RFI 1

Question 1) Will USACE be adding a line item to the base bid for flotation channels?

Section 35 31 19.01 para., 1.1.1.3 and 1.3.4 reference flotation channels and payment for flotation channels, but there is no item for this in the base bid schedule. There is a flotation item in the option work, but there is not a flotation item for the base bid.

Answer 1) Floatation Channel Excavation is included as an Optional Work item. A task order will be put out if the Contractor’s preconstruction surveys in any work area identified by task order show that the bank line prohibits access to the foreshore dike or jetty repairs.

Light loading of barges is allowed to reduce draft as long as the foundation of the stone foreshore dikes or jetties is not disturbed. Historically, maintaining a floatation channel in areas that are prone to siltation is difficult.

Stone placed more than fifty (50) feet beyond the Task Order limits or one (1) foot or more above the design grade, as determined by the profile, will not be paid for.”

2. Pages 8 and 9, paragraphs 2.1.1.3 and 2.1.1.4. Delete these paragraphs in their entirety and substitute the following therefore:

“2.1.1.3 Gradation of Stone

Gradation tests of stone shall be accomplished at the quarry. Tests by weight shall be made by the Contractor in the presence of the Contracting Officer's Representative. The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer not less than three (3) working days in advance of each test. In the event of non-availability of the Government representative, the Contractor shall perform the tests and certify to the Contracting Officer that the stone shipped complies with these contract specifications. A minimum of one (1) test shall be performed for each 50,000 tons of jetty stone, R-5000, and 2200 lb. stone, or a fraction thereof, supplied to the Government from each source. Each test sample shall be representative of the stone being shipped and consists of not less than fifty 50 tons for jetty stone, R-5000, and 2200 lb. stone.

Percentage determinations shall be made for each stone weight specified in each gradation in paragraph "Size." Gradation test data shall be submitted on Gradation Test Data Sheet MVN Form 602-R and Gradation Curves, a copy of MVN Form 602-R is shown at the end of this section. Failure of the test on the initial sample and on an additional sample will be considered cause for rejection of the quarry and/or quarrying process, and all stone represented by the failed tests shall be set aside and not incorporated into the work. Any additional test required because of the failure of an initial test sample will not be considered as one of the other required tests. Certification and test results shall represent stone shipped from the quarry and must be received by the Government field representative before the stone is used in the work, but not later than seven (7) days after the stone leaves the quarry. The Certificate of Compliance shall contain the type of stone, the date loaded and the barge number. The Contractor shall designate on the test form that portion (in tons) of the lot tested which is applicable to these contract specifications. Any deviation from the reported tonnage shall be corrected on a revised gradation test form. The Contracting Officer may direct, under the Section 00700 CONTRACT CLAUSES entitled "INSPECTION OF CONSTRUCTION" (FAR 52.246-12), additional testing of stone furnished to the jobsite if the stone appears, by visual inspection, to be of questionable gradation or quality. Refer to paragraph "MVD STANDARD TEST METHOD FOR GRADATION OF STONE" for the gradation test method.

2.1.1.4 Size

a. 2200 lb. Stone Repairs

Stone for use in 2200 lb. stone repairs shall be standard 2200 lb. stone and shall meet the gradation requirements shown in Plate 1 at the end of this section. Each shipment shall be graded by weight as follows:

c. Jetty Stone A Repairs

Stone for use in jetty stone A repairs shall be in pieces that range in size between 2 tons and 4 tons each with fifty (50) percent of the individual pieces weighing 3 tons or more. Some breakage of stone will occur due to handling; however, use of stones smaller than 2 tons will be limited to fifteen (15) percent and shall be used at locations specified by the Contracting Officer. Stone procurement and placement shall meet the requirements as specified herein and as shown on the Task Order drawings.

d. Jetty Stone B Repairs

3. Page 10, subparagraph 2.2.2 (5). Delete this subparagraph in its entirety and substitute the following therefore:

“(5) Subparagraph (4) will result in "individual weight retained" figures. Calculate individual percent retained for 2200 lb. stone or R-5000 stone. Continue by calculating the cumulative percent retained and cumulative percent passing. Plot the cumulative percent passing along with the specification limits on Plate 1 for 2200 lb. stone and Plate 2 (attached at the end of this section) for R-5000 stone.

Similarly, physical work cannot start on subsequent Task Orders until Task Order specific supplements to the Accident Prevention Plan, Contractor Quality Control Plan, and other submittals which may be required, have been submitted and approved and all Task Order specific preliminary meetings called for under the contract, have been conducted.

NOTE 5: OPTIONAL WORK ITEMS. The Government may require the delivery of the Optional Work items identified in the schedule in the quantities and prices stated in the schedule.

NOTE 6: EVALUATION OF OPTIONS (FAR 52.217-5 JUL 1990). 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.

Descriptions of the anticipated work is specified in Section 01100, paragraph entitled “LOCATIONS AND ANTICIPATED WORK”.

NOTE 9: Attention is directed to the Section 00700 CONTRACT CLAUSES entitled "ORDER LIMITATIONS" (FAR 52.216-19, Oct 1995) for Task Order limitations.

NOTE 10: Task Orders will be issued by electronic communications (e-mail or facsimile) by the Contracting Officer.

NOTE 11: All quantities are estimated and are to be used for evaluation purposes only.

Estimated quantities of individual contract line items may vary significantly either up or down depending on the work required during the two-year contract period as long as the earnings limitations of the contract are not exceeded. No adjustment will be made to the contract price under the VEQ clause (FAR 52.211-18) since this is an IDIQ contract. The VEQ clause is inserted only for the authority to adjust quantities in each Task Order through a modification.

00010-5 ED 23-001
