The following have been added by full text:

AMEND 0011 SPEC CHANGE

AMENDMENT 0011 OF SOLICITATION

1. NARRATIVE CHANGES TO THE SPECIFICATION

1.1 SECTION 01 35 29, HEALTH, SAFETY, AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROCEDURES

FOR CONTAMINATED SITES - Replace this specification section in its entirety with a replacement SECTION 01 35 29, which accompanies this amendment.

END OF AMENDMENT 0010

RFI AMEND 0011

1. There is a discrepancy regarding document submittal and review times. The response to Amendment 9 Question 11 states that the table in PWS section 6.8.3 references initial (draft) submittal times. The table in the PWS Section 6.8.3 indicates 60 days. However, the response to Question 38 indicates that Drafts are due in 21 days and Finals are due in 60 days. Additionally, Section 6.8 indicates a 15-day government review time for draft deliverables, but section 5.1.2.2 indicates a 10-day minimum government review time for each government review phase. With the requirement for three review phases (draft, draft final, and final), the schedule for document finalization within 60 days does not give us adequate time to prepare the documents and incorporate government review times. Please confirm the duration we should schedule for each review phase, and whether drafts are due in 21 days or 60 days.

RESPONSE: Please see the edited Seed Task Order Performance Work Statement and edited IDIQ Performance Work Statement posted with Amendment 0011.

2. We are submitting on the Raymark RAC as part of a joint venture (JV), and the Seed

Task Order Rate spreadsheet is not setup for multiple markups associated with a JV submittal. For example, some subcontractors will be procured by the JV and the rest will be procured by one of the JV member firms. As a result, our bid will have 3 different markups on subcontractors. Can we submit our JV spreadsheet that handles the different markups very easily to provide the required backup detail?

RESPONSE: Please see the response to Amendment 0005, RFI #6. The offeror shall submit blended rates.

3. The Labor tab on the Seed Task Order Rate spreadsheet has hidden rows for labor categories beyond the 6 Key Personnel positions. Please clarify if the Labor backup is limited to the 6 Key Personnel or needs to be expanded to include other labor categories required including craft labor for self-performed work.

RESPONSE: Hidden rows do not need to be completed by offerors. The requirements for the six Key Personnel positions remain unchanged.

4. The Summary tab on the Seed Task Order Rate spreadsheet is set up to exclude fee on travel. We have had a clause in several of our USACE IDIQs prohibiting fee on travel. I did not see this clause in the Raymark RFP nor did I see any mention of fee on travel in the RFI. Will fee be prohibited on travel under the Raymark RAC?

RESPONSE: Yes.

5. The Travel tab on the Seed Task Order Rate spreadsheet is setup to not include markup on travel costs. Both members of the JV have accounting practices audited by DCAA that allow G&A on travel as part of our total cost input account systems. Will the Raymark RAC not allow markup on travel or is the Travel Tab in error?

RESPONSE: The Raymark RAC will not allow markup on travel.

6. Previous requirements for the contractor to have a website were listed in AECOM

Ambient Air Monitoring Plan. It appears that USACE has eliminated the entire AECOM Air Monitoring Plan requirements based on Amendment 9 Section 01 35 29, as it was not referenced or attached to the revised specification. Please confirm the AECOM Air Monitoring Plan requirements are not applicable to the seed TO and confirm if the contractor is required to “Develop a public website where the results of the air monitoring and sampling are viewable on a daily basis.”

RESPONSE: The AECOM Air Monitoring Plan requirements ARE applicable to the project.

Section 01 35 29 has been updated and the AECOM Air Monitoring Plan is provided. A public website where the results of the air monitoring and sampling results are viewable is part of this requirement. Instructions and a standard template will be provided to the selected contractor for data reporting and procedures.

