SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION 00010 - SOLICITATION CONTRACT FORM

The required response date/time has changed from 17-Jul-2018 02:00 PM to 31-Jul-2018 02:00 PM.

SECTION 00100 - BIDDING SCHEDULE/INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS

The following have been added by full text:

Requests for Information Durham Meadows Waterline

1. In the specifications for this project it specifies AWWA D110 type III tanks. Is there an option for a proposal for AWWA D 115 tanks on this project? Approvals from the Connecticut Department of Health and the City of Middletown are based on the construction of an AWWA D110, Type III water tank. There is no option for an AWWA D 115 tank.

2. The specs state that there is a mandatory winter shutdown from December 1st to March 30th. Does this include all work on the project including the tank, pump stations, etc.? Are the contract calendar days suspended during this period or do the winter days count toward the 1,095 calendar days allotted for the project? The winter shutdown includes all field work; refer to 01 11 00, 1.1.1. The 1095 calendar days begins with notice-to-proceed and continues for all consecutive days including winter shutdown days.

3. Uniformed Police Officers are listed on the bid form as a Lump Sum. Can this item be changed to hourly or daily? It is very difficult to accurately estimate how many officers will be needed for a project of this size. The police officers line item shall remain lump sum.

4. Is Bid Item #0058 – Removal and Disposal of Contaminated Material intended to cover all excess polluted, contaminated, hazardous materials encountered regardless of the level of contamination and disposal facility? Is the contractor responsible for all disposal costs? Refer to revised section 01 22 00, Subpart 1.4, Section fff. for clarification of this line item.

5. Is the contractor responsible for the costs of all testing? (i.e. concrete testing, compaction testing, etc.) Yes, contractor is responsible for all costs of testing. Refer to specification section 01 45 00 for general QC requirements. Additional QC requirements may be listed in other specification sections.

6. Is there any possibility of working at night on Rt. 17, the spec states that the contractor must maintain two way traffic except during the hours of 9am – 2pm Mon – Fri. This is very prohibitive and will result in much longer durations. Night work will be allowed in Durham and on State Roads only. Refer to revised section 01 11 00, 1.9.1.

If/when Middletown confirms permission for night work, a subsequent amendment will be issued.

7. Bid Item #0086 for Construction Water Analytical Testing is a lump sum. Can this be changed to an allowance or unit price per test? This bid item will remain lump sum.

AMENDMENT 0001 OF SOLICITATION

1.1 CHANGES TO SPECIFICATIONS

1.1.1 Narrative Changes

1. Section 01 11 00 SUMMARY OF WORK, Subpart 1.9.1 "Hours of Operations";

in the first paragraph delete the first sentence in its entirety and insert the following in its place:

"Normal daytime work hours are from 7:00 a.m. through 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. The Contractor will also be permitted to work night time hours, in Durham only and on State Routes only, from 8:00 p.m.

through 5:00 a.m, Monday through Friday. Work on private property and in private residences will only be allowed during the normal daytime work hours. These hours of operations are further subject to the restrictions described in Section 01 50 00 TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION FACILITIES AND CONTROLS, Subpart 3.6 TRAFFIC PROVISIONS AND TRAFFIC CONTROL PLAN, and as described in Subpart 1.9.2 "Restrictions During Annual Durham Fair", and Subpart 1.9.3 "Restrictions in School Area" of this section of the specifications."

2. Section 01 22 00 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT, Subpart 1.4 BIDDING SCHEDULE

- PAYMENT ITEMS, Section fff. Item Number 0058, "Removal and Disposal of Contaminated Material"; insert the following after the first paragraph in this section:

"This Bid Item covers the removal and disposal costs of contaminated material that exists at 203R Main Street. Analytical information for soil at this location is in the Appendix to the section of the specifications entitled "Subsurface Investigation Results for the Durham Meadows Waterline RD". The extent of the contamination can be determined from the information on Sheet C-21 of the contract drawings.

If contaminated soil is discovered by the Contractor during the prosecution of the work at other locations with similar contamination to that found at 203R Main Street, this line item will cover removal and disposal of the newly discovered contaminated soil.

Should contaminated soil be discovered by the Contractor during the prosecution of the work with more extensive contamination requiring removal and disposal procedures different from that of this bid item, the Contractor will be required to satisfy the requirements for establishing a differing site condition under FAR 52.236-2 "Differing Site Conditions", in order for the Government to consider an equitable adjustment to the contract.

Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year.

Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)).

The body of each wage determination lists the classification and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of "identifiers" that indicate whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local), a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate (weighted union average rate).

Union Rate Identifiers

A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than "SU" or "UAVG" denotes that the union classification and rate were prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:

PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of the union which prevailed in the survey for this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198 indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1, 2014.

Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing this classification and rate.

Survey Rate Identifiers

Classifications listed under the "SU" identifier indicate that no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As this weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non-union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a new survey is conducted.

Union Average Rate Identifiers

Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate that no single majority rate prevailed for those classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010 08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is based.

WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS

1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be:

* an existing published wage determination

* a survey underlying a wage determination

* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter

* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling

On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.)

and 3.) should be followed.

With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal process described here, initial contact should be with the Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to:

Branch of Construction Wage Determinations Wage and Hour Division U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an interested party (those affected by the action) can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator (See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to:
