Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides answers to questions submitted by potential bidders following a site visit for the Rockfall site visit opportunity. It clarifies various aspects of the project, including work timing, site access, equipment limitations, and material requirements.

• Work Schedule: The task order work must be performed between October and February. The exact start date in October 2026 depends on contract award and State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) approvals.
• Geotechnical & Environmental: No geotechnical surveys have been conducted. Environmental aspects of NEPA permitting are drafted, but a cultural review by SHPO will be required post-award.
• Site Access & Staging: The south side of the spillway and the boat ramp parking area are available for staging. The north side parking lot can also be used for staging, with limited vehicle traffic on the dirt hillside. Access to the area south of the spillway will be limited to designated boundaries.
• Equipment Limitations: Equipment in the spillway cannot exceed 7,000 lbs (exclusive of load). No equipment can be placed on the concrete canal walls. The bridge over the spillway has a load capacity of no more than 12 tons.
• Fencing: The inner degraded fence is the contractor's responsibility. The outer fence can be opened during work and closed afterward. The lower degrading fence is to be removed and disposed of by the contractor.
• Materials: Appendix A has been revised to include galvanized cabling as an option instead of only stainless-steel cable. Materials used must be galvanically compatible (stainless with stainless, galvanized with galvanized).
