Force Main Addendum No. 1- June 30, 2023

Addendum No. 1
Request for Clarifications (RFC) Questions

1. Do you have an Engineer’s Estimate for this project? City of Beaumont Response: The City does not provide engineer's estimates during bidding.

2. What is the engineer’s estimate for this project?
City of Beaumont Response: The City does not provide engineer's estimates during bidding.

3. Do you have an Engineer’s Estimate for the Beaumont Mesa Lift Station Force Main project that bids on 07/11/23?
City of Beaumont Response: The City does not provide engineer's estimates during bidding.

4. Item 32 Caltrans coordination will almost certainly require an encroachment permit, even just to have a road work ahead sign on the offramp would require one and we can’t know the permit costs until after submitting the application and traffic plan which will have to be engineered and after that they will calculate the costs of the permit. This item can't be accurately or fairly bid and should be changed to a preset allowance item or omitted entirely and the responsibility of cost placed on the city of Beaumont.

City of Beaumont Response: See Special Conditions SC-07 for the work and costs related to Caltrans permit and coordination.

5. Section GC07 section f states that the contractor has to bear the costs of review of substitutions of "or equal" items. Wouldn't that review process already take place during the submittal process and therefore warrant no extra charge to the contractor? City of Beaumont Response: Correct, there will be no extra charges or additional compensation for submittal reviews.

6. Section GC29 - Will all of these items be required? A field office with heating/AC fax machine, phone line, etc.

City of Beaumont Response: No Field Office is required, see Special Condition SC-19.

7. Section GC46 section c states "paid no later than sixty (35) Days.." Is it 60 days or 35 days? City of Beaumont Response: Payment shall be per the general conditions.

8. Section SC-12 Calls for piping, appurtenances, etc. removals and testing and flushing and all costs are supposed to be included but we don’t know what the existing lines condition is or the joints and if it will even withstand a hydrostatic test. Also you mention dechlorination.

Are there chlorination and Bac-T's required then? How can we bid all these unknowns accurately and fairly?
City of Beaumont Response: For bidding purposes, Contractor shall assume that the existing pipeline can be pressure tested as described in Appendix G of the specifications. De-chlorination is necessary due to the chlorine residual from the water source. Additional chlorination and Bac-T of the lines is not required.

CIP WW-09 Beaumont Mesa Lift Station
Force Main Addendum No. 1- June 30, 2023

9. The run along Western Knolls gets close to the fence line. Do you anticipate removing portions of the fence along the freeway edge on Western Knolls?
City of Beaumont Response: The contractor should use shoring and other available methods in order to avoid having to remove and replace portions of the fence.

10. Plan sheet 3 of 18 calls out for a 2" Air Valve per detail on sheet 15. There are no details for a 2" Air Valve on sheet 15. Please Advise.

City of Beaumont Response: 2" Air Valve shall be provided with a cover per Detail 1 on Sheet 18, connection to force main shall be a 2-in saddle outlet with a corp stop and DI Pipe.

11. Section GC29 of the General Conditions specifies a field office trailer and amenities for the inspectors. Q1) Is there a site location earmarked for the trailer that currently has power? Q2) Will the inspectors trailer require an additional portable sanitary facility? City of Beaumont Response: No Field Office is required, see Special Condition SC-19.

2. During construction, the existing facilities must remain in operation. Therefore, the Contractor must protect the existing force main in place and follow a sequential removal and construction approach for the facilities at the intersection of Nicholas Road and 4th Street.

1.7 CONSTRUCTION AND SCHEDULE CONSTRAINTS

1. Construction of the Work may require short disruptions of the facilities to make critical connections or replace infrastructure. Contractor shall schedule and conduct activities to enable existing facilities to operate continuously, unless otherwise specified. Contractor shall provide temporary facilities, bypass systems, or other approved means to ensure continuous operation of facilities to meet system operational and emergency demands.

2. Contractor shall notify Engineer and Owner in writing at least 14 working days in advance of any operation that will disrupt Owner's facilities or operations or any required shutdown. Prior to removing any portion of the existing facilities, submit and obtain Engineer and Owner approval for all submittals required to construct the proposed improvements.

3. Clearly demonstrate in the CPM Schedule and other submittals, to the satisfaction of the Owner and the Engineer, the Contractor's ability to complete the Work requiring an interruption of service (shutdown work) within the allowable duration. The Contractor is responsible for any required dewatering and including this effort in the shutdown schedules.

4. If the Contractor does not clearly demonstrate the ability to complete the shutdown work in the CPM Schedule proposed during a shutdown period, the Owner reserves the right to limit the scope of the shutdown work which the Contractor may undertake.

5. Opportunities for shutdown of existing force main operation will be limited to periods of low flows and of very limited duration. The periods of daily low flows are typical associated with hours between 10:00 PM and 6:00 AM.

1.8 SEQUENCE OF CONSTRUCTION
A. The following paragraphs are provided as guidance to the Contractor with the intent of providing general information regarding the required sequencing of construction of individual processes and infrastructure. It is not the intent of the following paragraphs to identify all the work required to be in place for any given connection.

1.4 CLASSIFIED AREAS
A. The adjacent site is an active wastewater lift station that must remain operational and online at all times. Consequently, construction activities for this project will involve working near equipment that must remain online and operational. In addition to the usual hazards of open, deep structures, manholes and equipment/machinery that is actively operating, many of these structures are considered classified zones (per NFPA 820) with potential hazards for fire and explosions due to the presence of explosive gases associated with wastewater.

B. Contractor shall take all additional precautions necessary when working within the classified zones and envelopes in these areas to prevent sparks, open flames, ignitions, and reduce the risk of fire or explosion. Precautions include but are not limited to: reviewing classified areas with all workers and subcontractors as part of the regular safety meetings and site orientation; providing proper PPE for workers entering classified areas; avoid using electrical tools, plugs, extension cords, welding equipment, open flames/heaters, and other potential sources for sparks or ignition within the classified envelopes; and following all guidelines and recommendations provided in NFPA and CALOSHA for working in classified areas,
C. Refer to Electrical Site Layout Drawings for NFPA 820 classified areas if needed.
