Amendment 0007 Contractor Questions for:

MVN Flood Control, Amite River and Tributaries, LA, Comite River Basin, Comite River Diversion Project, US Highway 61 and Kansas City Southern Railway Bridges, East Baton Rouge, LA ED-18-035 , Solicitation Number W912P819R0033

1) The contract completion time has been significantly decreased. We respectfully request the original contract duration of 634 calendar days be reinstated. The project necessitates multiple by-passes, multiple phases of work, and sequential construction. To reduce the 634CD to 516CD increases inherent risk and raises safety issues associated with multiple shifts and night time work. Please take our concerns in consideration and reinstate the 634CD for completion.

USACE Response: The previous scope took into account restricted access due to multiple relocations that had to occur concurrent with construction. Now, the majority of the existing utilities have been relocated which will allow unencumbered access to the project site by the Contractor to start construction on the railway shoofly. No change to the project duration will be made by USACE.

2) Amendment 4, Section 34 11 25.16 that is mentioned at the end of the text before the drawings, is not attached to the Amendment.

USACE Response: Spec Section 34 11 25.16, “BALLAST”, will be included within Amendment 0007.

3) Is there a cost associated with the ROE agreement for the KCS Railroad attached to

Amendment 5?

USACE Response: The Fee for the ROE agreement is included within Attachment C, “KCS Right of Entry Agreement Form”, Paragraph 4, included within Amendment 0005.

“4. FEE: Contractor agrees to pay to Railway Company for the use of Railway Company’s right-of-way and the privilege hereby granted, such use and privilege being expressly limited to the facilities described above, the one-time sum of ONE AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($1.00), payable upon execution of this Agreement.”

4) The contract asks that the HPTRM area be seeded and fertilized. We have performed the installation of the HPTRM in the past and experience indicates that sod is the best way to establish grass growth. Please consider adding a sod item to the bid for installation over the

HPTRM.

USACE Response: The Contractor shall bid the project based upon the requirements stated within the advertised contract plans and specifications.

Amendment 0007 Contractor Questions for: MVN Flood Control, Amite River and Tributaries, LA, Comite River Basin, Comite River Diversion Project, US Highway 61 and Kansas City Southern Railway Bridges, East Baton Rouge, LA ED-18-035, Solicitation Number

5) The quantity for the 66" drilled shafts is overestimated. Please revise the quantity and issue a new bid item sheet.

USACE Response: The estimated quantity for bid item 0042, “DRILLED SHAFT (66”)”, will be revised from 6,804 LF to 2,268 LF, and included within Amendment 0007.

6) The Bidding schedule in Amendment 3 (the latest bid schedule revision to my knowledge) has

Item #0052 16” Steel Pipe Pile 5,691 LF, however the quantity show on sheet S-202 has this quantity corrected to 5,823 LF from an Amendment. Can you tell me which one is correct and how should proceed with pricing that item?

USACE Response: The estimated quantity for bid item 0052, “16” STEEL PIPE PILE”, will be revised from 5,691 LF to 5,823 LF, and included within Amendment 0007.

7) Due to the large scope of the project, short time frame for preparation of the bid, and upcoming holidays we would like to request the project bid date be delayed to help facilitate a more accurate bid.

USACE Response: Amendment 006 extends the proposal due date.

8) Please verify the qty is correct for CLIN 73- HPTRM Hydroseeding. It is currently 73 acres.

USACE Response: The estimated quantity for bid item 0073, “HPTRM HYDROSEEDING”, will be revised from 73 AC to 7 AC, and included within Amendment 0007.

9) CLIN 0016- requires lime treatment (12" thick).

-Where is the lime treatment required? The details don’t appear to call it out.

-The specification refer bidders to LDOTD requirements. However, it doesn’t specify which type of LDOTD treatment is required (Ty B, C, D, E, etc.)

-What application rate/ percentage of lime treatment is required (i.e. 6%)?

USACE Response: Refer to Plan Sheet C-111, for details of the 12” thick lime treatment. The typical sections for the roadway shows number 9 as “12” LIME TREATMENT (TYPE E) (9% BY VOLUME) within the legend.

Southern Railway Bridges, East Baton Rouge, LA ED-18-035, Solicitation Number

10) On the referenced solicitation, we would ask the Government to consider extending the solicitation due date approximately 2 weeks. The project was re-established (after a 7-month delay) on 11/19/19 leaving very minimal time for preparation of bids. As this is a best value procurement, it is difficult to assemble this bid in a relatively short time frame (especially with the holidays mixed in).

11) Contractor respectfully submits the following question, in regard to the subject project.

This project has been on hold for an extended period of time, causing contractors to move on to other endeavors with their work forces. To now resurrect it on such short notice with such a short turn around for site tour (11/22), last day for RFI’s (11/25) and bid turn in date (12/06), added to the fact that the Thanksgiving Holiday is upon us, will certainly make responding to your solicitation extremely difficult if not entirely impossible, given the scope of work. It is requested that USACE, New Orleans District reconsider and grant an extension to at least mid- January, 2020.

12) Regarding the subject solicitation, we request that you please extend the proposal due date to 31

January 2020 to provide appropriate time to restart the bid, perform an appropriate small business outreach, and complete proposal efforts considering vacation and holiday schedules.

13) We would like to request that the RFP Offers Due Date be extended to accommodate the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday.

14) Please consider postponing the due date for this project’s solicitation response to mid-January.

