BDC Bid No. BDC03-25/26, Addendum #1, Page 2 of 3
4. Question: On the first floor, there is no existing ridge—should one be installed?
Answer: (Verify condition, if one does not exist install new 2x10).
5. Question: For external rotted rafters, is it necessary to cut them at the wall line and install new ones in their place?
Answer: Where external rafters are rotted they will require removal and replacement. Cut the existing rafters at the wall line and install a new member, provide lap with the existing rafter and nail.

Answer: Yes, provide 1x4 t&g boards at soffits. Install new boards where soffits are missing, damaged or where they require replacement.

Answer: Scope of this project is to address issues with the roof. We will need clarification and a description regarding what and where the repairs exist to provide a more concise answer.
9. Question: In some areas, there appear to be inconsistencies with maintaining the historic house profile (e.g., the plans show existing fascia as 1x6, while other areas show 2x4 PT). Should these be left as-is or removed?
Answer: Install 2x4 sub-fascia with 1x6 fascia board to match exist. conditions.
10. Question: On page 5 of the plans – Work Items, Work Framing Plans: rafters are noted to be 3x6 rough sawn. Should this be interpreted as actual 3x6 or 2x5 ½ lumber?
Answer: Rough sawn is considered to have actual dimensions of 2 1/2"x5 1/2".
11. Question: For “scab on each side,” what is the required length of scabbing the existing rafters?
Answer: Work note 5. indicates scab is to be 30" long. Please clarify "scabbing the existing rafters."
