Questions for Lower Montoyas Water Quality Feature project:

Written Questions: CONTRACTOR #1

1) Question: Is the excess dirt, export, the property of SSCAFCA or can the awarded contractor use the export at will? Response: Bid Alternative 1 has been added to the Bid Form for the contractor to use the excess dirt elsewhere. Bid Alternative 2 shall be bid based on the spoil disposal locations provided on Sheet C-101.

2) Question: Can you please provide clarification for bid items #2 and #3; is the export of excess material (114,000 cy) part of the unclassified excavation (157,000 cy) or do we calculate moving 157,000 cy and an additional 114,000 cy for export?

Page 2: Lower Montoyas Water Quality Feature Construction Project ... · does not call for any tint. Sheets C-505 and C-507 call for tint at 1 lb. / sack. Sheet C-508 calls for tint at 2

Response: Bid Items have been revised. See Item #2 in the General Section of this addendum. 3) Question: Can a contractor bidding as Prime also have an interest in another bid as a

subcontractor? Response: No. A contractor may not bid as both a Prime and a subcontractor on the project.

4) Question: Given the fact that the DBE goal is over 40%, is there a minimum requirement for a Prime contractor’s work with its own forces? Response: There is no minimum percentage of the project that must be performed by that Prime contractor.

5) Question: Please let us know if the awarded contractor has complete access in the arroyo. Specifically, there is a break in the work from Station 34+00 until Station 46+00. Is the awarded contractor allowed unconditional access between these two locations or does he have to go around and find some other access point for both locations? To find other access points through the neighborhoods will add considerable cost to mobilization and de-mobilization, or does SSCAFCA consider the awarded contractor to have two operations at once. Response: Yes, the contractor has full access along the Arroyo between the two locations.

Written questions: CONTRACTOR #2

1. Question: EPA forms that require Subcontractor signature: Will a faxed or scanned copy of the signed form be accepted, or will an original signature from the subcontractor need to be provided with bid forms. Since many subs fax, email or call in pricing, and many do so within a short window before the bid opening, obtaining original signatures from subcontractors to include with our bid is difficult. Response: A faxed or PDF copy of the subcontractor’s signature will suffice on the 6100 forms. Bidders must make a good faith effort in soliciting for DBE sub-contractors and be able to show proof of this. This does not mean advertising 2-days in the Albuquerque Journal before bids are due.

2. Question: Article 7 – Attachments to this Bid, states that form 6100-2 be submitted with the bid. However, the nature of this form is to allow subcontractors to comment on work received and/or conditions of the project. The form heading states that subcontractors can complete and submit this form at any time during the duration of the project. This form would be difficult to have filled out by potential subcontractors prior to contract award. Does this form have to be submitted with the bid? Response: No, the 6100-2 form may be submitted after award of the contract. Forms to be submitted with the bidders bid package must include 6100-3 and 6100-4.

3. Sheet C-301 calls for shotcrete to be tinted San Diego Buff (1 lb. / sack). The 8” concrete ramp does not call for any tint. Sheets C-505 and C-507 call for tint at 1 lb. / sack. Sheet C-508 calls for tint at 2 lb / sack. What ratio of tint is to be provided? Should the 8” concrete ramp be tinted? Please clarify. Response: The concrete for Riser #1 shown on Sheet C-505, Riser #2 shown on Sheet C-507, and the Montana Flume shown on Sheet C-508 shall not be tinted. All exposed surfaces of Riser #1, Riser #2 and the Montana Flume shall receive a “Thorocoat” San Diego Buff medium finish. Cost for “Thorocoat” shall be incidental to each bid item. The 8” concrete ramp shall be tinted with 1 lb. per sack of cement.

Page 3: Lower Montoyas Water Quality Feature Construction Project ... · does not call for any tint. Sheets C-505 and C-507 call for tint at 1 lb. / sack. Sheet C-508 calls for tint at 2

4. Section B on sheet C-506 is requiring an 8’ deep x 10’ cutoff trench filled with grout at the nose of boulder islands. Under which bid item is this paid? Please clarify. Response: Bid Item #3 has been revised for payment of Grout. The 8’ x 10’ cutoff trench filled with grout shall be paid for under bid item #3.

5. Are the “faux boulders” only located randomly with the real boulders in shotcreted areas? Or are they also in islands and backwater structures? Please clarify. Response: The faux boulders are only located within structures #2, #3 and #4. There are no faux boulders in the islands or backwater structures.

6. The item to be removed for bid item 15 is completely buried. Please provide a detail of this existing structure. Response: The as-built drawing of the existing inlet structure is included with this addendum.

