C. USACE RESPONSES TO CONTRACTOR’S QUESTIONS FOLLOW:

Question 1: Please advise what coating system needs to be applied to the plates. Spec sections 05 50 15 3.6 Finishes, and 09 97 02 Painting Hydraulic Structures do not specify.

USACE RESPONSE 1: "As per 09 97 02 paragraph 3.5, all surfaces of lock wall armor plates are to receive System No. 5-E-Z per the painting schedule."

Question 2: Please confirm all plates are hot dip galvanized per ASTM A123.

USACE RESPONSE 2: "As per 09 97 02 paragraph 3.5, all surfaces of lock wall armor plates are to receive System No. 5-E-Z per the painting schedule."

Question 3: Please advise if only the water side of the armor plates need to be painted or do both sides need to be painted?

USACE RESPONSE 3: "Yes, both sides of the armor plates are to be painted as per 09 97 02 paragraph 3.5. The painting schedule states that "All surfaces of lock wall armor plate panels and Vertical Ladders" are to receive System No. 5-E-Z."

Question 4: Further clarification is needed since the E-Z-5 coating system specifies a white metal blast cleaning that would strip the galvanizing off of the plates.

USACE RESPONSE 4: Are all steel plates galvanized or only specific items and if so, which items.

Question 5: If the steel plates are both galvanized and applied with the E-Z-5 Coating System there is a conflict with the Coating System successfully applying to galvanized surfaces.

W912P619B0021

USACE RESPONSE 5: "As per specification section 09 97 02, paragraph 3.5, all surfaces of lock wall armor plates and vertical ladders are to be painted with paint system 5-E-Z, not hot dipped galvanized."

Question 6: We’ve sent the insurance requirements found in the bidding documents to our Agent for review. Is Pollution Liability or any kind of Marine Insurance required. We didn’t see it mentioned. If so, what limits are required?

USACE RESPONSE 6: The insurance requirements are clearly delineated in Division 1 of the Specifications, Section 01 10 00 Pages 5 and 6. Requirements are set forth therein and speak to directly to ALL that's needed/required meaning if it’s not mentioned, it’s not required.

D. This Amendment includes the attendance sheet from the Pre-Bid Meeting. (see Attachment)
