“1.3.4 Existing Spill Box Installation

No separate measurement will be made for installation of the existing spill box.”

“1.4.1 Embankment

Payment for all fill material placed and compacted as required in embankments, including additional material placed by reason of foundation settlement during construction, will be made at the contract unit price per cubic yard for "Dike Construction". Price and payment shall constitute full compensation for furnishing all plant, labor, testing, employ of professional engineering services, equipment and material (except earth material), and performing all operations necessary for excavation, installation of the existing spill box, all testing, hauling, foundation preparation, material processing for moisture control, placing and compacting the material, surveys, and other incidental work required to complete the embankment or fill.”

3. Page 8, paragraph 3.1.1. Delete this paragraph in its entirety and substitute the following therefore:

“3.1.1 Dike Alignments

The horizontal dike centerline alignment controls and details are shown in the contract drawings. The Contractor shall field verify and ensure the exterior dike toe of the proposed dike is a minimum of 100-ft from the top of bank along the eastern lake side. In addition, the Contractor shall field verify and ensure the exterior dike toe of the proposed dike is a minimum of 100 feet from the interior toe of the existing foreshore stone dike. In the event the exterior dike toe is less than 100 feet from the lake side top of bank or the river side interior stone dike, the Contractor shall immediately bring this to the attention of the Government in writing. The Government will examine the information presented and inform the Contractor for an appropriate resolution in writing.

The dike alignment from the dike centerline station 60+00 to station 80+00 may require an alignment shift east based on actual field conditions by the Contractor. This reach of the alignment shall be field verified by the Contractor and coordinated with the Contracting Officer's Representative to determine if a new alignment for this reach is required.”

4. Page 12. Add the following new paragraph after paragraph 3.7:

Questions and Answers

Question 1. – Upon reviewing the prints and specifications we do not see where this solicitation calls out for fertilizing and seeding the berm after completion.

Answer – No. The P&S for this solicitation do not require fertilizing and seeding.

Question 2. - Has any material from virgin cuts been placed in the DMMA since the geotechnical data was collected? If so, can the government provide the volume of the virgin material?

Answer - The borings of Disposal Area "E" were performed between 2000 and 2003. Since that time frame, there has NOT been any specified dredging of virgin material through, say, enlargement of the Calcasieu River Ship Channel, or any other project in the area, which would have entailed placement of virgin material into Disposal Area "E". The only virgin material that would might been placed within Disposal Area "E" would have been simply incidental virgin material as a result of excessive dredging in the side slopes or over depth.

Question 3. - Is there a required compaction specification for the Dike’s?

Answer - See Section 31 24 00.00, Embankment, paragraph 3.5.2 Placement, Spreading, and Compaction. Compaction to the typical 90 or 95 percent maximum dry density is not required for this contract.
