SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION 00 10 00 - SOLICITATION/CONTRACT FORM

The required response date/time has changed from 28-Jun-2016 02:00 PM to 12-Jul-2016 02:00 PM.

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been added by full text:

AMENDMENT 0005

1. The following changes shall be made to the specifications and plans.

1) SPECIFICATIONS:

1-Section 35 41 00

a. Delete the following in paragraph 3 17 1.1:

All stones and rock fragments larger than 3 inches in any dimension shall be removed at the source prior to hauling to the fill.

b. Replace in its entirety in paragraph 3 17 1.1 with the following:

All stones and rock fragments larger than 4 inches in any dimension shall be removed at the source prior to hauling to the fill.

2) QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

(Questions that may be of general interest to all Offerors and/or the Government and that are not readily answered by the proceeding changes will appear below. These questions may have been paraphrased or altered to represent several questions regarding the same subject and/or simply revised to clarify and simplify the question(s). Questions and answers are issued to the Offerors “for information only ”and do not revise the solicitation, plans or specifications.).

Bullet 1: The plans do not specify what type of coating the reinforcing steel is required to have (if any) for the Flood Wall, Culverts, Headwalls and Drainage Chamber Sections. Please specify the type of coating required for the reinforcing steel in those concrete structures or if it is uncoated, black steel.

Corps Response: Drawing SF-801, note 3 under the Reinforcement heading mentions for all reinforcing steel for the wet well to be galvanized. Specification 03 20 00.00 10, paragraph 2.2.1 mentions the galvanizing requirement for the wet well. Specification 03 20 00.10 10 covers "floodwalls, culverts, headwalls, and drainage chambers". Paragraph 2.1 mentions reinforcing steel meeting ASTM A615 or A706. No coating is listed and no coating is required.

W912DS-16-B-0007

Bullet 2: Specification 35 41 00, Section 2.1.1 allows particles up to 4” in levee embankment material. Section 3.17.1.1 requires all stones larger than 3” be removed from levee embankment materials. Please resolve this difference in requirements.

Corps Response: Paragraph 3.17.1.1 stone size revised.

Bullet 3: Can excavated material be used to refill / backfill the levee inspection trench?

Corps Response: Specification 35 41 00, paragraph 1.2.6 includes inspection trench fill material in the same category as the rest of the levee embankment. Paragraph 3.9.2 requires compaction requirements for the trench to be the same as for the levee. Paragraph 3.16.1 similarly requires the inspection trench to be filled with the same material type as is to be placed immediately above, i.e., in the levee embankment. The trench shall be backfilled and compacted to the same requirements as the levee embankment using only materials satisfying the embankment requirements, i.e., select material as specified in paragraph 2.1.1. If the material excavated from the inspection trench satisfies this requirement, then it can be used.

Bullet 4: Are keyways and waterstops required for construction joints between the footing and stem of the floodwall? If so, can you please provide a detail?

Corps Response: No keyways or waterstops are required between the footing and the stem of the floodwall.

Bullet 5: Please provide a basis of design manufacturer(s) for the segmental block retaining wall.

Corps Response: Reference details on the plans and specification for the block retaining wall.

Contractor to research manufacturers.
