Questions and Answers Black Butte Water Testing Services
W9123824Q0024
1. Is the coliform testing absent/presence or MPN?
We are required to report any positive coliform testing results to the California State Water Board.
2. Are there measuring devices (markers) in the oxidation ponds at BH, OB, and EP. If so, how deep are the oxidation ponds at these sites?
Yes, each pond has markers to measure depth.
3. Are the oxidation ponds at OB/BH/EP difficult to access during the off-season due to hazardous road conditions?
The OB and BH oxidation ponds are accessible during the winter. The EP oxidation pond is accessed off of a fire break roadway that may be difficult to drive on during inclement weather. The fire break roadway is dirt.
4. When the SOW states that it is the responsibility of the Contractor to arrange for access into the area when closed, what does that mean? Will the COR be on leave too until April?
We provide keys to the contractor for area access. It is up to the contractor to ensure the area remains locked if and when accessing a locked area. The project staff works all year at the project location.
5. Is a 4-wheel drive vehicle recommended to safely complete the work at the ponds?
Yes, an all-wheel or 4-wheel drive vehicle is recommended.
6. If the services in this solicitation are intended to be leased, is the prime contractor required to share this same NAICS code listed?
Assuming “leased” means sub-contracted, the prime contractor will be held accountable for all actions of its sub-contractor. Yes, the NAICS code of the prime will need to be the same.
7. I am writing to seek clarification regarding two items listed under the pricing schedule for Option Year 3 and 4 of solicitation W9123824Q0024 that do not appear in the Performance Work Statement (PWS). The items in question are: CLINN 3002AA Semi-Annual Periodic Inspection and CLINN 3002AB Category 1 Testing and Certification.
Those CLINS were added my mistake, a revised Pricing Schedule will be posted on an upcoming amendment.
8. The scope of work and specific tasks involved in the Semi-Annual Periodic

The reference to Semi-Annual Periodic Inspection in the pricing schedule was removed.
A revised pricing schedule will be posted on an upcoming amendment.

Black Butte Lake, or is the solicitation only for manual testing?
The requirement is to complete site visits to obtain water samples that can be lab tested to provide the required results via the PWS.
