SUMMARY OF CHANGES

(End of Summary of Changes)

RFI Question(s)/ Answer(s) – Solicitation: W91BU21B0006

1. When does the Government anticipate issuing Award and Notice to Proceed?

The contract will be awarded and NTP will be given as soon as is possible under normal procedures after bid opening.

2. With reference to the order of work, the Specifications Section 35 20 23, Item 1.4 states that work in shall commence in Wilmington Harbor, starting with acceptance section #4 of Christina River and working upstream.

With consideration that the environmental window for Christina River remains open until April 30th, while the window for Marcus Hook and Bellevue/Cherry Island ranges closes on the earlier date of March 15th, we recommend revising language to allow contractors to determine the order of work between Christina River & Delaware River, in order to provide a more efficient schedule.

Order of work and seasonal restrictions are as indicated in Section 35 20 23, of Amendment 3.

Bid as advertised.

3. Further reference to the order of work, Section 35 20 23, Item 1.5.1 states that the order of work for New Castle, Deepwater Point, Cherry Island/Bellevue and Marcus Hook Ranges will be determined by the Contracting Officer when the NTP is issued.

Given that the environmental window applies differently to these reaches, contractors cannot schedule the work appropriately with an unknown order of work prior to bid. We strongly recommend that the Government amend this language to allow contractors to determine the order of work for the Delaware River reaches.

Order of work is as indicated in Section 35 20 23, of Amendment 3. Bid as advertised.

4. Is the Government aware of any rock outcroppings that exist above the over depth level or grade level?

No. Bid as advertised.

5. Is the Government able to provide after dredge surveys reflecting dredge areas cleared to -

46.0 following the dredging works conducted under Solicitation W912BU-20-B-0012?

Upon contract award, before dredging surveys will be provided to the contractor as appropriate.

Latest channel exam surveys of the Delaware River can be found at:

https://www.nap.usace.army.mil/Missions/Civil-Works/Surveys/ .

6. Given the unclear scheduling requirements, we respectfully request an extension of time of one week.

Bid opening date to remain as indicated on SAM.gov, 1pm, 13 September 2021.
