SECTION SF 30 BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following items are applicable to this modification:

SUMMARY OF CHANGES

B. USACE RESPONSE TO CONTRACTOR’S QUESTIONS:

QUESTION 1: Will equipment be allowed on the pier during construction? There is sand/sediment covering a significant stretch of the pier. Can you provide a max allowable weight for a skid steer or small excavation equipment?

RESPONSE 1: Equipment loading on the pier is limited to 100 pounds per square foot (psf) due to the uncertainty of the underlying condition of the pier. No equipment is allowed on the finished sections of the pier. (see updated sheet S‐101)

QUESTION 2: (S‐104 Typical West Face Plate Elevation & Typical East Face Plate Elevation) Is it correct that each monolith sections 1‐24 will have end plates on the East and West face plates? So the steel face plates for each monolith (east & center & west as one structure) will be a separate structure not conjoined with the adjacent monolith in one continuous protective barrier?

RESPONSE 2: That is correct. The face plates of one monolith are not connected to the adjacent monolith face plates. There is a nominal ½” gap between the two. See the TYPICAL MONOLITH PLAN on Sheet S‐101. There is a ¼” joint clearance between the existing monolith joint and end of the face plates therefore adjacent face plates will be ½”apart ( ¼ “ + ¼” = ½” ).

QUESTION 3: (S‐104)

Relating to Item #1, if each monolith is to have end plates and the monolith end plates are to be butted up to the adjacent monolith, is there a joint sealant or some waterstop to prevent ice build‐up between monoliths and to prevent the freeze thaw cycle from damaging the newly placed concrete monolith repairs?

RESPONSE 3: As indicated in the response to Item #2, the plates do not butt up together. No waterstop or sealant is required.

QUESTION 4: (S‐102, S‐103, S‐104)

Is it correct that all face plates, east & west & and center, on north & south & east walls, shall have "variation adjustment plate, typ." along bottom of all steel sheeting?

RESPONSE 4: Only on the North side plates as shown in the sections on Sheets S‐104 and Sections A and B on Sheet S‐109.

QUESTION 5: (S‐103, S‐109)

Is there detail drawing for "clip angle to angle, typ." as shown on Face Plate Elevations for Plate Frame Angle as shown on detail B ? Clip angle size & dimensions?

W912P6-16-B-0012

RESPONSE 5: Please see updated Sheet S‐103 SOUTH ELEVATION, TYPICAL CENTER FACE PLATE ELEVATION, TYPICAL WEST FACE PLATE ELEVATION, and SECTION B for clip angle size and dimensions.

D. This amendment provides acknowledgement to include Wage Rates for General Decision IL160018 01/22/2016 IL18 for Dredging and Marine work to be completed with this project. These wage rates are in addition to General Decision IL160011 07/15/2016 IL11 listed in original solicitation.

E. Contractor’s will be restricted from performing any work from November 1, 2016 through March 15, 2017.

Contractor’s can expect to see this requirement included in the 401 Water Quality Permit and thus, must adhere to it..

CLASSIFICATION DESCRIPTIONS

Class I - Master Mechanic - assist and direct Class II, Class III, and Class IV, diver/wet tender, engineer (hydraulic dredge) Class II-A Crane/Backhoe Operator, 70 Ton or over Tug Operator, Mechanic/Welder, assistant engineer(hydraulic dredge), leverman (hydraulic dredge), diver tender

Class II-B Friction, Lattice Boom, or any Crane Certifications Class III - Deck Equipment Operator (Machineryman) Maintenance of Crane (over 50 ton capacity) or Backhoe (115,000 pounds or more), Tug/launch operator, Loader/dozer and like equipment on Barge, breakwater wall, slip/dock, Scow, Deck Machinery, etc.

Class IV - Deck Equipment Operator(Machineryman/Fireman) (Four equipment units or more) Off Road Trucks, Deck Hand, Tug Engineer and Crane Maintenance 50 ton capacity and under or Backhoe weighing 115,000 pounds or less, assistant tug operator.

WELDERS - Receive rate prescribed for craft performing operation to which welding is incidental.

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)).

The body of each wage determination lists the classification and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of "identifiers" that indicate whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local), a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate (weighted union average rate).

Union Rate Identifiers

A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than "SU" or "UAVG" denotes that the union classification and rate were prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:

PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of the union which prevailed in the survey for this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198 indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1, 2014.

Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing this classification and rate.

Survey Rate Identifiers

Classifications listed under the "SU" identifier indicate that no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As this weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non-union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a new survey is conducted.

Union Average Rate Identifiers

Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate that no single majority rate prevailed for those classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010 08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is based.

WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS

1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be:

* an existing published wage determination

* a survey underlying a wage determination

* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter

* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling

On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.)

and 3.) should be followed.

With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal process described here, initial contact should be with the Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to:

Branch of Construction Wage Determinations Wage and Hour Division U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an interested party (those affected by the action) can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator (See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to:

Wage and Hour Administrator U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the interested party's position and by any information (wage payment data, project description, area practice material, etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue.

3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to:

Administrative Review Board U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

4.) All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final.
