These concentrations are below the applicable Washington State Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA) Method A Soil Cleanup Level of 2,000 mg/kg, but the soil still requires special handling and shall be disposed of at a facility that accepts petroleum contaminated waste.”

A4: For site stone milling, it is acceptable to complete the work in the following locations only if it can be demonstrated that, with sound barriers or equipment designed to muffle, noise will not exceed 75 decibels at a 30 feet distance and impacts of dust can be contained.

A5: Excess stone not reinstalled on the new foundation, roughly estimated at 460 tons, goes to Kautz Creek for NPS Park use.

Q6. Previous phases of work at Paradise Inn allowed camping within the Park at Longmire campground. Is this arrangement going to be possible for this phase?

A6. See revised specification it Item 2 above.

Q7. (Paraphrased) A question has been received that states the RFP requires that we must include a Past Project Questionnaire form for each project within the proposal.

A7. The RFP does not require a past performance questionnaire to be provided for each project presented in response to Factor 1. However, offerors demonstrating a higher level of successful past performance in the evaluated areas will be more favorably rated. Please use your best business judgment regarding submission of past performance, taking into consideration that the Government will have access to and collect information from projects reported in the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System and the Past Performance Information Retrieval System.

Q8. What is the current wood species of the existing windows and do you want us to match that species for the replacements?

A8. For bidding purposes the contractors may assume "old growth pine", however, during the work, the contractor will be required to confirm the species in the field to match existing.

Q9. (Regarding windows and doors) Also what type of grille division is required, TDL or SDL?, what is the grille width?

A9. See A7.30, General Note 2 for grill information.

Q10. I have question regarding the new Type C windows. It is noted to include shutters, however there are no specifics on the shutters for these windows. What is the method of attachment? These are Double hung windows. The type H windows which are casements do have shutter details.

A10. Removable shutter is designed for installation in fall to protect windows from winter snow and removable at operating season. Shutter to hang from hooks and temporarily fastened at sill. Shutters to be stored during regular operating season when the inn is open. Hooks at head to be installed as indicated in detail 5/A6.03.

Q11. Section M – Evaluation Factor for Award. Paragraph C.1 Factor 1, Element 1 and Element 2. Can the employment of a subcontractor with experience of 5 projects within the past 10 years demonstrate sufficient experience to qualify the prime? If acceptable, can the subcontractor be an engineering firm?\

A11. Factor 1 is evaluated on the extent of the TEAM’s successful completion of projects similar to that proposed for this project. Please use your best business judgement regarding how this applies to your team and for your response.

Q12. Section M – Evaluation Factor for Award. Paragraph C.1 Factor 1. Do each of the 5 projects require all 5 elements in order for the previous experience to be favorable?

A12. It is not required nor expected that each project submitted in response to Factor 1 would include all five elements. Please use your best business judgement regarding what projects to present to demonstrate your experience.

Q13. Section M – Evaluation Factor for Award. Paragraph C.1 Factor 1. What is the level of completion required in order for the project to be acceptable?

A13. There is no required level of project completion stated. Please use your best business judgement regarding what projects to present to demonstrate your experience.

Q14. Please clarify if the contractor is to reimburse NPS for Water usage per 01 31 00

1.9 C or if it (up to 200 gal/day) is provided free of charge per 01 15 00 1.3.

A14. Contractor may use up to 200 gal/day at the construction site – free of charge, for use as indicated in 01 50 00, 1.3,B. Additional water needs are available free of charge from Tahoma Woods, or Nisqually under the following conditions:

a. Water is available during the first construction season, up to November 30, 2017 at Tahoma Woods only. After November 30, 2017, water is available at Tahoma Woods or Nisqually through the remainder of the contract.

Q16. Please provide fees and materials required to be paid by contractor per 01 31 00 1.9 E, 2 and 3.

A16. There are no permit fees associated with NPS permits, and we believe the MS4 permit applies to municipal stormwater systems – which is not applicable.

There may be a fee associated with the telephone utility and suggest the contractor contact them directly as their pricing structures vary.

Q17. Specification 06 10 00 2.2 A 1 prohibits arsenic and chromium wood treatment. 07 46 24 2.1 A requires chromium and arsenic. Please confirm we are to follow both specification requirements independently and respectively, for these products.

A17. Follow specification requirements independently for these applications.

Q18. Page C1.01 Excavation and Backfill, note 2: Contracting Officer shall be notified 48 hours prior to any fill, backfill, or compaction operations.

Will a notification over a certain duration of time be adequate (i.e. Backfill operation will be performed during the next X number of days)?

A18. The intent is to notify the Contracting Officer sufficiently in advance of earthmoving operations, a weather delay would warrant additional communication to update the Contracting Officer of the changing situation.

Q19. Page C1.01 Erosion Control, note 2; Page C1.03 TESC note 10: If a construction area is unworked for more than 7 days during the dry season or 2 days during the wet season, it shall be covered with certified weed-free mulch.
