SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION 00100 - INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS

The following have been modified:

BIDDER INSTRUCTIONS

SOLICITATION NUMBER: W912P824B0002

NOTE: BIDDERS MAY SUBMIT BIDS BY ONLY ONE METHOD: A) ELECTRONIC COMMERCE

(EMAIL) OR BY 2) PHYSICAL SUBMISSION. BIDDERS SHALL LIMIT THE BID SUBMITTAL TO ONE

OPTION OR THE OTHER, NOT BOTH.

Electronic Submission of Bids/Proposals (Email):

The New Orleans District utilizes electronic commerce (Email) for receipt of electronic bids under this IFB solicitation. To submit an electronic commerce (Email) bid please follow these steps:

1. Send an email containing your name, email address and bid/proposal to the following emails associated with the IFB (MUST include all emails):

Bianca.M.JamesGaddison@USACE.ARMY.MIL Jason.D.Crockett@USACE.ARMY.MIL

2. ALL BIDS SUBMITTED BY EMAIL MUST CONTAIN THE SOLICITATION NUMBER IN THE

SUBJECT LINE.

3. Once the agency receives your bid/proposal at the above email addresses, you will then receive a confirmation email stating your bid/proposal was received. If a bidder does not receive a reply acknowledging receipt electronically from the New Orleans District, it is incumbent upon the bidder to seek confirmation from the issuing Contracting office by phone.

Note: The size limit for incoming emails is 35MB. Any bid/proposal over this size may not be accepted by the server and will constitute the bid not being received timely. Please note that embedded links, URLs, and other html language included may interfere with the USACE server security, which may cause emails to be removed prior to being received by the contracting office. Bidders are advised to refrain from including external links, embedded links, URLs, and other html language not germane to the proposal/bid. Please note it is a bidder’s responsibility, when transmitting its bid electronically, to ensure the receipt of its bid to the proper designee at the proper time. See FAR 14.304(b)(1)(i) regarding untimely electronic bids. Please note, MVN’s computer system firewall may cause a delay in receipt of emails, so be sure to allow ample time for possible delay. If your email would exceed 35MB you can use one of the following methods as a work-around:

Use .zip files as attachments. Combine multiple files into a .zip file to compress file size prior to adding as an email attachment.

Send multiple emails. Label each email with same subject line and indicate number of emails. For example:

Smith Construction W912P823BXXXX (1 of 2) Smith Construction W912P823BXXXX (2 of 2).

W912P824B0002

Questions and Responses

Received on 31 January 2024

1. In response to Addendum 02, questions received on January 3, Question #6, the addendum refers the respondent to Specification Section 00 73 75.00 12, the only mention of welding is in Para. 2.1.1 General, “…shall include, underwater cutting and welding equipment.” AWS D1.1 has been defined as the applicable welding specification per Section

05 50 13 Miscellaneous Metal Fabrications. Underwater welding is deemed as non-structural welds per AWS D1.1. The underwater welding will not pass welding inspection due to the brackish water and the suspended solids in the river. If the welding is to be classified as a structural weld, the work will need to be facilitated in the dry. Is there a different applicable specification that should be applied to underwater welding? If AWS D3.6 is the applicable specification, please indicate the classification (A, B, O)?

RESPONSE: Underwater welding of the strips to the filler plates , if required, shall be approved by the Contracting Officer and all submittals approved before it is performed. If allowed, welding would be in accordance with AWS D3.6, Classification

A. No welding of the sheet pile will be allowed underwater.

2. Section 01 57 20.00 12 Environmental Protection, Para 3.6.1 Hazardous Wastes directs, “

The Contractor shall obtain an EPA ID# and Hazardous Waste Disposal Manifests and shall sign the manifests as the generator.” For the Optional Work, the red lead-based paint will need to be abated prior to the disposal of the demolition salvage. Can the section be revised to identify the Owner as the generator of the project originated hazardous materials?

RESPONSE: The contractor will sign as the Government’s representative. Section 01

57 20.00 12, Paragraph 3.6.1 will be revised via amendment.

