Q27. Due to the complexity of this project a two (2) week postponement of the bid date is requested.

A27. See Amendment No. 0002.

Q28. According to the signage schedule on drawing A-603, Detail B1 & C1 state the signs are to be melamine plastic. However, the spec section 10 14 00.20 states the standard interior rooms signs are to be aluminum with melamine plastic engraving. Please confirm to follow the signage schedule drawing A-603 or the specs section 10 14 00.20.

A28. The safety hazard signs should be aluminum. The room signs should be melamine. C1 and B1 are melamine with raised lettering. Signs C2 and B2 should be aluminum.

Q29. According to the signage schedule on drawing A-603, Detail C1 states the signs are to have corners rounded to ½”. However, the spec section 10 14 00.20 states the standard interior rooms signs are to be rounded to 3/8”. Please confirm to follow the signage schedule drawing A-603 or the specs section 10 14 00.20.

Q32. We are requesting to substitute materials specified in Section 22 13 29 – Sanitary Sewerage Pumps on this project. The specifications is written around one manufacturer with proprietary features. Consequently, only one manufacturer can meet the specifications and bid this project at this time.

A32. The proposed substitute pump is not acceptable. The electrical system is sized to support maximum 400

HP pumps. Proposed substitute pump is 483 HP. Impeller should be semi-open. Impeller for proposed substitute pump is centrifugal. Service cart material should be Type 316 stainless steel. Service cart material for proposed substitute pump is coated structural steel.

Q33. Volume 1, sheet A-212, Graphic Scale shows to use a 3/8” = 1’-0” scale for detail C4 Restroom. The mentioned detail C4 is drawn using a 3/16” = 1’-0” scale. Please confirm detail C4 is to use the 3/16” = 1’- 0” scale.

A33. Detail C4 is drawn at 3/8” = 1’-0” and graphic scale is correctly shown.

Q34. Please clarify the intent of specifying Type V cement for this project. ACI 318 “Building Code” indicates in Tables 4.2.1 & 4.3.1, that for moderate sulfate exposure “class S1” (seawater, Water soluble sulfate (SO4) in soil, percent by weight {0.10 < SO4 < 0.20} or Sulfate (SO4) in water {150 ppm < SO4 < 1500 ppm}) Type II cement is required. Unless the owners are expecting sulfate concentrations greater than “moderate” as defined by ACI 318, there is no need for Type V cement. If higher sulfate is expected, Hawaiian Cement can offer Type II cement with Class “F” fly ash to improve the sulfate resistance. Section R4.3 (Requirements for concrete mixtures) of ACI 318 states “The use of fly ash (ASTM C618, Class F), natural pozzolans (ASTM C618, Class N), silica fume (ASTM C1240), or ground-granulated blast-furnace slag (ASTM C989) also has been shown to improve the sulfate resistance of concrete.” The footnote on Table 4.3.1 states “‡For seawater exposure, other types of portland cements with tricalcium aluminate (C3A) contents up to 10 percent are permitted if the w /cm does not exceed 0.40.” Again, there is no requirement for type V. Remember that type V cement is for sulfate resistance only and does not improve resistance to chemical attack (acids) or corrosion (hydrogen sulfide in sewage treatment). If this is the intended purpose for the Type V cement, again, the addition of class “f’ fly ash can greatly improve chemical and corrosion resistance by decreasing the permeability of the concrete.

A.34. See answer to Question 7.

Q35. Bypass, C-003. Government provide bypass pumping gallons per hour at existing wetwell, SMH C5 to C3 and SMH D12 to New SMH109.

A35. Refer to C-003 Note 1 for portable pump minimum capacity. Estimated average day flow and peak flow at

SMH C5 are 2.5 mgd and 5.8 mgd, respectively. Estimated average day flow and peak flow at SMH D12 are 2.3 mgd and 5.3 mgd, respectively.

Q36. Tech Specs, 01 57 19, 1.4.2 (Page 9). Government provide copy of the installation's Environmental

Management System.

A36. See Amendment No. 0002.

Q37. Environ, Public Record. Government provide the Environmental Record of Decision for the Shipyard area of Pearl Harbor, related to CERCLA (Superfund) Liability

A37. There is no Record of Decision for the CERCLA sites identified for this project.

Q38. As-builts, C-102. Government provide as-builts for fuel lines to be abandoned and removed, particularly regarding pipeline coatings, fuel in lines and cleaning performed or to be performed by the Government.

A38. See Amendment No. 0002 for available record drawings. Fuel lines were assumed to be emptied and cleaned prior to abandonment. However, Contractor should take necessary precautions for potential residual in the fuel lines.

Q39. Structural, 03 30 00, Paragraph 2.4.1.1. Hawaiian Cement RFI on Type 5 Cement, attached

A39. See answer to Question 7.

Q40. Basis of Design, Page 44. Government provide DON "Excavation and Dewatering in the Pearl Harbor

Naval Complex (14 Dec 94) document.

A40. See Amendment No. 0002.

