REVISED ANSWER:

Contractor is to provide hardware schedule per Specifications Section 08 71 00 – Submittals and Substitutions

26. We have noticed that only the civil drawings are stamped and the architectural, electrical, structural and mechanical are not. Will this project require additional design and stamp by an engineer?

REVISED ANSWER:

Contract drawings provided are complete. Any additional design as required for project submittals, as delineated in the CONTRACT, will be the responsibility of the contractor.

32. Please provide preferred acoustical ceiling tile product to match for this project.

REVISED ANSWER:

46. Site Visit question. Environmental assessment required by contractor? Environmentalist, biologist personnel required?

REVISED ANSWER:

Applies to building demolition only.

51. Can you please indicate what are the required amperages of the breakers for electrical panel F as these were not indicated on electrical plan E1.0.

ANSWER:

The circuit breaker required amperages were intentionally omitted from the drawings. The Panelboard schedule are estimated loads. Actual loads could vary in the field. Contractor shall submit proposed panelboard balanced schedule and circuit breaker sizing per 2017 NEC for approval.

52. Confirm the following. All windows in fire-prone areas including Santa Barbara Ranger District are required by law to be tempered glass

ANSWER:

Per window schedule note Sheet A5, Wildland Urban Interface requires all windows to be tempered glass

53. Per interior Finish Schedule on A5 and base on RFI 11, answered on Amendment 002 – Finish Schedule calls Sealer on different rooms. On the answered question 11: Related Sections as called out in Specification 09 65 13 changed to “Concrete” and “Chemically Stained Concrete Floor”. Eliminate “Polished Concrete Floor Finishing” and “Concrete Floor Sealer”. We still don’t have any Concrete Floor Sealer on the specifications, and if you changing to “concrete” and “concrete floor sealer” we didn’t receive the updated specification. I still need clarifications if require Stained Concrete Floor instead of sealer or get the sealer spec.

ANSWER:

Per Drawing 1, Sheet A4 provide colored concrete on Office/ Day Room wing (area defined between gridlines 1 and 3 and gridlines B and C ) follow color manufacturer recommendations (Davis or approved equal) for concrete sealer in these areas. The Cache Wing (between gridlines #4 and #5) and Engine bays are not colored concrete and are not to be provided sealer.
