Bidder Inquiry 07: Please advise the bidders as to how the Government will be addressing the current and foreseeable volatile market conditions that are causing Force Majeure conditions for contractors who are incurring daily and weekly price increases on the types of materials and services that are major cost components for this project such as: Fuel, Trucking, Asphalt, Cement, Concrete, Steel, etc. The Government needs assure the Bidders that the Contractor for this project will be compensated for cost increases that can be documented and attributed to these unprecedented Force Majeure market conditions over which the Contractor has no control.

Government Response: The bids submitted shall be a firm fixed price bid.

Bidder Inquiry 08: Sheets C-509 and C-510 show a PZ22 Sheet Pile Cut-Off Wall under the Headwalls of Drainage Structure C3-1 & C3-4. The Cut-Off Wall details show a Tip Elevation of Minus 25 feet, which conflicts with the 10 foot depth that is also shown. Please clarify which is correct: the tip elevation or the 10’ depth.

Government Response: Sheets C-509 and C-510 have been corrected and will be issued in the upcoming Amendment 5.

Bidder Inquiry 09: Please confirm our interpretation that the costs of the Sheet Pile Cut-Off Walls are to be included in the price for Drainage Structure C3-1 and C3-4.

Government Response: Yes, the sheet pile cut off wall for the headwalls shall fall under the drainage structure. Cut off wall with levee or flood shall fall under the respective structure

Bidder Inquiry 10: Please note that the Headwalls shown on Sheet C-509 & C-510 cannot be Precast Concrete as detailed on those drawings, and these structures will need to be cast-in-place. Therefore, we request that the reference to a Precast Headwall be removed from those two drawings.

Government Response: The structures are permitted to be cast in place. The word precast in the section titles will be revised to read “concrete.”

Bidder Inquiry 11: Item 0017 - Option 1: Note stating that “This line item is NOT PRICED and is for INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES only.” Does it mean that none of the work shown on drawing C-101C and related, such as the swale excavation, headwall BA-1, manhole BA-1 among others are to be performed under this Contract? If that’s the case, it makes little sense for items 0017AA and 0017AB. Please confirm.

Government Response: All work from STA 1+20BA through STA 6+20BA is part of Option 1 of this contract. The Government will amend the bid schedule to add a CLIN 0017AC to bid on all other material and labor not included in 0017AA 0017AB required to construct from STA 29+80 through STA 37+30 and STA 0+00RR through STA 12+54RR.

Bidder Inquiry 12: In a related issue, there is a net amount blank field under option 17, does it mean that bidders have to enter an amount for this item in spite of the note cited above? This situation repeats itself through several bid items. Please clarify.

Government Response: Similar to the above response, an additional sub clin will be added to 0018 and 0019 to allow for bidding of all other material and labor not included in current sub clins.

Bidder Inquiry 13: Drawing C-101G: There is an note “End Retaining Wall” at Sta 34+15. Please provide cross sections and details of said retaining wall.

Government Response: CLIN 0021 and 0022 are for soil characterization found during construction which are not current captured in the boring reports.

Bidder Inquiry 15: Due to the significant and complex nature of the scope of the work on the project, the time required for contractor design of temporary works, and the time required to coordinate with specialty subcontractors and material suppliers, please provide an extension to the bid of at least three (3) weeks until May 17, 2022.

Government Response: Please see Amendment 4 extending bid opening to 16-JUN-22.

Bidder Inquiry 25: The NJDEP Permit included in Section 00 31 46 indicates that the permittee shall submit proof of purchase for 1.70 mitigation credits if it is purchasing credits from a mitigation bank to satisfy a mitigation requirement.

However, the Wage Rates included in Section 00 90 00 (or 01 00 00) of the Specifications via the PDF document titled “W912DS22B0003.PDF” indicates the Construction Type as “Heavy Dredging” and provides Wage Rates accordingly.

Bidder Inquiry 37: The bid proposal for this contract includes numerous Optional Bid Items that cover a significant amount of work that may or may not be awarded, and the current wording allows the Government up to 18 Months to decide if the Optional Work will be awarded. Please be advised that this approach to awarding the Optional Work is not an acceptable contracting approach and it needs to be revised. The Government needs to provide the Contractor with a go/no-go decision on the Optional Work within 30 days of making an award of the base contact so that the Contractor and its Subcontractors can properly plan and schedule the work, and so that they can secure the necessary resources to execute the work. Also, the Government needs to recognize that the current unprecedented and volatile market conditions prevent most manufacturers, suppliers, trucking companies, and subcontractors from holding or forecasting their prices for more than a month, let alone 18 months. Therefore, it is extremely important for this issue to be promptly addressed, and we request that a revised bid proposal be issued ASAP to revise the Optional Work award language accordingly.

Government Response: To continue to move forward with this project, the current time to award options will not change. Please bid on the bid schedule options based on the allowable award timeframes.

Bidder Inquiry 38: With regard to Optional Item #0028 – Wetlands Mitigation Bank Credits, the current wording allows the Government to take up to 18 Months to decide if this Optional Item will be awarded. Please be advised that it is not possible for the Contractor to obtain firm pricing at bid time from Wetland Banks that would remain firm for that 18-month period of time. Therefore, we request that one of the two following revisions be made to the bid proposal: (a) either remove this Optional Work Item from the bid proposal, or (b) make the go/no-go decision on the award of this Optional Item within 30 days of making an award of the base contract

Government Response: The time to exercise this Optional Item #0028 – Wetlands Mitigation Bank Credits has been reduced to 6 months.

Bidder Inquiry 38: Please clarify the bidding quantity for Optional Item #0028 – Wetlands Mitigation Bank Credits. The bidding quantity is shown as 1.04, but the Unit is shown as “JOB”. We assume that the Unit is supposed to be “ACRE”. Please clarify.

Government Response: The unit is not ACRE but CREDIT.

Bidder Inquiry 39: Please note that the following bid items in the bid proposal contain the following wording “This line item is NOT PRICED and is for INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES only”. We find this language to be very confusing because each one of these bid items appears to cover work that should be priced-out, and each one of these bid items has space to under the Amount Column for pricing to be provided. Please issue a revised bid proposal ASAP to correct this confusing language so that the bidders know what should be done with these bid items.

The time to exercise this option is not for determining whether or not the Contractor needs to provide this insurance, this option may be exercised, instead it is the time provided to formally exercise the option.

Bidder Inquiry 41: Specification Section 00 24 00 “Evaluation Factors For Award”, part 1.1 states “to be provided by the Contracting Division”. No further information has been provided within this section. Please indicate what these factors will be.

Government Response: There are no evaluation factors for award, this is an Invitation for Bid.

Bidder Inquiry 42: Specification Section 01 11 00 “Scope of Work” part 1, paragraph 1.1a, states that the total contract time is 570 calendar days (19 months). If the Options are selected, they can be exercised within 570 calendar days of the NTP. Options 1, 2, and 3, if chosen, could require 6, 9 and 11 months respectively in order to complete. The last sentence of this section states that no additional days shall be added to the contract duration.
