Q1. We applied for the certification by JCP a number of weeks ago and unfortunately, we have not yet received a response. Are CDs available for this project?

Q1 ANSWER REVISED: Contact the U.S./Canada Joint Certification Office at 1-(800)-352-3572 or via email at jcp-admin@dla.mil to check on the status of your application. REVISED: CDs are available for this project depending on the circumstances. JCP will be contacted to confirm receipt of application.

Q2. I am trying to access the export controlled packages with my assigned MPIN but it is not working.

Q2 ANSWER: According to the U.S./Canada Joint Certification Program (JCP) office, once a company is certified with the JCP office (typically 7 to 12 business days), the company should contact FedBizzOpps (FBO) to have them add their JCP number to their FBO account. Companies must ensure that they are registered and login as a Vendor in FBO. When the Vendor click’s to open an export controlled package/document they should be asked for their

MPIN. After entering the MPIN, the export controlled package/document should be viewable/downloadable by

Vendors that have gone through the JCP registration and MPIN are valid and up-to-date. If problems persist, the

Vendor may call the FBO helpdesk at 866-606-8220, select option 2 for FBO issues and ask for troubleshooting assistance. You can check if your MPIN is valid and/or up-to-date at http://www.logisticsinformationservice.dla.mil/jcp/Search.aspx by either entering your Certification Number, Partial

Company Name and State, Cage Code or Partial Organization Name.

Q8. Sheet C-112 references keynote 10 as “gravel mulch”. Please provide a detail for this item.

Q8 ANSWER: The gravel mulch consists of 2"(depth) of No 57 (3/4" dia +/-) crushed stone placed over finish grade. This material is further described under the header: Recommended Engineering Fills and their uses: Crushed

Stone shown on sheet C-501. To minimize the migration of the stone into the soil, the area graded area should be overlaid with a non-woven geotextile fabric such as TenCate Mirafi 160N or approved equal. If No 57 is not readily available or decomposed granite or other locally available material may be substituted.

Q9. Sheet C-120 provides estimate of quantities. These quantities seem to be substantially underestimated. The

UTES building pad alone will require 3,300 cyds of fill to get to subgrade. Please confirm if these quantities are to be used in any pricing.

Q9 ANSWER: The quantities shown on sheet C-120 are shown for convenience only. It is the responsibility of the

Contractor to verify all quantities and provide materials for the 100% complete and usable project. The quantities shown should not be used without verification and to the satisfaction of the contractor.

Q10. Sheet C-122 keynote 2 states “grade to match existing site conditions at perimeter of project”. The existing grades as shown do not provide enough information to carry the grading that far. Please provide existing grades at the North, Northeast, and Northwest sides of the site.

Q10 ANSWER: The original site survey limits have been shown on the documents. The site is surrounded on each side mentioned by a wide but gently sloping ditch. The survey coverage was in very close proximity to the proposed edge of pavement and/or fence line. The top of curb elevations in these areas were set near the existing elevation (0.50' +/-). This was done so that grading outside the back of curb could simply be accomplished as finish grading through the installation of topsoil within 5 feet of the back of curb and a manageable slope could be maintained.

As the northern portion of the site is proposed to be constructed of gravel paving. The northern line can be adjusted

(with the approval of the Contracting Officer) if a conflict with the existing grades develop during construction.

Q11. Please provide the limits of construction fence that will be required as specified in 015000 3.4. Will the entire site need to be enclosed where earth moving is taking place or just areas of building construction?

Q11 ANSWER: The limits of construction is delineated on Sheet C-100 and in more detail on sheets C-101 thru C-

103. The Specification "Temporary Facilities & Controls 015000 3.4 Security and Protection Facilities Installation

G) Site Enclosure Fence states:

Before construction operations begin, furnish and install site enclosure fence in a manner that will prevent people and animals from easily entering site except by entrance gates.

1) Extent of Fence: As required to enclose entire project site or portion determined sufficient to accommodate construction operations.

If the contractor prefers not to enclose the entire area as determined by the given limits of construction they may do so with the approval of the Contracting Officer (ie - just enclose the area where the construction of structures is occurring.) However, if an incident were to occur outside of the controlled perimeter were to occur the contractor would be still be responsible for injury or damages.

The contractor must provide access to the existing UTES building during construction.

Q47. Reference Plan C-141 and C-512 regarding drain structures Ac and Ab. It calls for 36” diameter pipe between the structures and out to the flared end but given the rim and flow line elevations the outside diameter of pipe is too big or structures are too small. Please advise corrective measure.

Q47 ANSWER: Several typographic errors have been observed on the plan portion of Sheet C-141. The typographic error are shown in bold, italic and underline print below:

Inlet Aa: Top = 156.25, Rim = 155.75, FL = 151.47

Inlet Ab: Top = 156.44, Rim = 155.95, FL = 151.71

Given a wall thickness of 4” at the crown of the pipe and the 36” diameter with the flowline of the pipe set at the flowline of the structure and a grate frame depth of 5”, it appears that the concrete depth from the crown of the pipe to the top of the wall is 0.53’ and 0.49’ for structures Aa and Ab respectively. The contractor may substitute

Concrete Arch pipe or Concrete Elliptical pipe equal to the equivalent round pipe diameter (36”)

Q48. Reference plan C-512, the detail provided is for a Double Grate Drop Inlet, Single Grate Drop Inlet not shown. Please provide detail for the Single Grate Drop Inlets.

Q48 ANSWER: The single grate drop inlet should be constructed in the same manner as the double grate drop inlet with the exception of the width. Contractor is to simply reduce the 5’ width to allow the single grate to be supported on three sides of the concrete box. Install the W6x15.5 steel beam as indicated in the double box not so much for the support of the frame but for support of the concrete lid structure.

Q49. Please provide further clarification regarding the general applicability of the UFC and UFGS to this project.

More specifically, would you please clarify whether bidders are expected to consider only the UFC/UFGS standards referenced in the contract documents, or whether bidders should consider all applicable UFC/UFGS standards in preparing their bids?
