Questions and Answers

On the signing and striping plan C‐101, no striping is called out….only a handicap stall and symbol by the mechanical building and through arrows and wash line are needed. I cannot find where the wash line is located on the plan. See Drawing 149‐62‐002, Sheet 16 (C‐101) and Note 2 on the drawing.

It was mentioned during the site visit that water source is not available within the site close vicinity, can you please advise; where is the closest water source?

Arrangements for a water source, including application and charges for a temporary meter installation/removal and charges for water consumed are the responsibility of the contractor.

Is there any landscape / grass & irrigation requirement on this project (especially on sloped surfaces on West & South side)? No.

First, the spec for the Check valves on this project ? I can only find a reference to “Slanting Disc” check valves in section #2.10.3 ‐‐they are not widely used in this application and I wonder if other style check valves like those made by M & H Valve Company ( see link below) may be satisfactory ? You could sure save some money that way. See Sections 04 05 13, 43 21 39 and 44 43 00.

Second, I find almost nothing on the trench drain shown on Sheet DP101, and I doubt if they will make a sweeping 90 degree curve like you have on the drawing.

Also, what is the diameter of the trench drain? In MM or in inches we need to know in order to quote the right trench drain. I’ve not seen a width anywhere on the drawings or specs. And what is the purpose of the covered part of the trench drain? Could that not be just as efficient as a buried pipe ? I think the trench drain manufacturers are going to add such a premium ($$)to the cost of that curving part and a solid grate for it, that it will be very very expensive and hard to get. See Drawing Sheet SV‐301.

On Drwg DV101 the pressure wash steel piping is called out as 1‐1/4” sch 80 steel pipe, BUT under spec section 2.3.1.1 it’s called out as Sch 160 which way is correct ? This is not easy pipe to find in domestic so I’d just like to quote the right pipe to contractors. See Section 40 05 13, paragraph 2.3.1.1.

13 Also is there any specification for the tape coat ? See Amendment 0003, Section 40 05 13, paragraph 2.3.4.

Looking at the response we have from subcontractors and suppliers, who we have invited to provide us a price for the above referenced project. As of to date we just have a few responses. Based on talking to a few of them, they need more time to prepare their price together due to a lot of them are bidding different project this week. With less subcontractor and suppliers to price the project is less competitive and it’s in the best interest to the Government to have a competitive and better pricing. Can we request to move the bid date by at least 10 days? See Amendment 0005.

Questions and Answers

Due to the close proximity of this bid with the Helemano Tactical Vehicle Maintenance Facility and other bids will it be considered to postpone the bid till 8/27 or further back to allow contractors and subcontractors more time to put together their proposals. See Amendment 0005.

The RFP, SF 1442 and Section S‐28.2 require a bid bond (SF 24). Please clarify what dollar amount or percentage is required for the bid bond. See Section 00700, 52.228‐1 and FAR 28.101.
