurfaces where there are no as builts contractors should bid on a reasonable foundation depth based on the type of structure it is supporting. Unusual conditions would be addressed after award. | |
| Bristol | 0005 | 2/4/21 | N/A | No subject provided | RFI form not used | RFI form not used | Given the magnitude of trucking of demolition debris to final disposal sites will any consideration be given for vetted haulers making trips on and off base or should non-productive truck costs be included in the bid price proposal? | Contractor personnel will be required to submit to background checks. Once background checks have been complete those members will have access to the job sites as directed by the contractor. This will include haulers. | |
