a. Can the Owner please clarify the project magnitude?

Answer #2: (Revised SF 30 and Section 01 11 00)

Question #3: Can the Owner please provide Plan Sheets for Line Items 0004 and 0005?

Question #4: Can the Owner please provide Cross Sections and current XYZ data for the Borrow Areas?

Answer #4: Yes, xyz data is available. See file In FBO with this amendment.

Question #5: Page 13 of Section 01 50 00 contains the following bullet point for Government Field Office Requirements:

• “Provide 2 vehicles with 4-wheel drive, less than 3 years old (minimum 6 passengers) for

Government's use. Maintenance of the vehicles including all fuel, State inspections, and required insurance shall be the Contractor's responsibility.”

Further, page 14 contains the following bullet point for the same section:

• “The Contractor shall also supply 2 vehicles with gas cards sufficient to cover the duration of the project for Government's official use. These vehicles shall be a utility vehicle type, seven passenger with 4-wheel drive not more than 3 years old. Insurance, registration, and fuel and maintenance of the vehicle including State Inspections shall be the contractor's responsibility.”

a. Will the Contractor be required to provide 2 vehicles or 4 vehicles for the Government?

Answer #5: Two vehicles.

Question #6: Section 01 45 00, Paragraph 3.4.1 states the requirements for the CQC organization to include a Safety and Health Manager. Can this Safety and Health Manager have other roles such as SSHO or Quality Control Manager?

Answer #6: No, Safety and Health Manager cannot have other roles.

Question #7: Is the Contractor allowed to perform its own Grain Size Analysis, as discussed in Paragraph 1.6.m. in Section 31 24 00?

Answer #7: Yes. Added language to 31 24 00 for core analysis: "Core Analysis. Sieving will be done using recently calibrated sieves, with sieve graduations at half phi intervals on the Wentworth scale. Sieving will include a quality control program for repeat sieving of one standard sample during the core analysis study. Tabulated results will report median size in millimeters as well as phi units. Results of the sieving will be plotted as grain size distribution and the mean, median, and standard deviation computed for each sample collected."

Question #8: Can the Government confirm that any bird nesting surveys (i.e. for Piping Plover or Roseate Tern) will be provided at the expense of the Government?

Answer #8: Yes, beginning on 15 March 2020 and continuing through the breeding season (15 August) or the date of the last fledging, a Corps’ biologist(s) or designated representative(s) shall survey and monitor the action area and identify plover territorial, courtship and nesting areas. The USACE will also provide the Contractor any survey data obtained from NJDEP/NJFWS.

Question #9: Can the Government confirm that the Contractor is only required to provide a UXO Technician on the beach, and if a UXO Technician is required on the dredge, an equitable adjustment in pricing will be made?

Answer #9: Yes.

Question #10: According to the Solicitation, all work must be completed 120 days after NTP, which coincides with the required completion date of March 1, 2020. The Solicitation also states that additional time will be considered for any options that are exercised.

a. For planning purposes, can the Owner please provide an amount of days allowed for each option, so that the Contractor can plan accordingly?

b. Because the 120 day allotment ends on or around March 1, 2020, it appears that should any options be awarded, the Contractor should receive more days which would push them past the March 1, 2020 deadline. How does the Government plan on allowing Contractors to work the optional reaches if they are past the March 1, 2020 deadline?

Answer #10: The government may exercise options within 150 day of NTP. If options are exercised within 60 days of notice to proceed (NTP), the Contractor shall be required to complete the entire base and options work exercised by March 1, 2020. If options are exercised after 60 days of NTP, the Contractor shall be required to complete the option work that is exercised (post 60 days of NTP) no later than March 1, 2021. All option work, if exercised, must be complete by March 1, 2021. Optional CLIN for mobilization/ demobilization may be exercised if option work exercised exceeds the March 1, 2020 restriction. The USACE will coordinate with the contractor to maximize the placement area next to adjacent base sections.

Question: #11: According to the Solicitation, all work must be completed by March 1, 2020, due to environmental restrictions. What are the environmental restrictions?

Answer #11: No work beyond March 1st is per the USFWS Programmatic Biological Opinion and subsequent USACE coordination with USFWS for the protection of piping plovers under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act.

Question: #12: Previous Contracts in the same vicinity have occurred year round. Would the Government consider removing the March 1st restriction and allow Contractor to implement endangered species surveyors/biologists if necessary?

Answer #12: USACE is currently coordinating with USFWS and maintaining compliance with the USFWS Programmatic Biological Opinion.

Question: #13: Would the Owner please consider allowing Contractors 365 days to complete the Work in lieu of the 120 days?

a. If 365 days is not considered, would the Owner please consider allowing Contractors to start after March 1st, 2020?

