Amendment 0001

Amendment 0001 is hereby incorporated into solicitation SP3100-10-R-0018 and shall become part of any resultant contract.

Amendment 0001 is being issued to answer vendor questions and clarify the proposal submission date.

Questions/Answers:

Question 1: Section 01270, pg. 6 of 16, Z.2.- Topsoil Stripping: If the topsoil is hauled and disposed off depot, Does the contractor assume ownership of the topsoil?

Answer 1: Yes. However, it is unlikely that DDSP will require the Contractor to haul topsoil material deemed as quality material offsite. It is more likely that the Contractor will be directed to haul the material to a stockpile location on the Installation, where it can be stored and re-used on future projects.

Question 2: Section 01270, pg. 6 of 16, AC., 2.- Seeding, Complete: The spec. appears to read that this unit price is intended for two separate processes, amending existing lawn areas AND seeding new lawn areas. Is it possible to separate this unit price into seeding new lawn area (SY) and amending existing lawn areas(SY)? The cost to amend existing lawn areas is a lot more expensive than seeding new lawn areas.

Answer 2: The Specification is requesting two separate prices for two primary types of vegetative cover installation, "Permanent" and "Temporary". Permanent seeded areas shall be considered to be finished lawn areas and Temporary seeded areas shall be considered to be areas seeded with temporary conservation seed mix (primarily intended for areas such as topsoil stockpiles). It is the intent of the Specification to require seedbed preparation method for Permanent seed areas to conform to the requirements of the Specification for all aspects of execution, with the possibility of some exceptions based on site conditions encountered at individual project sites. Temporary seeded areas are not required to conform to the seedbed preparation requirements and as such there should be a lesser installation cost.

The bidder is interpreting that there are two different types of Permanent lawn installation, seeding new lawns and amending existing lawns. This office does not interpret the work in that manner. The bidders should take into account each of the required work processes included in the Specifications when determining their total cost per SY to install new Permanent lawn areas, regardless of whether the lawn being established is an existing one or a new one.

Question 3: Section 01525, 3.6.2- Utility Location Verification (Test Pits): Currently there is no bid item to perform this work in the contract. Is it possible to add a Misc. Unclassified Excavation unit price (CY) as specified in section 02221,1.4.3?

Answer 3: When test pits are required, they will be paid for by utilizing the existing CLINs in the Contract.

Question 4: CLIN 0141 and 1141- Survey Crew: Can you clarify this CLIN? Is this intended for all Surveying Cost for each task order or do we have to include the necessary surveying costs in the appropriate CLINs?

Answer 4: Yes, all survey work will be handled through CLIN 0141 and 1141.

Reference to the proposal due date of April 15, 2010 on page L-5 of the proposal preparation instructions is corrected to read: Proposals are due April 16, 2010 at 2:00 PM local time.

All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.
