Bayou Fountain Clearing and Snagging Solicitation W912P822B0003

Contractor Questions & USACE Responses

Q1. Request for a site visit date, time and location for Clearing & Snagging of Bayou Fountain, East Baton Rouge, LA.

R1. For information to schedule a site visit, please contact Mr. Richard Broussard at 504-862-2523.

Q2. I wanted to see if you knew how the testing lab would be selected for the Charenton Floodgate Replacement project. Terracon Consultants Inc is a validated lab and I would like to understand how we can receive more work with the USACE.

R2. That information has not been determined.

Q3. Request for copies of the government quantity estimates for this project as outlined in 52.236-4 PHYSICAL DATA:

Estimates of quantities involved in certain items of work for which bids are being solicited on a job basis have been made for the use of the Government. Copies of these quantity estimates may be viewed or obtained, if available, by contacting the Contract Specialist for this contract, same address as stated in subparagraph

(a) above. It is expressly understood that the accuracy of these estimates is in no way warranted and that the furnishing of this information to a bidder will not relieve him of his responsibility to estimate the quantities involved.

R3. For item 0008 Clearing and Snagging, the IGE is using 62 acres. For item 0009 Access Clearing, the IGE is using 2 acres for light clearing and mowing.

Q4. Was an assessment performed after hurricane Ida because there are many more trees down in the creek than what the pictures show?

R4. An assessment was not performed after hurricane Ida.

Q5. In the spec section below, it details what need to be disposed of. There is a large section of sheet pile retaining wall that is leaning into the channel. Is this expected to be hauled off?

R5. Sheet pile is to remain in place. The intent is to do not disrupt bank stability.

Q6. What determines top of bank?

R6. In general, the limits of clearing and snagging are from top-of-bank top top-of-bank. The actual limits of clearing and snagging is an offset distance from the centerline as shown on sheet G-04.

Q7. Are the large cypress trees that are still standing in the water expected to be cut and hauled?

R7. All trees that are within the limits of clearing and snagging shall be cut and removed from the bayou.

Q8. Is there a diameter of tree that would be considered to remain?

R8. No, all trees that are within the limits of clearing and snagging shall be cut and removed from the bayou.

Q9. If a tree is on top of the bank and doesn’t need to be cut but there are limbs hanging over the canal. What is the requirement such as height of the limb hanging over the canal?

R9. All trees located outside of the limits of clearing and snagging, access corridors, and staging areas shall not be disturbed. If a tree is growing outside of the areas previously stated and its limbs are growing down into the channel (interfering with work or impeding flow) those limbs will be removed (not the whole tree).

Q10. Can equipment be used on top of bank to assist?

R10. The intent is to work from within the channel banks. Working from top-of-bank is allowed at staging areas only.

Q11. Can the bayou banks be utilized to skid clearing and snagging debris to the staging areas? If so, what precautions would need to be taken?

R11. Clearing and snagging shall occur within the limits shown on sheet G-04.

As stated in SECTION 31 11 13.00 12, Para. 3.3.1. “Clearing and snagging shall not impair bank stability as stated in Handheld equipment (chain saws, brush cutters, etc.) shall be used as much as possible to minimize damage to instream and riparian habitat.
