AMENDMENT 0006
The purpose of this amendment is to:
1. Provide Pre-Proposal Inquiry (PPI) responses
2. Revise the Solicitation
3. Specification and Drawing Revisions
4. Provide Site Visit Sign In
5. Provide Additional Attachments
1. Pre-Proposal Inquiry (PPI) responses:
13. Inquiry: (Reference Page 15, Section 00 21 00) Reference is made to Factor 4
– Technical Solution, pg 15: ""The Gantt chart may be on a single 11x17 or A3 page that will not count against the page limitation for the narrative."" Would the government consider increasing the page limit for the Gantt chart to 3 pages to provide a more detailed review of durations and logic?
Response: See Amendment Detail below.
14. Inquiry: (Reference Page 8, Paragraph 2.2.3) In alignment to other tender issued by NAVFAC, please confirm that Bonds can be issued either by primary Banks and by Insurance Companies.
Response: Propose in accordance with solicitation.
15. Inquiry: Please confirm that no lightning rods/systems are requested to be supplied for this
Contract.
Response: Yes, the lightning arrestors/rods are part of the Lightning Protection System (LPS). Refer to LPS Drawings EJ110A and EJ110B.
16. Inquiry: Was mentioned during Site Visit held on Feb 15, 2023 the intent of phasing the sites. Please confirm and if requested please provide details due the necessity to adapt/structurize the Gantt Chart required within Factor- 4 Technical Solution.
Response: Refer to Attachment H, "1659896dwgVOL2_1of4," Page 22, “C- 002B." Only phasing of Site 2 is necessary to maintain access to the Zulu Loop..
17. Inquiry: Attachment E price schedule refers to CLIN 0002, UXO. The solicitation specifies that such CLIN might be awarded within 180 days after award. If UXO is required, according to HN regulations no activity can take place on site bevor the area is cleared. This means that the entire schedule will be impacted of 180 days (in case of late award). Should we consider such duration increase as an option in the schedule within our proposal?
Response: Contractor should propose an adequate and realistic schedule based on all known sitework constraints, and will be responsible for accomplishing all required UXO clearance work prior to start of construction.
18. Inquiry: (Reference Dwg CD101A page 30 of 429, Section Note 4 & 5)
Specified notes require to remove and/or relocate existing (several) earth stockpile. Considerable quantity has been viewed and therefore request specific instructions if needs to be removed OR relocated and in such case within how much distance/radius from the job-site area.
Response: See Amendment detail below. The soil is to be disposed of offsite by the contractor. Refer to Attachment Q - Revised Drawing CD101A Note 4.
19. Inquiry: (Reference Dwg CD102B Note 5 & CS102B Note 9) Note 5 (Dwg
CD102B) specifies existing fence to remain while Note 9 (Dwg CS102B) specifies existing fence to remove and replace as necessary. Please clarify. Bear in mind that Gas line (Dwg CD102B) Note 3 must be demolished.
Response: Existing fence line and alignment is to remain. Fence will need to be removed and replaced as necessary to accommodate demolition activities.
20. Inquiry: As discussed during the site visit, please confirm that the contractor will not be charged for the use of base water, sewer and electric during the project.
These utilities will be used within the mobilization area for the operation of the contract and NAVFAC office compound.
Response: See Amendment detail below. Paragraph 3.2.2 is deleted in Specification Section 01 50 00.