3. Drawing Sheet C-002 and SD101 indicates the removal of approximately 48’ of the existing retaining wall. Reference Drawing No 28 (page 26 of 33 of Drawing Set), shows the limits of the existing “floor slab” ( Approx. 7’-6” thick). The floor slab and walls will need to be removed to drive the new timber guide wall due to pile conflicts with the existing structure. Please confirm the demolition requirements for the optional work on Reference

Drawing No 28.

RESPONSE: The existing concrete retaining walls and approach walls are not to be removed. On the north side of the channel (base work), the new timber guidewall is over 500 ft. from the existing concrete retaining wall and concrete approach wall. No pile interference is present. On the south side of the channel (optional work), the new timber guidewall will be installed adjacent to the existing concrete approach wall and retaining wall. The first 5 bents will have all vertical piles as shown in Section A4 on Sht

S-106 to eliminate pile interference between the new timber guidewall and the existing concrete retaining wall.

Received on 31 January 2024

15) Refer to Section 00010- Bidding Schedule. Please clarify if BI 0019 Plastic Wales- Unit of Measure should be in Linear Feet, similar to BI 0010.

RESPONSE: See revised bid schedule issued in AM 0002.

16) Amendment 2 indicates the required cell painting will extend to below the lower strap plate to approx.(+) Elev. 0.5. River elevations rarely fall below (+) 2.0 elevation. Will river elevations that prevent completion of cell painting as scheduled entitle the Contractor to contract time extensions?

RESPONSE: If river water levels prevent painting of the sheet pile striping per the awarded contract, a request for time extension should be submitted in accordance with

Specification Section 01 32 01.00 12, Paragraph 3.8 REQUESTS FOR TIME

EXTENSIONS. The elevation of the bottom of the painted stripes will be revised via amendment.

17) We request the base work bid contract completion time be increased 365 calendar days.

This is due to the schedule relationships between NTP, available standing scheduled steel mill runs for sheetpile, and other factors. Other factors include river levels, lock traffic frequency, lock closure scheduling, and winter weather affecting painting work.

RESPONSE: The duration for the base contact will be increased by 60 days (365 calendar days) and the duration for the option work will be increased by 45 days (250 calendar days) via amendment. To address the factors specifically identified in the question:

• Delays due to river levels and lock traffic will be handled in accordance with the applicable provisions of Specification Section 01100.

• The majority of the painting can be performed prior to installation, so it should not be overly affected by weather or river conditions.

• The extended duration allows for adequate time to order and produce the sheet pile based on the expected sequence of work and manufacturer provided rolling schedules.

18) Drwg S-102 Section B1. There are drafting lines at the centerlines of all sheetpile in a random pattern. Please indicate the significance of the lines. See attached.

RESPONSE: The drafting lines at the center of the sheetpiles on Dwg. S-102, Section B1 have no specific meaning and can be ignored.

Program cleaning and painting such that dust or other contaminants from the cleaning process do not fall on wet, newly painted surfaces. Protect surfaces not intended to be painted from the effects of cleaning and painting operations. Conduct welding of, or in the vicinity of, previously painted surfaces in a manner to prevent weld spatter from striking the paint and to otherwise reduce coating damage to a minimum.

Restore any paint damaged by welding operations to original condition. Painted areas ground clean for welding shall be repainted to the required mil thickness. Surfaces to be painted that will be inaccessible after construction, erection, or installation operations are completed must be painted before they become inaccessible.”

IF A BIDDER OMITS BOTH THE UNIT PRICE AND THE EXTENDED

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

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).

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).

PART 2 PRODUCTS (NOT USED)

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 STRUCTURAL FABRICATION

3.1.1 Material

Material must be straight before being laid off or worked. If straightening is necessary it shall be done by methods that will not impair

SECTION 05 50 03.00 12 Page 6 the metal. Sharp kinks or bends shall be cause for rejection of the material. Material with welds will not be accepted, except where welding is definitely specified, indicated on the drawings, or otherwise approved.

