QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

SOLICITATION P16PS01390, AMENDMENT 0003

1. What is the material type to be used by CLIN 15?

Use Briar Hill Sandstone as the basis for design.

2. What is the size to be used for CLIN 16? Per stone? Per CF? As is, it is very vague.

Extents of stamped and color finish are shown on S314. Stamp and color finish is to be located between the lock walls. M&A

3. Sheet 9 of 53 shows a 23” caliper tree to remain in the northeast corner of the staging area. Removal of the ex-waterline and stone monument as well as installation of the 1” waterline with 2” steel sleeve, 6” PVC storm line and brick walk could cause enough damage to severely impact the tree. Can this tree be removed as well?

It is the intent of NPS to save this tree. Contractor shall protect the existing tree in accordance with specification Section 311000 – Site Clearing, Section 3.1

PROTECTION AND RESTORATION.

4. Section 1 shown on sheet S302 shows the 10” Concrete Foundation Mat. Is this the area that receives the stamped and colored concrete finish? Please detail all locations this treatment is required.

Top of footing elevation is approximately 28.5’ based on 2015 survey by Adtek Engineers. M&A.

5. Section 061900 – Timber Miter Gates. 1.1 A - Please confirm last sentence is correct.

The Last sentence is correct. M&A

6. Lock 3, Sheet S310, Section 3 – Please provide bottom of footing elevations and offset dimensions from the existing concrete curb for the Cast in Place Retaining wall.

Please provide a proposal based on the information already provided.

7. Lock 3, Sheet C104 – Please confirm sediment and existing vegetation located in the “Construction Staging & Storage” area is to be removed. Please indicate which pay item this is to be priced under.

The existing vegetation/grass area proposed for construction staging and storage does not require the removal of the grass; however, the contractor is required to restore the staging area back to its original condition. During construction, the typical section located on sheet C301 can be placed on the existing grass area. Staging and storage within Level 3 will require only the HDPE liner on top of the sediment. The sediment is not required to be removed; however, the contractor may remove material at his/her discretion to optimize construction operations. The level 3 area will require post-construction restoration to the satisfaction of the Contracting Officer.

8. Lock 3, Sheet C106 – Please confirm tree trimming is allowed along the construction access road located along the west side of the Construction staging area.

Trimming of overhanging trees is allowed but shall be coordinated with NPS and will be conducted in such a manner to minimize trimming and to not damage the overall health of the tree per Section 311000 – Site Clearing, Section 3.1 PROTECTION AND

RESTORATION.

9. Lock 3, Sheet C107 & C110 – Please consider removing and replacing the brick pavers located at the southeast corner of the plaza in the area where the 3 each 12” trees and bench are being removed.

The brick pavers on the south side shall be removed and replaced up to the Limits of Disturbance indicated.

10. Lock 3, sheet C114 – Please confirm 6” Solid PVC Pipe can be installed as shown with the proposed Cast in Place retaining wall located adjacent to the lower lock gate.

The 6” solid PVC Pipe will go underneath the foundation of the retaining wall. A steel sleeve is required to distribute any bearing pressure from the wall off of the PVC in this location.

11. Lock 3, Sheet C301 – Construction Access Road and Staging Area Typical Section. Please clarify where the HDPE Geomembrane is to be used.

The HDPE Geomembrane is to be provided underneath the entire footprint of the Construction Access Road and Staging Area within the existing grass area. The HDPE Geomembrane is required to be placed on the sediment within the Level 3 staging and storage area, but without the addition of gravel base and surface.

12. If Option A is awarded, will additional access (Limit of Disturbance) be provided so equipment will be able to get closer to the upstream gate?

Access should be provided on the south side of Lock 4 to the west from the proposed Staging and Storage area indicated on Civil Plan sheet C101 of Lock 4.

13. S302-sheet 35, detail 4-Please provide amount of bedrock that needs to be removed to place concrete mat for estimate purposes. (#24 from RFI Log) Approximately 2 cubic yards.

14. C403-sheet 23 - Please provide layout of the perforated PVC pipe included in the open joint pavement detail. We assume this perforated PVC pipe is different than the PVC underdrain shown on sheet 21. (#25 from RFI Log) The detail on C403 is a typical detail section. The pipe on this detail is the same as the PVC underdrains indicated on plan and profiles on C114-C116. Contractor should install pipes at location and elevation indicated on the plan and profile sheets, with the assistance of the typical detail and installation notes indicated on sheet C403.

