Justification and supporting documentation from materials suppliers would be required prior to an allowance for a time extension/modification by the Contracting officer beyond the 150 day (after NTP issuance).

Please provide bidding quantities for deteriorated underlayment (roofing)/base course (paving).

There is no base course/paving on this roofing contract. The buildings are available for schedule site visits for bidding contractors to measure for quantities.

Please provide the site visit registration information.

I don’t have a site visit registration.

How far below finished floor do we need to demo the chimney?

To finished floor level – see specifications and drawings.

Does chimney demo below floor need to be infilled with concrete? If so, to what depth? Demo extends to finish floor level.

What is the existing farming system at the roof?

Typically wood framing – rafters/trusses.

Is lightning protection required for new metal roofing?

A lightning protection system is not specified.

Are existing gutters to be reused or replaced?

Review the specifications and drawings. Re-install gutters on 4212 Nowak Lane roof. Some specific items (antennas, chimneys) are designated for removal disposal (varies by roof) otherwise coordination with new roofing and/or removal reinstallation of components to allow for roof replacement is required.

Please provide bidding quantities for decayed roof sheathing, fascia, and adjoining siding.

Review the specifications, drawings, and schedule of items. Siding replacement will generally be limited to specific locations indicated (associated with chimney removal at 4208 Nowak) or when required for proper integration of new roofing flashing counterflashing – such as sidewall or headwall dormer flashing. The buildings are available for schedule site visits for bidding contractors to measure for quantities.

Please confirm the material of the existing siding. Is new siding to match existing?

Varies by building, close match specified but understand exact match may not be possible due to variety of age/type of siding.

Will insulation at the roof need to be replaced? If so, please provide type and quantity for bidding purposes.

Roof insulation is not being installed/replaced.

What gauge is preferred for the new roofing system?

See specification section 074113, 2.4B2 -> 24-gauge.

Please confirm the manufacturer of the existing roofing system and who carries the current warranty of the roofing system.

We don’t have this information.

Please confirm whether asbestos or lead is present on this project, and if so, provide the relevant documentation.

The Blackwell Facility Survey report indicates ACM surveys were conducted in 1998 and no ACM was present.

I’ve made a request for any available copies of the ACM surveys. B426 (Carpentry) was constructed in 1987. The houses were constructed in the 1960’s-1970’s, lead based paint should be assumed present.

Are any of these buildings occupied? How many people will be in the building? Are there any temporary heating/cooling requirements?

All buildings will be occupied. Number of people will vary by building. The contractor does not have any specific responsibility for the provision of heating/cooling inside the building.

Are there any phasing requirements?

No phasing is specifically required, contractor shall schedule and be responsible for protection of buildings during selective demolition until made weathertight.

Please provide a lay down/staging area for construction.

Lay down areas will be directly adjacent to work areas, staging areas will be available in the building 426 parking lot and adjacent to the Nowak Lane residential loop and will be coordinated with the selected offeror during prework meeting.

Is there an anticipated start date?

Desired start time is summer of 2025 with completion prior to 2026.

Is there a need for any third party testing?

There are material test standards. No specific third-party testing of installed roofing is specified, though contractors will be responsible of securing any roofing manufacturer inspections that may be required for the NDL warranties.