Bends, except for minor details, shall be made by approved dies, press brakes or bending rolls. Where heating is required precautions shall be taken to avoid overheating the metal and it shall be allowed to cool in a manner as not to destroy the original properties of the metal. Flame cutting of material other than structural steel shall be subject to approval and, where proposed, shall be indicated on shop drawings submitted to the Contracting Officer. Shearing shall be accurately done and all portions of the work shall be neatly finished. Corners shall be square and true unless otherwise shown on the drawings. Re-entrant cuts shall be filleted to a minimum radius of 3/4-inch unless otherwise approved.

Finished members shall be free from twists, bends and open joints.

3.1.2 Dimensional Tolerances for Structural Work

Dimensions shall be measured by means of an approved calibrated steel tape of approximately the same temperature as the material being measured at the time of measurement. The overall dimensions of an assembled structural unit shall be within the tolerances as follows: an allowable variation of 1/32-inch is permissible in the overall length of component members with both ends milled; individual component members without milled ends shall not deviate from the dimensions shown on the drawings by more than 1/16-inch for members 30 feet or less in length and by more than 1/8-inch for members over 30 feet in length.

3.1.3 Fabrication

Fabrication must be in accordance with the applicable provisions of AISC 325.

Fabrication and assembly must be done in the shop to the greatest extent possible. Punch, subpunch and ream, or drill bolt holes perpendicular to the surface of the member.

3.2 STRUCTURAL STEEL WELDING

3.2.1 General

Unless otherwise authorized or specified, welding of structural steel shall be by an electric arc welding process using a method which excludes the atmosphere from the molten metal. Welding, unless otherwise specified or authorized shall conform to the applicable provisions of AWS D1.1/D1.1M.

3.2.2 Welding Equipment

All items of welding equipment shall conform to the requirements of

AWS D1.1/D1.1M.

3.2.3 Structural Steel Fabrication

Structural steel may be cut by mechanically guided or hand guided torches provided an accurate profile with a smooth surface which is free from cracks and notches is obtained. Surfaces and edges to be welded shall be prepared in accordance with AWS D1.1/D1.1M and approved WPS. Where structural steel is not to be welded chipping or grinding will not be required except as necessary to remove slag and sharp edges of mechanically guided or hand guided cuts not exposed to view. Hand guided cuts that are to be exposed or visible shall be chipped, ground or machined to sound

SECTION 05 50 03.00 12 Page 7 metal. In all cutting, flame shall be so adjusted and manipulated as to avoid cutting beyond the prescribed lines. Cut surfaces and edges shall be left free of slag. Splices, not designated on the drawings, shall be submitted to the Government Representative for approval.

3.2.4 Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS)

The Contractor shall prepare for submission to the Contracting Officer a complete schedule of welding procedures which shall consist of detailed procedure specifications for each structure to be welded and tables or diagrams showing the procedure to be used for each required joint. The schedule shall conform to the provisions of AWS D1.1/D1.1M as applicable to Cyclically Loaded Structures, include filler metal requirements, preheat and interpass temperature requirements and any stress relief heat treatment, and show types and locations of welds designated on the drawings and/or in the specifications to receive nondestructive examination. The procedures shall be such as to minimize residual stresses and distortion of the completed weldment. Procedures shall be qualified by tests as prescribed in AWS D1.1/D1.1M, Clause 6, Part B or Clause 10, Part C except for prequalified procedures described in AWS D1.1/D1.1M, Clause 5, or Clause 10, Part B. Copies of the Procedure Qualification Report (PQR)shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer along with appropriate WPS's.

Properly documented evidence of compliance with all requirements of these specifications for previous qualification tests shall establish the joint welding procedure as prequalified. Each procedure shall be clearly identified as being either prequalified or qualified by tests. The test welding and specimen testing must be witnessed and the test report document signed by a representative of the Contracting Officer. The Contractor will be directed or authorized to make any changes in previously approved welding procedures that are deemed necessary or desirable by the Contracting Officer. Approval of any procedure, however, will not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for producing a finished structure meeting all requirements of these specifications. A CWI or NDT Inspector meeting the qualification stated herein shall approve all WPS's and PQR's.

The CWI's or NDT Inspector's signature and if applicable stamp shall be on every WPS and PQR submitted.
