119. The current bid due date is set at 14th May 2025. With all of the recent RFPs and Guam MACC Phase 2 bids, it is a very big strain on the estimating and subcontracting community to meet this deadline, especially considering the specialist requirements of this bid. In order to offer the Government the lowest cost proposal, we respectfully request a four (4)-week extension to the bid date.

ANSWER: The proposal due date will be extended in a forthcoming amendment.

162. DIV 25; In the absence of UFGS 25 08 11.00 20 Risk Management Framework for Facility Related Control Systems specification, requesting confirmation if cybersecurity contractor is responsible for RMF and eMASS as outlined in DoDI 8510.01, or if the government will be responsible for this scope.

ANSWER: The goal of the UFGS 25 05 11 is not to achieve an ATO, it is to fundamentally incorporate cybersecurity into construction, in support of the RMF process outlined in the DODI

8510.01. The absence of the 25 08 11.00 20 indicates that administering eMASS and going through the complete RMF process is a separate effort that the government will have to pursue if required.

163. The specified 50,000 Gal fuel tanks present multiple and expensive logistical shipping challenges. A tank of this dimensions is too large and too heavy to be shipped to Guam. There are weight limitations to unload a tank of this magnitude at the Port of Guam. Also, to transport the tanks from the Port of Guam to the actual jobsite will present multiple challenges significantly increasing the cost. Special permits for transportation of cargo this size within Guam will cause unnecessary delays to the project. A 12,000 gal tank has the weight and dimensions that can be accommodated as regular cargo for ocean shipping and transport within Guam. 12,000 gal tanks and/or combination of them have been successfully specified and installed in recent similar projects in Guam. Please consider replacing the 50,000 gal fuel tanks for a combination of 12,000 gal fuel tanks that can provide the same amount of fuel storage at a fraction of the price.

ANSWER: It has been confirmed with the freight forwarding company and the basis of design tank manufacturer that it is possible to ship 50000gal tanks through the Port of Guam.

Additionally, a larger quantity of smaller tanks will not fit within the existing site constraints. As such, the 50,000gal tank design stands as-is.

164. SF1442; The Price Proposal Schedule CLIN 0001AD is based on a Lump Sum. Please consider changing this CLIN to a unit price ($/CY) based on 6,000 CY to match CLIN 0001AC.

Otherwise, bidders would have to assume that the entire volume of dirt under footings, SOG, pavements, and utility beddings is unsatisfactory unnecessarily increasing the cost to the Government.

ANSWER: See response to Q120.

165. SF1442; CLIN 0002AB has a 5% “Handling and Administrative Rate” for the Contractor to handle the FFE scope of work. Five percent is not enough to cover the scope and only covers the Guam Gross Receipts Tax. Please advise what CLIN should the bidders use to include the complete handling and administration such as staffing (bidding process, contracting, submittals, tracking materials, schedule updates, etc.), general conditions, general requirements, bonds and insurance, contingency, profit, etc.

C. Please provide the type of controls (including compatibility requirements and functions) required.

ANSWER: A. If a circuit outage is required to connect the new JC3 (P614) building to P81 and/or P95, the Contractor should coordinate with the AAFB to determine how existing switches can be employed to isolate manholes MH-166 and MH 95-12 while minimize outages to existing buildings and base facilities. Existing base circuit maps and one-line diagrams can support plans for switching circuits on/off.

For MH 166:

There are two circuits that currently exist in this manhole. (P68 and P81). It is estimated that the following buildings will require some generation in order to connect the new JC3 (P614) building o Building 23008 fed from SW166 fed by T23008 (300KVA) o Building 23028 fed from SW166 fed by T23028 (750KVA) o Building 23010 fed from SW166 fed by T23010 (225KVA)

Note 1: Contractor to verify the number of circuits in manhole.

Note 2: Contractor may be able to use existing, on-site generation for one or more of these buildings. GOV will need to coordinate this.

For MH 95-12:

There is one circuit that currently exists in this manhole. (P95) It is estimated that no building or other base facilities will require temporary generation if this manhole is isolated via switching.

Note 1: Contractor to verify the number of circuits in manhole.

B. Government to provide hours of operations for building and base facilities that require temporary generation.

C. Government to provide a list of buildings that can provide on-site generation if disconnected from the AAFB grid.

The last sentence of the second paragraph states: “Contractor assumes the risk that the number of anomalies encountered at the project site may differ from historic averages.” Please consider removing this sentence from the RFP. The Government should assume this risk as the Government has all the pertinent information and the Contractor does not. If Contractor shall assume this risk, a sizeable contingency will be added to the cost of the project in order to deter the risk. This would not be the best use of taxpayers monies.

173. 02 61 13; Specification Section 02 61 13 EXCAVATION AND HANDLING OF CONTAMINATED MATERIAL/1.1.2 Payment states that compensation for excavation and onsite transportation of contaminated material will be paid as a unit cost. However, Form SF1442 Price Proposal Schedule doesn’t have a CLIN for such unit price.

ANSWER: PCB-contaminated soil exceeding 50 ppm does not meet 40 CFR 761.75 criteria and must be disposed of at an approved off-island TSCA facility. Contractor will coordinate transportation, manifesting, and disposal in full compliance with applicable federal regulations and contract specifications.

179. 02 81 00; Specification Section 02 81 00 TRANSPORTATION AND DISPOSAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Please provide the exact scope to be covered by this specification section (characterization of material, location, depth, quantity, area to be disposed off, etc.).

Also, please provide guidance as how the Contractor will be compensated (Unit price, Change Order, Unforeseen Condition, etc.)

ANSWER: Contractor shall characterize encountered materials and submit a Hazardous Waste Management Plan per paragraph 3.1. If unforeseen hazardous waste is found during earthwork, such as asbestos cement pipe, a Change Order may be submitted under the Differing Site Condition clause.

180. 02 82 00; Specification Section 02 82 00 ASBESTOS REMEDIATION/1.2.13 Disturbance mentions that there is a possibility to uncover utilities which may have potential asbestos containing materials.

Otherwise, please provide a complete Hazardous Material Investigation report for the project site.

ANSWER: In section 02 82 00, paragraph 1.2.13, disturbance of hidden or underground utilities that may contain asbestos is possible. Sampling of underground utility pipes or manhole interiors was not scoped in AE’s hazardous material surveys. Therefore, materials were assumed to be asbestos-containing material (ACM) and must be treated accordingly until proven otherwise through testing. If confirmed as ACM, the contractor may qualify for compensation under a Differing Site Condition via Change Order.

244. Specification Section 05 12 00.00/1.3 call out for an AISC Certified Steel erector to be utilized. There are no AISC Certified Steel erectors in Guam. It will be very costly to bring an AISC Certified Steel erector from off island to perform the steel erection. Since the Structural Steel in the project is not critical for the structural integrity, we respectfully recommend waving this requirement. There are other Quality Control measures (Special Inspections) that can be taken and implemented to ensure the quality of the welding and the installation in general.
