Please reissue drawing in an amendment to clarify if this scope of work is being removed from this project.

ANSWER: The entire project area including the staging area and access road will be cleared and grubbed by the J-001B contractor. Depending upon the timing of this activity, the timing of the start of the J-017-II contractor’s work, and the condition of the ground surface, certain areas may need to be cleared and grubbed again by the J-017-II Contractor. For the access road, Bidders shall follow the requirements of Section 01 14 00, Subsection 1.4.1.2. and make their own determination on how they will comply with these requirements.

97. CD101-CD112. The CD drawings show areas where clearing and grubbing is required, however based on the aerial photo provide in notice 1 (site visit cancelled), it appears that large portions, if not all areas have been cleared by the J-001B contractor. Please provide extents of clearing and grubbing operations that will be required this project for fair bidding purposes.

ANSWER: Revised drawings to reflect area to be cleared and grubbed by J001B. See Amendment 006.

98. 01 57 19.03. The CD drawing set shows areas where clearing and grubbing is required, however based on the aerial photo provided in notice 1 (site visit cancelled), and the presence of Road 3 and Road 1, it appears that large portions, if not all areas have been cleared by the J- 001B contractor.

99. 01 57 19.03. The Main Gate site limits will not allow access to the proposed temporary access road while MEC operations are being conducted due to the 450’ Exclusion Zone requirements. Will work restrictions be placed on the contractor, such as limited work hours, when the temporary access area falls within the MEC Exclusion Zone.

ANSWER: Response deferred.

100. 01 14 00.1.3.d. 01 14 00.1.3.d states that the Mail Gate Entry Control point will be available on Dec 30, 2020. Section 1.4.1.2 of the same specification states that the temporary access control point and bypass roads must be open within 60 calendar days after NTP. If this project bids on May 1 as currently indicated, NTP would be issued by that latest in November 2020. At this point in time the area would not be ready for the contractor to construct the temporary access road. 60 days is already a very narrow window for this construction, and it would be reduced further if the contractor did not have access to the area when the NTP was issued. Please consider increasing the number of days required to construction the temporary access to 90 days, increasing the award period from 180 days to 210 days, or moving the bid date by one month.

ANSWER: Section 1.4.1.2 does not state that the bypass road must be open within 60 calendar days after NTP. The opening paragraph of this section is only referring to the connection of Road 3 to Route 3 and Road 1 to Route 3A to open the gates to through traffic.

The second paragraph requires that these must be provided with temporary access control point for ID checks. The intent is to allow other construction contractors, workers, and government personnel to access their sites through the main and commercial gate access roads. The construction and timing of the bypass road(s) are based upon the Contractor’s means and methods and should be detailed in the Temporary Access Control Point & Bypass Road Plan required in the last sentence of the second paragraph of this section.

101. 01.14.00.1.4.1.2. Specification section 01 14 00.1.4.1.2 states that the Main Gate temporary access point will be required to be opened within 60 days of NTP. Based on passed experience MEC clearance plans take approximately 5 months for approval. Also considering, safety plans, submittals and other deliverables must be submitted and approved prior to construction taking place on site, it does not seem realistic to assume a contractor would be able to construct the temporary access within 60 days from NTP. Please consider revising this requirement or provide a solution to expedite submittal and approval requirements.

ANSWER: Response deferred.

102. Please confirm that bidders are required to provide the competent staff to check DBIDS at the temporary guard booths for the duration of this project.

131. E-608 shows that there is a Main Control Panel at the Gatehouse and the Overwatch Tower. Spec Section 2.5.2 Main Control Panel references only 1 Main Control Panel per ACP.

Typically, there can only be one main control panel. It is generally in the gatehouse and the overwatch only has a remote “slave” desktop console that consists of an audible alarm, Audible Silence Button, A Wrong Way Light, and an EFO mushroom button. An additional EFO push button is on the exterior of the overwatch structure. This wouldn’t be a Main Control Panel as shown on E-608 for the overwatch tower.

134. 34 71 13.19 – Active Vehicle Barrier specification, section Part 2 – Product, 2.1 – Retractable Barriers states that when in the raised position, the total retractable barrier heights shall be no less than 38 inches above the roadway surface and shall be 144 inches (12 ft) wide.

Layout drawing CS404 shows the active vehicle wedge barriers for both the Main and Commercial Gates. Scaling and measuring the wedge barrier widths on CS404, the main gate wedges are 15’ wide and the commercial gate wedges are 14’ and 11’ wide. Should the wedge barrier widths be per the spec of 144”(12ft) or per the CS404 drawing?

ANSWER: Response deferred.

135. What is the minimum required gap between the active vehicle wedge barriers and the passive vehicle barrier or concrete median barrier?

ANSWER: Response deferred.

136. 34 71 13.19 – Active Vehicle Barrier specification, section 2.6.1.1.3-Speed Loops states that Two inductive loops whose output is used to signal the barrier controller of a vehicle approaching at a speed greater than the posted speed (25 mph or less (recommended)). The speed loops shall cause the barrier control panel to annunciate a warning sound alerting the guard to make a decision as to whether the barrier should be raised or not. The drawings do not show or call out “speed loops” for over speed vehicle detection. Please confirm if speed loops are required for both the main and commercial ACP gates?

ANSWER: Response deferred.

137. 34 71 13.19 – Active Vehicle Barrier specification, section 2.6.1.1.4- Wrong Way Loops states that Two inductive loops whose output is used to signal the barrier control panel to annunciate a warning sound if a vehicle is attempting to enter the facility through the exit lane.

The warning sound will alert the guard to make a decision as to whether the barrier should be raised or not. The drawings do not show or call out “Wrong Way Loops” for wrong way vehicle detection. Please confirm if wrong way loops are required for both the main and commercial ACP gates?

ANSWER: Response deferred.

138. 34 71 13.19 – Active Vehicle Barrier specification, section 2.4.2 – AVBCS Processor states that the AVBCS processor shall be a Traffic Controller Unit (TCU) with a real time operating system and mappable inputs and outputs (I/O). The latest version of UFGS Standard Specification Section 34 71 13.19 (2/20) states that an AVBCS processor will be a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and NOT a TCU. TCU’s are only used when the traffic signals for the Active Vehicle Barriers are co-located at a roadway intersection. Please verify that that AVBCS processor will be a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and NOT a TCU?
