the work.

RFI 02: Please confirm if permits will be required for this project, and would it be possible for photos of the building exterior be uploaded to the solicitation posting.

COR Reply: The COR has advised that to his knowledge no special permits should be required for this project (but FAR 52.236-7 is included in the solicitation if permits are necessary). Exterior photos attached.

RFI 03: The scope states approximately "3000" square feet (sf) and the building plans state approximately "4,000" square feet (sf). Photos would be helpful at providing an accurate proposal.

COR Reply: The SOW should be for 4,000 sf of siding replacement, or the whole building.

Exterior photos attached.

RFI 04: Is soffit & fascia part of the replacement?

COR Reply: No

RFI 05: The SOL states a performance bond requirement. What is the percentage required?

CS Reply: There is no Performance Bond required for this project. Only a Payment Bond (at 100%) is called out and required in/for the solicitation.

RFI 06: Are there any specifications for the type of Smart Siding desired? It looks like the manufacturer is LP Building Solutions, but they have several styles, textures, and thicknesses to choose from including lap siding, shakes, and panel & vertical siding. Pricing will vary depending on what product is chosen. Do you have some direction on this?

Facility/COR Reply: The siding will be lap siding

LP Smart siding. Diamond Kote is the product that the three contractors that completed on sites have mentioned and I concur with that product

choice.

RFI 07: I would assume the current cement fiber siding does not contain asbestos, correct?

Facility/COR Reply 2. Current cement siding is 11 years old and is not manufactured with asbestos.

RFI 08: If rotted or deteriorated framing or sheathing is discovered, will the contractor be able to request a change order for these repairs?

CS/Facility/COR Reply: Yes (CS), but rotted sheeting and framing is not anticipated

(Facility/COR).

RFI 09: The SOL & SOW states approximately 3,000 sf of siding to remove/replace and the plans show approx. 4,000 sf as shown on Plan Sheet A4.1.

Just double checking that the 4,000 SF is the more accurate quantity as shown on the drawings.

COR Reply: The SOW should be for 4,000 sf of siding replacement, or the whole building.

RFI 10: We would like to clarify what LP Smart

Siding is being utilized, will it be on-site painting, Expert Finish, or Diamond Kote? These finishes are progressively more expensive but also more durable. This will affect our pricing.

Facility/COR Reply: The siding will be lap siding

LP Smart siding. Diamond Kote is the product that the three contractors that completed on sites have mentioned and I concur with that product choice.

Reminder all trim on windows, doors and corners stays in place. This contract is only for removal and replacement of horizontal lap siding.

RFI 11: We have concerns regarding SIPs construction with building wrap and lap siding directly over the building wrap, especially with all the nail holes present post removal of existing siding. A well-sealed SIPs panel is important for longevity, as is air movement and water drainage behind siding for product longevity. Our recommendation is to remove all the building wrap and install a self-adhered WRB with drainage space, such as Benjamin Obdyke¿s

Hydrogap SA. However, this will add to the cost of the project. Should we add this as an optional line item to the base bid?

Facility Reply: I would recommend they put it as an option (in addition to the traditional wrap that is currently on the building).

RFI 12: SOW states to utilize smart siding, there are multiple products that vary in pricing.

Please confirm a standard LP Smart Side product is the desired material.

Facility/COR Reply: The siding will be lap siding

LP Smart siding. Diamond Kote is the product that the three contractors that completed on sites have mentioned and I concur with that product choice.

Proposal submittal due date remains as March 8, 2024, 5:00 pm EST.