The postponement will allow for greater participation by qualified firms, and a competitive offer from our firm. Without a postponement we will not be able to respond.

15) In regards to the US 61 Bridge Quantities, most of my takeoffs are not matching the Engineer’s supplied Estimated Quantities found on Plan Sheet S-102. Specifically, the quantity for the Class A1 Concrete (Bent Cap), Class A1 Concrete (Column), Class A1 Concrete (Retaining Wall), and Concrete Approach Slabs. I realize that the majority of these items are not measured and paid for by the unit, however I am concerned if I am missing something or if USACE left information out of the plan set. Please advise

Southern Railway Bridges, East Baton Rouge, LA ED-18-035, Solicitation Number

USACE Response: Plan Sheet S-102 will be revised with the correct quantities, and included within Amendment 0007.

16) After speaking with precast vendors, I am concerned with the availability of the Precast

Prestressed Single Cell Box Girders. Along with lack of availability, I feel the price for these will be much higher than USACE is expecting. Would USACE be open to an alternate precast girder being used in lieu of the Precast Prestressed Single Cell Box Girders?

USACE Response: The Contractor shall bid the project based upon the requirements stated within the advertised contract plans and specifications.

*Denotes a change from the previous Bidding Schedule.

**The unit "JOB" as used in this Bidding Schedule is synonymous with the term "Lump Sum" used elsewhere within these plans and specifications.

Award will be made as a whole to one bidder.

NOTE 1: Bidders shall furnish unit prices for each item listed in the Schedule requiring a unit price. If the bidder fails to insert a unit price in the appropriate blank for required item(s), but does furnish an extended total, or an estimated amount for such item(s), the Government shall deem the unit price to be the quotient obtained by dividing the extended amount for that line item by the quantity. IF A BIDDER OMITS BOTH THE UNIT PRICE AND THE EXTENDED

00010-7 ED 18-035

TOTAL OR ESTIMATED AMOUNT FOR ANY ITEM, ITS BID SHALL BE

DECLARED NON-RESPONSIVE AND THEREFORE INELIGIBLE FOR

AWARD.

NOTE 2: Any bid may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines in writing that it is unreasonable as to price. Unreasonableness of price includes not only total price of bid, but the price for individual line items as well. Any bid may be rejected if the prices for any line items or sub line items are materially unbalanced (See FAR 14.404-2, Rejection of Individual Bids).

NOTE 3: THE NOTICE TO PROCEED (NTP): The successful bidder is advised that performance and payment bonds shall be submitted in accordance with the time frame in block 12B of SF 1442. The NTP will be issued immediately after verification of acceptable performance and payment bonds. Within seven (7) days after issuance of the NTP, the Contractor shall initiate a meeting to discuss the submittal process with the Area or Resident Engineer or his authorized representative. Physical work cannot start until the Accident Prevention Plan, Contractor Quality Control Plan, and other submittals which may be required, have been submitted and approved and all preliminary meetings called for under the contract, have been conducted.

NOTE 4: RAPID VENDOR PAYMENT: Web based instructions for the submission of invoices;

http://www.mvn.usace.army.mil/BusinessWithUs/Contracting/RapidVendorPayment.aspx

NOTE 5: OPTIONAL WORK ITEMS. The Government may require the delivery of the numbered line item(s), identified in the schedule as OPTIONAL WORK Items, in the quantities and prices stated in the schedule. The Contracting Officer may exercise the OPTION WORK Items by written notice to the Contractor. Bidders shall bid on all items including optional items (see “Evaluation of Options” FAR 52.217-5). Failure to bid on all items will result in a non-responsive bid.

NOTE 6: EVALUATION OF OPTIONS (FAR 52.217-5 JUL 1990). Except when it is determined in accordance with FAR 17.206(b) not to be in the Government’s best interests, the Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for this basic requirement.

Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

*NOTE 7: TIME ADJUSTMENT IN THE EVENT OF THE EXERCISE OF

OPTIONAL WORK. In the event that OPTIONAL WORK items are exercised under the terms of the contract, the time required for completion of the contract will not be adjusted but shall be performed concurrent with the original contract duration of 516 calendar days established for the BASE WORK items specified in the Contract Clause entitled “COMMENCEMENT, PROSECUTION, AND

COMPLETION OF WORK (FAR 52-211-10 – APR 1984)”.

7. CERTIFICATES OF COMPLIANCE

Any certificates required for demonstrating proof of compliance of materials with specification requirements shall be executed in three (3) copies. Each certificate shall be signed by an official authorized to certify on behalf of the manufacturing company and shall contain the name and address of the Contractor, the project name and location, and the quantity and date or dates of shipment or delivery to which the certificates apply. Copies of laboratory test reports submitted with certificates shall contain the name and address of the testing laboratory and the date or dates of the tests to which the report applies. Certification shall not be construed as relieving the Contractor from furnishing satisfactory material, if, after tests are performed on selected samples, the material is found not to meet specified requirements.

8. ENVIRONMENTAL LITIGATION

(a) The term "environmental litigation", as used herein, means a lawsuit alleging that the work has an adverse effect on the environment or that the Government has not duly considered, either substantively or procedurally, the effect of the work on the environment.

(b) If the performance of all or any part of the work is suspended, delayed, or interrupted due to an order of a court of competent jurisdiction as a result of environmental litigation, as defined below, the Contracting Officer, at the request of the Contractor, shall determine whether the order is due in any part to the acts or omissions of the Contractor or a Subcontractor at any tier not required by the terms of this contract.