Answer #13:The government may exercise options within 150 day of NTP. If options are exercised within 60 days of notice to proceed (NTP), the Contractor shall be required to complete the entire base and options work exercised by March 1, 2020. If options are exercised after 60 days of NTP, the Contractor shall be required to complete the option work that is exercised (post 60 days of NTP) no later than March 1, 2021. All option work, if exercised, must be complete by March 1, 2021. Optional CLIN for mobilization/ demobilization may be exercised if option work exercised exceeds the March 1, 2020 restriction. The USACE will coordinate with the contractor to maximize the placement area next to adjacent base sections.

RFI SET #2:

Question #1: We have noted the presence of an environmental window in the specifications, restricting work after March 1st. historically, dredging and beach fill has been performed in this area outside of this window. In addition, this puts a significant restraint on the ability of the government to award options, based on this schedule.

Please confirm that the environmental window will apply to this project.

Answer #1: Yes, environmental window will apply to this project.

Question #2: Please clarify the number of additional days allowed for options, should they be awarded.

Answer #2: The government may exercise options within 150 day of NTP. If options are exercised within 60 days of notice to proceed (NTP), the Contractor shall be required to complete the entire base and options work exercised by March 1, 2020. If options are exercised after 60 days of NTP, the Contractor shall be required to complete the option work that is exercised (post 60 days of NTP) no later than March 1, 2021. All option work, if exercised, must be complete by March 1, 2021. Optional CLIN for mobilization/ demobilization may be exercised if option work exercised exceeds the March 1, 2020 restriction. The USACE will coordinate with the contractor to maximize the placement area next to adjacent base sections.

Question #3: The referenced specification states that working hours for dredging are 24 hours per day, 7 days per week; however, it also states that local government approval is required to ensure compliance with local ordinances and local boards. Please confirm that dredging and beach fill operations will not be limited to reduced hours based on any local ordinances.

Answer #3: Yes, dredging and beach fill operations will not be limited to reduced hours based on any local ordinances.

Question #4: The referenced specification states that the Air Program Manager, through the Contracting Officer, must be notified at least 6 months prior to bringing equipment to the construction site so that air permits can be secured. Given the accelerated schedule for this project, please confirm that the permits have already been secured or that the minimum 6 month notification requirement will be waived.

Answer #4: The Air Program Manager has already been notified of the equipment type and schedule and work is approved to proceed. Please reference contractor's air emissions requirements, such as the submission of monthly calculators, in section 01 11 35

Question #5: Plan Sheet Detail with survey data for Stations 435+00 to 421+00 (Options 1-2) appears to be missing. Can the government please provide this information?

Answer #5: Yes, sheet C-112 was added. See file In FBO with this amendment.

Question #6: The General Plan Sheet and Detailed Plan Sheets for Options 23-24 indicate different fill area stationing from the CLIN Schedule. Please clarify the fill stationing for Options 23-24 and provide revised drawings, if necessary.

Answer #6: Yes, bid schedule was revised. See file In FBO with this amendment.

Question #7: Please provide the most recent hydrographic survey data for the borrow areas available for use on this project, preferably in XYZ format.

Answer #7: Yes, xyz data is available. See file In FBO with this amendment.

Question #8: Please provide the current water quality certificate, including terms and conditions, applicable to this project.

Answer #8: The following are applicable WQC, including terms and conditions. See specifications section 00 90 01 and files added to FBO with this amendment:

1) 1995 NJDEP Federal Consistency Determination Water Quality Certificate (FedCon/WQC) for the Beach Erosion Control Project Section II Asbury Park to Manasquan Monmouth County

2) 1990 WQC Beachfill from Seabright to Ocean Township, NJ

Question #9: The magnitude for this project differs in the SF1442 and in Section 01 11 00. Please clarify.

Answer #9: Revised SF 30 and Section 01 11 00.

Question #10: The referenced specification states that beach fill work should start at Station 457+00 and proceed generally south to north. Please confirm that contractors be allowed to land the pipeline and pump fill material in both directions, in order to manage pipeline lengths and optimize production.

Answer #10: Yes, contractor will be allowed to pump fill material in both directions on condition that the contractor will pump fill material to the south first, then to the north.

Question #11: The CLIN Schedule notes that options will be awarded linearly South to North, as to not impede on the placement work plan. Please confirm that any options will be awarded prior to completion of the adjacent base sections and will not require re-mobilization of the contractor’s pipeline.

Answer #11: Note was revised. Options to be placed by March 1, 2020, may be exercised within 60 days after NTP. If any other option is exercised within 150 days of NTP, work must be completed by March 1, 2021. If options are exercised they will be awarded to maximize placement adjacent to base bid area. Optional CLIN for mobilization/demobilization may be exercised if option work exercised exceeds the March 1, 2020 restriction.
