Solicitation R16PS01133 Amendment 0001

Fire Break Clearing and Fencing Fort Cobb Reservoir, Washita Basin Project, Oklahoma

On June 23, 2016 a pre-bid site visit was held at Fort Cobb Reservoir, Oklahoma. Principle components of work include: (1) Surveying; (2) Demolition of existing fencing; (3) Mechanically clearing 20-foot wide firebreak; (4) Hand clearing 5-foot for fencing where mechanical clearing is not authorized; (5) Constructing new 5-strand barbed wire fence and gates; (6) Constructing steel corner posts and H-braces;

(7) Constructing steel post and cable fencing.

Below are the names of the contractors that attended the site visit: (Note: Company names are listed in no particular order.)

At the conclusion of the site visit questions were submitted. Based on the questions the Government has amended the specifications (see changes). Questions with the corresponding answers are as follows:

Note: The following contractor questions were not captured verbatim, but are intended to capture the intent of the questions and discussions which occurred during the pre-bid site visit.

Will Reclamation provide landowner contact information for contractor to coordinate site access?

Reclamation will not provide landowner contact information as this is not required to complete the specified work. Section 01 14 12 – Work Restrictions, has been amended to reflect that all work performed under this contract is accessible via public roads or Federal lands.

Is work on weekends allowed?

Work hours are defined in Section 01 14 12 – Work Restrictions, as Monday through Friday, 7 am to 7

pm. The process for requesting additional work hours or work days is also outlined in this section.

Will there be any designated contractor staging areas?

Section 01 31 19 – Project Management and Coordination, has been amended to include provisions for a staging area.

PEverson Typewritten Text

Washita Basin Project, Oklahoma R16PS01133 Amendment 0001.

Will the Contractor need to coordinate with any overhead utilities?

Section 01 56 15 – Protection of Existing Utilities had been amended to include a note about the potential for overhead utilities to be present. The contractor is responsible for protection of overhead utilities.

Does the Government want all of the removed fencing t-posts regardless of their condition?

Section 01 56 20 – Demolition of Existing Fencing, has been amended to clarify Part 3.01-B to take reasonable care to prevent damage to existing fencing t-posts during removal and that all re-useable fencing t-posts shall remain the property of the United States.

Can the contractor coordinate with private land owners to move cattle instead of constructing temporary fencing?

Section 01 56 20 – Demolition of Existing Fencing, has been amended to clarify Part 3.02-A to provide temporary fence protection for adjacent lands as required to prevent livestock from straying from adjacent lands.

Which areas require survey work?

Survey requirements are defined in Section 01 71 20 – Surveying.

GPS survey work could be problematic under tree canopy.

Section 01 71 20 – Surveying, does not specify a survey method. Surveyor is responsible to provide accurate survey.

Will contractor be required to re-establish permanent land boundary benchmarks when they are missing or destroyed?

No. There are no requirements for this work included in Section 01 71 20 – Surveying.

Where do contractor’s costs for brush-hogging get captured?

Section 31 11 00 – Clearing, has been amended to include mowing or brush-hogging in Part 1.01-B-1 – Payment.

Do dead limbs piled in the clearing zone need to be removed?

Yes. This is covered under the definition of vegetation in Section 31 11 00 – Clearing, Part 1.02 – Definitions.

Will the park provide a biologist for conducting presence and absence surveys for nesting birds?

Section 31 11 00 – Clearing, Part 3.01-A has been amended to reflect that during the nesting season, the contractor’s biologist shall conduct the presence and absence surveys for nesting birds. Submittals and Qualifications for the biologist were also added to this section and to Section 01 33 00 – Submittals.

Requirements for a biological monitor were added to Part 1.01-B – Payment.

What are the vertical clearing requirements along the firebreaks?

Section 31 11 00 – Clearing, has been amended to clarify Part 3.01-C-1-d and Part 3.01-C-2-f to remove overhanging tree branches to a height of 10-feet by pruning.

What is the height requirement for brush-hogging?

Section 31 11 00 – Clearing, Part 3.01-C-1-h now includes a mowing or brush-hogging requirement of 6-inches or less.

Washita Basin Project, Oklahoma R16PS01133 Amendment 0001.

What happens if equipment creates ruts?

Section 31 11 00 – Clearing, Part 3.01-C-1-i has been amended to require that the cleared area finished surface shall be smooth and free of ruts and shall be suitable for future brush-hog maintenance by others.

Are there any trees located in the mechanical clearing areas which will not be removed?

Section 31 11 00 – Clearing, Part 3.01-C-1-j has been amended to require the contractor to coordinate and get approval from the COR prior to commencing mechanical clearing work. Preserve and protect trees designated by the COR.

Can mechanical methods be used for hand clearing requirements, and should the stumps be cut off flush with the ground?

Section 31 11 00 – Clearing, has been amended to include the following clarifying notes in Part 3.01-C-2:

-Hand clearing shall be performed using hand operated tools.

-Use of a chain saw is allowed.

-Cut off stumps flush with ground.

How stringent is the 4-inch maximum chip size requirement for disposal of vegetative material?

Section 31 11 00 – Clearing, has been amended to clarify Part 3.02-A-2 regarding the government’s intent for disposal of cleared material.

The contractors pointed out that we are requiring an “ironworker, structural” wage rate for the laborers who install barbed wire fence. This is an unreasonable requirement and should be classified as “common or general laborer”.

The Contracting Officer (CO) has changed the Department of Labor, Davis Bacon Wage Determination for General Decision Number: OK20150036; from Iron Worker, Structural to Laborer – Common or General. This applies to hand clearing and fence erection. It does not apply equipment operator or other labor categories.
