NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE BIDDERS
Bid Opening April 26, 2012
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the instructions and requirements of the subject bid are
amended as follows:
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
1) The following information has been placed on Builder’s Exchange Washington as
Supplemental Information:
a. Pre-Bid Conference & Site Walk Sign-In
b. Supplemental Upland Data Collection Work Plan, July 20, 2010
c. Pre-Bid Meeting - Project Milestone & Constraints Diagram
RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS RECEIVED AS OF MARCH 28, 2012
1) The original route on the trail has to be open on May 15, 2013, when can you close
portions of the trail around the mill site and use your 90 day detour? The marathon
would be first or second weekend of June – can you detour trial users again after the
marathon?
The original Waterfront Trail (Olympic Discovery Trail) from the point that it
enters the eastern side of the Rayonier property to its western end at
approximately STA 210+00, including the portion that loops south toward the
City’s WWTP and then back to the northwest (See Drawings 000-G-018 through
000-G-021) must be reopened for full and unrestricted use no later than May 15,
2013 in accordance with Milestone #5.
Portions of the Trail not subject to Milestone #4 (portions not subject to
Milestone #4 are those areas which are generally east of Pit G) may be closed
again beginning June 4, 2013.
2) Also you said in areas of the trail asphalt gets replaced through the Rayonier site – It
looks like the City’s intent is to have the trail cross the site on the new bridge after the
contract, so does the old trail route need to be paved also and if so before the 2013
marathon?
Those portions of the existing trail route that are damaged by construction need
to be restored in kind prior to May 15, 2013.
(The intent is for the trail to be realigned to cross the new bridge that will be
built under this contract, however the City has assumed that the new bridge and
PHASE 1 CSO, PROJECT 06-01 ADDENDUM NO.1
1
trail alignment may not be completed in time for the Marathon course to be
recertified in accordance with USATF standards prior to the June 2013
Marathon, therefore the race director is planning on using the original course
for 2013).
3) Does any asphalt on the former Rayonier property (City Owned) outside of the trail
get repaved and does the pavement on Rayonier’s property get replaced?
The Plans and Specifications identify the surfaces which require rehabilitation.
In general, surfaces are to be restored in kind. See Contract Documents,
especially the 300 series and 400 series Civil Drawings and the Typical Trench
Sections on 000-C-003 and 000-C-009 through 000-C-013.
4) The excavation on Oak Street and other City streets – it is the City’s typical detail to
use CDF, but on First Street with RNW they were allowed to use rock not CDF – is
CDF going to be mandatory on this project or can rock be used?
The specifications and drawings call out and define the materials to be used as
backfill on the project. After award, the Contractor may make a substitution
request as provided for in Section 00710-4.9 or a Value Engineering and Cost
Sharing request as provided for in Section 00710-6.4.
5) My questions is regarding if all aluminum stair and landing system within the steel
framework of the stair tower would be something you might consider?
The Bid is to be based on the Project as presented in the Contract Documents.
After award, the Contractor may make a substitution request as provided for in
Section 00710-4.9 or a Value Engineering and Cost Sharing request as provided
for in Section 00710-6.4.
6) You have Gravel Borrow in your specs for embankment. As you should know gravel
borrow is hard to get around here in large quantities. How about Select Borrow?
The Bid is to be based on the Project as presented in the Contract Documents.
After award, the Contractor may make a substitution request as provided for in
Section 00710-4.9 or a Value Engineering and Cost Sharing request as provided
for in Section 00710-6.4.
7) Are there required DBE goals?
As specified in Section 00421, the Contractor agrees to make six good faith
efforts whenever procuring subcontractors, equipment, services and supplies. In
addition, all bidders shall submit information for all firms that bid or quote on
subcontracts (including both DBE and non-DBE firms) with their bid proposal
as stated in Specification 00421 State Revolving Fund Specifications Insert and
Specification 00430 Subcontractor List.
8) If the Archeologist delays construction, what will the contractor be able to do?
PHASE 1 CSO, PROJECT 06-01 ADDENDUM NO.1
2
The results of impacts to the contractor from archaeological delays are
described in Section 01020-4.0.
9) What is the Archeologist method for monitoring and will be contractor be responsible
for the monitors safety?
All methods for monitoring and working conditions are highlighted in the
Archeological Work Plan located in the Specification. The contractor is
responsible for providing a safe work place and access for archeological
monitors. The Archeologist and monitors will be required to follow the safety
procedures and protocols established by the Contractor.
10) Will the Archeological screening methods reduce the Contractors ability to excavate
material at a typical construction rate?
No, screening of sediments will be of the discretion of the Principal Archeologist,
and will not typically be required. As stated in the Archeological Work Plan
located in the Specifications, “Archeological monitoring will require close
communication with the construction contractor. The monitor may enter the
exaction area and examine the sidewalls and surfaces more closely if any signs of
cultural resources are observed. In limited cases the archaeologist may request
that equipment operators modify their procedures to expose subsurface
stratigraphy in thin lifts in an effort to identify additional archaeological
evidence. Archaeological monitors will always place safety first during
monitoring activities.
11) Will all trenching material from the Rayonier Site go to Rayonier?
Yes. All excavated material from the Former Rayonier Site (including the City
Owned Parcel obtained by Rayonier) will be received by Rayonier.
12) Who will be classifying the soil on the Rayonier Property?
Rayonier will have representatives classifying the material on the jobsite.
13) Are there any Tribal requirements for this job?
This project does not have any Tribal Employment Rights Ordinance (TERO)
requirements.
14) Are there any apprenticeship or training required on this project?
As specified in Section 00421, the Contractor shall comply with Executive Order
11246, “Equal Employment Opportunity,” as amended by Executive Order
11375, “Amending Executive Order 11246 Relating to Equal Employment
Opportunity, “and as supplemented by regulations at 41 CFR part 60. For
additional information see Section 00421.

