SUMMARY OF CHANGES

The following have been added by full text:

GOVERNMENT RESPONSES

Clarifications to Government Responses

Industry Question: The bid form requires that bidders total all optional items, therefore bond that total. The notes clearly say that Options "CLIN 0005 and CLIN 0007 will not both be exercised." That is requiring contractors to bond 1M CY of material that will not be awarded and is expensive to bond. Please consider Amending this contract to clearly separate Option 0005 or 0007 into separate totals. This in addition to the situation stated below about the late notification of a new bid bond is making bidding on this project problematic for several, if not all, contractors.

Government Response: Bid, performance and payment bonds are required by law on public construction projects.

Failure to furnish a bid guarantee in the proper form and amount, by the time set for opening of bids, may be cause for rejection of the bid.

Industry Question: In amendment 0004, question 13, the last sentence of the government response states “The specifications will be updated accordingly in a forthcoming amendment.” The only other amendment issued was 0005, which only updated the bid bond form. Will another amendment be issued in relation to question 13?

Government Response: Please see Amendment number 0004.

Section 32 12 16.00 12

Page 8, paragraph 3.7.1, delete the paragraph in its entirety and substitute the following therefore:

“3.7.1 Placement The asphaltic concrete pavement shall consist of 9-inches of base course (Class II Stone), 4 inches of superpave asphaltic concrete binder course (Level A) and two layers of 2 inches of superpave asphaltic concrete wearing course (Level A). Placing of asphaltic mixtures shall be in accordance with the specified lift thicknesses shown on the drawings and in accordance with LSSRB 502. Asphalt shall be placed and compacted in lifts of thicknesses specified herein and as shown on the drawings.”

Industry Question: Specifications indicate construction deliverables are in section 52.214.12 of the issued plans and specifications. At this time, this section is NOT included in the material that is available to contractors to bid.

This project has a bid opening scheduled for Monday September 9 at 11:00 am.

Can you please issue some type of information as to what we are to return as a complete bid package (deliverables) to you?

Government Response: FAR Clause 52.214-12, is the guidance for Bidders to follow in preparing bids. Page 00700-22, para (e), provides the specifications and contract drawings.

Industry Question: Section 00600 Representations and Certifications are to be turned in with the bid. Usually we print this information from SAM.gov, but when changes need to be made we have to manually complete the documents that are typically located in section 00600. These documents seem to be missing from this solicitation, as there are no documents for the contractor to complete in section 00600 or any other section. Attached for your reference are the Certs. and Reps. that are included in another solicitation. Please advise.

Government Response: Section 00600 – Representations and Certifications begin on page 00600-1 of the solicitation, it is intact.
