· Question 1: (Detail 02 in Drawing C3) given the erosion conditions, we suggest installing readymix flowable fill (or concrete) between the cutoff wall and apron to provide support to the apron itself. If this is an acceptable solution, can you please specify whether to use either concrete or fill and make this a requirement for all bidders?
Response: The Contractor may substitute flowable fill for select backfill in accordance with Section 516 “Flowable Fill,” of the NMDOT Standard Specifications for Highway and Bridge Construction, latest edition. Flowable fill shall consist of a flowable mixture of Portland cement, fly ash, aggregates, admixtures and water.
· Question 2: Can you please provide estimated dates for the 120 days period of performance
Response: Specific calendar dates are not known at this time and will not be finalized until the contract is formally awarded.
· Question 3: What is the availability of water for construction and staging area?
Response: The construction water source is located at the Small Missile Range (SMR), accessible via a fire hydrant at the following approximate coordinates: 32°28'49.23"N, 106°25'7.05"W. The hydrant is approximately 14 miles from the project location. The Contractor must install a backflow prevention device approved by the WSMR Water Plant Manager, in accordance with Section 2.3.1 of the Statement of Work (SOW). The location of the Staging Area is described in the plans.
· Question 4: What is the expected procedure for accessing the site, including sanitary services such as porta potties, concrete delivery, concrete pump, everyday work and so forth?
Response: Site access must be coordinated through the Contractor’s designated representative, who will be issued the SMR gate code via the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) and in accordance with the SOW. The Contractor's representative is solely responsible for personally meeting, escorting, and granting site access to all subcontractors, delivery personnel, and service providers.
· Question 5: Hot, or cold weather concrete practices are very likely to happen. Previous to the proper authorization, are we allow to work off “regular” working hours, overnight in some cases?
