Dike Modifications, Altus Dam, W.C. Austin Project Solicitation No. R16PS01244
I - 25 (Revised) obligated to continue performance of this work beyond that point. The Government shall not be obligated in any event to reimburse the Contractor in excess of the amount allotted to the contract for this work notwithstanding any contrary provisions of the Termination for Convenience of the Government clause of this contract.
(d) Notwithstanding the date specified in paragraph (b) of this clause, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing at least sixty days prior to the date when, in the Contractor's best judgment, the work will reach the point at which the total amount payable by the Government, including any cost for termination for convenience, will approximate 75 percent of the total amount then allotted to the contract for performance of work identified in paragraph (b) of this clause.
The notification shall state (1) the estimated date when that point will be reached and (2) an estimate of additional funding, if any, needed to continue performance of the work up to the next scheduled date for allotment of funds identified in paragraph (b) of this clause, or to a mutually agreed upon substitute date. The notification shall also advise the Contracting Officer of the estimated amount of additional funds that will be required for the timely performance of work funded pursuant to this clause, for a subsequent period as may be specified in the allotment schedule in paragraph (b) of this clause, or otherwise agreed to by the parties. If after such notification additional funds are not allotted by the date identified in the Contractor's notification, or by an agreed substitute date, the Contracting Officer shall terminate any work for which additional funds have not been allotted, pursuant to the Termination for Convenience of the Government clause of this contract.
(e) When additional funds are allotted for continued performance of the work identified in paragraph (b) of this clause, the parties will agree as to the period of contract performance which will be covered by the funds. The provisions of paragraph
(c) through (e) of this clause will apply in like manner to the additional allotted funds and agreed substitute date, and the contract will be modified accordingly through revision of paragraph (b) of this clause. The Contracting Officer is the only person authorized to provide notice, communication, or other form of representation to increase or decrease the amount of funds allotted by the Government to this contract. . If agreement cannot be reached, the Contracting Officer will make a final decision as to the period of contract performance that will be covered by the funds. This decision may be appealed by the Contractor under the Disputes clause of the contract.
(f) If, solely by reason of failure of the Government to allot additional funds in amounts sufficient for timely performance of the work identified in paragraph (b) of this clause, the Contractor incurs additional costs or is delayed in the performance of the work under this contract and if additional funds are allotted, an equitable adjustment will be made in the price or prices (including appropriate target, billing, and ceiling prices where applicable) of work, or in the time of delivery, or both.
Failure to agree to any such equitable adjustment hereunder shall be a dispute concerning a question of fact within the meaning of the Disputes clause of this contract.
(g) The Government may at any time prior to termination allot additional funds for the performance of the work identified in paragraph (b) of this clause.
(h) The termination provisions of this clause do not limit the rights of the Government under the Default clause of this contract. The provisions of this clause are limited to the work and allotment of funds as set forth in paragraph (b) of this clause. This clause is inapplicable once the contract is fully funded except with regard to the rights or obligations of the parties concerning equitable adjustments negotiated under paragraphs (e) or (f) of this clause.
(i) Change orders shall not be considered authorization to exceed the amount allotted by the Government as specified in paragraph (b) of this clause unless the amount is increased by inclusion of a statement contained in the change order.
(j) Nothing in this clause affects the right of the Government to terminate this contract pursuant to the Termination for Convenience of the Government clause of this contract.

PROSPECTIVE CONTRACTOR QUESTIONS
ALTUS DAM – DIKES MODIFICATIONS
SOLICITATION R16PS01244
1. Reference WBR 1452.232-81, Paragraph (d)(3): The first sentence reads 50% of the total original contract…should that number not be 5% instead of 50%? Please confirm that 50% is the correct amount intended for this statement. If so, that conflicts with the following paragraph, which addresses a contract completion amount of 10%.
A: This will be corrected via subsequent amendment.
2. Reference B.1 Price Schedule, Item (c). This items states: “…no claim shall be made against Government for overruns or underruns.”Please advise if this is a Unit Price contract, or will the items be contracted as lump sum?
A: Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) with Lump Sum Quantities shall be paid at the lump sum price.
CLINs with Unit Price Quantities shall be paid at the unit price and in accordance with the Variation in Estimated Quantities Clause, Paragraph F.4.
3. Reference B.1 Price Schedule, Item (c). Will “non-lump sum” items be paid based on actual measured quantities?
A: Yes. However, for earthwork bid items quantities measurement will be based on the lines, grades and dimensions shown on the drawings.
