Amendment / Modification

This amendment addresses vendor questions and incorporates FAR 52.222-90 into the solicitation.

• Box Culvert Size: The size of the box culvert was confirmed as 8 ft span x 4 ft.

• Toe Wall Reinforcing: The toe wall reinforcing is specified as epoxy coated. The box culvert reinforcing is not explicitly mentioned as epoxy coated because the box is prefabricated, and the toe wall will be poured in place.

• Toe Wall Height: Clarification was provided regarding the toe wall height. The box is 8 inches thick, and the toe wall is 2 feet, resulting in an overall height of 2 feet 8 inches, not the 3 feet previously implied by a detail showing the toe wall 3-0 below the invert.

• FAR 52.222-90 has been added to page 7 of the solicitation.

All other terms and conditions of the original solicitation (RFQ) remain unchanged.

Amendment / Modification

This amendment addresses questions from prospective vendors regarding the solicitation.

• Road Closure Dates: The government confirmed specific dates when the road will need to be open, implying no work will occur during these times: May 21-25 and the July 4th weekend.
• Unsuitable Material Removal: Unsuitable material must be removed from the site to an off-Forest approved waste site.
• Box Culvert Definition: A box culvert is defined as a 4'x 8' concrete box culvert.
• Road Closure Clarification: The road will be closed, except for the specific days mentioned in Question 1.

This amendment provides clarifications and answers to vendor questions, impacting the understanding of requirements related to road closures, material disposal, and specific components (box culvert).

All other terms and conditions in the solicitation (RFQ) remain the same. No changes to proposal deadlines or submission requirements are indicated, beyond the need to incorporate the clarified information into proposals.
