Who is responsible for the utlity locations?

The Contractor 0002

Due to current potentially significant tariffs being placed on the importation of building materials such as wood or steel by the current Presidential Executive Branch, if a tariff is placed after bid time and before award will the government consider a price escalation on a contract value for products such as steel or wood should the executive branch levee tariffs effecting such materials? Most of these materials would still have been Buy American compliant as the tariffs would

No 0002 increase pricing on all steel or wood materials, regardless of origin.

As a result of the effect of COVID- 19 throughout the U.S., and the resulting Federal, State and local governments’ responses / requirements of safe distancing and potential advocations of working remotely and/or complete organization closures, please advise how the Government intends to address delays resulting there as it pertains to the current solicitation schedule for this and all future projects.

Propose in accordance with the RFP.

Indicates 2-1000 gal propane tanks.

Yet HVAC controls indicates natural gas. Please verify what is required for the building HVAC system. And where is the gas lines to the building?

The label “ Proposed 12’x20’ propane Tank” on civil plan C-001 refers to concrete pad only, not the type of gas to be used for HVAC system, the label “PROPANE TANK” refers only to the type of tank not the type of gas to be used for the HVAC system.

Plumbing plans govern here for the type of gas to be used for the HVAC system.

The connection from the tanks is shown on the civil plan C-001 from the back of the 2-1000 gal proposed propane tanks to the building with a dash line and is label as “ SYNTHETIC NATURAL GAS”. Note 6 on sheet P-101 covers more detailed information on this new piping.

Drawing S-101- Note 5a

Shows Six New Rail Joint locations which are to be cut and drilled for the installation of Contractor Furnished Joint Bars and Note 5b shows Two Existing Joints that are to be reused. We have the following Questions - A.) Since we would have to furnish Six Pair of New Joint Bars, Track Bolts, Nuts and Washers at these locations, can you advise what the existing Rail Section is? B.) On the other end of the track

A) Provide new 131# rail.

B) Remove additional rail to existing splice location.

Splices shall be staggered.

Salvage and reuse existing splice components to extent practical.

C) Thermite field weld all joints at embedded track in accordance with specification 34 11 00.

replacement, Note 5b shows an two existing joints to be removed and replaced. It is directly opposite one of the New Joints referenced in Note 5a. General Railroad Practice does not allow bolted joints directly across from each other. They usually must be staggered at least 13’ apart. We would advise to go back along the existing rail to the existing joint and make this a 5b joint also. This should involve only removing an additional 16 to 19’ of rail at the most on one side. Please advise. C.) Four out of the Six locations listed in Note 5a will be within the new concrete slab.

General Railroad Practice does not permit bolted joints within the limits of any embedded track as this will become an impact point and the bolts cannot be retightened. The Mainline Railroads do not permit bolted joints within the limits or any closer than 15’ of embedded track or highway road crossings. We feel all eight joints should be Thermite Field Welded in accordance with standard Railroad Specifications.

Please advise.

Standard for this application called Steel Leveling Beams that can be purchased from several different Suppliers. This detail shows the Jack Screws drilled and grouted in the first pour concrete. We have never seen this on this type of installation. Usually after the first pour is complete, the General Contractor installs and ties the bottom matt of Rebar. The Railroad Contractor then installs the Steel Leveling Beams and Rail to preliminary line and grade. The General Contractor then completes all rebar and form work.

A pre-pour check list is completed ant the Railroad Contractor makes any final adjustment to the line and grade. The General then makes the final pour. With the jack screws embedded in the bottom pour, any final adjustments would be difficult.

We have attached a Standard Steel Beam Support Drawing from one of the suppliers as well as a Jobsite Photo of a project we completed for the new Trolly Line in Washington, DC for your reference. A.) Can we eliminate embedding the Jack Screws into the bottom pour and use the standard Pointed Jack Screws shown on the attached Iron Horse Drawing.

Summary - Recommended tracking methods based on project requirements - The drawings and scope show two 42.38’ sections of track to remove and rebuild.

We do not feel this will give adequate clearance for the equipment needed to construct the new footers and building extension without running over and damaging the existing track. We feel that at least 78’ of existing track needs to be removed.

All the old rail and OTM should be scrapped. Sort
