QUESTIONS AND RESPONSES
SHADEHILL DAM SERVICE SPILLWAY STILLING BASION CONCRETE REPAIRS
(25) Please reference Section 03 20 30. 3.2.A.1.a (adjust holes to avoid reinforcement).
Drawing #11 indicates an additional mat of #4 bars @ 12” O.C. was installed with an overlay in 1977. Question: This double mat will confuse any xray location process.
The lower original mat is comprised of #7 and #8 bars at 6” O.C. Can the upper mat be cut?
The reinforcement mat in the 1977 overlay can be drilled through for installation of new anchor bars. Refer to For Information Only drawing #276-D-158 for original service stilling basin reinforcement mat, and drawing #276-BM-158 for reinforcement list.
(26) Are there any restrictions on crack repair and seal procedures to stop seep water at the stilling basin floor?
Yes. Any proposed crack repair or seal locations, products, and procedures must be approved by the COR.
(27) Please reference 03 81 10.3.4.M: There is not a way to ascertain the amount of existing top rebar mat that will be exposed and require full concrete removal and the bar. Also, the amount of bar requiring replacement due to corrosion is not able to be determined. How will the upper mat of #4’s in question #1 above be handled as to corrosion etc?
Refer to Existing Stilling Basin Elevations and Contours, page 5 in Specifications Section 51 00 00 – Information Available to Offerors for potential eroded areas of service spillway stilling basin. Refer to Specifications Section 03 81 10 – Concrete Removal, Paragraph M for reinforcement corrosion.
(28) Can the existing top horizontal rebar in the blocks be removed to facilitate concrete removal?
Yes. Contractor must replace reinforcement removed for concrete removal with new reinforcement of similar properties prior to new concrete placement.
(29) Can weep holes be sealed or must they be channeled to allow them to be functional during contract duration?
Proposed modifications to existing installations must be reviewed and approved by COR.
(30) Is there any information indicating the amount or depth of mud and debris collected on the stilling basin floor?
Past inspections revealed only small cobbles and very little sediment present in the service spillway stilling basin.
(31) Can you please confirm that PIV cards are not required for the project (please reference I.33)?
In accordance with WBR 1452.237-80 PIV Cards will not be required.
(32) What permit(s) is the General Contractor responsible for obtaining?
The Contractor is responsible for obtaining the necessary permits required by Federal, State and local regulations. Reclamation has applied for a 404 permit with the Army Corps of Engineers for placement of cofferdam fill material in the Grand River.
(33) Can you please confirm that the Supt. can be the company’s on site safety representative for the company (assuming he/she is qualified)?
Refer to Specifications Section 01 35 20, Paragraphs 1.4 and 1.5 for requirements of Contractor’s Onsite Safety Representative and Contractor’s Certified Safety Professional.

In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation 52.229-03, contractors shall include all federal, state and local taxes in their price proposal to the Government.
(35) The Solicitation states a Government review period of up to 120 days. Work is anticipated to begin August 1 and must be completed by October 31. What is the anticipated Award date? It will be important for the contractor to complete preliminary submittals prior to the work commencement date of August 1 to complete all work including restoration by October 31.
The Government requested a 120 day acceptance period, however the Government expects this contract will be awarded early enough so the contractor will have sufficient time to complete contract submittals and complete all on-site work by October 31, 2017.
(36) Section 03 30 00 Cast-in-Place Concrete 3.6 Curing has sub-paragraphs A, B, C and
D. Is the contractor allowed to pick any one of these 4 curing methods, or are multiple curing methods required for silica fume concrete?
Any curing method listed in Section 03 30 00 – Cast-in-Place Concrete is acceptable.
(37) Section 03 30 00 Cast-in-Place Concrete 3.6 Curing, there are special requirements stated for curing Silica Fume Concrete, including fog spraying for 14 days to start immediately after placing. The volume of concrete, as well as the layout of blocks and spillway may require multiple days of concrete placement. Will the Government allow the fog curing to cease while subsequent placements are performed?
