SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE (SF 30)

The following have been added by full text:

SUMMARY OF CHANGES - AMDT 0001

B. AMENDED SPECIFICATION SECTIONS: The following Specification Sections have been revised. The revised sections are enclosed hereunder and replace the previously furnished sections.

a. 01 10 00 General Provisions: Paragraph 1.13 Minimum Amount of Insurance Required: Main change involved paragraph c. This paragraph discusses all the items that the selected insurance company must provide and compensation quantities.

b. 23 64 26: Paragraph 2.6.8 was removed because it is not needed for the project and the submittal register was updated to match the change made.

C. REVISED DRAWING SHEETS: The following Drawing Sheets have been revised and are hereunder enclosed, replacing the previously furnished respective sheet.

a. MD-101: The existing close loop pumps were bubbled to indicate to be removed.

b. M-603: Mechanical Schedules: The pulsar and rectifier pumps’ total dynamic head was corrected.

c. M-101: (1) The pipe schedule was corrected in note 3; (2) Note 7 was removed.

D. IMPORTANT BID NOTES: The following Sections have been revised. The revised sections are enclosed hereunder and replace the previously furnished sections.

a. BID GUARANTEE: All inquiries pertaining to this solicitation shall be submitted no later than 1:00PM CT on 21 Sept 2020.

b. VIRTUAL BID OPENING: The date and time of the Virtual Pre-Bid Meeting has been moved to 17 September 2020 at 10:00AM CT.

E. CONTRACTOR’S INQUIRIES: By this Amendment, the Chicago District, USACE responds to Contractor’s inquiries as follows:

INQUIRY #1: I am requesting if the Corps can clarify with a plan drawing what is required for the heat tracing as listed in Section 23 64 26, page 15, paragraph 2.6.8 and where it is required.

USACE RESPONSE INQUIRY #1: The para. 2.6.8, spec section 23 64 26 will be removed. A heat trace system is not needed for this job.

INQUIRY #2: I noticed on the chiller schedule notes it asks for "Variable Evaporator Flow". Looking at the piping diagram for the chilled water plant, I notice that the design is not laid out in a variable Primary configuration. I cannot notice a bypass with a control valve or any modulating control valves on the Heat Exchangers. I could just be seeing this incorrectly, so I was wondering if the intent here is to have variable primary flow? If not is the variable evaporator flow a requirement?

USACE RESPONSE INQUIRY #2: Yes, it is a variable flow evaporator. The chiller loop pump is equipped with VFD unit and it's part of the chiller unit package. The chiller loop piping layout, shown on the drawings, is external from the chiller unit and it does not show the closed loop pump. The VFD unit is shown on sheet M-501.

INQUIRY #3: Advise if any modification need to be done by the contractor to the existing Smith Root control system.

USACE RESPONSE INQUIRY #3: No modification of the existing SRI control system is required. However, the existing temperature, pressure or flow sensors that communicate with SRI control system, should be reused. The pump speed adjustment should be performed through the VFD units (no changes to the SRI control system should be done). The contractor needs to verify which sensors communicate with the existing SRI control system and re-install them on the new piping.

INQUIRY #4: Advise if the floor needs to be patched after the existing cooling tower is removed.

USACE RESPONSE INQUIRY #4: Patch existing cooling tower pad with grout.

INQUIRY #5: M-603 and M-604 have schedules for the pumps and associated VFDs, however, Drawing M-602 seems to show the existing pumps and VFDs to remain. Advise if the pumps and/or VFDs need to be replaced.

USACE RESPONSE INQUIRY #5: The existing close loop water pumps and the VFD units shall be replaced.

Sheet MD-101 will be revised to capture that requirement. Sheet MD-102 shows the pump's VFD units to be removed.

INQUIRY #6: The piping serving existing pumps does not have insulation. Confirm that the new piping between the pump inlet and heat exchanger does not need insulation.

USACE RESPONSE INQUIRY #6: The return pipe lines are required to be insulated.

INQUIRY #7: Advise on the thickness of the concrete wall the 6” pipes need to penetrate and if the wall needs to be scanned prior to coring.

USACE RESPONSE INQUIRY #7: Walls are 1' thick. Contractor shall avoid coring through reinforcement.

INQUIRY #8: Drawing M-101, Note #3 states all cooling pipes and associated fittings shall be CPVC SCH40. On the previous Barrier projects the piping was CPVC SCH80. Advise if it is to be CPVC SCH80.

USACE RESPONSE INQUIRY #8: Spec section 23 64 26, para. 2.3.1, required the CPVC pipes to be SCH80.

Note 3 on sheet M-101 will be revised to comply with the specifications.

