SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been added by full text:

AMENDMENT 0005

1. Please provide an estimate of the infiltration leakage that will have to be pumped?

a. The Government does not have an estimate. This will depend on how well the gate guide seats against the gates guide beams.

2. Please confirm that Government clause 52.229-3 applies and that the project is exempt from state of Massachusetts Sales Tax?

a. It is the contractor’s responsibility to determine tax liability. If applicable, the contractor may submit the applicable tax exemption documentation for a particular state to the Government for signature.

3. Please confirm that no Treatment of dewatering discharge is required?

a. Correct, no treatment required.

4. Can the Government provide the dimension of the existing sump pits shown on Drawing NBF-1-1105 as it is difficult to read? Is it 3-ft x 3-ft x 6” deep?

a. For bidding purposes, assume 3' X 3' X 2'-6" deep, but this will be confirmed at the pre-construction meeting.

5. Can the Government provide an estimate of the time it takes to re-fill the Gate Structure using the 24” Sluice Gate?

a. The government does not have an estimate.

6. Please reference Drawing S-101 and note that there are some inaccessible locations (near the ends of the Gate) of Gate Painting. For those areas, will the Government accept best possible blast and paint practices in lieu of the Specified Procedures?

a. Variances to the specifications can be submitted for review during construction, no change to specifications for bidding purposes.

7. For the Grating and Handrail that sits inside the Truss I horizontal girder, we assume that removal of grating will be necessary to paint the girder. However, the handrail posts are welded to the girder. Is it acceptable to mask off the vertical handrails attached to this girder? Alternatively, we could cut the post free and reweld to the girder and touch up paint. Which would the Government prefer?

a. The Government recommends not removing the handrails. Mask the handrails off to protect them during the painting process but leave them in place.

8. Please confirm that for the Walkway that sit on top of Truss I, the limit of Truss I painting will be the bottom of the W-shape post that supports this Walkway?

a. Yes, that is correct.

9. Per the project specifications, a Water Quality Certificate will be provided by the Government. Will the Water Quality Certificate be provided before the bid date and are additional costs anticipated under the certificate provisions?

a. Bids will not be opened prior to receiving the Water Quality Certificate. Additional costs are not anticipated due to Water Quality Certification conditions.

NOTE: Water Quality Certificate attached separately.