No
(38) Will the contractor be required to have a full time dedicated Quality Control
Manager on site (no other duties)?
No
(39) Will the contractor be required to have a full time dedicated Safety Representative
(no other duties)?
Refer to Specifications Section 01 35 20 – Safety and Health, Paragraph 1.05 for requirements and responsibilities of Contractor’s Onsite Safety Representative and Certified Safety Professional.
(40) Section 32 92 20 – 1 states that seeding and fertilizing will not be allowed when the ambient temperature is below 38 degrees F. Due to the anticipated construction schedule (August – October) will final restoration and seeding be allowed when the work is completed, or will the Contractor be required to return to the site in the spring of 2018 to perform final seeding/restoration?
Refer to Amendment No. 1 revised Section 32 92 20 – Seeding and Soil Supplements.
(41) Section 31 02 10 – 1 states that cost of water for dust abatement is to be included in the Price Schedule for other items of work. Part 3 states that Contractor is to apply water for dust abatement as directed by the COR. What are the anticipated limits and/or requirements for dust control?
Refer to Specifications Section 01 57 20 – Environmental Controls, Paragraph 1.03.A.
(42) Section 03 30 00 – 1 measurement and payment states that Contractor will be paid by the volume of concrete measured to structure neatlines shown on drawings.
Section 03 30 00 – 5 states that Contractor is to furnish digitized batch tickets with each batch of concrete. Will contractor be paid based on the neatline quantities based on drawings and scour reference drawings or based on batch tickets of concrete placed?
Neatline measurement. Refer to 03 30 00 – Cast-in-Place Concrete.
(43) Section 01 51 00 -1 states that temporary water must be supplied by the contractor.
Will reservoir/river water (from the structure above the work site, or elsewhere) be available for contractor use for fogging/curing of concrete, and other construction operations?
Use of reservoir water for contractor use is not allowed per Specification Sections 03 30 00 – Cast-in-Place Concrete and 01 51 00 – Temporary Utilities.
(44) There are numerous RSN items that must be transmitted to the CO / COR 10 days, 14 days and 28 days before commencement of construction activities or arrival on site. The current construction duration is 92 days (August 1, 2017 to October 31, 2017). It will be necessary for the successful contractor to receive award prior to the August 1, 2017 start date to satisfy all of the submittal requirements. For development of the proposal schedule, what is the assumed award date?
We have every expectation this contract will be awarded in late spring, whereby a contractor will have sufficient time to complete contract submittals and complete all on-site work by October 31, 2017.
(45) If the award date is delayed, will the Government wave specific submittal requirements in regards to delivery time prior to commencing on site activities and accelerate response times?
No, the Government not waive submittal requirements, however we will endeavor to response to submittals quicker than what is allowed by Section 01 33 00 – Submittals.
(46) Will the Government consider paying winter conditions if a delay in award affects the Critical Path Schedule and pushes the earliest possible construction start date?
As stated above, the Government expects award of a contract will be made early enough such that on-site work will be able to be complete by October 31, 2017. If something occurs which causes the work to take place in “winter conditions” a contractor may always submit a request for equitable adjustment for Government consideration.
(47) Could you please clarify if the Bid Bond it should be included in Volume 1, 2, or 3?
The bid bond may be included in either Volume I or III.

SECURITY REQUIREMENTS--BUREAU OF
RECLAMATION
FEB 2017
(a) General Security Requirements:
(1) This clause addresses security requirements, including general procedural requirements, information security requirements, contractor employee suitability requirements, identification card requirements, site security requirements, vessel exclusion barriers, and information technology security requirements.
Within this clause, COR means Contracting Officer's Representative. If there is no COR appointed and identified to the Contractor, the term instead will mean the Program Manager or any other authorized individual responsible for technical oversight under the contract. “Work site” means the Government facility, office, construction site, and any other area within the Government office or facility that the Contractor must access to accomplish work under this contract.