INQUIRY #9: Drawing M-101, Note #7 states contractor to verify the connection points inside the pulser cabinets prior to the new pipes installation. Advise why the connection points need to be verified if the contractor is not making any connections in them.

USACE RESPONSE INQUIRY #9: The note will be removed.

F. AMENDMENT ACKNOWLEDGMENT: Please note that ALL amendments must be acknowledged.

Maximum observed stray current levels during step, reach, and touch potential testing have been as high as 346 Volts peak to peak. This corresponds to 346 mA over a 1000 ohm resistor. The current located on and around the site is pulsed direct current which can be measured with a digital oscilloscope capable of producing a visual readout of the wave form to assess the peak to peak voltage. A conventional voltage meter without the ability to visualize the wave form will be inadequate to adequately assess the peak to peak voltage of the pulsed direct current on site. The stray current intensity at any given locale may be dependent upon factors such as soil moisture, canal water conductivity, and operational characteristics of the barrier facility.

The contractor will be expected to develop, submit, and implement a plan to effectively mitigate occupational risks posed by the stray current as part of their Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA). Documents related to previously-conducted stray current field testing are located in Attachment 1 and 2 of this Section. Attachment 1 is an assessment of ground currents that present a safety hazard to those working on the site. Attachment 2 is a survey of currents in to water and in water at and adjacent to the fish barriers. However, the Contractor is advised that such documentation represents conditions present at the time observations were made and, thus, the data presented should not be construed as being predictive of conditions present at any other time.

1.18 ELECTRICAL POWER LINES

Study the construction plans and site and know in detail all locations of power lines within the rights of way. Prior to performing any construction operation adjacent to power lines, appropriate danger signs must be provided where any equipment scheduled for use on the site is capable of contacting such lines. Confirm the location of underground lines, contact the appropriate council listed in paragraph ONE CALL SYSTEMS FOR EXCAVATORS. Aerial power lines must either be shut off and a positive means taken to prevent the lines from being energized, or clearances required by EM 385-1-1 , Safety and Health Requirements Manual, must be maintained. Work must not proceed into dangerous areas without an additional workman being assigned the crew to watch the movements of other personnel and equipment to assure that designated clearances are maintained.

1.19 BORROW/DISPOSAL SITES AND QUARRIES

This paragraph, Borrow/Disposal Sites and Quarries, applies only to the ability of the Contractor to utilize a particular borrow/disposal site or quarry, and does not address the use of materials from that site or quarry. Nothing in this paragraph, Borrow/Disposal, shall relieve the Contractor of complying with the specific testing requirements for material taken from any borrow/disposal sites or quarries as set forth in the technical provisions of this Contract.

a. Definitions. For purposes of this general provision, the following definitions apply:

(1) Government-Suggested borrow/disposal site or quarry means a site or quarry suggested by the Government for use by the Contractor concerning which all applicable Federal, state and local environmental statutory and regulatory requirements may or may not have been satisfied.

(2) Commercial/existing borrow/disposal site or quarry means a site or quarry which is either in the business of providing borrow

SECTION 01 10 00 Page 11 material or has been used as a disposal site for other purposes and is available for use; and concerning which all applicable Federal, state and local environmental statutory and regulatory requirements have been satisfied.

(3) Contractor-chosen borrow/disposal site or quarry means a site or quarry chosen by the Contractor for use concerning which none or not all of the applicable Federal, state and local environmental statutory and regulatory requirements have been satisfied.

b. If a borrow/disposal site or quarry is identified in the contract specifications as Government-Suggested, it is the responsibility of the Contractor to ascertain whether or not all Federal, state and local environmental statutory and regulatory requirements have been satisfied. If any of such requirements have not been satisfied, the Contractor is required to follow the procedures set forth in paragraph d(4) below. Use of such a site or quarry must be approved by the Contracting Officer.

c. If the Contractor chooses a commercial/existing borrow/disposal site or quarry, the Contractor is not required to ensure that all applicable Federal, state and local environmental statutory and regulatory requirements have been satisfied, but is required to provide to the Government either, as a minimum, a letter from the owner/operator of the commercial/existing borrow/disposal site or quarry certifying that all environmental and operating permits have been acquired, or actual copies of all such environmental and operating permits. Use of such a site or quarry must be approved by the Contracting Officer. Adhere to all rules, regulations and business practices required by the owner/operator.

d. If a Contractor decides to use a Contractor-chosen borrow/disposal site or quarry, it is the Contractor's responsibility to ensure that all applicable Federal, state and local environmental statutory and regulatory requirements have been satisfied. Use of such a site or quarry must be approved by the Contracting Officer, and such approval shall not be granted unless all applicable requirements have been met and such use of the site does not pose significant environmental impacts.

(1) The specific requirements which must be met by the Contractor before a Contractor-chosen (or, when applicable, a Government-recommended) site or quarry must be approved by the COR include, at a minimum, but are not necessarily limited to, compliance with the following environmental laws, regulations and

It is the Contractor's responsibility to ensure that all applicable Federal, state and local environmental statutory and regulatory requirements are satisfied, regardless of their presence on, or absence from, the above list.

(2) It is the responsibility of the Government to ensure that the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) have been complied with. If the Contractor decides to use a site or quarry which has not previously undergone an environmental review under NEPA (either Government-recommended or Contractor-chosen), notify the Contracting Officer, who shall arrange for such an environmental review. This review and compliance process may include inter-agency coordination and the preparation and circulation for public review of environmental documentation. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to allow sufficient time in the construction schedule to accommodate this review and compliance process, and to provide the Contracting Officer with any and all information that the Contracting Officer deems necessary to facilitate the process. The review and compliance process requires a minimum time frame of 90 calendar days, but could take substantially longer, possibly up to one year or, in unusual circumstances, even longer than one year, to complete.

Any construction delays caused by the need to conduct an environmental review under NEPA shall be solely the responsibility

SECTION 01 10 00 Page 14 of the Contractor, at no additional cost to the Government.

(3) It is also the responsibility of the Government to perform Section 7 consultation under the Endangered Species Act, to coordinate with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and appropriate state wildlife agencies under the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, and to perform a Farmland Conversion Impact Rating under the Farmland Protection Policy Act for all Government-Suggested or Contractor-Chosen sites. This must be accomplished concurrently with the NEPA environmental review process. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to allow sufficient time in the construction schedule to accommodate these consultation and coordination requirements as well as the NEPA review process, and to provide the Contracting Officer with any and all information that the Contracting Officer deems necessary to facilitate the completion of these consultation and coordination requirements.

(4) The Government cannot guarantee that any Government-Suggested or Contractor-chosen site is capable of complying with all applicable Federal, state and local environmental statutory and regulatory requirements and may reject any such site proposed for use by the Contractor for environmental reasons. If the Contracting Officer does not approve the use of a Government-recommended or Contractor-chosen borrow/disposal site or quarry because not all applicable Federal, state or local environmental statutory and regulatory requirements have been satisfied, or because the Government determines that such site or quarry could not be used for environmental reasons as a result of the environmental review under NEPA, it is the Contractor's responsibility to locate an alternate site or quarry and to perform all necessary reviews to obtain approval of the use of such alternative site or quarry. Any construction delays caused by the need to locate an alternate site or quarry, shall be solely the responsibility of the Contractor, at no additional cost to the Government.

(5) Nothing in this clause shall relieve the Contractor from the responsibility of obtaining all non-environmental permits and licenses which may be required under Federal, state or local statutes, regulations and ordinances.

Traffic control must be in accordance with the by the State and local authorities having jurisdiction. A copy of the plan must be submitted to the Contracting Officer for approval. Separate payment shall not be made for any costs incurred by the Contractor in compliance with the provisions of this paragraph but all costs therefore shall be considered as a subsidiary obligation of the Contractor and are included in the contract price for other contract items as applicable.

1.22 PRECONSTRUCTION CONFERENCE

After award of the contract but prior to commencement of any work at the site, meet with the Contracting Officer to discuss and develop a mutual understanding relative to the administration of the value engineering and safety program, preparation of the schedule of prices or earned value report, shop drawings, and other submittals, scheduling programming, prosecution of the work, and clear expectations of the "Interim DD Form 1354" Submittal. Major subcontractors who will engage in the work must also attend.

1.23 PROGRESS MEETINGS

A progress meeting will be held weekly. The meetings will occur on-site, in the Contractor's field trailer, as conditions allow. The day for conducting meetings will be mutually agreed to between the Contractor, the

SECTION 01 10 00 Page 16

Government and the Local Sponsors (DOE and CPD) within 10 calendar days after receipt of the notice to proceed. Unless the COR specifically indicates in writing otherwise, prepare meeting agendas and meeting minutes for each meeting.

Progress meeting will consist of a written agenda of topics and issues to be discussed during the meeting and followed up with draft meeting minutes prepared by the Contractor. The draft meeting minutes will be emailed out to all attendees one business day after the meeting for review and approval. The review and approval process will allow for mutual acceptance of the draft minutes as written, or editing to add, delete, and/or correct items that were covered in the weekly meeting. The edited draft meeting minutes will be published and handed out by the Contractor at each following week's progress meeting. If all attendees agree the minutes have been properly edited; then those minutes become the official final minutes of the previous week's progress meeting.
