SUMMARY OF CHANGES

The following have been added by full text:

AMENDMENT 00001

The purpose of this amendment is to answer the following question(s) regarding / incorporate the following revision(s) to the subject solicitation:

Bidder’s Question, Government Reply, Incorporated Revision (if applicable): Q1.

Please confirm the last date to submit bid clarifications.

A1. 26 June 2020.

Q2. In the plans provided, the dredge area outlined in the satellite imagery on sheet 2 is smaller than the dredge area outlined in the drawing on sheet 3. Kindly confirm which drawing has the correct dredge area.

A2. Maintenance Dredging of Perth Amboy Anchorage (W912DS-20-C-0011) Plans - Sheet 3 shows the most up-to date survey and in the greatest detail. The chart on Sheet 2 is for location purposes only.

Q3. Section 35 20 23.10 18 of the Specifications, Part 1.7.1 provides that the placement location within HARS will be provided at the Dredge Material Transport and Placement Meeting. As HARS covers an area of 15.7 square nautical miles, if possible please provide a general idea of which section or area of HARS will likely be assigned for this Project?

A3. The HARS Primary Remediation Area will likely be either PRA 6 or 9. The grid is not yet approved, but this would place material on the Eastern portion of the HARS, towards the North end.

Q4. Section 01 11 00 of the Specifications, Summary of Work, provides that the work will likely be performed within the approximate time period of August 2020 through November 2020.

Contrary to this timeline is the 120 day offer validity required in the Solicitation. Will the Government consider adjusting the required validity duration to 60 days? This will also enable the work schedule to be completed within sufficient time of the Winter Flounder dredging restriction of December 1.

A4. USACE will remain at the 120 day offer validity requirement.

Q5. The solicitation marks the magnitude of work at $1 million to $5 million, however, the Specifications provide a magnitude of $5 million to $10 million, which is more consistent with a project of this size. Please confirm.

A5. $5 million to $10 million due to probable shoal growth.

Q6. The Bid Schedule in Section 01 11 00 of the Specifications, Summary of Work, provides a dredging depth of -37ft. +2ft. OD MLLW for Dredge Area East. Please confirm whether this was an error and that the correct depth is -25ft. + 2ft. OD MLLW as referenced in the Plans.

A6. The Bid Schedule in Section 01 11 00 is in error and should read -25ft +2ft. OD MLLW.

Provided.

W912DS20B0011

Q7. The State of New Jersey Water Quality Certification in the Specifications, item number 1 prohibits dredging activities for the periods of 12/1 to 6/30, however, the New York State Department Water Quality Certification provided in the specifications prohibits dredging from 2/1 to 5/31 and 6/1 to 7/15.

Please clarify which restriction applies to this Project and confirm the overall no dredging window for the dredging works.

A7. The overall no-dredging window is inclusive of both New York and New Jersey no-dredge windows. Therefore, the overall no-dredge window is 12/1 to 7/15.

Q8. Kindly provide the full geotechnical report described on the information sheet under Section 00 90 01, for the geotechnical sampling performed by Aqua Survey Inc, particularly the Core Logs and Particle Size Distribution Curves.

A8. Provided.

Q9. Within the Instructions to Bidders state “Bids are due 01-Jul-2020 at 2:00 P.M. est however the reading of the bids will happen at 2:30 P.M. to allow for time to download the bids before they are read.

Bids received after 29-Jun-2020 at 2:00 P.M. est on https://safe.apps.mil/ will be considered late”.

Please clarify if the bid date is 01-Jul or 29-Jun.

A9. The bid opening date is 01 July 2020.

Q10. Section 01 30 00, pages 6-7 contain a table of cable crossings in the vicinity of the dredge area;

however, the majority do not provide concrete location detail, if any at all. Please provide the locations of all utilities that traverse the dredge area, as well as the associated As Built drawings, so that the contractor can safely plan the work.

A10. The Anchorage has been successfully dredged to the requested depth (39 ft. MLLW in the Northern Dredge Area and 27 ft. MLLW in the Eastern Dredge Area within the last 5 years. No new cabling / pipeline should be present by permit search. USACE will provide all known permits to the successful bidder after Award.