7. Bid item 26 requires the new boulders to be light brown. Do you have a known source for a boulder this color? If so please provide. Response: The boulders may be any color except black. Basalt is not allowed. No specific source of this material is being identified in this bid.

8. Sheet C-506 has a detail for a typical grouted boulder. Other sections and details on this same sheet depict the amount of grout around the boulders completely different. Should each boulder be installed per the one typical detail or the other sections and details? Please clarify. Response: Sheet C-506 shall be replaced with Revised Sheet C-506, as attached. The “Typical Grouted Boulder Detail” shown on Sheet C-506 shall be installed for the Backwater Structures, Grouted Boulder Islands, the 66” storm drain outfall structure shown on Sheet C-508 and the Rundown/Outfall Structure shown on Sheet C-509. The “Boulder Cluster Detail” shall be installed within Structures #2, #3 and #4

9. Article 3 of the Instructions to Bidders says that within 3 days of Owners request, there are certain qualification statements that need to be turned in. Sometimes we will see the questionnaire in the specs, and we can get it ready as soon as possible, but I don’t see any forms in these specs. If requested will this information be asked on a specific form from the owner, or is it at contractors discretion which format to send the information in? Response: If this information is requested, the format will be at the contractor’s discretion.

Written Questions: CONTRACTOR #3

1) Questions: Referring to the detail for the faux boulders (labeled Typical Grouted Boulder) shown on sheet C-506, does the pay limit include the base footing, thus making about 1.89 CY per faux boulder? Response: Yes, the pay limit includes the base footing. The Detail name has been corrected on Revised Sheet C-506.

2) Question: On sheet C-506, the spillway section, Detail A Grouted Boulders in Shotcrete, and the Typical Grouted Boulder Detail appear to represent three different embedment options of grouting boulders depending upon where they are being placed. Is this true, or do all grouted boulders require the footing illustrated in the Typical Grouted Boulder Detail? Please clarify.

Page 4: Lower Montoyas Water Quality Feature Construction Project ... · does not call for any tint. Sheets C-505 and C-507 call for tint at 1 lb. / sack. Sheet C-508 calls for tint at 2

Response: Sheet C-506 shall be replaced with Revised Sheet C-506, as attached. The Boulders in Shotcrete for Structures #2 thru #4 do not require the footing as shown in the Typical Grouted Boulder Detail.

3) Question: Do you have a source for the color of boulder that is being requested? Response: The boulders may be any color except black. Basalt is not allowed. No specific source of this material is being identified in this bid.

4) Question: EPA Form 6100-2 appears to be a form to be provided by the Prime contractor to the DBE once the work is awarded. The DBE then fills out the form and may submit it at any time during the project. As such, this document would not be a bid document to be submitted with the Bid. Please clarify if this form is required to be submitted at the time of the bid. Response: No, the 6100-2 form may be submitted after award of the contract. Forms to be submitted with the bidders bid package must include 6100-3 and 6100-4.

5) Can digital photography be used in lieu of “video taping” to satisfy the requirement identified in 1600.3.1.2 item 5.? Digital photography provides much clearer and better resolution for identifying existing cracks in structures. Response: Yes, digital photography may be used in lieu of “video taping”.

Written Questions: CONTRACTOR #4

1) Question: There are several places in the plans that are calling out and detailing the thickness of shotcrete to be 6” and the Unit Bid Item #17 calls out 4” thick PCC Shotcrete. The item is by the CY so the material should be covered. Should the bid item description be changed to 6” instead of 4”? Response: The item description has been changed to PCC Shotcrete in the Bid Form, see attached revised Bid Form. Shotcrete shall be paid per cubic yard and shall include the 14” thick Shotcrete per the “Boulder Cluster Detail” shown.

2) Question: Based on the details provided on Sheet C-501 it would appear that the drop structure #1 is constructed primarily of Dumped Riprap. However, Sheet C-506 spillway section shows shotcrete and boulder placement which conflicts with the details shown on C-501. Can a detail be provided to better show where the boulder and/or shotcrete is to be constructed at structure #1, or clarification to explain how the spillway section shown on C-506 is to be constructed at this structure? Response: Structure #1 shall be constructed with dumped riprap as shown on Sheet C-501. There are no boulders/shotcrete at Structure #1. The dimensions shown on the spillway section on Sheet C-506 are correct for Structure #1.

3) It was mentioned at the Pre-bid meeting that basalt boulders and riprap was not to be used on this project. Can you confirm this preference as a requirement? Response: The boulders may be any color except black. Basalt is not allowed. Riprap shall be the same color and from the same source as the boulders.

