Solicitation: FA667521R0016, Repair Apron Attachment 11 ‐ Questions & Answers

Q1:

Section B of the solicitation has 2 line items: 0001 and 0002, and the description of both line items refers to attachment 1‐“CLIN ID Sketch” and A/E Design Drawing and Specifications. Attachment 1, “CLIN ID Sketch” does not clearly identify what work is included in each CLIN (only listing highlighted items as “minor construction”. After reviewing the AE Design Drawings, the only CLIN identification that we could find in the plans is sheet CU104, where it identifies that the Storm Pipe shown on this sheet is to be included in CLIN 002. Specification section 00 22 13.00 20 lists CLIN’s 0001‐0003, and identifies the work to be included in each CLIN, but there is no CLIN 0003 in the solicitation section B. Can you please clarify what work is to be included in each CLIN?

A1:

“Attachment 1 ‐ CLIN ID SKETCH” renamed “Attachment 1 ‐ CLIN 0002 ID SKETCH” for clarity. The contract numbers on the construction drawings are for reference only. They represent the A&E contract numbers only. The conduit duct banks highlighted in yellow on “Attachment 1 ‐ CLIN 0002 ID SKETCH” are associated with CLIN 0002, Minor Construction. Work includes excavation, pathways, manholes, and backfill. Replacement of (concrete/asphalt) surface pavements associated with the duct bank installation should be included under CLIN 0001 (Repairs). All other work in the proposal should be in CLIN 0001, Repair.

Q2:

Which concrete specification will govern, 033000 or 321314.14?

A2:

Both specification sections apply to this project.

Spec section 033000 applies for general concrete placement for piers/footings/electrical & Com duct bank encasement.

Spec Section 321314.14 applies to all concrete work for airfield pavements.

Q3:

1. Attachment 2 – Drawings, Sheet CU104, Note #1 states, “THIS SHEET SHOWS STORM PIPING TO COLLECT ROOF WATER FROM THE SUN SHADES VIA DOWNSPOUT CONNECTIONS AS BID OPTION "CLIN 0002".” This note will be deleted via an amendment to the solicitation. See solicitation Amendment 01 and Attachment 1 ‐ CLIN 0002 ID SKETCH for items included in CLIN 0002.

2. Attachment 2 – Drawings, Sheet CI101, Note #17 states, “INSTALL CONDUCTORS FOR COMMUNICATIONS, SECURITY, AND POWER FROM THE SOURCE CONNECTION POINTS TO ELECTRICAL PANELS A, B, C AND INSTALL ALL SUN SHADE POWER AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS.” This note will be deleted via an amendment to the solicitation. See solicitation Amendment 01 and Attachment 1 ‐ CLIN 0002 ID SKETCH for items included in CLIN 0002.

3. An unusual sawcut in the asphalt pavement was found just outside of Air Force Building #1637 inside the project’s limits. Please provide information pertaining to the significance of these sawcuts as it relates to this requirement.

4. Attachment 3 – Specifications, Section 03 30 00 does not provide a range for the acceptable slump of concrete. Please provide clarification for a required slump range or if the slump range would be determined by the vendor. Attachment 3 – Specifications, Section 32 13 14.13, 2.12.4 provides a maximum allowable slump of the concrete at the point of placement is 2 inches for pavement constructed with fixed forms. Please provide clarification if the 2 inch slump requirement is applicable to concrete hand placements.

5. The location for epoxy coated reinforcement is not clear. Please provide clarification on the location of required epoxy coated reinforcement.

A3:

1. The storm water lines indicated in note 1 shall be included in the base bid, CLIN 0001. Lines shall terminate flush with the pavement.

2. Conductors indicated in note 17 are not part of the contract. Install conduit duct bank with pull lines.

Cap conduit per detail A7, Sheet EJ 601.

3. Saw cuts are an abandoned gate sensor loop. Demo with associated work. No need to restore.

4. For concrete under spec 03 30 00, the slump is determined through the mix design. A normal slump for a footing, pier or slab would be 3” or 4”. In section 2.5.1d it states that tolerances must meet the requirements of ACI 117. The following is from section 2.5 in ACI 117 –

2.5.1 Slump

Where slump is specified as “maximum” or “not to exceed” For all values........................................................+0 in.

Specified slump 3 in. or less ..........................–1‐1/2 in.

Specified slump more than 3 in........................–2‐1/2 in.

Where slump is specified as a single value Specified slump 2 in. and less........................ ±1/2 in.

Specified slump more than 2 in. but not greater than 4 in..................................................................±1 in.

Specified slump more than 4 in........................±1‐1/2 in.