15) Is the funding in place?
Yes, the City has funding for this project in place.
16) Does the material from the bridge demolition remain Rayonier’s responsibility or
does the contractor have to dispose of the bridge?
Material from the bridge demolition is classified as Debris per Section 02210 and
will be handled in accordance with 02210, 303.
Construction debris from the former Rayonier Mill Site will remain Rayonier’s
responsibility.
17) During the walk through you stated the existing scales at Rayonier (St 37+50 to
39+30) could be removed- on sheet 400-C-002 note #4 states to preserve and protect
the scales- which is it?
The contractor shall preserve and protect the scales, as stated on sheet 400-C002.
18) On the SEW wall and the Pre-loading:
 Sheet 000-C-014 shows building the wall to St 43+27 and St 44+27 (center of the
abutment of the bridge).
 Sheet 400-B-002 shows building the wall to the front of the abutments and
removing the preload after requirements are meet.
 Sheet 400-B-025 & 400-B-026 ending the SEW at St 43+20 and St 44+34.
1) At which Station does the SEW wall stop and where are you expecting the
SEW to be built to? Are you expecting to build a temporary SEW wall then
remove it after the preload?
See Sheets 400-B-025 and 400-B-026 for the 2 phase construction planned
for the SEW’s. The first phase of the SEW is planned to be built to the
Staging Joint locations shown. The completion of the SEW’s is to occur
after the preload is removed and when the abutments are constructed.
Part of the fill and preload will need to be removed in order to construct
the abutments and complete the second stage of the SEW construction.
2) Does the preload have to built to the center of the abutment or the front of the
abutments?
See Sheet 000-C-014 for preload extent. The extent shown is to the center
of abutment bearing so that it doesn’t get too close to the creek bank.
Since the abutments are pile-supported, settlement is not a concern.
The location of the wall Staging Joints are shown on sheets 400-B-025 for
the SW wall and 400-B-026 for the SE wall. Though the joint locations
are shown correctly on the wall elevations, the plan stations shown for the
Staging Joints are not correct, and for the SE wall, the plan location is
also not correct. See Addendum No. 1, PLAN section, Items 6 and 7.

19) In what area will workers be required to have OSHA HAZWOPER training?
Remedial investigations have determined that surface soils throughout the
Rayonier site are potentially contaminated. Surface soils at Rayonier site are
currently exposed in some areas, and in most areas are covered by vegetation,
asphalt pavement, concrete pads, and gravel. Site work, including erosion
control provision installation, clearing and grubbing, demolition, excavation,
pipe installation, backfill, and many other activities will result in worker
exposure to contaminated soils. Additional information on the nature and extent
of contamination on the site can be found in:
Interim Action Report Volume I: Upland Data Summary
Report for the Study Area, Port Angeles Rayonier Mill Site
Port Angeles, Washington prepared by GeoEngineers, Inc.
November 15, 2011.
(Provide on the Builder’s Exchange of Washington website under Supplemental
Information.)
In areas of the Rayonier site controlled by the Contractor where contaminated
soils are exposed (including surface soil), and operations could result in worker
exposure to the soil, the training requirements and other requirements of the
federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) Hazardous
Waste Operations and Emergency Response regulations (29 CFR 1910.120), and
the Washington Industrial Safety and Health Act regulations (Hazardous Waste
Operations Chapter 296-843 WAC) would apply.
It would be reasonably expected that workers involved in any way with
construction work on the Rayonier site would potentially be exposed to
contaminated soils unless the employer can demonstrate that the operation does
not involve employee exposure, or reasonable likelihood of exposure to safety
and/or health hazards.
Additional information on the applicability of the regulations can be found at
the following web sites:


OSHA Standard Interpretation Letter regarding the applicability of 29
CFR 1910.120 http://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_table=INT
ERPRETATIONS&p_id=20458
OSHA Frequently Asked Questions: Hazwoper http://www.osha.gov/html/faq-hazwoper.html
20) What are the HASP and HAZWOPER training requirements for this project?
The HASP and HAZWOPER training requirements will be required for
construction work on the Rayonier site as described in the response to Question
19. The specific requirements are described in of the federal Occupational
Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) Hazardous Waste Operations and
PHASE 1 CSO, PROJECT 06-01 ADDENDUM NO.1
5
Emergency Response regulations (29 CFR 1910.120), and the Washington
Industrial Safety and Health Act regulations (Hazardous Waste Operations
Chapter 296-843 WAC). These include preparation of a site specific safety plan
and HAZWOPER training for workers.
21) Will we consider alternate methods of installing the pipelines?
No. Sliplining must be accomplished by a contractor or subcontractor that meets
the requirements of SECTION 00440 – SUPPLEMENTAL CRITERIA using the
methods specified in SECTION 02630 – SLIPLINING WITH HDPE PIPE.
22) Under Section 2200-4 Section 1.04 Submittals Paragraph C Item #4 lists chemical
analysis tests which are required to be run on any imported material used on the
project.
If more than one type of material comes from the same pit- can the chemical analysis
be run on the pit or does it have to be each material? Is the requirement for all
locations- City owned and Rayonier?
The chemical analysis listed in Section 2200 should be performed for each type
of imported material to be incorporated into the portions of the project on the
former Rayonier Mill Site.
All imported materials placed on the former Rayonier Mill Site shall be tested
for C.1- C.4 from Section 02200-1.04. All imported materials placed on other
areas of the project shall be tested for C.1- C.3.