The following have been modified:

Performance Work Statement For Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity

Remedial Services Contract

Raymark Superfund Site

Stratford, Connecticut

28 AUGUST 2018

Performance Work Statement For Remediation Action Contract

Raymark Superfund Site Stratford, Connecticut

Scope

The Raymark Industries, Inc. Superfund Site (the “Site”) includes areas that have been contaminated as a result of manufacturing processes from the former Raymark Industries, Inc. facility. The former Raymark Facility, which was located at 75 East Main Street in Stratford, Connecticut, operated from 1919 to 1989. Known as Raybestos- Manhattan, Inc., Raymark manufactured gaskets, clutches and heavy brake friction components for the automotive industry. Raymark generated wastes containing asbestos, lead, copper, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and a variety of solvents, adhesives, and resins as byproducts of its manufacturing operations. This resultant byproduct were available as “free fill” to the Town and residents. The Raymark waste that remains in the town of Stratford presents a threat to human health that needs to be addressed. The conceptual approach is comprehensive in that it addresses all Raymark waste in residential, commercial, and recreational properties.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved one Record of Decision (ROD) that specified the selected remedies for four operable units (OUs) of the Raymark Superfund Project. The specific OUs are OU2 (Groundwater Vapor Intrusion), OU3 (Upper Ferry Creek), OU4 (Raybestos Memorial Ballfield), and OU6 (Additional Properties). Although OU2 is part of the ROD, it is not included in this contract since Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CT DEEP) is responsible for the remedy at OU2.

The selected remedy incorporates the consolidation and capping of approximately 100,000 cubic yards of Raymark waste. Excavated Raymark waste from OUs 3 & 6 will be consolidated at the OU4 Memorial Ballfield and covered with a low-permeability cap.

Sediment and waste soil containing more heavily contaminated material that exceeds certain regulatory limits will be transported to a licensed out-of-town disposal facility.

Based on available data, approximately ten percent (10%) of the estimated volume (+/- 110,000 cubic yards (cy)) of excavated Raymark waste and sediment may exceed the regulatory Principal Hazardous Constituents (PHC) limits. Any Raymark waste that exceeds the PHC contamination threshold will be transported to a licensed out-of-town disposal facility. Refer to Figure 1 Attachment for site locations where Raymark waste is located.

OU3 (Upper Ferry Creek) encompass approximately seven acres, including approximately one acre of wetlands and one acre of open water, and consists primarily of three different areas: the delineated wetlands, the Upper Ferry Creek channel, and all ther soils (mainly bank soils). All of OU3 is located within the 100-year floodplain. OU3 requires excavation of the top two feet of channel sediment from the entire length of

Upper Ferry Creek from the I-95 culvert down to the Broad Street Bridge. Upper Ferry Creek bank soil (above the mean high water line) and adjacent wetland soil containing Raymark waste will be excavated to a depth of four feet. The bottom of each soil excavation will be lined with a geotextile fabric to serve as a warning layer, then backfilled with clean material, followed by site restoration. Based on available data, excavation and consolidation of Raymark waste from OU3 is estimated at 34,850 cy (Sediment = 4,650 cy, Wetlands = 7,600 cy & Streambank = 22,600 cy).

OU4 (Raybestos Memorial Ballfield) will be the consolidation of Raymark waste from OU3 and OU6 and eventually include the construction of a low-permeability cap. The cap will be constructed in a manner that will allow commercial redevelopment of the property while ensuring the continued containment of the underlying contamination.

OU4 has the capacity to receive approximately 100,000 cy of Raymark waste from OU3 and OU6.

OU6 (Additional Properties) is comprised of 22 non-contiguous commercial, recreational, and residential properties where Raymark waste was used to fill low-lying areas. OU6 requires excavation of the top four feet of soil areas containing Raymark waste from each property. The bottom of each soil excavation will be lined with a geotextile fabric to serve as a warning layer, then backfilled with clean material, followed by site restoration. Based on available data, excavation and consolidation of Raymark waste from OU6 is estimated at 71,000 cy.

Raymark waste-contaminated soil containing more heavily contaminated material that exceeds certain regulatory limits will be segregated during excavation and transported to a licensed out-of-town disposal facility. Based on available data, approximately ten percent (10%) of the estimated volume (+/-110,000 cubic yards (cy)) of excavated Raymark waste and sediment may exceed the regulatory Principal Hazardous Constituents (PHC) limits. Any Raymark waste that exceeds the PHC contamination threshold will be transported to an out-of-town licensed disposal facility. Refer to Figure 1 for site locations.
