WRITTEN QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (GROUP 1 OF 2)

PROJECT: 600 Zone Water Storage Tank

CONTRACT: WTR.00007

To: Prospective Bidders of Record

Date: April 28, 2016

The questions listed below are those that have been received via email at

[email protected] requesting clarifications to the Bidding Documents. The

corresponding answers are for information only and do not change the Bidding Documents for

the aforementioned Project. See Addendum No. 1 for any changes to the Bidding Documents

associated with these questions and answers.

Q1. Section 33 16 19 Part 1.05.B.1.b states “Passive mixing system inlet design and

representative CFD modeling results.” The plans show a mechanical mixer. Can an

addendum be issued to add the Tideflex Mixing System (TMS) as an alternate to the

mechanical mixer?

A1. See changes to the Bidding Documents per Addendum No. 1.

Q2. Section 33 16 19, Part 1.03.B.3.a/b references the tank's height as "field verify". Are

you requesting that we survey / match Loudoun Water’s other tank(s)?

A2. See changes to the Bidding Documents per Addendum No. 1.

Q3. Section 33 16 19, Part 1.03 E discusses the need for a "deep foundation". Since the

wording of sub-item E.4 (i.e. the mention of columns/risers) appears to be a "move-up"

from previous tank project (i.e a multi-legged style tank) is the reference to a "deep

foundation" also a carry-over? Otherwise, if the tank firm feels that something other

than a deep foundation is appropriate, I assume we can base on our bid on that instead?

Note(s) on Drawing(s) 29 & 30 seems to confirm this thinking.

A3. Per Section 31 23 17, Part 1.03.E of the Contract Documents, the

Contractor is to hire his own Geotechnical Engineer to determine a suitable

foundation for the tank. The need for a deep foundation shall be made by

the Tank Manufacturer’s Geotechnical Engineer, as registered in the

Commonwealth of Virginia.

Q4. Section 33 16 19, Part 1.06 A.2 - please confirm that Loudoun's Experience

Requirement requires the bidder to have built ten (10) Waterspheroid style tanks of 1

MMG or larger capacity, and in operation for the past ten years. And that this level

Page 9: ADDENDUM NO. 1 PROJECT: 600 Zone Water Storage … No. 1 & Q&As... · PROJECT: 600 Zone Water Storage Tank CONTRACT: ... double curvature pressed formed nature with a maximum of eight

2 of 5

takes precedence over the conflicting experience level(s) listed in Article 7.01.C of the

Bid Form (i.e. a watered down version that only requires 3 tanks in the past 5 years; it

also appears to allow someone other than the tank designer/installer to bid as the Prime

on this project) as well as tank spec item 1.5.A.1 (Submittals), both of which will

require revision to match the ten-in-ten requirement.

A4. See changes to the Bidding Documents per Addendum No. 1.

Q5. Section 33 16 19, Part 1.06 A.2.a.2 - the second Tank Manufacturer listed has zero

experience with this style of tank (when considering large capacities such as this one)

and thus the name should be deleted.

A5. No changes to the Bidding Documents will be made.

Q6. Section 33 16 19, Part 3.02.B.4 - please confirm that we are to seal-weld the interior /

underside of the tank's lap welded roof plates. We typcially recomend this so as to

increase the tank's lifespan.

A6. See changes to the Bidding Documents per Addendum No. 1.

Q7. Sheet 29 - The 'ground floor plan' shows the use of a 12' x 12' overhead door. This is

extremely large for this style of tank (Waterspheroid) and will require extensive

stiffening of the tank's "bell" in order to allow this large of an opening. In addition it

will be costly, and thus we suggest Loudoun consider whether a 10' x 10' (or even

smaller) door would provide the access hoped for. There is not a lot of room inside of a

Waterspheroid for truck parking, etc. (like a Composite or Hydropillar provides) so we

don't typically see the need for such as large door.

A7. See changes to the Bidding Documents per Addendum No. 1. Owner will

allow the overhead door to be 10’ X 10’.

