Pre-Bid Conference Summary Notes

Contract 587-15-C-13 (81) Lower Howard’s Creek Water Treatment Plant

Winchester Municipal Utilities Winchester, Kentucky

September 28, 2017

A mandatory pre-bid conference was held in the conference room of the Lower Howards

Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant at 10:00 a.m. Thursday September 28, 2017. The

following are summary notes from the general discussion during the meeting and are not

intended to be all inclusive. Attendees were advised that all questions must be submitted

in writing by 5:00 p.m. Friday October 13, 2017. Questions received prior to the cutoff

date will be answered by addendum.

A copy of the Pre-bid Conference Agenda and Attendance Roster is attached.

Question: Can you provide particle sizes for shot rock or any further details on existing

conditions related to the shot rock?

Answer: We will look at Specifications for Lower Howards Creek Wastewater

Treatment Plant, daily reports, and site photographs to determine if additional

information can be made available. All Contractors have the option to test dig

the site. The Engineer will coordinate with the Owner.

Question: Is “Buy American” required for this Contract?

Answer: No.

Question: Define bedrock. The Geotech Report conflicts with the Specifications. Which

governs?

Answer: The Geotech Report is not a part of the Contract. The Engineer will further

clarify rock boundaries.

Question: How long can the existing water plant run on the reservoir? Additional

information is needed on the sequence of work relating to the switch over

from the existing water plant to the new water plant.

Answer: Depending on the time of year and other factors such as water quality in the

reservoir, 30 to 45 days may be available. Additional time may be available if

the 18-inch raw water line from the Kentucky River is used as a raw water

source. The Engineer will further define the sequence of work for the switch

over from the existing water plant to the new water plant.

Question: The Bid Form includes “Base Bid” and “Alternate Bid” manufactures

columns for some major equipment items. Will “Alternate Bid” items be

considered in determining the low bidder?

Answer: Only “Base Bid” items will be considered to determine low bidder.

Page 20: A. SPECIFICATIONS€¦ · Drawing Sheet C003 – Site Yard Piping Area 2. a. Disregard the small “X” shown on the 24” raw water pipe just after the flow control and meter box,

A representative of Smith Construction, the Contractor that provided construction

services for the construction of the Lower Howards Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant,

stated the yard piping in that Contract was not blasted.

It was suggested that disinfection and pigging of the existing raw water line that is to be

converted to a finished water line be included in the Contract as an allowance. An

Owners Representative suggested they could provide the name of a contractor they have

used for line pigging previously to obtain pricing. The Engineer will consider including

the allowance in the Contract.

The new construction site and the existing water plant were made available to the

attendees for observation after the conference.

A Questionnaire form was provided to the attendees for convenience to submit written

questions.
