SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION 00 21 00 - INSTRUCTIONS

The following have been modified:

52.252-3 ALTERATIONS IN SOLICITATION (APR 1984)

Portions of this solicitation are altered as follows:

NONE.

Q&A for 12MAY2023:

Q1) Are the Contractor Crossing Guards required to man the posts shown on the phasing drawings for the entirety of the work shift even when contractor equipment isn’t traversing the property?

A1) Crossing guards are required through working hours. Where there is less need for a guard can be worked through in weekly construction meetings and pre-pave meetings. Equally important is having site control personnel in touch with airfield operations and the maintenance operations cell via radio contact. After hours the lighted low profile barriers from the drawings/specifications will suffice for control of the worksite.

Q2) In regards to the Is the rainwater cleanout, are the risers to be 8” ductile iron, or 6” PVC? Is the cleanout casting to be a cast iron casting or 8” PVC plug? Also, please provide what schedule pipe is to be used for the risers.

A2) The cleanout to be cast-iron soil pipe and fittings meeting ASTM A74.

Q3) In regards to the Is the rainwater cleanout, are the risers to be 8” ductile iron, or 6” PVC? Is the cleanout casting to be a cast iron casting or 8” PVC plug? Also, please provide what schedule pipe is to be used for the risers.

A3) The cleanout to be cast-iron soil pipe and fittings meeting ASTM A74.

Q4) We are requesting a bid date extension of 30 days.

A4) The bid request extension will not be granted at this time.

The following RFIs have been submitted for answers:

Q5) Drawing C-501 (WKVB142112) shows the doweled contraction joints and concrete pavement joints. However the callouts “A” and “D” are not called out anywhere on drawing C-110. Please provide which joints are contraction joints and which are expansion joints. (Received 11MAY)

Q6) The plans & specification SECTION 32 11 33 call for a CEMENT STABILIZED BASE COURSE to be installed at various locations throughout the project. We have researched this item and have been unable to locate any suppliers, subcontractors, or quality control firms that are familiar with this application. As this type of work item has not been used in the Long Island Region, we request an alternative be introduced. (Received 11MAY)

Q7) Are there any soil testing results which would illustrate existing soil classification and characteristics?

Q8) Please provide the length of the 8”x8” downspouts and/or the height of the buildings they are connected to.

Any details of how the downspouts attached to the building would also be appreciated. (Received 10MAY)

Q9) The specifications and details call out a mix-in-place cement stabilized basecourse to be placed at the HH-60 apron, C-130 apron, and inactive apron repairs. We have reached out to multiple contractors as well as testing and design facilities in this regard. They have advised us that the proposed spec may not be a viable option due to the subbase being poorly graded sand and silt. Also, with limited space for concrete replacement at the inactive apron, it will create an issue for proper mixing of the subbase. That being said we would like to propose an alternate subbase.

On previous projects at Gabreski ANG when reconstructing concrete pavement repairs, they have specified the use of a subbase consisting of crush rock base course. Please see the specs below from Project No. WKVB082010 Repair POD Ramp January 2014. Please advise. (Received Monday 08MAY)

RFIs 5-9 will be answered in Amendment 04.

FOOTNOTES:

a. PAID HOLIDAYS: New Year's Day, Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Election Day, Veterans' Day (Armistice Day), Thanksgiving Day, Day after Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. Employees working two (2) days in the calendar week in which a holiday falls are to be paid for such holiday, provided that they shape each remaining workday during such calendar week.

WELDERS - Receive rate prescribed for craft performing operation to which welding is incidental.

Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year.

Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO is available at https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/government-contracts.

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)).

The body of each wage determination lists the classification and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of ""identifiers"" that indicate whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local), a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate (weighted union average rate).

Union Rate Identifiers

A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than ""SU"" or ""UAVG"" denotes that the union classification and rate were prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:

PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of the union which prevailed in the survey for this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198 indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1, 2014.

Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing this classification and rate.

Survey Rate Identifiers

Classifications listed under the ""SU"" identifier indicate that no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As this weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non-union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a new survey is conducted.

Union Average Rate Identifiers

Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate that no single majority rate prevailed for those classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010 08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is based.

WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS

1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be:

* an existing published wage determination

* a survey underlying a wage determination

* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter

* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling

On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour National Office because National Office has responsibility for the Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.) and 3.) should be followed.

With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal process described here, initial contact should be with the Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to:

Branch of Construction Wage Determinations

Wage and Hour Division U.S. Department of Labor

200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an interested party (those affected by the action) can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator

(See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to:

Wage and Hour Administrator U.S. Department of Labor

The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the interested party's position and by any information (wage payment data, project description, area practice material, etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue.

3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative

Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to:

Administrative Review Board U.S. Department of Labor

4.) All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final.
