Q. On drawings CP-102 and CP-103 in Volume 1, the L.E.B pads are denoted as being concrete paving, but per drawings A-551 in Volumes 2 and 3, they are masonry buildings with concrete footing and slabs-on-grade. Please confirm concrete paving is not the correct support/foundation for these L.E.B.'s. Also, please note the reinforcing steel is not sized in the footings except for the vertical rebar dowels into the CMU. Please provide this information.
A. Concrete paving is not the correct support/foundation for these L.E.B.'s. Although the floor finish within the L.E.B.'s and the concrete pavement that is butted up against the building, are both made up of the same material, concrete. In Volume 1, we are showing only an outline of the supporting building, so it can be located on the site.
The details on Sheet A-551 provided in Amendment 4 will provide the correct foundation for this supporting building. The horizontal rebar in the footing will be #5 Reinforcement @ 16" OC and the longitudinal bars should be "#5 CONT".

INQUIRY: 6529351
Q. The keynotes on Drawings CS101 and CS102 refer to chiller pad as being on A-503. The reference to drawing A- 503 is incorrect as we cannot find any such details on any A-503 drawings in any volume set. We are unable to find details of the chiller pads on any drawings. Please provide details of the chiller pads
A. A-507 is the correct sheet location for the Cooling Tower, instead of A-503. Although the plan, sections and elevations that are currently shown on A-507 are intended for the 300 man barrack, Section 2/A-507 shows how each Cooling Tower Screen wall will look like. The plan be updated in Amendment 4.

Q. SECTION 01 35 26.00 50 para 1.5.1.1 state "Site Safety and Health Officer (SSHO) The Contractor Quality Control (QC) person cannot be the SSHO on this project, even though the QC has safety inspection responsibilities as part of the QC duties." This clause does not preclude the SSHO from having other duties – only precludes them serving as the QC. Please confirm if these individuals can perform the role of a SSHO in addition to other duties or if they are required to have no other duties assigned than site safety and health.
A. The designated SSHO (and Alternate SSHO) shall have no other duties assigned other than that of site safety and health.
INQUIRY: 6533583
Q. SECTION 01 35 26.00 50 1.5.2.2 requires that Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) "shall have no other duties other than occupational health management, inspections, and enforcement on this contract" but also states they will "b. Perform as the occupational health "competent person" as defined by USACE EM 385-1-1". It is understood that this individual is required full time during the demo phase when demo work is being performed- could this individual also then serve as the SSHO during the demo phase? Or are both individuals required during this phase?
A. A CIH could serve to fulfill both designated roles (safety and occupational health management) during the demolition phase of the project, however, to serve in the designated role of project SSHO, the individual would need to demonstrate that he meets all of the specific qualifications, training, and experience requirements established for a project SSHO as indicated in Section 01.A.17 (a-i).

INQUIRY: 6520673
Q. There are two (2) sets of drawings for each building posted on the Government website. For instance, for the 600 Person Barracks, there are files noted "Progress Submission", [ie: H.01.04_LEE_VOLUME 2_600 MAN BARRACKS (Progress Submission)], and very similar drawing sets noted with "21April2016", [ie:
H.01.04_Volume2600PersonBarracks_21April2016], both for the same building. The date in the title blocks for both sets is 30 March 2016. Some examples of the differences discovered are as follows:
1.) The "Progress Submission" set has civil drawings, the 21 April 2016 set does not have civil drawings.
2.) Drawing S-303 is not the same in each set of drawings, less details in the "Progress Submission" set.
3.) Drawings A-202 through A-209 are not the same.
4.) Drawings A-321 and A-322, sections and details are not the same.
5.) There is a drawing A-323 in the "Progress Submission" set that is not in the 21 April 2016 set.
6.) Drawing A-606 is not the same.
7.) Drawings F-102 through F-106 are not the same.
8.) Drawings I-100 and I-101 are not the same.
We did not go all the way through the MEP drawings in Volume 2 and there may be similar discrepancies. This also occurs in Volumes 1, 3 and 4 of the drawings which may have similar discrepancies since there are duplicate sets of drawings for each of these. Please clarify which set of drawings the bidding contractors are to use and remove the duplicate sets from the Government website to prevent confusion and error in bidding.
A. Please see Amendment 0003 document "Amendment Details 3_20May2016". This document details what changes have been made to drawings/plans/specs. Amendment 0004, FAR clause 252.236-7001 details what contract drawings and specifications are applicable to this Solicitation.

Q. The submission instructions state that both the Price and Technical proposals are to be submitted on a CD-ROM;
given that we will not be getting pricing from the subs and vendors until closer to the bid date and time please advise if it will be acceptable to submit the CD for the Price Proposal with a blank Price Schedule and blank Subcontracting Plan, and that we be allowed to e-mail you the completed Price Schedule and Subcontracting Plan prior to the bid closing time or provide the CD in its entirety the following business day.
A. See Amendment 04 for clarification.
INQUIRY: 6520680
Q. The submission instructions state that both the Price and Technical proposals are to be submitted in one (1) original and four (4) copies; please confirm that one (1) original and four (4) copies is required for the Price proposal as typically the requirement is just one (1) original and one (1) copy.
A. Only one copy of the Price and Pro Forma volume is required. See amendment 04 for clarification.
INQUIRY: 6523954
Q. Regarding the Proposal Submission Requirement – 4.6.2: In addition to the hardcopy proposals, submit one (1), non-editable, searchable copy on CD-ROM". Given the nature of the bidding process, the minutes leading up to the deadline for the price proposal can be very hectic. The focus for the Offeror is on compiling a complete, accurate and competitive bid finalized and submitted. Submitting the Price CD at this point adds a level of complication that hinders the bid process. Would the Corps consider allowing the Price CD to be submitted within the next 24 hours, so that the CD contains complete and accurate information and doesn't detract from focus on the bid?
A. See amendment 04 for clarification.

Q. Due to the misdirection and confusion with having two sets of drawings issued with the original solicitation, which have now been replaced by drawings issued in Amendment No. 1, and with the issuance of replacement specifications in Amendment No. 2, we respectfully request that the bid date be extended by at least two weeks since contractors and subcontractors are essentially starting all over from the beginning. We also request that the pre-bid site visit be extended two weeks in anticipation of the building demolition drawings being issued on or about 20 May 2016 in order to allow time for review before the site visit, especially considering this is a tentative date which could slip. Your favorable considerations will be greatly appreciated and will most assuredly aid in better pricing for this logistically challenging project.