4) Can a bid item be added to the project to account for the grout associated with the boulders; with quantities measured by the cubic yard? Based on the detail provided on C-506 for the 30” Boulders and Faux Boulders given the quantities of each on the bid form, would require over 4000 CYs of grout. It is not clear in the plans where every specific boulder or faux boulder will

Page 5: Lower Montoyas Water Quality Feature Construction Project ... · does not call for any tint. Sheets C-505 and C-507 call for tint at 1 lb. / sack. Sheet C-508 calls for tint at 2

be placed leaving a huge amount of discretion up to the Project manager on actual placement. We believe that SSCAFCA would get a better price overall if a bid item was added for the grout as opposed to being incidental to the boulder placement. Response: Bid Item #3 has been revised for the payment of Grout. See attached Revised Bid Form.

5) The teardrop islands shown on C-105 are pretty straight forward as well as the one teardrop on Sheet C-106. However, there are three other areas that are identified by Keynote #2 as being islands. Are the boulders shown on the plan sheet accurate for quantity and placement of boulders in these areas? Do these areas require the 8’ deep grout blanket (if so – where)? Response: The boulders shown on the plan sheet are accurate for quantity and placement of the boulders in these areas. These areas do not require the 8’ deep grout blanket.

6) Are the boulders shown at each of the teardrop islands accurate for quantity and placement location on sheets C-105 and C-106? Response: The boulders shown at each of the teardrop islands is accurate for quantity and placement as shown on Sheets C-105 and C-106.

7) What is the spacing requirement for the boulders placed at the toe of the slope on sheets C-105 and C-106? Response: The spacing requirement is 5’ maximum clear space between boulders.

8) On sheet L2-01 top left hand corner, regarding Note 1: “Cuttings must be incorporated during the dormant season (November to March)…” Based on the current schedule for Award, NTP and time necessary to construct the work, it is unreasonable to assume that these planting can be accomplished prior to the March cutoff and Contract time will have elapsed by the November window. Will SSCAFCA provide a variance to plant this material outside of the dormant season? Please clarify what is expected regarding this timing issue. Response: Assuming the construction of the first drop structure occurs outside the live cutting

dormant season (i.e. November - March), the contractor is to install a temporary 6" diameter

PVC sleeve 7-8 ft. long at each live cutting planting location for future plant installation. The

sleeve is to extend 2 ft. into the sub grade below the bottom of the 3 ft. riprap material.

During the live cutting dormant season (November - March) the live cuttings are to be planted

by inserting the cuttings into the sleeves so the bottoms are firmly lodged in the sub grade and

the sleeves removed in their entirety.

Sleeve costs are to be included in the live cutting install costs (Bid Item #32 Shrubs, Whips (8'

Length)).

Written Questions: CONTRACTOR #5

1) Please clarify what is meant by bid item 35 Amended backfill (water management polymers) and bid item 37 amended backfill (organic mulch, mix 1:4; water management polymers). The polymer product manufacturer’s application rate is in pounds and it is sold by the pound and not by the cubic yard so it is unclear how to provide pricing for these options. Response: Bid items 35 Amended Backfill (water management polymers) and 37 Amended

Backfill (organic mulch, mix 1:4; water management polymers) call for polymers to be applied

Page 6: Lower Montoyas Water Quality Feature Construction Project ... · does not call for any tint. Sheets C-505 and C-507 call for tint at 1 lb. / sack. Sheet C-508 calls for tint at 2

at the manufacturer's specified application rate. The manufacturer can provide a calculation

to determine the quantity of product needed for the volume of amended backfill indicated on

the bid form.

2) Specification 329000 planting section 3.02 D calls for mulch. It states if not indicated on the

drawings, for bid purposes, assume four 94) inch layer of tan gravel. Details on L2-01 show no mulch to the trees. Detail 4 shows some shrubs to receive cobble mulch and detail 5 shows some shrubs without any mulch. Please clarify whether or not tan mulch is required and whether filter fabric is required under cobble or tan mulch. Response: Except in locations indicated by provided details where cobble mulch is called for,

no mulch or filter fabric is required as part of the bid.

Written Questions: CONTRACTOR #6

1) Structure #1 on Sheet C-103, keynote #1 refers to Sheet C-501 for the drop structure and C-506 for the spillway. C-501 Section A shows Dumped Rip Rap while C-506 shows grouted boulders. Which surfacing is correct for structure #1? Response: Structure #1 shall be constructed with dumped riprap as shown on Sheet C-501.

There are no boulders/shotcrete at Structure #1. The dimensions shown on the spillway

section on Sheet C-506 are correct for Structure #1.

