TECHNICAL QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Q: If additional testing of the rock riprap is needed, is it to the cost of the Contractor?
A: Yes; in the event such additional testing procedures become necessary, all expenses incurred by theContractor to prove the material requirements or gradation shall be paid by the Contractor at no additionalcost. See Construction Specification 61 – Rock Riprap; Section 8.
Q: For Site 11, can a smaller culvert be placed within the temporary construction entrance given that
there is not a defined road ditch?
A: No; the requirements for the temporary construction entrance are show on page 7 of the drawings andin Construction Specification 8 – Mobilization and Demobilization
Q: For Site 16, will the construction access road along the right berm of the auxiliary spillway
accommodate an 18-wheeler on Site 16?
A: Yes; the width of the right berm of the auxiliary spillway is 14’ and would accommodate the standard
width of an 18-wheeler. There is not room to turn around an 18-wheeler along the right berm of theauxiliary spillway. The area below the entrance section of the auxiliary spillway can accommodate aturnaround of an 18-wheeler.

Q: What do we do with the gate and fencing within the designated campsite area on Site 16?
A: If needed for maneuvering of machinery or equipment, the southern gate and the fencing along theleft side of the campsite area may be removed, salvaged, and replaced to pre-existing or better condition
prior to demobilization at Contractor’s expense. The northern gate and fencing along the right side of thecampsite is not to be disturbed.
Q: Can rock riprap be dumped within the campsite area on Site 16?
A: No; the stockpile area for the rock riprap is at the location as shown on page 1 of the drawings.
Q: Is the high chain link fence by the RV storage area on Site 16 to be removed and replaced?
A: No; only fencing designated as R/C (remove/construct) on the drawings.
Q: Are the temporary construction entrance locations marked for both sites?
A: Yes; the entrances for both sites is marked with pink flagging tape.
Q: How is the subgrade of the rock riprap on Site 16 to be confirmed if the subgrade toe elevation islower than the minimum drawdown level of the reservoir?
A: As shown in the wave berm sections on pages 3-4 of the drawings, the lower limits of excavation
upstream from the top of rock riprap toe is to be elevation 535.0 and have a level distance of 5ft before
sloping 3H:1V to match the existing ground. While the 533.3 elevation of the lowered reservoir limits isabove the lower limits of excavation for the bottom of the rock riprap toe at elevation 532.7, it isanticipated that the verification of subgrade can be made prior to placement of geotextile and rock riprap.
Q: What are the limits for compacted earthfill within the waste area on Site 16?
A: Compacted earthfill is to be placed uniformly within the waste area between the RV pad and thedownstream slope of the embankment while maintaining the existing slope of the natural ground. The
volume of earthfill placed in this waste area shall only be that from the spoiled material resulting fromconstruction of the rock riprap wave berm protection.
Q: Is the installed septic system for the RV park within the area of work on Site 16?
A: No; the installed septic system is outside the designated work limits as shown on the drawings.
Q: What is the preferred path to the waste area on Site 16?
A: Access to the waste area can be made along the upstream toe of the embankment and around theleft abutment. The work limits located along the downstream toe of the embankment are predominantly
along the fence line. The distance between the downstream toe and the fence is limited.
Q: What is the current water elevation of the reservoir on Site 16?
A: Exact elevation is not known but at midday on 4/25/19 it was below the lowest ungated outlet of theprincipal spillway inlet tower.
Q: Can waste material be piled in the designated waste area on Site 16 prior to filling in the waste areawith compacted earthfill?
A: Yes; the designated waste area is intended for the wasting of materials resulting from construction
activities. Final completion of the waste shall be as shown on page 3 of the drawings as material isavailable to do so.
Q: For Site 16, can the landowner’s piled road base and other spoiled earthen material located within the
new construction area of the RV park be used for construction of the access road?
A: Yes; written permission from the landowner is needed and a copy is to be submitted to the CO prior touse.

Q: Will the RVs on Site 16 that are parked on pad adjacent to the waste area be moved prior to start ofconstruction?
A: The Sponsor will try to arrange for the RVs to be moved or pulled out a bit. However, there is no
guarantee this will be possible and Contractor my need to perform the work with the RVs being parked inthat area in a fashion similar to that observed at the 4/25/19 showing of the site.
Q: What is the status of livestock on both sites?
A: The Sponsor will coordinate with each landowner on the management of livestock prior to start ofwork. For Site 11, see Construction Specification 8 – Mobilization and Demobilization, Section 4 a. (2) (b)for installation of temporary fencing if required for control of livestock.
Q: For both sites, is a quality control person required on site all of the time?
A: Yes; see Construction Specification 94 – Contractor Quality Control. It is also recommended that analternate be designated as well.
Written Questions Received 4/25/19 & 4/26/19 Escorted Site Visit Questions

Demobilization consists of the construction of a temporary construction entrance and site access asshown on the drawings and staked in the field. All assumed cost shall be included in the appropriate bid
item.
Q: Will a 36” disk be required for the earthfill?
A: No, see Construction Specification 420 – Site Preparation and Construction Specification 23 Earthfill. All compaction shall be Class C.