15. S103 and S301 - Drawing S103 calls for concrete gutter, TYP. 4 corners under bridge. Drawing S301 calls for removal and replacement of existing 8" concrete SOG under bridge (#26 from RFI Log)

Remove the slab on grade per 1/S301. Place 6” crushed stone per detail 1/S311. Note requiring replacement of 8” SOG will be removed from 1/S301.

16. Spec 01 31 00 – 7 - RE: Environmental Coordination. What scope is there that would require the Contractor develop an Indoor Air Quality Management Plan?

(#32 from RFI Log) An Indoor Air Quality Management Plan is not required.

17. Spec 01 31 00 – 9 - Who pays the fees to the issuing authorities for the Permits cited under paragraph B? (#33 from RFI Log) Permit fee related to permits being provided by the government as stated in 01 31 00 1.9 B are paid by the government.

18. Spec 01 50 00 -2-Other than providing 2 phone lines, who is responsible for any renovation and improvements to the existing National Park Service Visitor center for use as a contracting Officers office? (#34 from RFI Log) No renovation of the existing facility is required.

19. Spec 01 50 00 – 3-Who pays the useage fees for the two Contracting Officers phones? (#35 from RFI Log) This is a typographical error. Instead of “Contracting Officer”, this section of the specification shall read “Contractor”. The contractor is also accordingly responsible for any fees associated with these two lines. If there is sufficient mobile phone coverage in the area and the contractor deems land lines unnecessary, this requirement may be waived.

20. Ref: GeoCapitol Engr Environmental Services Report dtd 5/17/2016 & GeoCapitol Engr Sediment and Canal Surface Water Sampling Results dtd 3/16/2016. If the discharge from the in-canal sump pits is pumped downstream of the work area and back into the canal, does the flow need to be treated with a carbon filtration system? The referenced contract documents seem to differ on the need for a carbon filtration system. (#36 from RFI Log) Water collected from the in-canal sump pits shall be disposed of in accordance with the discharge requirements of the permit received by the GC. Details are in the CSMP.

21. In the Materials specification, item G reads as follows: ‘G. Timber furnished by the Contractor shall be of sound, square edge grade, rough, and unseasoned, double end trimmed unless otherwise shown. Six inch and thicker timbers shall have three edges free from wane. The other edge may have wane not to exceed two inches. All timbers as cut and shaped shall be free from wane, rot, shakes, cracks, and checks, and splits. Timbers that have splits, checks, or shakes shall be replaced at no cost to the government.’

Checking is a natural part of the curing and drying process for large section timbers and is generally acceptable in any heavy timber construction work. It would be practically impossible to obtain timbers of the required sizes for this job which are perfectly free of checks, and would be completely impossible to ensure that no checks develop during the cutting and joinery process as the existing stresses within the timbers are altered and released by cutting wood fibers and by changes in humidity as the timbers are stored and moved across various locations.

What standard will NPS use to determine what amount (size, length, depth, quantity?) of checking makes a timber unacceptable for use and, once fabricated and assembled, what standard of required replacement would be applied as the timbers continue to age and change after assembly and installation?

In other words:

a) What size and quantity of checking would require the Contractor to reject a timber for use in construction? And,

b) What size and/or quantity of checking which propagates after assembly and/or installation would prompt the NPS to require the Contractor to perform the extremely costly task of removing and replacing that timber?

The referenced specification section will be revised as follows:

G. Timber furnished by the Contractor shall be of sound, square edge grade, rough, and unseasoned, double end trimmed unless otherwise shown. Six inch and thicker timbers shall have three edges free from wane. The other edge may have wane not to exceed two inches. All timbers as cut and shaped shall be free from wane, rot, shakes, cracks, and checks, and splits that exceed SPIB limits. Timbers that have excessive splits, checks, or shakes shall be replaced at no cost to the government..

22. Addendum 3 included the Contaminated Soil Management Plan generated by GeoCapitol Engineering LLC which requires the installation of dewatering wells to be installed to lower the existing ground water table below the limits of excavation prior to excavating any material. This plan also requires the GC to obtain a DCRA and/or DC Water Permit to install the wells. Must the successful bidder follow this plan or will other soil management plans be considered? (email 8/1/8/16) Alternate plan can be proposed but contractor is responsible for obtaining approval of the plan from the DOEE and authority having jurisdiction.

23. Is the water that is collected at the 2 sump pit locations shown in the erosion control plans to be tested for contamination prior to discharge? (email 8/1/8/16) Water collected from the in-canal sump pits shall be disposed of in accordance with the ischarge requirements of the permit received by the GC. Details are in the CSMP.
