SUMMARY OF CHANGES

The following have been added by full text:

AMENDMENT P0003 NARRATIVE

The purpose of Amendment P0003 is for the following:

1) Answer questions 13-25 on Q & A Sheet

All other terms and conditions of this solicitation remain unchanged and in effect.

The following have been modified:

Q & A SHEET

Q1. Are there inspection reports or drawings available?

A1. See attached Inspection Reports and Drawing for all 6 towers.

Q2. Looking at the overhead view using Google Maps it appears that not all of the tanks are the same size. The scope states that they are all 200,000 gallon. Do you have dimensions of the tanks so we can verify the capacity?

A2. See attached drawings with dimensions to verify capacity.

Q3. The statement of work states "Contractor shall sandblast and paint 200,000 Gallon elevated water storage tank".

Please confirm if the bid includes interior and exterior sandblasting and painting.

A3. The bid includes both interior and exterior sandblasting and painting.

Q4. Assuming the exterior is included, are we required to contain the tank to prevent blast media from leaving the area? With out containment in place we expect blast media and paint chips to at least blow within the radius 1.5 times the height of the tank. A typical tank is 135' to the top so we expect the media to blow in a radius of at least 200'. Assuming the exterior coating does not contain lead, "open air" blasting is acceptable. "Open air" blasting save both time and money.

A4. Contractors are required to contain the tank to prevent blast media from leaving the area for all six tanks, including the tanks that do not contain lead paint.

Q5. Tank A requires lead abatement. Is the lead on the outside as well as the inside?

A5. Lead abatement is only required on the outside of Tank A. See attached ‘LBP Water Tanks Survey’. Paint sample from the outside Tank A was measured to contain 6.4% lead by weight. After lead abatement is complete, the paint shall contain <0.06% lead by weight. Contactor shall dispose of all paint chips in accordance with environmental regulations.

Q6. Please describe or provide a map to show which tanks are number 1,2 3, A, B & C.

A6. See attached “Water Tower Map” for location of all six tanks.

Q7. Monday - Thursday work restrictions would greatly change the timeline as well as overall cost. Most if not all of the tank contractors bidding would be from out of state and it is more cost effective to work 6 days a week up to 10 hours per day. The statement says we must request additional time at least 48 hours prior to the date of work. For bidding purposes can you tell us if the 6 day / 10 hour work schedule would be accepted? If it is unknown our bid will be quite a bit higher to cover worst case scenario.

A7. The 6 day / 10 hour work schedule will be accepted.

Q8. Are there specs to include the surface prep and coating application? If not, we would suggest calling your local Sherwin Williams store and ask them who your area rep is. They will come to site, inspect the tanks and write you a spec at no charge. This will allow for a 3rd party opinion and keeps all the bidders apples to apples. If requested I can call my local rep and ask for the contact info for the local rep closest to the site.

A8. There are currently no specs for the surface prep and coating application. Please provide us with the contact info for the local rep and we will request specs to provide to the bidders.

Q9. Do you require QP1 or QP2 certification?

A9. QP2 certification is required.

Q10. Are there Liquidated Damages associated with this project? If so how much?

A10. There are not liquidated damages associated with this project.

Q11. Is there a warranty associated with this project? If so how long?

A11. There is a warranty associated with this project covering material and workmanship for a period of one year (365 days) from acceptance date.

Q12. What style are the tanks? Is it a mix of single pedestal and legged?

A12. All six tanks are legged style.

Q13: Could the government please provide drawings and specifications for this project?

A13: Specifications for Exterior Blast Clean and paint: All exterior surfaces shall be blast cleaned to SSPC-SP #6 “Commercial” finish. A prime coat with a minimum of 2.0 mil dry film thickness shall be applied. The prime coat shall be rust inhibitive red iron oxide, zinc oxide, oil, and alkyd primer in accordance with SSPC Paint #25. The prime coat shall be followed by two (2) coats, each a minimum of 1.5 mil dry film thickness, of white alkyd enamel in accordance with SSPC Paint #104 Type 1.

Specifications for Interior Blast Clean and paint: All interior surfaces shall be blast cleaned to SSPC-SP #10 “Near White” finish. A prime coat of at least 3.0 mil dry film thickness and a white coat of at least 5.0 mil dry film thickness shall be applied. Each coat shall be a two-component catalyzed epoxy in accordance with MS DOD-C- 24654. The prime coat shall contrast with the color of the white finish coat.

Disinfection shall follow Arkansas Board of Health regulations as wall as those of A.W.W.A.

Additional specifications can be submitted for government approval by bidders. All bidders will be notified of additional approved specifications.

Q14: Could the government please provide as-built drawings for the tanks?

A14: See attached as-built drawings for each tank.

Q15: Are there minimum levels of bonding required to be responsive to this solicitation?

A15: The requirements for bonding can be found in clause FAR 52.228-1, Bid Guarantee, found in the solicitation.

Q16: What are the required minimum levels of experience for the key personal as outlined in Factor 1?

A16: The key personnel must have experience in projects of similar scope or difficulty.

Q17: Since specifications were not issued with the release of the solicitation, please indicate the required positions of key personnel as outlined in Factor 1.

A17: The key personnel included in the solicitation shall include the on-site Project Managers/Supervisors and the off-site Program Managers that will be involved in this project.

Q18: In Factor 2, it states that at least one (1) but not more than (2), 2-page experience statements shall be included. One of the experience statements must be from the prime. Should we assume that one experience statement be from the prime and one from a key subcontractor if we elect to submit two statements?

A18: Yes, if a subcontractor is used, an experience statement is expected from at least one key prime contractor and one key subcontractor.

Q19: Is there a specific number or limit of projects we are to include on each experience statement(s)?

A19: There is not a specific number or limit of projects to include on the experience statements.

Q20: If we elect to submit the experience of a subcontractor, must we include a teaming agreement to demonstrate the relationship in the Step One proposal?

A20: Yes, a teaming agreement between the sub and prime contractor must be included.

Q21: Define what SP level the surface prep and blast must be made too?

A21: The surface prep and blast must be made to SP-10: Near-White Metal Blast Cleaning.

Q22: Is a NAIC inspector required onsite during all blasting and coating operations. If so, will the inspector be required to be onsite for punch list and minor touch up.

A22: A NAIC inspector is not required on-site during all blasting and coating operations.

Q23: Define working hours?

A23: Working hours are defined in the attached Performance Work Statement. Additional working hours can and will be approved to accommodate contractor scheduling.

Q24: Will weekend work be allowed to accommodate coatings windows and weather perimeters?

A24: Yes, weekend work will be allowed to accommodate contractor scheduling.

Q25: Are API 653 inspection reports available for the tank group?

A25: See attached inspection reports for each tank.
