BEGIN ADDENDUM
QUESTION #1
Are there any actual photos of the barge as it rest currently?
ANSWER #1
The contractor awarded the project is required to take - before, during and after removal photos of the vessel to include disposal in their scope of work. A site visit is required by all potential contractors where they may photograph the vessel if needed at that time as well. This vessel can be easily located.
QUESTION #2
Is it sunken, is it beach or is it broken in half?
ANSWER #2
This vessel is sunken and resting on the bottom in approximately 4-5 feet of water.
Only the top of the barge is visible at high tide, and it’s located close to the shoreline of Shell Island.
QUESTION #3
How shallow is the water and is it in a protected area?
ANSWER #3
The water is approximately 4-5 feet in depth and is within an aquatic preserve area.
The investigating officer advised that there is sea grass within the area of the vessel but not directly under or next to the vessel at this time. Caution not to damage surrounding sea grass will need to be considered in removal plan.
QUESTION #4
Does FWC have a specific disposal/scrap yard that has been selected for the derelict barge, or is the scrap yard up to the Bidder’s discretion?
ANSWER #4
The vessel must be disposed of in a class 1 landfill unless otherwise specified and agreed upon by FWC Contract Manager. If it is to be scrapped for salvage value, the salvage value must offset the removal cost by 50% of the salvage proceeds received.
If scrapped, the bidder will determine and request approval for that chosen location.
