Ques on and Answers:

1) Will there be any issues with having the grow lights off in a bay with plants during working hours 8am-4pm while fixtures are being removed and installed? No, the work will be accommodated accordingly.

2) Have there been any addendums to this project? No this will be the first one.

3) From attachment 1 SOW Sec. 7 Specific Requirements #8 is this part of the base bid?

Could I get more clarification on what is meant by "A new service disconnect switch at wall site". Is this a remove old disconnect and replace with a new disconnect? Or is this a new disconnect in order to disconnect the entire site service from the utility? Lastly where is the location of the "wall site"?

The section was provided in case any of the new LED lighting fixtures have a requirement for a service disconnect or electrical code related to the installation. The wall site would be adjacent to the current lighting controls in place.