4. Reference FAR Clause 52.211-18: Please confirm if the equitable adjustment referenced in this Clause is intended to be a Unit Price adjustment.
A: Yes.
5. Reference Section F – Deliveries or Performance, Paragraph F.2 Liquidated Damages. This paragraph states that $8,800 dollars will be assessed for each day of delay beyond December 15th, until water is running. Is that December 15, 2017? Is this based on a certain contract award date or notice to proceed date? Based on the previous paragraph allowing 500 calendar days for construction, and with a bid date of08/04/16 and assuming the Government takes 60 days to evaluate the proposals (as allowed by the Solicitation) followed by 10 days to make the award…500 calendar days would place the completion date at approximately March 1, 2018. Please explain this December 15th statement.
A. This was corrected by Amendment No. 0001. Liquidated Damages shall be applied for each day beyond the contract completion date with a contract duration of 800 calendar days.
6. Reference Division 53 – Geologic Investigation and Records, Section 53 00 05 Baseline Conditions, Item 7: Can backup information for these estimates be provided? When were the test conducted?
A: The seepage rates are based on actual monitoring data, see attached information.
7. Regarding the referenced project (Solicitation No. R16PS01244), please advise if the Bureau of Reclamation would allow Offerors to amend their Pricing Schedule, via email, prior to 2:00 pm (MDT) on August 4, 2016. If so, this will allow Offerors to send in the required SF 1442, Pricing Schedule and Bid Guarantee a day or so before August 4, 2016, which allows enough time for overnight delivery. Offerors obviously would have their Pricing Schedule already completed; however, if the Offeror chose to do so, they could amend their Pricing Schedule with “up-to-date” pricing. The Offeror would still 100% responsible for sending/confirming the Bureau of Reclamation received their amended Pricing Schedule before 2:00 pm (MDT) on August 4, 2016. If for some reason the Bureau of Reclamation did not received the amended Pricing Schedule (via email), before the 2:00 pm (MDT)deadline, the Bureau of Reclamation would still have the completed Pricing Schedule that was originally delivered the day before.
By allowing Offerors to amend their Pricing Schedule, via email and/or fax, benefits the Bureau of Reclamation because the Offeror usually receives their most competitive subcontractor bids only a few moments before bid time. Therefore, the Offeror is able to provide the Bureau of Reclamation their best price. Also, this alleviates the need for Offerors to spend unnecessary money on airline expenses, car rental expenses and possibly hotel expenses if an adequate flight time is not available. Please advise if this procedure is acceptable to the Bureau of Reclamation.
A: All information shall be submitted as specified by the time of bid opening.
8. Sheet 258-D-60006 indicates the overhead powerline as being south of the dike but the site visit revealed the line is actually cutting across the dike and will be in the work area. Will this line be relocated prior to construction?
A: Yes, the powerline will be relocated.
9. What is the expected daily number of trains to use the rail line?
A: Farmrail indicates about 2-3 trains per week during the summer harvest and about 2-3 trains per month during non-harvest periods.
10. Sheet 258-D-60088 Note 2/ Sheet 258-D-60089 Note 2 has conflicting bar grating dimensions. 1/8” thick bearing bar is called out on 60088 and ½” on 60089. Please advise.
A: The bearing bar size on both drawings shall be 1-1/2 inch x 1/8 inch. A revised drawing will be issued to clarify this issue.
11. Sheet 258-D-60087: Shall the pipe gates be galvanized or coated per section 09 96 20?
A: The vehicular barrier gates are not painted nor galvanized. Elevation view of gates on drawing 258-D- 60087 states "DO NOT GALVANIZE" and Note 8 on same drawing refers to Specifications Section 055000 for materials to be used for fabricating the gates. Specifications Section 323120, Paragraph 2.01C and D call out corrosion-resistant steels for both the pipes and hinge plates. These steels don't require a coating, as they "weather" naturally. Tabulation 1 in Specifications Section 099620 also does not list the vehicular barrier gates in the items to be painted. The only gate items to be galvanized are the bolts, nuts and washers, per Specifications Section 323120, Paragraph 2.02G.
12. Reference Section 01 52 10 Field Office – This Section describes the requirements for the Contractor to provide and maintain a 1,344 SF Government Field Office including utilities (water, sewer, gas, electricity, telephone, etc.), all weather parking area, and maintenance / janitorial services and other services for the exclusive use by Government personnel. The location for the field office is covered in trees and brush, is not close to utilities or services of any kind, and the road into the area is very low, subject to flooding and will have to be improved to be usable. Is there any other location that could be used for contractor staging and the Government’s office?