2) The geotechnical report states that “The moisture content of the fill or backfill, during compaction, should be within 2 percent of the optimum moisture content.” General Note 29 on sheet G-002 states that structural fill needs to be 2% above optimum. Can you clarify that the moisture content can be +/- 2% of optimum as opposed to at +2%. Typically the required moisture content is given within a band or range. Response: The range for structural fill is from optimum to plus 2%. Anything above optimum plus 2%, or below optimum will not be accepted.

3) Can you provide any proctors (max dry density and moisture content) that might have been taken on the sampled material in the Geotechnical report? This will help in determining the water requirements for the project. Response: There are no proctors available. Proctors are not typically completed for design. They are completed at the beginning of construction for quality control and quality assurance.

4) The structural fill required as shown on G-002 shows a band of 10-35% passing on the No. 200 Sieve. Only one sample of the of the 4 tested meets this requirement. If there is not enough material onsite that meets the requirements to blend with the out of spec material to produce the structural fill, will we be required to import?

Response: The percent passing the No. 200 sieve shall be less than 35%. Geotechnical test results indicate that existing native soils should be suitable for structural fill and backfill provided it is free of vegetation and debris and contains no rocks larger than 3 inches.

5) The provided form ‘XP-215’ shows MBE/WBE/SBRA utilization percentages. Are these

percentages a requirement of the project or a goal?

Page 7: Lower Montoyas Water Quality Feature Construction Project ... · does not call for any tint. Sheets C-505 and C-507 call for tint at 1 lb. / sack. Sheet C-508 calls for tint at 2

Response: These percentages are a goal that the bidder must try to meet. This is not a requirement.

6) Are the percentages cumulative? Response: No, the percentages are not cumulative.

7) If the percentages shown are a goal, does answering ‘No’ to any of the other questions on ‘XP-215’ result in a non-responsive bid? Response: If the bidder responds “No” to the questions on form XP-215, they will be considered non-responsive and the bidder’s bid will be rejected. Attached is a help guide in responding to XP-215 questions. Note, that if the prime is a DBE this does not account for meeting the goals. EPA requires the solicitation of DBE sub-contractors.

8) Will not achieving the goal result in a non-responsive bid? Response: Not achieving the percentage goals does not result in a non-responsive bid. The bidder must make a valid attempt at soliciting for DBE sub-contractors. Advertising in a local publication and providing affidavit of publication and sending out letters/faxes to DBE’s is considered a good faith effort. Advertising 2-days in a local publication 2-days before bids are due is not considered a good faith effort. A minimum of 10-days before bids are due is considered in good faith.

9) Do the forms ‘6100-2’, ‘6100-3’, and ‘6100-4’ need to be submitted at the time of bid? Response: Forms 6100-3 and 6100-4 must be submitted at the time of bid. 6100-2 may be

executed after award of the contract.

10) How will DBE usage be verified on this project? Response: NMED-CPB will utilize the DOT website for verification of DBE’s https://nmdot.dbesystem.com/FrontEnd/VendorSearchPublic.asp?XID=2051&SessionID=&SessionFlag=3R08EJW3&TN=nmdot or contact the Small Business Administration or the Minority Business Development Agency to verify DBE usage.

Questions from Pre-Bid:

1. Question: Are the faux boulders specified in the bidding documents installed locally? Response: No. Examples of this type of work come from the Phoenix area. See below for web links to help bidders understand the appearance we are looking for. http://www.howtomakerocks.com/texture-mats.html http://californiarocksusa.com/artificial-rock-sculpting/ http://www.artificialrock.ca/sculpting2.html

2. Question: What is the pay quantity for the boulders? There appears to be a conflict in the plans. Response: The payment for boulders is per each. Sheet C-506 shall be replaced with Revised Sheet C-506, as attached. The pay limit for the grout is covered in the Typical Grouted Boulder

Page 8: Lower Montoyas Water Quality Feature Construction Project ... · does not call for any tint. Sheets C-505 and C-507 call for tint at 1 lb. / sack. Sheet C-508 calls for tint at 2

Detail on Sheet C-506. The pay limit for Faux Boulders is shown on the Typical Faux Boulder Detail on Sheet C-506.

3. Question: What color of boulder is acceptable for the project? Response: The boulders may be any color except black. Basalt is not allowed. One potential source of these boulders is the San Pedro quarry. However, this is not the only source that may be used, bidders may identify other sources of boulders.

4. Question: Will bidders have access to the site for pre-bid inspection? Response: Yes. The site is open for inspection.

5. Question: Does rip-rap need to match the boulder color? Response: Yes. Rip-rap shall be the same color and from the same source as the boulders. The existing riprap at the 66” storm drain outlet shown on Sheet C-105 shall be removed and disposed. Bid Item #20 has been revised per attached Revised Bid Form. End of questions. Please signify on your Bid Form acknowledgment of receipt of Addendum No. 4.
