Contractor’s Inquiries

Q: Does Item 0005 include all seven (7) wells to be sampled and does not account for QA/QC samples or does it include the four wells identified in Item 0004 (G‐01, G‐02, G‐03, and G‐07) with two QA/QC samples and a source water sample?

A: Bid prices should be based on the description found in the Measurement and Payment Section. The quantity (7) includes one test per well (G‐01, G‐02, G‐03, and G‐07), two QA/QC sampling tests, and one source water sampling test.

Q: Item 0013 specifies a quantity of five (5). Does this assume the three wells (G‐04, G‐05, and G‐06) listed in the Measurement and Payment section 1.2.3.1 for this Item plus one QA/QC samples and a source water sample?

A: Bid prices should be based on the description found in the Measurement and Payment Section. The quantity (5) includes one test per well (G‐04, G‐05, and G‐06), one QA/QC sampling test, and one source water sampling test.

Q: The specifications say no bentonite or additives can be used that could affect water quality. Can those products be used during the overburden drilling only to assist in keeping the borehole open?

A: The use of bentonite or additives to the drilling fluid would be considered for the overburden drilling only. The Contractor should submit requested drilling fluid additives within the Drilling and Installation Work Plan (Reference Specification Section 33 24 13, Paragraph 1.2.1.b, DRILLING AND

INSTALLATION WORK PLAN).

Q: In the Section 33 24 13 Paragraph 3.1 it requires written approval from a utility company. If the utility company refuses to give permission in writing, will the JULIE/DIGGER one‐call “all‐clear” be an acceptable form of approval?

A: Any notification method as provided in the latest version of the J.U.L.I.E. 'Excavator Handbook' is acceptable (although written is preferred).
