PPI # Page Section Paragraph Question Responses

17 18 & 19 33 11 00 3.2.2

Specification Section 33 11 00 requires Hydrostatic Testing, Leakage Testing and Special Testing requirements including hydrostatic pressure of not less than 200 psi for no less than 2 hours. The Mechanical drawings indicate that the 6" Fresh Water line is to be removed and stored for re-installation (i.e. reuse). Without knowing the condition of the existing Fresh water line or the last time it was tested, please advise on potential remedies for the reinstalled water line test failures should they occur.

Per Specification Section 33 11 00

“FRESH WATER UTILITY

DISTRIBUTION PIPING” the piping material is ductile piping, and per

SECTION 02 41 00 DEMOLITION

AND DECONSTRUCTION,

Paragraph 3.6 REUSE OF SALVAGED ITEMS Recondition salvaged materials and equipment designated for reuse before installation. Replace items damaged during removal and salvage operations or restore them as necessary to usable condition.

Contractor shall recondition the ductile pipe (i.e. replace all joined gasket/rubber ring/etc.), replace any damaged items during removal & storage, etc., before commencing reinstallation of the 6” Fresh water.

C-503

Drawing C-503 shows inlet protection and silt fence details, but there are no drawings that show the locations for installation. Please provide overall drawings for silt fence and inlet protection locations.

Fence locations and sediment control shall be determined by the contractor based on the limits of site disturbance, soil stockpiles, etc. See specification section 01 57 19.

What is the loading criteria of the existing pier 31/ bents? What equipment loading can be utilized for construction activities?

The existing Pier 31 bents were designed based on various load combinations included on the reference drawings and assuming composite action of the cap / deck. The contractor shall provide calculations for loading of the piers depending on the state of demolition or construction and the pier bent section that is present at the time to ensure the pier bents are not overstressed for the intended contractor's loading.

What is the loading criteria for Pier 10? What equipment loading can be utilized for construction activities?

The loads are indicated on the Pier 10 record dwgs in appendix A1.

However, they are largely unreadable.

Based on the readable information, the design live loads are 600 psf, AASHTO H20 truck load, and crane outrigger loads of various magnitudes based on pick radius. The contractor shall determine equipment based on the 600 psf live load and H20 truck loads.

What is the loading criteria for Pier 17? What equipment loading can be utilized for construction activities?

The pier 17 design loads are indicated in the appendix A1 on the Pier 17 record dwgs. The contractor shall determine equipment based on its' loading.

CN107 /

CN301

In regards to the phasing of the alternates for the Pier 10 demo and dredging, how does this dredging coincide with the contract dredging of Pier 31 and turning basin?

Does all material under/adjacent to Pier 10 need to be place in CAD cell prior to balance of dredge from in all 3 areas (P31, basin, and P10)? (Sheet CN107/Sheet CN301- Note 2).

Assuming Pier 10 option is awarded the dredge material shall be placed as indicated in note 2. "Dredge areas adjacent / underneath piers"

CN301

If initial 2' of dredge material is required to be removed first is there sufficient capacity within the CAD cell for pier 10 and Pier 31 locations be placed below EL-57 in the center CAD cell? (CAD CELL Long typ Section; sheet CN301)

There is no significance to EL -57.

CAD Cell sections on CN301 are included for diagrammatic purposes and to further inform the handling of dredged material disposal within the CAD cells.

1.4.1.C

No photos are allowed per Specification Section 1.4.1.C. Are phones and laptops with cameras allowed to be operated on the base?

No.

S-106, S-303

Existing record drawing G-003 (sheet 3 of 135 dated April 2, 2013) show Pier 31 having 23 support bents. The P-1044 Pier 31 Extension Plans show bent #24 is an existing pile bent to remain in place (S-106). Sheet S-303, section A2 includes bent 24 within the pier extension. Please indicate what set of documents is correct.

Record dwg G-003 is incorrect. Pier 31 has 24 bents (Record dwg S101).

Existing bent 24 will be modified as part of the extension and remain in place for pier extension.

1.33.00 1.10.d

Section 01.33.00-1.10.d- To properly schedule the work the duration noted for review by the contracting officer is blank. How many days for submittals when the contracting officer is reviewing and approving?

21 days.

Paragraph 2.2.2.1

Please provide connection details for how the proposed elevated compressed air enclosure is attached to the steel dunnage. The current drawing set does not detail if the new enclosure is to be welded or bolted to the steel dunnage while meeting the required 110 MPH equivalent wind load that is indicated in specification section 22 15 14.00 40

The compressor enclosure may be bolted or welded depending on the configuration of the compressor base framing provided by the manufacturer.

Coordinate base framing connection requirement with the manufacturer and the design wind load.

Drawing C-

The callout on drawing C-103 states "Provide Concrete Encased Conduit" that appears to run below the surface to what appear to be two new Crane Shore Power Terminals (Terminal 1 and 2) in the existing parking spaces.

There are also two light poles that are to be relocated along the bulkhead curb line. Note 4 on drawing C-103 states "See Electrical Drawings for Underground duct bank layout and details." but there are no details provided in the Electrical Drawings. Please provide details for these conduit / duct bank runs, including installation depth below the existing surface as well as details on the new crane shore power terminals. Please also advise if the conduits are to run underneath the existing parking spaces in existing

Amendment #3, Page 2 of

Paragraph 1.2

Amendment #3 states that Demolition of Pier 10 and Crate Test Area are to be included as Bid Option 0001, however the revised Attachment H - Price Proposal form has only Pier 10 as Bid Option 1 while the Crane Test Weight Area Demolition remains in Bid Option 4.

Please clarify.

Amendment #3, Page 2 of

Paragraph 1.2

Amendment #3 states that the Demolition of Pier 10 Option and Crane Weight Test Area Option may be exercised within 365 days after contract award. If it were exercised exactly 365 days after award it would likely push off Pier 10 dredging if also exercised to beyond October 1, 2026 dredging window.

Should the bid time assumption be that this option would not be awarded until 365 days after award?

Clarifications will be provided at the time of executing the Bid Options.

Photograph in SD606, Detail A1 & A3 and Drawing SD104 show the CWTA Demo of Fender system as a timber fender system mounted to the concrete fascia. Drawing SD303 appears to show the fender system differently from the photo on SD606 as a fiberglass Pile with Arch Fender. Please clarify which is correct.

Both dwgs SD 104 and SD606 are correct. The existing fender system is timber facing mounted to steel H piles.

There is an arch fender connecting the H pile to the concrete fascia. See also A4/SD606 for additional information.

Drawing E- 106 & E-403

Regarding the Grounding and attachment to the piles as shown on Detail A2 and A4 on Drawing E- 403, it is not clear to which piles and how many piles we are to ground to.

Based on Drawing E-106 it appears the existing pier section between Bents 1 through 24 already has an embedded grounding wire that is already connected to the existing piles. Are we only to connect new

C-103 & C-

Drawing C-103 contains a double dashed line on the landside of the new curb extension with no callout indicating what this pertains to but appears to indicate the guardrail that is called out on drawing C-506.

Please confirm the following: 1.)

The Double dashed line is for the new Guardrail, 2.) There are no guardrail transitions back to the existing curb or fence line and blunt ends in the guardrail are intended, 3.) the guardrail should be continous along the entire curb extension for about 285 feet and is intended to block the access to the new 40' and 15' manual sliding gates to be incorporated into the fence line.

1. The double dashed line on C103 is the new guardrail. 2. The returns on the guard rails should be standard galvanized steel "bull nose" terminal ends. 3. The guard rails shall be open to match the width of the sliding gate openings
