IFB NO. W912DS-10-B-0011

Bid Opening hour and date are unchanged from 1 September 2010 at 2:00PM local time.

Question 1: Please refer to the contract plan sheet S-401, this plan sheet shows proposed North Abutment Plan. On this plan sheet is shown the proposed PZ22 Sheeting in 12'' wide trench (Typical). However specification section 31 43 16 page 8 calls for the installation of the sheeting using slurry trench method. Also see sheet S501 for the details and section of this proposed sheeting. Please confirm how this sheeting shall be installed, using the slurry trench method (as mentioned in the specifications) or by excavating 12'' wide trench (as shown on plans)? Your response for this question is very critical for us to submit bid proposal accurately and competitively so please expedite your response to this question.

Response: North abutment will be installed using the slurry trench method noted in section 31 43 16, The trench width is 12-inches as noted on sheet S-401. At this point we don’t see a need to make any revisions to the drawings.

Question 2: Does the I Wall section constructed with a fluted finish on one side or both sides?

No fluted finish is shown on the drawings.

Response:

There is no fluting called for on the I-Wall- station 0+36 to station 1+04.40.

Question 3: Top of T Wall, please see detail sheet 198, shows cap as poured in place. Detail for composite wall sheet 176 shows cap as precast. Please confirm which one is correct and is precast required or allowed for all caps on walls?

Top of Wall shown on Sheet 198 references detail on sheet S-523 (sheet 210). This Detail sheet calls out “precast concrete panel” Above Station 2+14, all tops are precast to provide access to electric conduit chase. From station 1+05 to station 2+14 top is cast in place (see detail 2 sheet S- 510)as no conduits extend west of station 2+14 and to provide a solid base to attach the fence on top of the wall.

Question 4: Detail section of the T Wall, please see sheet 198, shows 1'' Fluted fin texture on both sides of the wall (Riverside and Protected side) Detail on the sheet 208 and notes only require fluted fin texture on the protected side only. Please confirm which detail is correct?

Both details show fluted fin correctly as being on both river and protected sides of the wall.

Question 5: As per amendment # 007 page 3 of 8 paragraph 5 titled “ REPRESENTATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS” ,requires the bidders to submit a certification for “PROHIBITION OF SEGRERATED FACILITIES”. This paragraph also calls out that failure to submit this certification will render bidder or offeror non responsive to the terms of solicitations.

As you know this form has to be submitted at the time of bid opening so we request you to please expedite your response.
