Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides responses to vendor questions regarding the 140R4026B0001 NGWSP solicitation, specifically addressing clarifications for Block 2-3 Pipeline.

• Buy America/Funding: Federal government funding for this project requires adherence to Specification Section 01 61 10 - Buy American and FAR 52.225-11 Buy American - Construction Materials Under Trade Agreements.
• Pipe Material: Specification Section 33 11 12 will be updated to allow ASTM A139 Grade C, D, or E coil type for pipe and fittings.
• Welding After Backfill: Reclamation requires joint coating repair prior to backfill after welding. "Weld after backfill" techniques are not permitted due to corrosion risk.
• Insurance: While the government does not anticipate needing specific insurance per FAR 28.306, contractors are required to have minimum coverage per FAR 28.307-2 (Employer's liability $100k, Bodily injury $500k, Automobile liability $200k/$500k/$200k).
• Tank Coatings: Proposed waterproofing systems for exterior concrete tanks are technically acceptable as "or equal" products from a corrosion standpoint.
• Tank Height & Overflow: Tank wall height may be determined by the manufacturer, provided it accommodates the overflow weir elevation plus 2 feet of freeboard. Maximum water surface elevation should not exceed 5462.9 elevation.
• Handrails: A 3-rail full perimeter handrail is required for all tank types.
• Silt Stops: Silt stops are not required and will be removed from specifications.
• Hatch Requirement: Only one hatch is required for all tank types.
• Floor Type: A standard concrete reinforced floor is acceptable.
• Manways: 30-inch manways are not required for concrete tanks.
• Drain Line: A 6-inch drain line is not required for water storage tanks.
• Geotechnical Report: A full geotechnical report will be forthcoming in a future amendment.
• Drones/UAS: Drone usage is permitted for site recognition prior to bid submission and during contract performance, but contractors must verify and comply with all applicable rules and regulations for Reclamation, BLM, Navajo Nation, and state lands.
• Water Source: The waterline shown on plan sheets is owned by Reclamation for the NGWSP and is not a potable water source.
• HDD Testing: HDD segments will be hydrostatically tested by the HDD contractor after installation as part of their separate contract. Flushing and disinfection includes HDD segments for a continuous run.
• Additional Excavation: Unsuitable material encountered will be treated as a differing site condition; an allowance item will not be added to the Price Schedule.
• Mortar Bands: Mortar bands may be acceptable if they meet essential characteristics per Specification Section 33 05 21.
• Annular Space: The annular space between the carrier pipe and casing pipe will be filled by spacers and runners; pressure grout is for casing pipe and excavated borings.

Several specifications and drawings will be updated via amendment to reflect these clarifications. Bidders should review these responses carefully as they modify or clarify requirements previously stated in the solicitation documents.