Q8. Section "C" shows an 8" 6” Carrier Pipe, as well as the need to "extend it above the

TWL". At the pre-bid meeting please expand on what this system will be used for, who

installs it, and what (if any) responsibilities the tank vendor has on this system.

A8. This carrier pipe will be used for a future chemical dosing application.

Contractor is responsible for installing this 6” steel carrier pipe. Carrier

pipe shall extend 1’ above TWL for future dosing purposed.

Q9. Does the concrete floor inside the tank require any coatings?

A9. Per Section 09 90 00 – 10, Part 3.06.A.1, no paint shall be applied to exterior

masonry and concrete surfaces, unless specifically indicated.

Q10. Sheet 30: The roof-top railing system states 'painted galvanized steel platform and

railing'. One, we typically do not recommend painting galvanized steel, and two, please

confirm that there is no structural platform inside of the railing system (typically the

area is flat enough for workers to walk directly on the tank's roof plates).

Page 10: ADDENDUM NO. 1 PROJECT: 600 Zone Water Storage … No. 1 & Q&As... · PROJECT: 600 Zone Water Storage Tank CONTRACT: ... double curvature pressed formed nature with a maximum of eight

3 of 5

A10. See changes to the Bidding Documents per Addendum No. 1.

Q11. Sheet 30: Note 6 references the need for "flat sections" on the roof railing so that future

antenna's can we welded onto them. Does Loudoun have a specific detail they wish us

to provide? Do you anticipate needed "kickers" on the railing also?

A11. No specific detail will need to be provided. A bottom railing can be

included.

Q12. Please confirm the Validity period the bond is to be written for - 60 days?

A12. Loudoun Water’s bid bond is effective 61 days from day of bid opening.

Q13. The Soils Report appears to only provide boring logs and the laboratory test results and

does not have any Recommendations section/summary pertaining to the tank's

foundation. Did the Geotech prepare an interpretive report with his thoughts on the

style of foundation needed (i.e. is that where the micropiles idea, shown in the dwgs,

came from?). How about his estimate for settlement, etc? Note it is very un-common

to have the tank contractor perform this type of analysis.

A13. Data is provided for the Contractor’s information purposes only. Per

Section 31 23 17, Part 1.03.E of the Contract Documents, the Contractor is

to hire his own Geotechnical Engineer to determine a suitable foundation

for the tank. The need for a deep foundation shall be made by the Tank

Manufacturer’s Geotechnical Engineer, as registered in the Commonwealth

of Virginia. Should the Tank Manufacturer’s Geotechnical Engineer

recommend and Contractor elect to install micropiles for the tank

foundation, the micropiles shall be in accordance with Section 31 23 17.

Q14. Please confirm where the tank firm's scope starts/stops as it relates to the Verizon and

Dominion Electric work.

A14. See Section 26 05 02, Part 1.03 of the Contract Documents, for the

Contractor’s responsibility under this Work.

Q15. It was confirmed that the project does not have any BUY-USA, Prevailing Wage, or

MBE requirements, correct?

A15. Correct, there are no BUY-USA, Prevailing Wage, or MBE requirements

for this Project.

Q16. Other than V-DOT road access permits, will Loudoun Water be providing/paying for all

other permits?

A16. Per Section 00800, Supplementary Conditions, Part SC-6.08 Permits:

Loudoun Water will provide the permits listed within this section by Notice

to Proceed.

Page 11: ADDENDUM NO. 1 PROJECT: 600 Zone Water Storage … No. 1 & Q&As... · PROJECT: 600 Zone Water Storage Tank CONTRACT: ... double curvature pressed formed nature with a maximum of eight

4 of 5

Q17. Who maintains the gravel road (perhaps Loudoun should consider this effort as a T&M

item since different firms will be using it)?

A17. See changes to the Bidding Documents per Addendum No. 1.

Q18. Will crops continue to be grown in the tank area field? How far around the tank site

does Loudoun have easement rights to?

A18. Loudoun Water will have control of all area within the LOC and these

areas will be used exclusively for construction during the duration of the

Project. Activity outside of the LOC is not under Loudoun Water’s control.

