ADDENDUM NUMBER 2, UST REMOVAL & EMERGENCY GENERATOR REPLACEMENT
HUGH M. BURNS BUILDING (701), FRESNO, CALIFORNIA
BUILDING AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT BRANCH
PROJECT NUMBER BPM 938
Dear Attendees:
This addendum, for the above reference project, is to notify you of the changes and/or
clarifications listed below. This addendum will be made part of the Contract specifications.
1)
Question: On page # 23 – # A. - point # 4 – the contractor should be responsible for
salvage and removal of all equipment, lines, controls, etc. None of the old system is
reusable and should not be our responsibility to remove – this allows the vendor to be
unconcerned with the demolition
Answer: Construction and Demolition Waste
For any construction inside the project building or on the site (including retrofits,
renovations or modifications), the construction plans and the contracting documents
specify that all construction waste, including demolition waste and land clearing waste (if
applicable) be qualified by type of material and weight. Additionally, at least 50% (optimally
75 %+) will be recycled and/or salvaged. Reports must be kept.
Construction Waste Management Plan
Fourteen days prior to any construction activity, the contractor shall submit a draft Waste
Management Plan for mixed debris recycling to DGS for approval. The plan shall include
(but not be limited to) the following:
• List of the recycling facilities, reuse facilities, municipal solid waste landfills, and other
disposal area(s) to be used. Include name, location, and phone number.
• List of proposed materials to be reused or recycled identified on a site preassessment.
• List of materials that cannot be recycled or reused with explanation or justification.
Page of
• Scheduled meetings to be held to address waste management. Meetings shall include
subcontractors affected by the Waste Management Plan.

• Storage and collection methods of waste and recyclables, handling procedures, and
means of keeping recyclables free of contamination.
• Description of the means of transportation of the commingled construction and demolition
recyclable materials and an estimate of how often bins will need to be emptied.
• Revise and resubmit plan as required by DGS. Approval of the Contractor’s Plan shall not
relieve the Contractor of responsibility for compliance with applicable environmental
regulations.
Construction Waste Management Report
The Contractor will record and track the type and quantity, by weight, of each material
salvaged, reused, recycled or disposed on a monthly basis. The contractor personnel
responsible for construction waste will report the waste diversion to the appropriate DGS
personnel using the provided Construction Waste Report Spreadsheet.
Erosion and Sedimentation Control Best Practice
All new construction, modifications to the exterior of existing buildings, landscape, and
project site must meet local erosion and sedimentation control codes. The interface
between new construction and existing site development may not compromise existing
erosion and sediment controls. Changes to landform and runoff patterns must be
incorporated into the over all site drainage plan and submitted for review and approval. In
the event of any site construction, the Contractor shall develop and submit to DGS for
review a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan that addresses the following erosion and
sedimentation control tactics:
• Minimize the amount of disturbed soil
• Prevent runoff from offsite areas from flowing across disturbed areas.
• Slow down the runoff flowing across the site.
• Remove the sedimentation from onsite runoff before it leaves the site.
• Meet local or State requirements for sediment and erosion control plans.
In addition, all site construction resulting in disturbance of soil or removal of plant material
must include a dust control program to minimize loss of soil through wind erosion as well
as minimization of particulate (dust) air pollution.
2)
Question: Also on page # 23 – # B. – point #1 – The UST has been officially “closed “per
The County of Fresno. So this section on the tank closure should be removed. This has
been explained to all of the attending walk through vendors.
Answer: On page 24 the contract includes a note that some items, including tank
closure, may get done in advance of this contract making it out the door. Tank
closure and a temporary fuel supply have been removed, so vendors should bid
accordingly. Section B1 still contains many items that need to be accomplished,
things like getting permits, cleaning the tank, and removing the tank.

3) Question: On the walk through cover sheet it states that the bids are to be sent to
Sacramento. As we spoke they should come to Fresno – attention Anne Clancy,
Building Manager, 2550 Mariposa Mall, Rm. 1004, zip 93721 for the opening.
Answer: Please keep this as it is currently stated on the bid packages.
4) Question: During the walk through a supplier and several of the vendors stated that
because of the ratings on the existing automatic transfer switch it would not have to be
replaced – this is listed on page # 24 – # C – point #2. It was actually stated that the
existing switch is what would be specified as the replacement. You may want to have
one of our electrical engineers make this determination. If the automatic transfer switch
does not need to be replaced this section and any other areas of specification about the
automatic transfer switch should be removed. The existing automatic transfer switch
was the specified device for the elevator upgrade we had in 2007.
Answer: Please Keep language as written: Staff responded: “I know Chris
Robles talked to the tenants, including the Emergency Services folks and got their
emergency generator needs before he started writing this scope – they have to
run all sorts of telecom and computer equipment during power outages. It makes
sense to me that we would build in some excess capacity to meet unexpected
future needs. As far as health and safety is concerned, it has to run the
emergency lights and the elevators.”
