Question 5: Question 6: Appendix F of the RFB show a Cash Allowance for Permits, Please Clarify which Permits are required. Refer to Construction Agreement, 4.6 and Section 01210 for description of permits. Contractor is responsibly to obtain. Removal and lowering of equipment into the lower level of the pipe gallery will require the use of the existing 30-ton bridge crane. Please indicate whether Plant Operations will allow the contractor to use of the crane and whether a GLWA operator will be available to operate the crane as needed. Refer to Section 01110, page 4. Question 7: I would like to request another site visit of this project. Please let me know if this is possible. Refer to Addendum No. 2. Weiss Construction Co. LLC email dated 6/11/2018 Question 1: Given the current bid due date s close proximity to the July 4th holiday, we respectfully request that the bid due date be extended a few days to allow for the necessary coordination for an accurate bid to take place. Refer to Addendum No. 2. Question 2: Question 3: We respectfully request a second site walkthrough be scheduled. See response to Clark Construction Question 7 included in this Please confirm this project has an anticipated Notice to Proceed of October/November 2018 as mentioned in the pre-bid conference. This is correct; the anticipated Notice to Proceed is in October 2018. Question 4: Question 5: Given the complexity of the construction sequencing, work restrictions, and coordination with other contracts, it will not be feasible to submit an accurate schedule in accordance with Appendix G of the RFB. Please confirm the submission of a plausible construction schedule will be satisfactory at the time of bid. Please also confirm that the contractor will not be held accountable for deviations from the dates shown in the bid schedule. Contractor shall submit a schedule that best anticipates the constraints as provided in the contract documents. Any assumptions or restrictions shall be noted on the schedule. Given the complexity of the construction sequencing, work restrictions, coordination with other contracts, and lead times for equipment and refurbishment, the targeted completion Page 4 of 8
dates of July 1, 2020 (Substantial) and October 1, 2020 (Final) do not appear to be feasible. We respectfully request the contract duration be extended ten months to include an additional Non-Peak season to allow the contract work to be completed based on the assumption of an October/November 2018 NTP. This would result in a targeted Substantial Completion date of May 1, 2021 and a targeted Final Completion date of July 1, 2021.