(2) The work performed under this contract shall only be accomplished by individuals (in the employment of the Contractor or any subcontractors) whose conduct and behavior is consistent with the efficiency of the Federal Service and the requirements of this contract, and who are acceptable to the CO. If Reclamation finds a Contractor employee to be unsuitable or unfit for his or her assigned duties, the CO will direct the Contractor to remove the individual from the contract and access to the Federal facility at which the contract activities are occurring.
(3) The Contractor’s employees governed by this contract may need access to sensitive information and/or sensitive areas. The Federal Government (Government) reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine suitability of Contractor personnel and deny access to any sensitive information or project specific area to any personnel for any cause.
(4) The Contractor is responsible for informing and ensuring compliance by its employees with any applicable security procedures of the Government facility where work may be performed under this contract.
(5) Any Contractor employee that will have access to a Federally-controlled facility or information system will be required to have a Government-issued identification card, consisting of a Personal Identity Verification (PIV) Card, a temporary identification card, or a visitor badge. (Note: within the Department of the Interior this card is known as a DOI Access Card.) During performance of the contract, the Contractor shall keep the COR apprised of any changes in personnel, or changes in personnel access or duration, to ensure that performance is not delayed by compliance with credentialing processes.
(6) A Contractor employee will not be provided access to a Government facility or information system until a Government PIV Card, temporary identification card, or visitor identification badge has been issued to the Contractor employee. For those individuals that will be receiving a PIV Card, the Government may, at its discretion, issue a temporary identification card or visitor identification badge after the electronic background investigation forms have been received and the investigation is initiated.
(7) All Contractor employees shall access the facility via the facility’s entry screening system and visibly display the Government-issued PIV Card, temporary identification card, or visitor identification badge at
I - 46
Missouri River Basin Project Grand Division Amendment No. 0002 Shadehill Unit South Dakota Solicitation No. R17PS00430 all times. Contractor employees must visibly wear the Government-issued identification card at all times they are on Government facilities. Contractor employees are responsible for the safekeeping of all Government-issued identification cards, whether on-site or off-site. Cards that have been lost, damaged, or stolen must be reported to the COR and DOI Access Sponsor within 24 hours. The Contractor shall return all identification cards and card keys and any other Government property and information upon completion of performance or when personnel depart permanently or for a period of 7 days or more. The Contractor may be required to turn in access control cards or identification cards on a daily basis.
(8) Misuse or loss of access control or identification cards, or failure to comply with required surrender of such cards may, at Government discretion, result in Contractor personnel being denied access to the work site, at no cost to Government. The Contractor may be charged up to $500 for each occurrence for any required replacement of Government-issued access control or identification cards due to loss or misuse.
At the end of contract performance, or when a Contractor employee is no longer working under this contract, the Contractor shall ensure that all access control and identification cards are returned to the
COR.
(9) All Contractor personnel, including subcontractor personnel, with access to the work site shall be U.S.
citizens or foreign individuals legally residing in, or legally admitted to, the U.S. For all non-U.S.
citizens working under this contract, irrespective of length of time working on the contract, the Contractor shall provide to the COR, legible and valid copies of the individual’s passport and visa (unless individual is on the Visa Waiver Program) a minimum of 14 calendar days prior to beginning work or arriving at the facility. A driver’s license is not acceptable identification. In addition, a completed form I-94 shall be submitted to the COR upon the individual’s arrival at the work facility and prior to beginning work.
(10) The Contractor shall report all contacts with entities, individuals, and counsel/representatives (including foreign entities and foreign nationals) who seek in any way to obtain unauthorized access to sensitive information or areas. The Contractor shall report any violations of contract provisions, laws, executive orders, regulations, and guidance to the Contracting Officer (CO). The Contractor shall report any information raising a doubt as to whether an individual’s eligibility for continued employment or access to sensitive information is consistent with the interests of National Security and the Public Trust.
