Questions and answers from pre-bid site visit to Surry Mountain Emergency Gate Painting, 30 January 2018.

1. Can the Contractors remove the handrails that currently surround the gate? Answer: Yes.

2. Is there lead in the paint? Answer: Yes, it should be assumed that the paint contains both lead and PCBs.

The concentration is not known.

3. Can the floor grate be put into place into the existing slots in the floor once the gate has been raised all the way up? Answer: Yes.|

4. What is the distance between the bottom of the gate and the top of the floor grate when the gate is in the full up position? Answer: 6 inches.

5. Is painting the angle iron that is embedded in the floor concrete, that the floor grate rests on part of this contract? Answer: No.

6. Are the roller chains that are on both sides of the gate to be blasted and painted as part of this contract?

Answer: No, do not include any costs involved in removing these items. Simply plan on leaving them in place in the gate, and blocking and protecting them from the abrasive blasting and painting of the rest of the gate.

7. Is this area a confined space? Answer: Due to the limited egress of the stairway and door leading up to the operating level, yes.

8. How can Contractors get their equipment into this space? Answer: Contractors can request that Government personnel use the chain hoist to remove the floor plates that cover the openings in the floor of the Operating level, which is the ceiling to the space where the gate is. Then Contractors must use their own rigging or their own gate hoist to set up over the resultant opening to bring their equipment down to the gate level. As per EM 385-1-1, this will require Contractors to submit lift plans for approval.

9. Are Contractors allowed to use the Government’s chain hoist? Answer: No.

10. Are Contractors allowed to use the overhead beam, located above the Operating level over the openings in the floor? Answer: Yes, but the max load that this beam can withstand is 500 pounds.

11. Does the window that is located high in the wall on the gate level open for ventilation? Answer: Yes.

12. Is there water available in the gatehouse? Answer: No.

13. Is there electricity available in the gatehouse? Answer: There is one outlet present on the gate level, and three outlets present on the Operating level that Contractors may use. These outlets are all 20 amps. If Contractors need more capacity than 20 amps, they must provide it themselves.

14. Where is the storage and staging area? Answer: Contractors can use the entire parking area directly in front of (ie on the south side of) the gatehouse. If needed, the public can be blocked from driving across the spillway bridge, but government personnel must be able to drive across the spillway bridge leading to the gatehouse.

15. Can you clarify what class of Containment will be needed? Answer: The Contractor is responsible for selecting the most appropriate class of containment that will meet the requirements as specified in Spec Section 09 97 02 PAINTING: HYDRAULIC STRUCTURES, Paragraph 1.3.3.2 Containment.

16. Can you clarify the requirement for the SSHO versus the CIH to be present on the site? Answer: In accordance with Paragraph C. Safety, subparagraph 4 and the EM 385-1-1, the SSHO must be present on-site at all times. In accordance with Spec Section 09 97 02, Paragraph 1.3 SAFETY, HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS” and all of the subparagraphs of Paragraph 1.3, the CIH must be present for all environmental, worker exposure and final clearance testing as stated.
