The following have been added by full text:

AMENDMENT 0003 Q&A

SOLICITATION NO. W91238-16-B-0039

Amendment 0003

WBV-EVM-78, Westbank and Vicinity (WBV) Hurricane and Storm Damage Risk Reduction System (HSDRRS) Mitigation, Jean Lafitte Swamp (Millaudon and Horseshoe Cuts) and BLH-Wet (Hwy 45 Borrow Pit) Restoration, Jefferson Parish, Louisiana

Questions and Responses

As of: 12 July 2016 The intent of this section is to provide questions & comments received from interested parties on the above Scope of Work, and our responses to those questions and comments. It is possible that the information below does not reflect 100% of the questions and responses. The questions and comments do not necessarily represent questions received from any particular contractor.

Questions and responses are provided for information only and are not made part of the Scope of Work.

No. Question Response

22. Drawing CE-104 defines two access points located on opposite ends of the area to be filled. Can filling of the Hwy. 45 borrow site begin on the west end and proceed towards east?

There are no restrictions for direction of fill operations.

23. In Section 31 23 00.00 12, Paragraph 1.5 “Submittals”, Top Soil Borrow Source is shown to be a preconstruction submittal. Will the contractor be allowed to blend materials that are needed to meet the requirements of Top Soil in the designated and final placement area (Hwy. 45 Borrow Site)? If so, how does the contractor meet the preconstruction submittal requirement for Top Soil?

Contractor will be allowed to blend materials.

Preconstruction submittal shall state intent to use a blend and sources used. Final blend shall meet the requirements of the specifications and be approved prior to fill operation.

W912P8-16-B-0039

24. Section 31 23 00- measures the fill (sand, clay and topsoil) using the end area method w/ sections determined prior to construction. Would the Government consider changing this measurement to vehicular measurement? Net section in a wet environment, soft subsurface w/ the inevitable mud wave is nearly impossible for contractors to assume how much material will be utilized.

Further, in this application actual settlement calculation will be difficult to capture increasing the risk for both contractor and government.

Sand placement is in the wet. Clay and top soil require placement in an unwatered area. Settlement plates have been added as an option in Amendment 0002 dated 30JUN16. No change will be made to P&S.

25. Because of uncertainty of settling, and difficulty in placing, finding and measuring settlement plates, will USACE consider unit pricing on all fill material as either measured truck yards or tons by certified scales?

See response to question 24.

26. Because LA does not issue a Forester’s License, only a Forester consultant, which can have varying backgrounds and requirements, please clarify requirements on sec 32 93 00 part 1.8.3.

See response to question 21 of Amendment 0002.
