Requests for Information and Responses

12. Please clarify that the Base and All Option quantity will be pumped between stations STA 2+00 to STA 50+00 and nowhere else along the beach. The dashed Limit of Work line from STA 2+00 to STA 86+00 is very ambiguous. Can you please specify what type of work will be done between the “Limit of Work” line.

Answer: See Amendment No. 0002, work is not anticipated beyond station 50+00.

13. On C-001, Note 4 states The CWL will be established by the contracting officer when the area of work is known. Location and template of beachfill may be revised by the contracting officer after pre-placement condition surveys are received. Please clarify that the location and template of beachfill material will only be revised between the Base Bid and Option Limit

STA 2+00 to STA 50+00 which is specified on the contract drawings.

Answer: Revisions following precondition surveys will be between station

2+00 and 50+00.

14. The borrow area survey does not show a sufficient amount of material to complete the base and option work quantity for this contract. Please provide a maximum allowable depth that results in full contract quantity plus the sufficient amount of loses >20 percent. This must be known prior to bid to allow sufficient information to calculate coverage and production rates.

Currently there is a shortage of >25 percent.

Answer: See Amendment No. 0002.

15. Is the intent to have the Temporary Orange Construction Fence from STA

2+00 to 10+00 on Sheet C-102, be installed after beachfill is complete in that area?

Answer: See Amendment No. 0002 – Polyethylene Mesh Safety Fencing is to be installed prior to construction.

16. Please confirm that the new bid opening address is on Arch Street?

17. Amendment 0001 increased the Base Bid volume from 200,000 CY to 700,000

CY. Based on our calculations there is not enough material in the borrow area to cover the Base Bid and all the Options. If necessary, will the dredge depth be increased to get the required volume from the borrow area? What happens if there is an insufficient volume of material within the borrow area to complete the project?
