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.)

Question 1. (Marine Ventures ) Section 01 57 20.00 10 "Environmental Protection" Paragraph

1.12 Protection of Environmental Resources states "Provide inspection coverage on a rotating , six (6) hours on and six (6) off basis. Does that mean that during a 24-hour monitoring period four different observers will be on watch e.g. one in the morning, one in the afternoon, one in the evening, and one during graveyard shift?

Answer 1. Environmental Observers shall not work no more than 6 hours at a time. Any other manning decisions are based on the labor and safety laws governing the vessel.

Question 2. Section 01 57 20.00 10 "Environmental Protection" Paragraph 1.12 Protection of Environmental Resources states "Rotate six (6) hour monitoring periods from week to week."

Must the observers switch monitoring periods on a weekly basis i.e. if an observer worked the morning shift one week then the following week that same observer must work a different shift but not the morning shift?

Answer 2. That is correct, the Environmental Observers they shall switch watch periods.

Please be aware that the quoted Section 01 57 20.00 10 "Environmental Protection", Section A "SOW for ESOs" Lines C and D are only applicable to work performed by Hopper Dredges from 15 June to 15 November. The Army Corps doubts that a hopper could complete the work, due to past inability of type.

Question 3. Do you know if there will be a UXO component to the project?

Answer 3. As solicited there is no provision for Unexploded Ordinance. No UXO has been found in recent prior maintenance dredging cycles.

Question 4. Is a chart / map available of the locations of the planned dredging operations?

Answer 4. The vicinity map and detail chart of the proposed dredging operation is included in the solicitation plans.
