MEETING DETAIL:

INTRODUCTION: (W. Kamad) Discussed bid due date. Bids are due 21-MAY and will be opened at 3PM at the Buffalo District Office. All contractors on the call are to send W. Kamad an email that provides their names which will be used to send them the teleconference minutes.

All bidders have until 15-MAY to submit written RFP questions. USACE will respond in writing, copying in all bidders.

There will be no USACE sponsored site visit. Any contractor is welcome to visit the site by themselves.

CONCERNS: (D. Finger) Concerned that the schedule will be very difficult to produce the large armor stone and initate in-water work in 2015. Prefer to start in-water work 1 JUL 2016. This concern was shared by R. Quandt.

1) Will there be a new performance period? After the teleconference USACE discussed the schedule and concluded that NTP will remain the same with a revised expectation that in-water work will begin 1 JUL 2016, ending on 30 NOV 2016. Additionally, the Corps would be receptive to petitioning ODNR for in-water waiver if the successful contractor wanted to initiate work prior during the restriction period of 15-APR to 30-JUN.

SPECIFICATIONS: (K. Maccarone) Identified the in-water restriction is stated in P&S package Section 0135.13, paragraph 1.2.1 "Commencement".

The teleconference was adjourned when participants had nothing further to bring up.
