SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been added by full text:

AMENDMENT 0001

Amendment 0001

Maintenance Dredging of Arthur Kill Reach

New York and New Jersey Channels

1. The purpose of this amendment is to revise the 2nd paragraph of Paragraph 1.2, Section 00800, revise the last paragraph of Paragraph 1.3.1.2, Section 012200, and too address the questions submitted below:

a. In Section 00800, Paragraph 1.2 delete the words “Any options will be exercised, at the

Government’s discretion, within five (5) calendar days of receipt by the Contractor of the Notice to Proceed…” and change to read “Any options will be exercised, at the Government’s discretion, within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt by the contractor of the Notice to Proceed…”

b. In Section 012200, Paragraph 1.3.1.2 delete the words “The total quantity of excavated material for which payment will be made will be the theoretical quantity between the ground surface as determined by a survey and the grade and slope of the theoretical cross sections indicated. No allowance will be made for overdepth excavation or for the removal of any material outside the required slope lines unless authorized” and change to read “The total quantity of dredged material for which payment will be made, will be by computing the volume between the bottom surface shown by soundings of the last survey made before dredging and the bottom surface shown by soundings of a survey made as soon as practicable after the entire work specified has been completed. No allowance will be made for the removal of any material outside the required slope lines unless authorized.”

2. Questions and Answers submitted below:

a. Reference: Bid Schedule Note 3 and Section 00800, paragraph 1.2 Note 3 states “Any options will be exercised 15 calendar days after receipt of the Notice to Proceed” and paragraph 1.2 states “Any options will be exercised within 5 calendar days of the Notice to Proceed”.

Question: Bid Note 3 and paragraph 1.2 contradict one another. How many days after the Notice to Proceed will options be exercised?

Answer: Options will be exercised 15 calendar days after receipt of the Notice to Proceed, if they are exercised at all.

b. Reference: Section 00902, Attachment A-2 and Section 352023, paragraph 1.5 Section 00902 Attachment A-2 states “The maximum volume of material to be removed (including overdredge) as part of this dredging cycle is approximately 75,000 cubic yards” and paragraph 1.5 states “The total amount of material to be removed shall be 83,780 cubic yards”.

Question: Attachment A-2 is the Water Quality Certification letter which limits the amount of material to 75,000 cubic yards; however, the total estimated quantity exceeds the limit. If all options are awarded will the Contractor be allowed to dredge more than 75,000 cubic yards?

Answer: Yes.

c. Reference: Section 012200, paragraph 1.3.1.2 Paragraph 1.3.1.2 states on page 2 “The total amount of material removed and paid for under the contract (bid Item Nos. 0002, 0003, 0004 and 0005) will be measured by the cubic yard dredged. Measurement of the number of cubic yards in place will be made by computing the volume between the bottom surface shown by soundings of the last survey made before dredging and the bottom surface shown by soundings of a survey made as soon as practicable after the entire work specified has been completed.” and later states on page 3 “The total quantity of excavated material for which payment will be made will be the theoretical quantity between the ground surface as determined by a survey and the grade and slope of the theoretical cross section indicated.”

Question: The sentences above contradict one another. Please clarify.

Answer: The last paragraph of Paragraph 1.3.1.2, Section 012200 has been revised (see paragraph 2 above) to be consistent with measurement portion of this section. .

3. Bid opening date will remain 23 April 2010 at 2:00 P.M. EST.
