SECTION 00 73 00 - SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

The following have been added by full text:

AMENDMENT 0004

W912DS-15-B-0013

Amendment No 0004 USACE, Department of the Army, NYD Corps of Engineers New York, NY 10278-0090 AMENDMENT NO.4 for IFB NO. W912DS-15-B-0013

The following changes shall be made to the specifications The New York District has received questions about the contract.

1-SPECIFICATIONS:

Section 00 73 00

1.32 INSURANCE PROCURED BY CONTRACTOR AND THE PORT AUTHORITY

1.32A INSURANCE PROCURED BY CONTRACTOR

Paragraph 1.32A revise sub paragraph “a.” as below :

“a. The Contractor shall procure and maintain during the entire period of its performance under this contract the following insurance policies:”

2-Questions and Answers:

The following questions and answers are provided for information only. Nothing contained below amends or revises any provision of the solicitation.

This is for bidder’s reference only, and is not to be considered as a part of the Contract Documents. Contract award will be based on what is contained in the printed Plans and Specifications in a hard copy format or Electronic Bid Set if provided. Responses do not revise the solicitation, plans or specifications.

Q1. Solicitation Section 00 73 00, Clause l .32A.a states "The Contractor shall procure, p , maintain limits, and pay deductibles (if necessary) during the entire period of its performance under this contract with contractual liability coverage covering the risks assumed and indemnification given by the Port Authority, under this Modification Agreement..". Does the USACE request the Contractor extend Contractual Liability insurance to the Port Authority's risks assumed and indemnification?

A1. Yes

Q2. Amendment 0003 Questions 18 - Please confirm that buckets will be allowed for the entire project, with the understanding that no teeth will be allowed over the utility corridors (Work Area 6).

A2. The Government would entertain a plan, as required by 35 20 23.00 18-5.3, that includes the use of a bucket with no teeth. However, 35 20 23.00 18-5.3.3 requires that “The work plan shall be developed in coordination with the utility owner and include a written approval from the Owners.” As 35 20 23.00 5.4.1.2 discusses only bar

W912DS-15-B-0013

levelling has been pre-coordinated with the utility owners. The Government cannot state that the owners will approve the use of a bucket with no teeth.

Q3. The answer to question 18 states there’s a work area 7? Is this a typo and it was meant to say “Area 6”? Please confirm that buckets area allow in work Area 6?

A3. The question is correct. The reference to “work area 7” is a mistake. Please see Revised Question and Answer below.

Q18. Please confirm that buckets will be allowed for the entire project, with the understanding that no teeth will be allowed over the utility corridors (Work Area 6).

A18. The use of buckets are un-restricted in work areas 1-5. Permits allow the use of buckets in Port Jersey, but with restrictions. See the permits further details. When working in Port Jersey be careful of underlying utility protection in place measures. Per 35 20 23.00 18-5.3 the Contractor will prepare a plan for removing the material in Work Area 6. This plan requires various approvals. See the referenced clause for further details
