SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE (SF 30)

The following have been added by full text:

AMENDMENT 0001

This amendment incorporates the following revision(s) to the solicitation:

- Section 01 57 20.00 10 – Environmental Protection, Paragraph 1.14 – Protection of Environmental Resources, the following is added:

“The contractor must avoid impacts to shellfish beds and Sub Aquatic Vegetation outside of the authorized channel limits. The contractor must notify NJDEP Marine Resources Administration Bureau of Marine Habitat and Shellfisheries of and is fully responsible for any impacts or damage to these resources outside of the channel limits.

The contractor must take all necessary precautions to avoid impacts to shellfish beds and Sub Aquatic Vegetation within the channel limits and outside of dredging footprint.

Work must be sequenced in a manner that ensures that any work in the south branch near SAV habitat must occur outside the SAV growing season of 15 April – 15 October. The NJDEP SAV habitat map can be found attached to this amendment.

BIDDER’S QUESTIONS AND GOVERNMENT REPLY

The following questions and answers are provided for information only. Nothing contained below amends or revises any provision of the solicitation. This is for bidder’s reference only, and is not to be considered as a part of the Contract Documents.

Contract award will be based on what is contained in the printed Plans and Specifications in a hard copy format or Electronic Bid Set if provided and as posted on SAM.Gov.

Q1. Specifications require completion of the project in 41 days from the NTP. If the NTP is granted in mid-August, the 41 days will expire prior to the beginning of the allowable in river work window for environmental constraints (fish window).

Can the required completion date for the project be changed to match the end of the fall/winter work window which closes on 1/15/24? Requiring the project to be completed within 41 days from the NTP also leaves insufficient time for approval of submittals.

W912DS23B0018

A1. NTP will be issued with sufficient time to ensure that all work can be completed outside the environmental no dredging windows. It is anticipated that NTP will be issued in August/September 2023, work can begin in the river as early as 1 July 2023. The environmental window of 15 April- 15 October is only applicable for work near SAV habitat. All submittals shall be submitted after award, prior to NTP and the preconstruction meeting, and therefore should not impact the project completion within the required performance period.

Q2. The 41-day work window to complete all work for the job seems aggressive given the work that needs to be completed. Please consider increasing the days.

A2. The required period of performance is based on a required production rate of 2,000 CY a day. This rate is based on prior projects of similar parameters and size, including the 2009 and 2013 maintenance dredging of Shrewsbury River, NJ. Due to the pumping distance and need for use of the NJDOT pipeline under Route 36, the time for mobilization and demobilization will be increased by 15 calendar days from 20 days to 35 days. This will increase the total period of performance from 41 days to 56 days.

Q3. Are there any culverts that can be used for the pipeline to cross Highway 36 onto the beach? If not, is a ramp as described in the specifications allowable to cross the highway?

A3. A pipeline crossing exists under Route 36 for access to the beach, in the approximate location of Seacrest Road. As stated in specification section 31 24 00.00 18 Beach Fill Placement paragraph 1.7 Quality Control: the contractor must coordinate with New Jersey Department of Transit (NJDOT) and all other applicable agencies to obtain all necessary permits which allow access to the placement site, including use of the pipeline crossing under Route 36.
