7. How thick is the RipRap?

Existing riprap is 8 inches thick. Contractor shall reinstall riprap at 8 inches thick as it was previously.

10. Is there any work on those bypass roads? Is it existing? Or do we providing a Temp road? Does it need base course?

Contractor shall provide a bypass road; it does not exist at the moment. Base course will not be needed for the temporary bypass road. SEE QUESTION 5 ABOVE.

11. General Note 11, says to cold mill and mix with existing base course, but note 2 on the demo sheet says to break asphalt and haul.

Contractor shall cold mill and mix into existing base course. Plan Sheet 2 has been updated to reflect the same verbiage as General Note 11.

12. Are we going to cold mill? Or Break off and haul Asphalt?

Contractor shall cold mill per Note 2, Plan Sheet 5. SEE QUESTION 11 ABOVE.

13. Will the contractor be allowed to combine both bypass roadways to the “tank trail”?

a. Please provide the minimum dimensions of the bypass roadway if both roadways are combined to the “tank trail”.

Bypass road shall be 20 feet wide and shall carry 2-way traffic adjacent to project site.

See General Note 17, Plan Sheet 2.

15. What is the weight of the existing RCP culvert that is to be removed/reused?

Weight of concrete culverts is 1,535/LF. Each section is an 8 foot section with the exception of all four ends; which, are 4 foot sections each.

Yes, this will be coordinated through the WSMR COR (Mr. Michel Leroux).

17. Will the contractor be allowed to stage equipment at the project site?

Yes. DPW-E has provided a staging area approximately 100 feet northeast of culverts.

18. As discussed in the site visit, the asphalt has to be reduced to a certain size before disposal. Please specify this size.

Asphalt millings shall be pulverized to no greater than 1” in diameter and reincorporated into sub-base. SEE NOTE 2, PLAN SHEET 5.

Please see Site Location, Plan Sheet 3.

For this project the Federal Government is immune from State and local sales taxation. If requested, the Government can provide a Standard Form 1094, U.S. Tax Exemption Form to the successful bidder. However it is important for all bidders to understand that the *sucessful bidder* is responsible for the applicable New Mexico Gross Receipts Tax (NMGRT) for this project.

21. Where will the designated parking area be for workers accessing the construction site?

Contractor may use the staging area for parking. See question 17 above.

No. Contractor is responsible for obtaining their own laboratory testing firm.

23. Who is responsible for the utility locations on this government facility?

All utility locates will be coordinated through the Government COR (Mr. Michel Leroux). Contractor shall notify COR minimum of 10 days prior to needing locates and shall white line in the vicinity of where digging will be performed. Government personnel will locate water, waste water, gas, communication lines and electric utilities. Contractor shall call 811 to locate century link and Comcast. There is no cost to the contractor for government utility locates.

24. Due to current potentially significant tariffs being placed on the importation of materials such as wood or steel by the current Presidential Executive Branch, if a tariff is placed after bid time and before award will the government consider a price escalation on a contract value for products such as steel or wood should the executive branch levee tariffs effecting such materials? Most of these materials would still have been Buy American compliant as the tariffs would increase pricing on all steel or wood materials, regardless of origin.

This is a Firm Fixed Priced FFP contract so the government will not consider price escalation.

25. Is there water access available at the job site? If not, what is the nearest location?

SEE QUESTION 14 ABOVE.

26. Is there a specific manner or location for disposal of the spoils, debris and refuse created?

27. In regards to UXO, has the site for this project been cleared for earthwork?

Yes. The Chief of Safety Office has cleared this area since there’s been no historical information that UXO’s have been found nor the area was an old impact zone and area has previously been disturbed.

28. Are all key personnel required to be onsite during all construction activities (Quality Control, Superintendent, and Safety Officer)?

Yes.

29. Can the Superintendent also function as the Site Safety Officer as long as properly trained?