Q41. Basis of Design, Page 46. Government provide Navy Guidance "Technical Memorandum for Evaluating

Sites in Hawaii with Soil Potentially Impacted by Pesticides Applied to Control Termites and Other Pests and an Approach for Developing a Remedial Response (March 2013) document.

A41. See Amendment No. 0002.

Q42. Basis of Design, Page 47. Government provide Department of Navy issued letter for excavation and dewatering with guidelines for handling petroleum contaminated soil and groundwater in the Pearl Harbor Naval Complex document.

A42. See Amendment No. 0002.

Q43. Environ, 02 61 23. REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL OF PCB CONTAMINATED SOILS Paragraph 2.2

Field Screening Test - Is there a specific field test recommended to screen for PCCBs that meets the listed requirements (capable of detecting PCBs down to at least 1 ppm, with less that 5 percent false negatives, and providing on site results within 2 hours of taking sample)?

A43. Yes, the RaPID Assay field test should be capable of achieving the required detection limit within the time frame required.

Q44. Environ, 02 61 23. Paragraph 3.3.4 Excavation Limits - The contaminated area map (G-008) and contaminated area plot plan 1 (G-009) identify the horizontal limits of PCB-contaminated soil. What are the vertical limits of PCB-contaminated soil? According to the contaminated area plot 1 (G-009), PCB-contaminated soil extends beyond the boundary of the pump station project site; is Paragraph 3.3.4 requiring excavation for the entire PCB-contaminated area shown on G-009, or only contaminated soil within the project site boundary, or only material within the project site that requires disturbance to construct the project?

A44. Refer to figures showing sampling results at selected depths. Paragraph 3.3.4 is referring to the excavated material within the project site that requires disturbance to construct the project.

Q45. Environ, 02 61 23. Paragraph 3.5.2 Disposal - PCB-contaminated soil (greater that 50 mg/kg) that must be disposed of at a TSCA regulated landfill cannot be disposed on-island and must me shipped to a mainland facility. Since PCBs were detected up to 170 mg/kg, the quantity of PCB-contaminated soil to be shipped to the mainland cannot be determined. For pricing purposes, does the government have an estimated quantity of PCB-contaminated soil that will require shipping to a TSCA regulated landfill?

A45. The estimated quantity of PCB-contaminated soil that will require shipping to a TSCA regulated landfill is

550 cubic yards for the Base Bid and 600 cubic yards for Bid Option 3.

Q46. Abandonment, Volume II, C-101 to C-111. Contractor request government furnish as-builts for existing

Gravity Sewer Mains shown on the referenced drawings.

A46. NAVFAC Hawaii personnel was not able to find as-built drawings of the gravity sewer lines. NAVFAC

Hawaii has Sewer System maps which indicate manhole ID's, distance between manholes, top of manhole elevation, manhole invert elevation, and pipe size.

Q47. Why is Type V cement specified for this project and for this particular applications?

ACI 318 “Building Code” indicates in Tables 4.2.1 & 4.3.1, that for moderate sulfate exposure “class S1” (seawater, Water soluble sulfate (SO4) in soil, percent by weight {0.10 < SO4 < 0.20} or Sulfate (SO4) in water {150 ppm < SO4 < 1500 ppm}) Type II cement is required. Unless the owners are expecting sulfate concentrations greater than “moderate” as defined by ACI 318, there is no need for Type V cement. Please refer to the attached copy of ACI 318 Tables 4.2.1 & 4.3.1. If higher sulfate is expected, Hawaiian Cement can offer Type II cement with Class “F” fly ash to improve the sulfate resistance. Section R4.3 (Requirements for concrete mixtures) of ACI 318 states “The use of fly ash (ASTM C618, Class F), natural pozzolans (ASTM C618, Class N), silica fume (ASTM C1240), or ground-granulated blast-furnace slag (ASTM C989) also has been shown to improve the sulfate resistance of concrete.” The footnote on Table

4.3.1 states “‡For seawater exposure, other types of portland cements with tricalcium aluminate (C3A) contents up to 10 percent are permitted if the w /cm does not exceed 0.40.” Again, there is no requirement for type V. Remember that type V cement is for sulfate resistance only and does not improve resistance to chemical attack (acids) or corrosion (hydrogen sulfide in sewage treatment). If this is the intended purpose for the Type V cement, again, the addition of class “f’ fly ash can greatly improve chemical and corrosion resistance by decreasing the permeability of the concrete.

Remember that type V cement is for sulfate resistance only and does not improve resistance to chemical attack (acids) or corrosion (hydrogen sulfide in sewage treatment). If this is the intended purpose for the Type V cement, again, the addition of class “f’ fly ash can greatly improve chemical and corrosion resistance by decreasing the permeability of the concrete.

A77. Refer to amended Section 01 74 19 issued under Amendment No. 0001.

Q78. Specification Section 101400 (Part 2 -2.2.1) – Interior Signage calls for extruded aluminum signs.

However, signage details on Plan Sheet A-603 indicate melamine plastic signs and standard aluminum signs. Which is correct?

