Continuation of SF 30 – RFQ 140P1426Q0012 – Amendment A00001 Vendor Questions & NPS Answers

1. Access Conditions: Please confirm whether access to all insulation work areas will be unobstructed and readily accessible using existing hatches, doors, or openings. If access limitations exist (e.g., restricted crawlspaces, limited attic clearance, or removal of finishes), please clarify whether such conditions are included in the scope.

a. There are access hatches that are accessible from the exterior along the foundation stem wall. The stem wall sits on grade and is fully exposed. One cabin has two access hatches that are accessible from the outside and the other cabin has one access hatch that is accessible from the outside. The crawlspace underneath the cabins is 2’ tall and there is plenty of room to move around.

2. Demolition and Removal: Please confirm whether removal and disposal of existing insultation, debris, or obstruction materials are included in the scope of work, or if insulation is to be installed over existing materials where encountered.

a. There will be no removal of debris. The crawlspace is clean and free of debris.

3. Code and Compliance Requirements: What R value is necessary and what type of spay foam are you searching for? Open cell vs Closed Cell.

a. We do not have a specified R-Value to achieve. Whatever R-Value is achieved by the specified depth of spray in the stud bays and along the rim joist is what it will be. If the specs it calls for full stud depth spray (3.5”) and spraying along the rim joist. The rim joist spraying can be 2-3” spray depth. In the specs it calls for Closed Cell Foam.

4. Unknown or Hidden Obstructions: Please confirm how concealed conditions such as wiring, mechanical systems, structural obstructions, moisture intrusion, or other unforeseen conditions are to be addressed, and whether remediation of such conditions is included in the scope of work.

a. There is no mechanical in the area under the cabins. All electrical is located above the work area and does not obstruct movement around the area. The area is sealed off from moisture intrusions other than typical air humidities. The only obstruction is a stem wall that runs down the center of the foundation. It is primarily open framing and there are access areas in it to be able to move from one side to the other. This wall will not be sprayed.

5. The specifications refer to a full stud bay fill. Can you confirm whether the spray foam is required to be shaved flush to the face of the studs, or if it can remain proud of the studs given that the area is a crawlspace and will remain unfinished?

a. It is not necessary to shave flush.

6. Since we are unable to perform a site visit, based on the Google image below are you able to inform us of where the cabins are located?

a. See the 2nd photograph – The location is off picture immediately to the left of the roundabout located in top left corner. See cross hair on the photo beneath the immediate one below, just below it is the first cabin. The cabins specific to this contract were not set at the time of imagery but are set in the adjoining vacant gravel areas. What is relevant is that a truck or trailer can be easily driven and parked immediately in front of either cabin.

2nd Photo: at the beginning of the next page.

Park has also provided the following information and photos

1. There is also a waterline and the main plumbing drain that extends down into the ground under the cabins, but they are easily worked around.

2. Photo 1 below is of one of the cabins without the lower siding panel on it. This shows how the stem walls are and their access.

3. Photo 2 below is of the foundation prior to the cabin being set on top of it. This shows what the area looks like.

4. The diagonal bracing was removed after the cabin was set so there is no bracing under the cabins. The foundation that is not shown only has one access hatch and that is in the right front corner of the foundation similar to the one in the photo.
