Q No. Question/Comments Answer/Response Status 1 Is all electric including the light excluded? Yes. Answered 2 Will the tank be completely pumped out by WVA before our work begins?

If tank is not pumped out please provide test results on the water or other parameters so we can price the liquid disposal.

The tank will be pumped out. Answered

3 Please confirm that no soil will have to be disposed of by us and that all excavated dirt will be placed back in the tank hole without any testing.

Collect 6 soil samples and run for 24-hour turn around so the tank grave can be backfilled quickly. Field screen of soil. All tank spoils to be re-used in backfilling the tank grave. The soil samples will be T-clip and metals. Standard soil samples to make sure there isn't ground contamination.

4 When the tank is removed, some asphalt will also have to be removed. Can this area be redone with concrete? The contractor will have to dispose of the dug out material. It can be replaqced with concrete if needed. Answered 5 There was discussion of oh door or swing gates on the east side of the dumpster for truck access. No requirement was shown on the drawings.

Yes, there will be gate or roll up door. Answered

6 Drawing S-05 does not seem to be for this job. Please confirm that we can exclude any work shown on this drawing. Correct, it’s a different job. Answered 7 Drawings E-01 and E-02 appear to be for other electric work. Please confirm that we can exclude any work shown on these drawings.

That’s correct. Answered

8 Drawing S-03 shows ramp to be rebuilt and gates at the bottom of the ramp. Are these included? If so, please provide details.

There does not need to be any gates included in the project at the bottom of the ramp. We are not replacing/rebuilding the ramp. Answered

9 Drawing S-03 shows bollards. Please provide details. Yes, there needs to be bollards. Answered 10 Drawing S-03 shows footings and columns. Please provide dimensions, sizes… for all steel and concrete work. New concrete footers for Steel Building with proper subbase. Answered 11 Drawing S-03 shows wind column. Please provide details. A wind column is a construction bracing for the structure for weather resistance. It is beyond our expertise to know what the size/shap would have to be but it is a common design element. I would suggest that the design engineer would be a better POC for this.

Answered

12 Drawing S-03 shows east side being open. Is this correct? If not please provide details. Yes, the east side of the roll off area is where the overheard door or gates will be. Answered 13 Drawing S-04 shows a flat concrete pad under the dumpster with no slope or containment. Is this correct? If not please provide details.

Correct. Answered

14 Drawing S-04 shows the pad under the dumpster. Please provide details required to build this pad including thickness, reinforcing, subbase, concrete…

The pad needs to be sufficient to anchor the weight of the potential overhang as well as the weight of the dumpster and industrial waste items inside of it. We do not have the expertise to determine the thickness or depth of the concrete but it would have to be structured so that it can withstand the weight and weather exposures.

Answered

15 Drawing S-08 shows details for work that does not appear to be part of the scope. Please clarify this page and provide requirements including sizes, spacing, thickness…

S-8 was a structural example for concrete and pads; it has no directional information for the ramp structure. Answered

16 Please provide details on construction of the surrounding pads that will be disturbed during the tank removal and new dumpster pad installation.

The dumpster pad and area where tank is being removed will be replaced. Answered

17 It was mentioned during the walk through that the steel could remain unpainted. Is this correct? No, it will need to be painted. Answered 18 Is an engineered sheeting/shoring design required for removal of the UST ? It will need shoring so that the structure does not collapse as it will be greater than 4 feet deep. Answered 19 Is the double leaf chain link fence gate shown on sheet S-03 required? No we do not need fencing in that location. Answered 20 Is any contaminated material expected to be encountered during the project? Not that we are aware of. WVA will be pumping out the tank prior to work starting in that area. Answered 21 During the preconstruction meeting, it was discussed that lighting would not be required. Spec Part 3 Execution, Paragraph

3.11 references the installation of lighting. Please confirm whether lighting and electrical service are required for the new proposed structure.

We do not need lighting at this structure. Answered

22 The drawings provided via email include Sheet S-05, New Gasoline & Diesel Foundation Plan, E-01 Electrical Legend, E-02 Electrical Site Plan. Please confirm whether this drawing is applicable to our scope of work.

Those drawing are not applicable to the SOW for this project. Answered

23 Please confirm the required steel gauge, building specifications, load requirements and any additional design requirements for the proposed steel building. Alternatively, please confirm whether the building is intended to be a contractor-delegated design-build item, with the contractor responsible for the final design and engineering.

The contractor will be required to have all drawings completed internally and provide to the WVA for review. These will have to be reviewed by PW and other offices for concurrence.

Answered

24 Please provide any details related to the requirements for the footers. (i.e preferred concrete mix, rebar size and layout, depth etc).

The contractor will have to provide those measurements and designs internally and submit to WVA. The requirement in the project is for the structure to withstand weather conditions and provide overhang for the ramp tank.
