This is a Questions and Answers document (Amendment 4) for Solicitation #140FGA26Q0052 regarding the Seney National Wildlife Refuge Show Pool Shelter Replacement and Site Restoration project.

The document addresses a single technical inquiry regarding the specifications for tongue and groove (T&G) ceiling material, specifically clarifying whether structural T&G was intended and how metal paneling should be fastened to it given the span dimensions. The response directs contractors to refer to the revised drawing sheet SNY523A0 for roof timber spacing revisions, which supersedes all previous versions of that drawing sheet. Additionally, the response requires contractors to submit a deferred design submittal per specification 133000 1.03.B that must include assembly dimensions, locations of structural members, connections, roof panel layout, general construction details, anchors and anchorage methods, framing anchor bolt settings with sizes and locations from datum, foundation loads, welded connections per AWS A2.4 standards with welding symbols and net weld lengths, and must be sealed and signed by a licensed professional. The accompanying drawing sheets illustrate the show pool shelter floor plan, reflected ceiling plan, and various elevations showing the structure's configuration including timber columns, metal roof components, and concrete footings.
