1. Roof traffic - Plans and pics show existing roof to be cedar shakes while the solicitation

2. Specification 074646 - 2.1.C includes "hardie shingle siding" in the basis of design, while

073129 - 2.1.A.1 calls for "cedar valley panels" as the basis of design. Documents elseward call out for new cedar shingles to replace existing. Please clarify intent of the product to be used for the siding and the trim, and alternates allowed (if any). As stated in Section C, fiber cement soffit is to be installed on the soffits of the Paraloft Tower and

Administrative Building. All siding and trim on all buildings is to be cedar.

3. Will the existing metal fascia (where conditions apply) remain or will it be replaced? Will the wood fascia (where conditions apply) need to be wrapped with metal fascia? The existing metal fascia will remain and the wood fascia will remain. Fascia will not be replaced as part of this project.

4. Scope includes "repair/replace damaged sheathing" (C.1 of the solicitation) what are the procedures for this, as we will not know the full extent (if any exist at all)? The contractor would be responsible for up to 256sf of sheathing replacement if any exist at all. If more square footage of sheathing needs replaced then a differing site condition would occur and the contractor would be able to submit a modification request for the additional sheathing and associated work.

5. What are the management requirements on site during the construction phase of the project?

For example: Does the General Contractor need a Project Manager level on site at all times?

Can the General Contractor have a Superintendent level employee on site at all times?

Contractor shall submit the Designation of Contractor Representative form designating a representative along with the extent of the representative'(s) authority prior to work starting for the project.”
