Amendment 0004

Question 1: CLIN’s 092001-092004 all reference eelgrass surveys for locations not covered under this contract (see also similar CLIN’s for Options Years). Section 013529, par. 1.15 also provides details of these surveys. Are eelgrass surveys required for the Columbia and Snake Rivers?

Answer 1: The reference eelgrass surveys are still applicable to the locations under this contract.

Eelgrass surveys may be required if present any of the geographic locations covered under this contract. Each task order will specify if an eelgrass survey is required. Eelgrass surveys need to be included in the cost estimate.

Question 2: Section 011000, par. 1.04, F includes “ATON structures within a 10 nautical mile radius of the Westernmost point of the northern entrance jetty”. What structures are anticipated in this area?

Is an ocean mobilization required?

Answer 2: There are no structures anticipated at this time within a 10 nautical mile radius west of the northern entrance jetty. Structures may be anticipated within the duration of this contract.

Ocean mobilization is not anticipated for the duration of this contract.

Question 3: Section 013529, par. 1.02 states, “The contractor shall obtain all necessary local, state and Federal permits required for the work described in the delivery order.” In subparagraphs C and D there is further language indicating that the contactor is to obtain in-water work permits/authorizations for this work. Historically, all such permitting has been handled by the Coast Guard.

It seems that the Coast Guard should continue to handle that as it bears more clout than a single marine contractor. If the contractor is to secure all such permits, will a CLIN be provided for pricing such effort?

Answer 3: The Coast Guard will obtain all necessary local, state, and federal permits required.

Paragraph 1.02 under Section 01 35 29 shall be removed. See attached revised Specification to reflect this change.

Question 4: Section 051200, par. 3.02 states that all welders shall be certified by the State of Washington.

Similar requirements are found in section 055000, par. 3.01 and 3.02. Will any certification per AWS suffice without being limited to only the State of Washington?

Answer 4: Certification per AWS will suffice without being limited to only the State of Washington.

Question 5: Section B “Schedule of Prices” includes 59 pages of bid forms to be filled out. Would it be acceptable to replicate this form using Microsoft Excel then print out the completed forms for submission with our bid? This will reduce the possibility of math errors.

Answer 5: Yes, it will be acceptable to replicate all information in Schedule B using Microsoft Excel.
