AMENDMENT 1

BVB # 09-IOP-07, Elevator Repair

Clarification and Opening Date Change

This amendment contains important reference information which was gathered since the site meeting held on Wednesday, May 6, 2009. Included for your information are:

1.  A copy of the U.S. Elevator / Thyssen Elevator submittals for Elevator No. 3 from the 1995 State House renovation.

2.  Section 14242 from the S&W Project Manual for the 1995 State House renovation.

3.  Clipped copies of Elevator No. 3 shaft section and location on plan taken from S&W drawings for the 1995 State House renovation.

The above are provided as general information only. Although it is the best description of existing conditions currently available, the Owner does NOT guarantee its accuracy. The successful Offeror will be expected to field verify conditions as needed to effect a successful repair to Elevator No. 3.

Responsibilities and Obligations

The overall scope of work shall include all cleaning, repair, and replacement of elevator system components as needed to restore Elevator No. 3 to good working order and safe operation. The successful offeror will be responsible for the removal and disposal of contaminated materials and any related environmental clean up that may be required. In short, the successful Offeror must be able to deliver a ‘turn-key’ job to the Owner – including any environmental remediation work which he assigns to properly qualified and licensed subcontractors.

BASE BID COST:

Offerors will submit a cost proposal to perform a complete replacement of the hydraulic jack assembly and hydraulic oil at Elevator No. 3. This ‘BASE BID’ cost shall reflect the following:

·  Does NOT include cost for environmental clean up of contaminated ground or inter-casing fill materials. See below for “Separate Negotiated Costs.”

·  Does NOT include cost for re-drilling of the well hole. See below for “Separate Negotiated Costs.”

·  Does NOT include cost for removal of auxiliary steel outer casing. See below for “Separate Negotiated Costs.”

·  DOES include the cost for removing the existing cylinder, PVC protective casing and all other associated hydraulic jack components as required to effect a complete replacement of the hydraulic jack assembly. The ‘BASE BID’ cost proposal must include all costs normally associated with a hydraulic jack replacement in which any leaked hydraulic oil is still contained within the cylinder and/or its PVC protective casing. Note: The cost to remove and properly dispose of this, still contained, existing, hydraulic oil must be included in the “BASE BID” cost. The cost for replacement of the PVC casing as well as the sand and resin inter-casing fill materials must also be included. Offeror can assume for the BASE BID proposal that these fill materials are dry and uncontaminated. The only costs not to be included in the “BASE BID” cost are listed in the “Separate Negotiated Costs.” section below.

Separate Negotiated Costs:

1.  There is a possibility that the cylinder and/or the PVC casing may be damaged and that oil has leaked into the surrounding inter-casing fill materials and ground. Once the cylinder has been removed, the successful Offeror will notify the Owner’s Agency Coordinator (OAC) so that the latter can have the site checked by an environmental specialist. (The successful Offeror will include a 7 calendar day delay in the schedule to allow for this investigation). Once the extent of the contamination is known and a remediation plan has been developed by the Owner’s environmental specialist… The successful Offeror will obtain cost proposals for the remediation from appropriately qualified and licensed firms. The additional cost for the remediation will be incorporated into the successful Offeror’s contract by negotiated change order. Once a change order cost is agreed upon, the successful Offeror will retain the selected remediation firm(s) as a subcontractor(s) to perform said remediation work in accordance with EPA and SCDHEC standards and regulations as required by law. The successful Offeror will allow for a 20 calendar day minimum delay in their schedule for the procurement and execution of the remediation work.

2.  The Owner does not anticipate the need to remove or replace the outer steel well hole casing. Should that become necessary, however, the cost for this work – including any re-drilling if necessary -- shall be added to the successful Offeror’s contract by negotiated change order.

SCHEDULE:

All work must be completed, fully tested, and approved by the regulatory authorities for use by the public no later than November 20, 2009. The Owner shall deduct from the contract, liquidated damages in the amount of $250.00 for each calendar day past November 20, 2009 that the elevator is not ready for safe operation and use by the public.

NOTE: Should remediation work require more time than what is already to be allowed for in the schedule (See “Separate Negotiated Costs” section above) then an extension of time will be considered and, if necessary, added to the successful Offerer’s contract via negotiated change order.