A78. The safety hazard signs should be aluminum. The room signs should be melamine. C1 and B1 are melamine with raised lettering. Signs C2 and B2 should be aluminum.

Q79. Specification Section 104416 – Fire extinguishers call for 10-lbs fire extinguisher only. However, life safety plan on Plan Sheet F-102 indicates to provide a fire extinguisher in cabinet in Storage Shed. Which is correct.

A79. Provide fire extinguisher with cabinet for the storage shed.

Q80. Specification Section 104416 – Fire extinguishers. We don’t see any fire extinguishers other than in the

Storage Shed. Are fire extinguishers required in other locations? Please advise.

A80. Portable fire extinguishers are not required for the Pump Station Building. One fire extinguisher is required for the storage shed as shown on F-102.

Drawings C-102 through C-105 indicate several buried pipelines which are shown as diagonally hatched and to be removed however the notes with arrows pointing to specific pipes to be removed do not show all pipes being removed. Please confirm that all pipes which are shown as diagonally hatched are to be removed even if the notes on the drawings only show the ends being cut and plugged.

A83. All pipes shown with diagonal hatching should be removed.

Q84. Specification section 33 30 00, Sanitary Sewers, Gravity, contains the requirement that the manholes be lined with epoxy coating. Please confirm that this is the intent.

A84. Yes, manholes should be lined with epoxy coating.

Q85. Drawing G-005, Environmental Notes, Note 2 references a soil and groundwater screening survey report that was produced. Please advise us how we might get copies.

A85. See Amendment No. 0002.

Q86. Section 31 23 00.00 20 1.8.2 Dewatering Work Plan notes “the use of vibratory equipment or vibratory hammers to install or extract sheet piles, predrilling, excavating, and shoring is prohibited.” Additionally, 3.1.3.e indicates the use of vibratory equipment is not allowed. This is inconsistent with standard practices of installing and extracting sheet piles which are identified as a sheeting/ shoring option in Subsection

3.1.3. Please eliminate the restrictions on use of vibratory equipment as it limits the contractor’s means and methods of performing this work.

A86. Due to the presence of loose and submerged granular fill at the site, the use of vibratory equipment for sheeting and shoring installation or extraction is not recommended.

Q87. Section 31 23 00.00 20 1.8.2 Dewatering Work Plan notes “the use of vibratory equipment or vibratory hammers to install or extract sheet piles, predrilling, excavating, and shoring is prohibited.” In order to construct shoring system to safely construct the pump station, predrilling or drilling will be required in order to achieve adequate depths for shoring stability and groundwater cut-off. Please eliminate the restrictions on predrilling or drilling.

A87. See Amendment No. 0003 for edits to Section 31 23 00.00 20.

Q88. Will the contractor be allowed to utilize the new 7.5 Ton Bridge Crane and Monorail Hoist in the installation of the new pumps, piping and equipment?

A88. Yes.

Q89. Can an odor control manufacturer provide a biotrickling filter system with an EBRT lower than 15 seconds if they provide data from 3 or more systems in operation to qualify their design to meet the specified performance guarantees listed in the specification?

A89. An EBRT of less than 15 seconds is acceptable if the manufacturer meets all other performance requirements included in the specifications.

Q90. Specification section 33 30 00, paragraph 3.1.3.5.1, Jointing, which starts on page 18 of the section, at the top of page 19 the first complete sentence reads, “Provide dewatering system to draw down groundwater level below bottom of the pipe trench.” Paragraph 3.1.3.5 which preceeds this sub-paragraph states in part, “Installation of the pipe and fittings shall be in accordance with the drawings and specifications, and pipe manufacturers recommendations.”

We have had discussions with the pipe manufacturer and they have advised us that it is totally permissible to install and make up the pipe joints in the wet or underwater.

Please revise the specification to eliminate the requirement that a dewatering system be provided to draw groundwater level below the bottom of the pipe trench. There will be 7’ + of groundwater above the trench bottom at SMH C4 which will also likely be contaminated. The geotechnical conditions at the site would indicate that groundwater flows through the subgrade are highly likely. Attempting to remove this much water, which will likely percolate easily back into the trench once a dewatering effort is started, will be very costly and developing a system to maintain the trench in the dry may not even be possible to accomplish in the end.

A90. Although pipe and joints may be installed in the wet or underwater, dewatering is still expected to be required for the installation of gravity sewer lines. Grading, setting pipe inverts, placement of bedding material, and other steps necessary for gravity sewer line installation are expected to require the trench to be dewatered.

Q91. Please consider providing more time to bid the subject project. The additional time required for distributing project documents in compliance with DFARS 252.204-702 to interested subcontractors and suppliers, especially the small business community, is a challenge. This challenge will require additional time to provide our subs and suppliers reasonable time for review and pricing prior to the bid date.

A91. See Amendment No. 0002.

Q92. This is in regards to P-210, P-220, P-203, and P-240. Do you have the motor FLA? Are these existing and remaining? If so, any pictures available? Concerned that these are possibly slow speed motors and the FLA would exceed the standard 400HP VFD ratings. It’s paramount that we obtain the FLA.