(11) Unsanctioned, negligent, or willful inappropriate action on the part of the Contractor (or its employees) may result in termination of the contract or removal of some Contractor employees from Reclamation facilities at no cost to the Government. These actions include, but are not limited to, exploration of a sensitive system and/or information, introduction of unauthorized and/or malicious software, inappropriate release of sensitive information, or failure to follow prescribed access control policies and/or security procedures. Failure to comply with Reclamation policies, procedures, or other published security requirements may result in termination of the contract or removal of some contracted employees from Reclamation buildings and/or facilities at no cost to the Government.
(12) All provisions of this clause shall equally apply to all subcontractors. The Contractor shall incorporate the substance of this clause in all subcontracts.
(13) These security requirements apply to all sections of this Contract including Contract Drawings and other Contract Specifications as applicable. Related documents include other general provisions of
I - 47
Missouri River Basin Project Grand Division Amendment No. 0002 Shadehill Unit South Dakota Solicitation No. R17PS00430
Construction or Operations and Maintenance type Contracts, including FAR clauses by reference or as amended by related documents.
(b) Information Security Requirements.
(1) Sensitive Information. The term “sensitive information” means any information which warrants a degree of protection and administrative control as defined by Reclamation or that meets the criteria for exemption from public disclosure set forth under Sections 552 and 552a of Title 5, United States Code:
the Freedom of Information Act and the Privacy Act. Sensitive information is generally categorized as FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY (FOUO) information or CONTROLLED UNCLASSIFIED INFORMATION (CUI), but in some cases may include other unclassified information. (The protection of National Security information is beyond the scope of this clause. If any work on National Security information is required under this contract, it is addressed under other contract clauses.) The Contractor shall protect this type of information from unauthorized release into public domain, or to unauthorized persons, organizations, or subcontractors. Information which, either alone or in aggregate, is deemed sensitive by Reclamation shall be handled and protected in accordance with Reclamation directives and standards for identifying and safeguarding sensitive information (SLE 02-01), which is available from the COR or at http://www.usbr.gov/recman/DandS.html#sle.
(i) Any Government-furnished information or material does not become the property of the Contractor and may be withdrawn at any time. Upon expiration or termination of the contract, all documents released to the Contractor and any material created using data from such documents shall be returned to the COR for final disposition. Government-furnished information residing on any electronic systems (laptops, servers, desktops, media) shall be deleted from those systems using a COR-approved data erasure solution. Only with prior authorization from the CO may the Contractor retain the material. The Contractor or subcontractor shall not disclose or release the materials provided to the Contractor to any individuals of the Contractor's organization not directly engaged in providing services under the contract or that do not have a valid need-to-know. All technical data provided to the Contractor by the Government shall be protected from public or private disclosure in accordance with the markings printed on them. All other information relating to the items to be delivered or the services to be performed under this contract shall not be disclosed by any means without prior approval of the CO. Prohibited dissemination or disclosure includes, but is not limited to: permitting access to such information by foreign nationals or by immigrant aliens who may be employed by the Contractor, publication of technical or scientific papers, advertising, disclosure to Contractor staff not investigated and deemed acceptable at the appropriate information sensitivity level, and any other public release.
The Contractor shall maintain, and furnish upon request of the CO, records of the names of individuals who have access to sensitive material in its custody. All questions regarding information security, access, and control shall be referred to the COR.
(ii) The Contractor shall not release to anyone outside the Contractor’s organization any sensitive, or otherwise protected information, regardless of medium in which it is contained (for example, film, tape, document, electronic), pertaining to any part of this contract or any Reclamation program or activity, unless the CO has given prior written approval. This includes, but is not limited to, news releases, marketing promotions, articles, interviews, reports, social media posts, and any other media releases. Requests for approval shall identify the specific information to be released, the medium to be used, the purpose for the release, and a description
I - 48
Missouri River Basin Project Grand Division Amendment No. 0002 Shadehill Unit South Dakota Solicitation No. R17PS00430 of the need-to-know. The Contractor shall submit its request to the CO ten business days before the proposed date for release. Subcontractors shall submit requests for authorization to release through the prime Contractor to the CO.