Where slump is specified as a range........no tolerance

The following is taken from the Supplemental Report for UFGS 32 13 14.13 Table 10 UFGS 32 13 14.13 Slump Requirements by Placement Method Placement Method Maximum Slump Slipform As selected to meet edge slump limits Fixed Form 2 ins. (50 mm) Triple Roller Screed 3 ins. (75 mm) Hand Placement 3 ins. (75 mm)

5. All rebar shall be epoxy coated per specifications.

Q4:

Due to the rusting of manhole steps over the years, installing steps in manholes has become a liability issue. Are you sure you want to put steps in a manhole that will be deteriorating in a few years and possibly cause an accident? A ladder and tripod retrieval system with winch is require any way by the confined space entry regulations.

A4:

Q10:

1. The solicitation states the project shall be complete within 252 calendar days after receiving notice to proceed. Does this include the allowance of 30 calendar days where work is prohibited due to flight operations and a further allowance of 30 calendar days of abeyance for excavation and subsurface activities?

Reference Paragraph 1.2. In addition, there 2 non‐workdays per month for weather to be included in the schedule. After NTP time must allow be allowed for the early critical submittals and review time which is likely in the 60 calendar day time frame. With the above deductions, the number of actual calendar days for construction is approximately 132 calendar days, which is not realistic for the scope of work required to complete. Based on this will you consider extending the time required to complete the project?

2. How many existing electrical panels at the Sun Shades are to be removed? These are not shown on the drawings.

3. Where is water and power available for use by the contractor at the project site? Will the base charge the contractor for use of utilities?

Q14:

The Contract specifications are unclear if an On Site Concrete Batch Plant is required for this project.

If a plant is required, please provide a location for an on site batch plant.

A14:

On site batch plant is NOT required. Government will accept batch plant located up to 25 min from the installation with the condition the concrete is placed with temperature of the concrete below the maximum allowable concrete placing temperatures shown in the table in section 3.3.2.

Q15:

During the job walk, there were discussion concerning the new shelters and electrical service to these shelters. It was stated that these new shelters were not part of this contract and the electrical services to these shelters are not part of the contract. Will the drawings and specifications be updated to relfect the discussions held at the job walk? Verbal changes at the job walk are not binding and without the changes, the project must be bid as shown on the solicitation package.

A15:

The government does not anticipate installing sunshades during this construction effort. No impact to the apron construction schedule due to shelter installation. Note 17, sheet CI101 work is not part of this request for proposal. Do not install power conductors, fiber optic cables or electrical switch gear. Only install equipment pads, underground pathways.

Will the contractor be able to get contractor vehicles and equipment on base on Saturdays? most bases have the contractor entrance closed on weekends.

2. In the Solicitation, Section L, Volume II ‐ Technical is stated to be limited to 20 pages in length and consist of Subfactor 1 Project Management, Project Schedule, Org Chart, and Resumes and Subfactor 2 Company Experience of a capability statement for at least 2 recent projects. Please confirm if all these items are included in the 20 page limit or just the Project Management Approach. Can the Resumes, Org Chart and Project Schedule be included as attachments outside of the 20 page limit? What items will actually be constricted to the 20 page limit for Volume II?

3. Will projects still in progress, greater than 50% complete, be allowed for "Past Performance". The Relevancy criteria in Volume III (a) Relevency states project "performed" and not project "completed".

4. On the bottom of every page of the specifications in the "CUI" designation. Please explain what this designation signifies? There is no verbiage in the Solicitaion referencing Federal safeguarding requirements for controlled unclassified information (CUI)a s established by Executive Order 13556.

5. Will Shade structure and other demoltion activites be permitted before approval of PCCP concrete mix design for 32 13 14.13?

6. Since the project only has less that 2,000 cyds of concrete, will a commercial batch plant be permitted instead of the on site batch plant?

7. Will the government supply a location on base for the on site batch plant?

8. In meeting the requirements for Hot/ Cold weather PCCP placement often times concrete placement activities outside normal 8AM to 5pm working hours. If the batch plant location is located outside the base, will the commercial gate be opened to allow for concrete truck deliveries?

9. if batch plant is located off government property, will priority be given to delivery trucks entering the commercial gate to comply with batch to placement times?

10. Grate description on page C504 should read "38BF24GSF". Can we get confirmation on the proper grate for this application?

11. In order to remove the components (conduits, anchor bolts, ground rods, etc.) at approximately 1 in below the surface would require removal of concrete at the surface and creating a larger patch around any embedded components. We are requesting a clarification on this item. We suggesting the following verbiage: "Cut all embedded items flush with concrete. Fill conduit opening with non‐shrink grout by installing foam and duct seal 6 inches down conduit, then fill with grout. At all embed locations cover / seal with epoxy material. This would avoid coring or chipping at the embed locations and minimize disturbance at the concrete surface. I.e. we grout openings and seal the top with a road grade epoxy" A 1 inch patch in these conditions will almost certainly spall. Open to other suggestions if available. Flush mounted plugs don’t really exist with any kind of traffic rating for 2 inch pvc conduit. Caps would require additional coring and removals.

A16:

1. The commercial gate access is Monday thru Friday 6:00 AM to 2:30 PM. Saturday deliveries would have to be scheduled 2‐3 weeks in advance. Normal gate operations will allow pickup truck and van access.
