About this file

This document is a Questions & Answers (Q&A) file for the Willard Roof Repair Quarters 1 & 3 federal contract opportunity (Solicitation Number 140FC325Q0022). The Q&A addresses five Requests for Information (RFIs) related to specific project details, including soffit paint coverage, gutter reinstallation, siding requirements, and building wrap specifications. Key responses include: painting only the immediate soffit areas above front porches, reinstalling gutters without touch-up painting, rejecting alternative siding materials for metal siding, and only accepting ZIP System sheathing if it matches the price of Tyvek. An additional optional RFI about repainting end gable walls was also rejected, with the government responding "No" to the proposed additional work.

Willard Roof Repair Quarters 1 & 3 Questions & Answers

RFI 1 – Soffit Paint Coverage (Task 13)

The immediate soffit over the entryway to each residence is approximately 4’ x 9’ but is continuous with 2’ soffits that extend to either side across the front of the properties, which measure approximately 45’. Regarding Task 13 would you prefer to just paint the immediate soffit areas above the front porches, or paint match the soffits 100% as they continue to either side of the front porch by painting the entire front facing soffit area?

Answer: Paint the immediate soffit areas above the front porches.

RFI 2 – Gutters Paint Touch-Up (Task 13)

Do gutters need to be touched up with new paint to match gutters that do not move on soffit areas outside the work area, or is it acceptable to simply reinstall them?

Answer: Reinstall gutters.

RFI 3 – Siding over Sub-Sheathing (No Task Specified)

While Task 9 specifies sub sheathing with building wrap, there is no Task addressing what kind of siding is to be used to cover the sub sheathing and building wrap prior to paint being applied to the gable and soffits in Task 13. Unit 192 was recently repaired at the front gable, with what appears to be a metal lap siding. There are other superior lap sidings made by Hardi (made of cementitious composite and primed), and Smart Siding (made of weather rated OSB and primed) that will generally match. Are these acceptable substitutes for metal siding?

Answer: No

RFI 4 – Alternate to Building Wrap (Task 9)

Task 9 specifies using sub sheathing and building wrap (TYVEK). Instead of Tyvek and sub-sheathing, would ZIP System sheathing with ZIP tape seams (which meets IBC and UBC standards and is generally considered superior) be an acceptable alternative?

Answer: No, unless it’s the same price as (TYVEK).

RFI 5 – No Task Specified: (Optional)

It was noticed that the end gable walls above the masonry are in weathered condition and can be scraped and repainted easily with the extra paint being brought to the jobsite. Would you like a quote for the 2 gable end walls on each of the two residences to be refinished with paint matching the soffits and front gable?

Answer: No