A: If the contractor wants to use an area other than the one indicated on the drawings, the contractor must submit the new site to the Government for approval.
13. Reference Section 01 52 10 Field Office – This Section required the contractor to provide a 1,344 SF field office, space for a 600 SF lab trailer and all weather parking and access drives for 10 vehicles…how much electrical power will be required for these Government’s facilities? Will it be necessary to provide electrical power to both the office and the lab trailer 24 hrs./day…7 days per week?
A: Power needs will be one 100 amp service for the lab trailer and one 100 amp service for the office trailer.
Yes, power service will have to be provided to both trailers 24 hrs/day, 7days/week.
14. Reference Section 01 52 10 Field Office – Does the water (350 gallons per day) provided to the Government’s field office and lab trailer have to be potable water? Can we supply bottled water for drinking, but provide non-potable water for all other usages?
A: Please refer to Specifications Section 015210, Paragraph 2.02 E. and F.
15. Reference Section 01 52 10 Field Office – To supply the water needs, is it permissible to drill a well?
A: No.
16. Reference Section 01 52 10 Field Office – Will the Government’s personnel occupy these facilities on a full time basis? For the duration of the contract time, or only until the Contractor completes all the work and is ready to demobilize?
A: Yes, the Government will occupy the field office on a full-time basis until the contractor completes all field work.
17. Reference Section 01 52 10 Field Office - If the construction work is completed ahead of schedule and the contractor is ready to demobilize…will the Government personnel also demobilize at the same time? The purpose of this question is to allow the bidders to determine the cost of providing these facilities and services…all of which is related to time spent on the project site.
A: Yes, when the field work is complete the Government personnel will leave the project site.
18. Reference Section 01 52 10 Field Office – If the contractor presents a schedule with a duration shorter than the time stated in RFP, will the Government approve the schedule and work cooperatively with the contractor to help meet the schedule?
A: The Government is unclear as to the intent of this question.
19. Reference Section F – Deliveries or Performance, Para F.1 – This paragraph states the completion of the work is to occur not later than 500 calendar days following NTP. However, at the site visit, it was stated that an Amendment would be forthcoming which will extend the completion time to 800 Calendar Days. Adding that many additional days suggests that the Government is expecting a long, deliberately slow project that will increase the costs to the contractor by a considerable amount. We recommend the time of completion not be increased. Instead, if the lake water levels do not reach a level low enough to allow certain items of work to be performed, the Government could easily extend the contract date due to that circumstance.
A: The contract duration is based on the level of effort, production rates, and durations required to perform the work by an average sized contractor. This conveniently allows two irrigation seasons which the Auxiliary Dike could be constructed and is a side benefit to the contact duration.
20. Reference Section F – Deliveries or Performance, Para F.1 and Para F.2 – If the contractor submits a shorter duration schedule, and the Government approves the shorter duration schedule, will the Liquidated Damages be applicable to the contractor’s shorter duration schedule, or will the Liquidated Damages only be applicable if the contractor fails to complete the project in 500 (or 800) Calendar Days as indicated in the Solicitation?
A: Liquidated damages apply to those days beyond the actual contract completion date and not the proposed schedule.
21. Reference Section I Contract Clauses, Para I.11 Payment Under Fixed-Price Construction, Para I.12 Prompt Payment, and Para I.29 Payment for Technical Data. These Paragraphs appear to be in conflict. Paragraphs I.11 and I.29 indicate a 10% retainage will be withheld. However, Paragraph I.12 Prompt Payment does not allow the Government to withhold an amount of retainage, if the contractor is on-schedule and all other contractual obligations are being met. Please confirm that the provisions of the Prompt Payment Act will be followed.
A: The Prompt Payment Clause allows the Government to retain 10% when a contractor fails to make adequate progress. The Bureau of Reclamation has authority to withhold additional retainage to ensure we receive technical data once on-site work is complete. For this project, the Government determined that technical data (i.e., as-built drawings, operation and maintenance manuals, etc) was valued at approximately 10% of the contract value. The maximum amount the contractor will be paid is 90 percent. When the technical data is submitted and approved, the contractor will be paid the final 10 percent.
