BEGIN ADDENDUM

A. Why do derelicts need to be removed out of the water to be dissembled?

B. Moving to upland location will add $3000-$10,000. To the cost and another week to removal.

A. It is expected that most vessels be removed from the water before breaking apart to avoid the possibilities of vessel debris entering the water column adding to the cleanup needed. The vessel must be removed in its entireties from the water.

B. It may add minimal cost to the removal of the vessel to break it on land instead of the water, however this is required under the Best Management Practices to avoid unnecessary debris in the water column. In the event that the vessel must be broken on the water, the contractor is required to ensure that all parts of the vessel including any debris left in the water are removed and disposed of.

Item 3.4.3 On land staging area? Where do we find an approved DDMS site? Is there a list of locations that can be used?

No there is not. The contractor is required to select a location and prep that area for the purpose of being used as a DDMS site with any permitting needed handled by the contractor.