Q19. Is the cul-de-sac address Chambourcin PLACE or COURT (the dwgs and an on-site

sign conflict)?

A19. See changes to the Bidding Documents per Addendum No. 1.

Q20. Who will be approving our design drawings? Loudoun Water or CH2M? Any onsite

third party inspection planned, and if so, who?

A20. Per Section 00800, Supplementary Conditions, Part SC-1.01, at the pre-

construction meeting, Owner will identify the engineering firm that will

assume the role as “Engineer” during the construction of this Work. Third

party inspection firm(s) will also be identified at the pre-construction

meeting.

Q21. It appears that Loudoun Water is providing the VA Special Inspection(s) listed on Dwgs

G4, 5, and 6, including the hiring of the necessary geotechnical and testing agencies,

and that the tank bidder will only need to provide the QA necessary to meet AWWA's

code requirements, correct?

A21. That is correct per the Contract Documents.

Q22. The "Design Criteria Notes" on Drawing G-3 (Sheet 3), Item 12, references an

Allowable Soil Bearing Pressure of only 1500 psf. As with our earlier request for a

copy of the complete Geotechnical Report, please advise how this parameter was

determined (as it appears low for the conditions seen at the site).

A22. Soil bearing capacity is provided based on best available information.

Geotechnical data has been included with the Bidding Documents for

informational purposes only and is not part of the Contract. Per Section 33

16 19, Part 1.03.E of the Contract Documents, the Contractor is to hire his

own Geotechnical Engineer to determine a suitable foundation for the

tank. The Contractor’s Geotechnical Engineer shall complete their own

geotechnical analysis necessary to complete the foundation design. The

Contractor shall submit his/her design for review during construction.

Page 12: ADDENDUM NO. 1 PROJECT: 600 Zone Water Storage … No. 1 & Q&As... · PROJECT: 600 Zone Water Storage Tank CONTRACT: ... double curvature pressed formed nature with a maximum of eight

5 of 5

Q23. Sheet 37, Detail 4, shows a funnel style overflow - we typically prefer a siphon style - is

that acceptable?

A23. A siphon style overflow may be submitted for Loudoun Water

consideration during construction, as the Tank Manufacturer is responsible

for the tank design and shall provide signed and sealed design plans

accordingly (as prepared by an Engineer registered in the Commonwealth

of Virginia). The overflow shall be suitable for a minimum of 2,000 gpm at

6-inches above the TCL of 600 feet.

Q24. Our tank's Anchor Bolts are typically A36 vs the higher strength material(s) listed in the

spec, is that acceptable?

A24. See changes to the Bidding Documents per Addendum No. 1.

Q25. Finally, as discussed at the pre-bid, please clarify if Loudoun requires a Site Trailer for

its own use (as we normally would not need/provide one for our forces) and that our

Supervision of the work does not need to be a full time employee (i.e. that site

subcontractor(s) can self-supervise, with the tank firm's PM being off-site as usual).

A25. See changes to the Bidding Documents per Addendum No. 1.

Q26. The marketplace for Steel Plate is currently going thru an upheaval, with normally

stable prices for tank plate going thru the roof in recent weeks. As such we appreciated

hearing that the Board should award the work within 30 days of the bid. Can we expect

a NTP at that same time? If not, how long afterwards will we be released to actually

order steel (and lock down the pricing)? This questions relates to the longer-than-usual

twenty one (21) day Engineering Submittal review period listed in the specs - we would

appreciate consideration of a speedier turn-around of the initial tank design packages.

A26. See Section 00200 Instructions to Bidders, Article 17 Evaluation of Bids and

Award of Contract for the description of the contract award process, and

Section 00700 General Conditions for the description of the NTP timeline.

No changes to the engineer’s submittal review time will be made.

Q27. Please provide a copy of the FAA Determination letter, or advise if they have placed

any special restrictions on both the tank and/or construction crane (i.e. lighting /

marking).

A27. See changes to the Bidding Documents per Addendum No. 1.
