8756464 Utilities Engineering GI004 Utility Conflict

Table

Comment Classification: Unclassified\\For Official Use Only (U\\FOUO)

Will additional information for Utility conflicts be given? Replace and Repair resolutions are broad and can only be assumed without further clarifications.

I.e. 51. 118+20 Brainard Ave 8" Sanitary : Replace length of VC with DI.

What quantifies the length to satisfy utility owner? Is it from manhole to manhole or just in the footprint of the proposed piping?

Government Response. . Augusta Utilities Department (AUD) will provide USACE and bidders with a firm lump sum cost proposal to perform work on AUD utility assets to resolve the utility conflicts listed in Table 1 Utility Conflicts on plan sheet GI004. Please note as described in the resolution column that the Outfall X Contractor will remove and dispose of AUD utilities noted as abandon and remove utilities that are within the excavation limits to construct the storm sewer. This work by the Outfall X Contractor is not included in the AUD cost proposal.

AUD is working to design resolutions to each conflict, which will consist of standard details and/or specific designs appropriate for each conflict difficulty. In general, AUD will attempt to minimize disturbance to AUD's systems. For example, cutting and replacing smaller sanitary sewer lines are expected to be limited to the storm drain excavation limits. However, the sanitary sewer trunk main crossings will require a significant more effort to resolve.

AUD expects to work closely with the Outfall X Contractor regarding the project scheduling to coordinate AUD work that may be done prior to, during, or in sequence with Outfall X storm drain construction On:

Government Response. . All known utility conflicts associated with project are identified in GI004 Utility

Conflict Table. Utility information is approximate however, and more conflicting conditions may exist than are shown on the plans. Contractor shall confirm all existing utilities prior to the start of construction.

Unforeseen or differing conditions will have to be addressed during construction. On: Aug 17 2020

Comment Classification: Unclassified\\For Official Use Only (U\\FOUO)

A Discrepancy between the Demolition and Plan/Profile sheets was discovered concerning the existing 30" RCP found between 31+00 to 43+00.

The Demolition plans do not recognize any action to be made to this pipe or it's structures (AIP,REMOVE,RETAIN) between Provost Ave and Avenue of the States.

CG111 Notes to Retain the 30" RCP along with the Existing CB at the corner of AOS. If following the proposed retained pipe, there is no Inverts provided for Structure A15.

It also does not appear to be any ditch grading in this area proposed, please clarify the intent of moving the surface water to the new structures.

Please Clarify the intent of the pipe and structure beyond this retained structure.

On: Aug 15 2020.

Government Response. . Responses are provided directly below each inquiry as follows:

Inquiry: discrepancy concerning 30" RCP between 31+00 to 43+00 Response: The existing line is to remain in parallel with the proposed line. An adjustment is made to structure A5 to reconnect to the existing line at Provost Ave on CG108. This change shifts the upstream Stationing about 5 feet upstream of this point on sheets CG108-113.

Inquiry: The Demolition plans do not recognize any action to be made to this pipe or it's structures (AIP, REMOVE, RETAIN) between Provost Ave and Avenue of the States.

Response: A note is added to the Demolition Plan sheet CD103 and CD105 to Retain this pipe segment and the associated structures.

Inquiry: Question regarding inverts for Structure A15

Response: Inverts for proposed pipes at Structure A15 are shown on the profile on CG111.

Inquiry: It also does not appear to be any ditch grading in this area proposed, please clarify the intent of moving the surface water to the new structures.

Response: New pipe/structures are for additional conveyance capacity of piped system. Surface water will continue to flow into the existing inlets in parallel to the new line.

8783778 Specifications Geotechnical Design Report Comment Classification: Unclassified\\For Official Use Only (U\\FOUO)

The supplemental Geotechinical Report, section 3.9.2 states "Crushed stone should be placed around the pipelines as shown on the Contract Drawings and extend from a minimum of 6 inches below the pipe to the pipe springline."

The contract drawings do not indicate a typical section for RCP installation. A previous question submitted regarding pipe bedding was answered by the Government and refers Contractors to GDOT Standard 1031d1 and 1031d2.

When looking at the GDOT standard drawings, no pipe bedding is indicated. Due to conflicting answers, will the Government please clarify the bedding requirements as it pertains to RCP installation?

Government Response. . GDOT Standards 1030d1 and 1030d2 were intended for reference in

Amendment 1 and include the bedding details. On: Aug 24 2020 Current Request Status: Request Closed

Information for this report is procurement sensitive.

8783828 Specifications Geotechnical Design Report Comment Classification: Unclassified\\For Official Use Only (U\\FOUO)

The supplemental Geotechnical Report, section 4.5.3, states "We recommend that SMP's, DMP's, ESMP's, and crack monitors be established ont he existing structures and utilities within 50 feet of the excavations. The points should be monitored during demolition, support of excavation installation, excavation, foundation installation, and backfilling work." This is not typical industry standard for pipe installation and will add a significant as well as unnecessary cost.

Will the Government please clarify if the Contractor will be mandated to implement SMP's, DMP's, ESMP's, and crack monitoring?

On: Aug 20 2020.

Government Response. . These recommendations are not required in the specifications and therefore are at the Contractor's discretion. On: Aug 24 2020 Current Request Status: Request Closed

Information for this report is procurement sensitive.

8783845 Specifications Geotechnical Design Report Comment Classification: Unclassified\\For Official Use Only (U\\FOUO)

The supplemental Geotechnical Report, section 4.5.4, states that "A minimum of two seismographs should be located at adjacent/nearby structures and utilities during all demolition, excavation support installation, and pile installation activities to confirm compliance with the recommendations herein and record actual impact vibrations." While it is understandable for vibratory monitoring when installing pile, is it actually the Government's intention for vibratory monitoring during demolition? This will result in a significant and unnecessary cost when considering the amount of pipe demolition scheduled for the project. Please clarify if this requirement is will be mandatory.

The supplemental Geotechnical Report, section 4.9, states "It is recommended that a qualified Geotechnical Engineer or experienced technician under the direction of the Geotechnical Engineer be present during construction to confirm that the Contractor complies with the intent of these recommendations." Having a geotechinical engineer on site at all times during construction will result in significant and unnecessary cost, as this is not typical of pipe installation. Will the Government please clarify if the Contractor will be mandated to have a Geotechnical Engineer on site at all times during construction?
