Prospective Bidders

Steven Traynum, CSE Project Director

RE: Beach Nourishment at Buxton and Avon, Dare County, North Carolina

Following are answers to recently received questions regarding the above referenced

project.

Question 1 - Article 3- Qualifications of Bidders on page on page 3 of 13 within document C-200

states after bid submission and Owners request the Contractor will have 10 days to submit

required information to establish bidder qualifications. This information requires the submission

of subcontractors and suppliers intended to be used on the project.

However, paragraph 11.02 on page 8 of 13 states the apparent successful bidder, and any bidder

requested must submit a list of subs and suppliers proposed for 3rd party surveyor services

within 5 days of the bid opening. Please clarify this requirement, would it be 5 days or 10 days.

Answer 1 – The Bidder will have 10 days to provide subcontractor information. Bidder may

provide a list of proposed or potential subcontractors, including 3rd party surveyors, if they are

unable to finalize a subcontractor by the 10 day period.

Question 2 - Supplementary Conditions of the Construction Contract on page 3 of 17 within

document C-800 reference several geotechnical reports. However, it does not appear those

reports are included in the Contract documents. The Contractor is requesting the Client provide

those documents for review.

Answer 2 – Bidders may obtain copies of reports by requesting them from the Engineer via

email to patrick@coastalscience.com and straynum@coastalscience.com. A link to download

the files will be provided at that time.

Question 3 - Paragraph 34 on page 11 of 38 within the Technical Specifications states that daily

turtle nest surveys will be completed by the Owner, then goes onto to say “if sand is placed at

night a nighttime monitor shall be present”. The Contractor is requesting clarification if the cost

of the nighttime monitor will be covered by the Owner as well?

Answer 3 – The NPS will conduct early morning surveys for sea turtles along the entire project

area. The Bidder will be responsible for any other permit-required endangered species

monitoring, including night-time monitoring of the fill site, monitoring of haul routes outside

of the fill site, and on-board endangered species observers. Bidder should refer to sea-turtle

protection requirements of the 2020 NMFS SARBO and the Biological Opinion for Cape

Hatteras National Seashore Sediment Management Framework within Dare and Hyde

Counties, North Carolina.