Response: Refer to Attachment H, "1659896dwgVOL2_1of4," Page 22, “C- 002B." Only phasing of Site 2 is necessary. There is no additional project phasing requirements related to requiring the Zulu Loop site before the Repair Facility Site. Propose in accordance with solicitation.
22. Inquiry: As discussed during the site visit, please consider combining CLIN
0001 and CLIN 0002. CLIN 0002 is an Option CLIN and if not awarded with CLIN0001 could have an impact on the project schedule.
23. Inquiry: (Reference CK551, SK552) Detail B4 in CK551 shows a slab with two reinforcing meshes (DIAM 8mm). Detail A2 in SK552 shows only one reinforcing mesh (DIAM 12mm). Please clarify which detail must be considered: number and diameter.
Response: Detail B4 on CK551 is a detail for the concrete paving outside of the building. Detail A2 on SK552 is a detail for the concrete slab inside the building. The detail on SK552 is related to the slab on grade at the interior of the buildings, and on the platform outside the exits. The single layer reinforcement indicated is as per design results. The detail shown in civil drawings should refer to the exterior paving.
24. Inquiry: (Reference CK551) Where is it applicable detail B4?
Response: Detail B4 refers to the concrete pavement outside of building.
25. Inquiry: (Reference CP101B) There is a concrete paved road in D3/D4 in the drawing. Where does this road end? Are joints necessary along such road?
Response: Refer to Attachment P, "Site 2 Access Road Aerial," the attached aerial should address the question in terms of road quantities for length and width. The road is 5M wide and 245M in length. The paving depths are per Detail B4 CK551 and joint spacing is 10M per Detail A4 CK551.
26. Inquiry: (Reference CU101B) We couldnt find any detail of the "NEW
SIDEWALK". Thickness, finishing, joints are not defined. We couldn't find any clarification in the specs either. Please clarify.
Response: See Amendment detail below. Refer to Attachment R, “Revised Drawing CS102B” Keynote 3 and sidewalk detail.
27. Inquiry: (Reference CS101A) Detail 12, Reinforced POL Crossing. Please provide details referenced in the Italian translation of the note. We couldn't find any detail.
Response: There is not a separate detail for the POL crossing. Verify a minimum of 1.0M cover of existing Pol Line and backfilled in accordance with Detail C3 -CK552.

29. Inquiry: (Reference CU101A) Note 16 is different in English and Italian.
Please can you clarify what the right diametee is?
Response: See Amendment detail below. Refer to Attachment S, “Revised Drawing CU101A” Keynote 16.
30. Inquiry: (Reference CU101A) Note 13 is different in English and Italian.

Response: See Amendment detail below. Refer to Attachment S, “Revised Drawing CU101A” Keynote 13.
31. Inquiry: Request is to confirm that NAVFAC personnel needs proper offices on site during the project execution period. In that case, please quantify the resources to accomodate in these temporary offices.
Response: Refer to Attachment G- Specifications. See Section 01 50 00 paragraph 3.6.1 and paragraph 3.6.2
32. Inquiry: During the site visit in Aviano, further important amendments to the project requirements were announced. Request is to confirm that these amendments are going to be issued. In that case, please consider our request to have a further extension of 3 weeks to the tender due date to process these amendments and to arrange the hard copies proposal submission.
33. Inquiry: It is evidenced that this project is relevant to works to be performed in Italy by companies with SOA accreditation. This accreditation is mainly owned by italian companies. Our enquires with our primary italian banks relevant to the submission of the requested Performance Guarantee has evidenced that the requested standard for this Guarantee to US laws cannot be achieved. Overall this seems a contradiction between different requirements that could void the submission of proposals for these works. It is therefore requested to amend this requirement accepting Performance Guarantees issued according to italian standards. Alternatively, for the Optional Performance and Payment Bonds, it is requested to amend the requirement towards Italian standards to 10% of the contract amount issued by insurance companies.
Response: Reference Page 8 of the Solicitation, Section 2.2.3 Performance Guarantee. “The offeror whose offer is accepted shall, within ten (10) days after award, furnish either (1) a Performance Guarantee and a notarized Performance Guarantee Letter conforming to the requirements below, or (2) Performance and Payment bonds conforming to the requirements below.” Propose in accordance with the solicitation.

REVISED TO:
Narrative shall not exceed eight (8) double-sided pages (or sixteen (16) single-sided pages). In addition, provide up to three (3) single-sided pages for the schedule Gantt Chart to graphically present the contract duration.
