NOTE: THE OPENING DATE HAS BEEN CHANGED FROM JANUARY 11, 2002 TO JANUARY 17, 2002, 3:OOP.M. (Our Clock). The following clarifications were requested by the attending potential bidders: • Quantification of limited flooring removal from the living room area • Quantification of the contaminated soils in the crawlspace • Clarification of source of power • Clarification of source of hot water • Clarification of source of lighting • Clarification or extension of length of project • Clarification of which party to request variances The following clarifications were requested by the City of Fort Collins: • Contractor must use that attached bid schedule which includes price per cubic foot for removal of soils • Provisions for protection of wood surfaces The General Contractor expressed a desire or need to remove the flooring in the living room as part of their scope of work for the remodel. WALSH Project Manager Kevin M. Troyer advised the City of Fort Collins that the abatement contractor be permitted to complete the last stage of removal of this flooring material as the precise limit of contamination within the crawlspace has not yet been determined due to limited access. Therefore, removal of this section of flooring (approximately 320 square feet) is included in the abatement contractor's Summary of Work. The quantification of the contaminated soils in the crawlspace was based upon the estimated length of duct within the crawlspace, taking into account that some of this ductwork would be buried as noted in the observable areas where the duct entered the crawlspace. Each section of duct is approximately 12 — 16 inches in diameter, and may be partially buried in the soils of the floor of the crawlspace. As such, the potential for contamination of the entire crawlspace 215 North Mason Street • 2nd Floor • P.O. Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (970) 221-6775 • FAX (970) 221-6707 from occupation and disturbance of materials by maintenance/service personnel was considered remote. Therefore, only those soils immediately surrounding the ductwork are considered contaminated, and shall be addressed by the Abatement Contractor. During the course of this removal, it is expected that some of the asbestos containing duct wrap shall delaminate from the ductwork and create some minimal contamination of the soils underneath. This is the reasoning for the removal of the 2" of soils under the ductwork. The potential bidders requested clarification as to sources of power, light and heat. The potential bidders were informed at the prebid meeting that a source of power would be provided, and the City will provide a licensed electrician for installation to contractors power panel for asbestos abatement activities. Also, the potential bidders were informed that heat and lighting were unavailable and would be the responsibility of the Abatement Contractor. The potential bidders also expressed concern about the short duration of the scheduled project, and requested more time. Therefore, the project schedule is extended to ten working days. The potential bidders requested clarification as to responsibility for variance requests. The clarification places the responsibility for all variances on the Abatement Contractor, and requires approval by the Owner or the Owner's Representative (WALSH) prior to submittal to the State of Colorado. A per cubic foot price for contaminated soils removal was requested by the City of Fort Collins for add/deduct purposes upon determination of actual quantities of removed soils at the conclusion of the project. Provisions for protection of wood surfaces (from tape damage, water damage, etc.) were included at the request of the City of Fort Collins. State of Colorado Regulation No. 8 specifies that a project design must be prepared by a properly trained and certified asbestos project designer. Due to the changes to the original document, the finished bidding document does not now constitute a full project design, but a Summary of Work. The asbestos abatement contractor can provide a simple plan for abatement that can be utilized as the Project Design.
