1. Question: Sheet E401 depicts a floor box that will be recessed in the existing floor. Is there basement space located under rooms 169 and 170? If so, will a “Poke Thru” type floor box be required?
Answer: There is basement space under rooms 169 and 170 that will have a dropped ceiling with removable acoustic tiles. See E401 and section 260533 for floor box requirements. Floor box to maintain floor fire separation.
2. Question: Specification documents 260519-2.1-state that type “MC Cable” is not to be used. Specification 260519-3.1-A states to conceal cables in finished walls, ceilings, and floors…… Upon investigation during the site walk-thru of the existing ceiling space, MC Cable is installed currently. Is it acceptable to use MC Cable within new wall spaces, and above ceiling grid when concealed?

4. Question: Please confirm that the number of days for physical construction on site is 160 calendar days, and the anticipated start date is no earlier than October 4th.

5. Question: Will the contractor have unobstructed access through the west door at hall 136 for the duration of the project?
Answer: See Prologue Revision 1
6. Question: Section L, Page 32 of 33, Volume 2: Factor 1 (b) Though the solicitation package includes a Past Performance Questionnaire, the requirements for proposal submission do not contain any requirement to provide either past performance questionnaires or any form of project experience from the Prime Contractor. Please advise.

Evidence shall also be provided demonstrating their experience in managing projects/contracts of the same/similar dollar magnitude, size, complexity, and scope, including renovation, in the capacity for which they are proposed for this project.” This leaves little space for the requirements in section (b) (Question 6 above).
Answer: Conform to the 10 page allowance as required in the solicitation
8. Question: The Bid Schedule included with the solicitation appears to be for the incorrect project. Please provide the correct Bid Schedule.