22. Reference Section L – Instructions, Conditions, and Notices to Offerors, Para L.22 – Limiting the value allowed for Mobilization Cost to 5% is not a fair and reasonable percentage for a project of this type and scope of work. Government and contractor’s field offices and office set up; access road development; temporary utilities and services; mobilization of excavating equipment, hauling equipment and supporting equipment; mobilization of staff;
bonds and insurance; long duration of the contract; and many other general conditions costs will far exceed a 5% cap for mobilization…basically, leaving the contractor to finance these costs until the end of the project. Please consider a more reasonable cap of 15% for mobilization costs.
A: The percentages shall remain as specified.
23. Reference Section 01 14 12 – Work Restrictions - Work on the Auxiliary Dike can only be performed when the water level is below 1545 elevation. At the Site Visit, a question was asked regarding the Government’s plan if the water elevation does not reach or drop below 1545 during the construction contract period. Please expand on what steps the Government will take to reach that lake level, in the event the lake does not reach 1545 or below through normal water usage and natural occurrences. Will the Government lower the lake to allow the Contractor to perform the work on the Auxiliary Dike? Assuming the Contractor proposes a shorter schedule duration than 500 (or 800) Calendar Days, and the Government accepts and approves that schedule…but the lake does not drop to 1545 or below during that scheduled time, what action or steps will the Government take to allow the Contractor to meet the approved schedule.
A: The construction duration was set at 800 calendar days, in part to allow for at least 2 water year cycles (irrigation seasons) for the reservoir to drop below elevation 1545 under normal operating conditions. The Contractor will be allowed the full 800 calendar days for completion of the work. The Contractor will not be compensated for any costs related to demobilizing/remobilizing during that time period. Reclamation will determine an appropriate course of action based on actual conditions if the reservoir does not drop below elevation 1545 during the 800 day construction period.
24. Section 01 35 30 Qualifications for Certified Industrial Hygienist – Our understanding is that the Certified Industrial Hygienist is to be an individual on-site for the duration of the project with no other responsibilities and is incidental to all areas of work. Is this an accurate statement?
A: Reference Specifications Section 013530, Paragraph 1.05.C. for the correct duration.
25. Section 01 46 20 Testing Agency – Can a bid line item be created for the Quality Control/Testing instead of making it incidental to the applicable work items?
A: No additional CLINs will be added to the solicitation.
26. Section 01 51 00, 1.05 – Is the allotted 150 Acre Feet of construction water that can come from Altus Lake the total for the duration of the project or per year?
A: Specification Section 015100 states that a total of 150 acre-feet will be available for construction of this project.
27. Section 01 52 10 – Please provide the location in which the field office will be set-up.
A: In addition to the specified location, the Government’s filed office can be located in any convenient location next to the contractor’s office.
28. Section 01 57 30, 1.06 C – Will the Bureau of Rec. be obtaining the required Section 404 permit for the construction activities not associated with Auxiliary Dike and Borrow Areas 1A, 1B & 1C?
A: The Bureau of Reclamation has obtained a Section 404 permit for construction activities below conservation pool elevation associated with Auxilliary Dike, Borrow Areas 1A, 1B, and 1C. Reclamation does not anticipate that additional Section 404 permits will be required for the specified work. However, the contractor is responsible for obtaining additional Section 404 permits if required due to the method or approach selected by the contractor for completing the work.
29. Section 01 57 90 – Will a full time Archeological Monitor be required during the excavation of the borrow areas or only during the clearing & grubbing operations at the borrow areas?
A: An Archeological monitor is required any time the contractor is excavating from borrow areas, Reference Specifications Section 312332. Please note that several specification sections in addition to Excavation from Borrow include requirements for Archeological monitors, and the contractor shall adhere to all such requirements.
30. Section 01 71 20 Surveying – Can a bid line item be created for the Construction Surveying & Staking instead of it being incidental to other areas of work?
A: No additional CLINs will be added to the solicitation.
31. Section F 52.211-10 – At the bid walk it was mentioned that the contract time would change from 500 calendar days to 800 calendar days. Is this a correct statement?
A: Yes.
32. Section F 52.211-12 – This section states that liquidated damages will be assessed for each day beyond December 15th until water is running. Please clarify if this is an internal project milestone or if the project must be completed on the arbitrary date of Dec. 15th.
A: This was corrected via Amendment No. 0001. Liquidated Damages shall be applied for each day beyond the contract completion date with a contract duration of 800 calendar days.