(iii) The Contractor shall notify the COR immediately when known or suspected loss/compromise of sensitive information or other documents, notes, drawings, sketches, reports, photographs, exposed film or similar information which may affect the security interests of Government has occurred. This requirement extends to employees and other personnel working on behalf of the Contractor, and expands responsibility to include prompt reporting of security issues, including observed or subsequently discovered efforts by unauthorized persons to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information.
(2) Classified Information.
(i) The disclosure of U.S. Government documents by third parties can result in damage to our national security. While this contract may not deal directly with classified information, each contractor is obligated to protect classified information pursuant to all applicable laws and to use Government information technology systems in accordance with agency procedures so that the integrity of such systems is not compromised.
(ii) Unauthorized disclosures of classified documents (whether in print, on a blog, or on websites, or other electronic or non-electronic media) do not alter the documents' classified status or automatically result in declassification of the documents. To the contrary, classified information, whether or not already posted on public websites or disclosed to the media, remains classified, and must be treated as such by Federal employees and contractors, until it is declassified by an appropriate U.S. Government authority. Executive Order 13526, Classified National Security Information (December 29, 2009), Section 1.1.(c) states, "Classified Information shall not be declassified automatically as a result of any unauthorized disclosure of identical or similar information." Although the Department has taken steps to prevent access to publicly disclosed classified materials from Departmental computers, it is important to understand our continuing duties and responsibilities in this regard.
(iii) Contractors (which include all employees of the contractor, as well as subcontractors and its employees performing work for the contractor) are reminded of the following obligations with respect to the treatment of classified information and the use of unclassified government information technology systems:
(iv)The contractor shall not, while using unclassified Government computers or other devices (such as phones or tablets) access documents that are marked classified (including classified documents made publicly available by a third party), as doing so risks that material still classified will be placed onto unclassified systems. This requirement does not restrict contractor access to unclassified, publicly available news reports (and other unclassified material) that may in turn discuss classified material, as distinguished from access to underlying documents that themselves are marked classified (including if the underlying classified documents are available on public web sites or otherwise in the public domain).
I - 49
Missouri River Basin Project Grand Division Amendment No. 0002 Shadehill Unit South Dakota Solicitation No. R17PS00430
(v) For contracts that require access to classified information, the contractor is responsible for obtaining the required national security clearance through the Department of the Defense National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM). Any classified contracts will be coordinated through the Reclamation Chief Security Officer, or for IT requirements, the Bureau Chief Information Security Officer. No contractor shall access classified information unless proper clearances have been obtained and transmitted to Reclamation. For further information, refer to 443 DM 1 or DOD NISPOM 5220.22-M dated February 28, 2006 (incorporating change 2 dated May 18, 2016).
(vi) Classified information shall not be removed from official premises.
(vii) Classified information shall not be disclosed without proper authorization.
(c) RESERVED
(d) RESERVED
(e) Site Security Requirements
(1) General Description. This section provides provisions to ensure the full security integrity of the facility and personnel working at the facility. The work of this section may involve interfaces with a number of Government security personnel, normally coordinated through the designated COR. The Contractor is responsible for ensuring that activities are accomplished in a manner that complies fully with applicable security statutes, regulations, policies, directives, and standards.
(2) Government Security Personnel. When and where applicable, personnel may be assigned to control access, secure materials or activities at the work site, or escort Contractor personnel in sensitive areas.
Personnel may include: security managers, security guards, security contractors acting as agents of the Government, law enforcement personnel, or other contractors or employees. These individuals may be used to ensure the overall security and integrity of the site or building and provide controlled access.
These individuals may conduct inspections of all workers, vehicles, equipment, or materials entering, or re-entering the work site. The inspection may be done visually, with walk-through and/or hand-held metal detectors, or by other means as may be deemed necessary by Reclamation.
