SUMMARY OF CHANGES

The following have been added by full text:

Amendment 0003 RFI questions and responses.

1. After a review of the contract documents, we submit the following request:

1. Section 52.236-4 “Physical Data” on page 31 of the Solicitation states the following:

“The e4Sciences report, including xyz files of hard and fast materials, is located on the USACE-NAE public website: http://www.nae.usace.army.mil/Missions/Projectstopics/ Boston-Harbor/Boston-Harbor-Rock-Report-2014/.”

Please also make available to bidders the XYZ file of the top of Holocene material layer so that the Black Silt material may be quantified, as shown in Figure 21 of the e4 Sciences Comprehensive Report Sections 1-4, page 51.

Response:

The Hydrographic Survey X,Y, Z surface should be equivalent to the Top of Holocene X, Y, Z surface. Holocene age sediments are the most recent sediments. Therefore, the top surface of Holocene age sediments should correspond to the bathymetric survey.

2 The following information is presented to assist contractors who may want to utilize test pits.

Pre-bid use of test pits is not a contract requirement, and this information is presented for informational purposes only.

The test pits are self-verification under General Permit 19 Survey Activities on page 20 of the attached Massachusetts General Permit. Fill out the attached self-verification form and email it back to the Corps for our records. Also provide a plan of the approximate test pit locations as well as a pre and post survey of the test pits to make sure the work doesn't create a hazard to navigation. Coordinate with Norm Farris, Corps of Engineers Marine Analysis Section, for disposal of the material at MBDS. Test pits shall not be conducted within the FAA critical zones shown on bid documents. In addition contractors shall notify Mark Cutter prior to mobilization to Boston.

Please see and utilize the below two attachments.
