Amendment 7 15-223-SOL-00107 2 of 4

3. On Attachment J-1 (Renovation of Building 14 Drawings) Sheet CU-101 Do we need to add one manhole and replace two as shown below?

Response: Three (3) new manholes are required on CU101

4. On Attachment J-1 (Renovation of Building 14 Drawings) Sheet CU-101. What is the quantity of conduit and size of cables for rerouting the primary 15kV.

Response: Contractors shall approximate distances for 15kv primary relocation from CU101 -bidder should keep in mind general notes 2 and 4 on E-001 - unforeseen obstacles may necessitate routing changes. As built drawings appear to indicate that existing 15 kv primary in question is 3 # 500 KCM with #3 ground in 3 1/2" conduit. Offerors are reminded to coordinate all relocation work with NCTR (general note 1 on CU101).

5. On Attachment J-1 (Renovation of Building 14 Drawings) Sheet E-603 please clarify-The intent is to run 5-4"C and 4-2"C from Bld 14 to HH-10F, correct?

Response: That is correct.

6. According to the spec the roofing contractor will be removing the existing roofing system and installing a new Base sheet and a new self adhering ply over 1/2” DDP and 25 PSI ISO. There is also a sealofex roof coating to be applied over the new roof. I usually don’t see this type of specification. Usually there is a Cap sheet, a base sheet, a coverboard, and ISO for a 20 yr.

Amendment 7 15-223-SOL-00107 3 of 4 warranty with no coating. I was curious if we could install the SA ply as the base sheet and torch on a cap sheet for a 20 yr. warranty?

Response: No this is not acceptable, offeror shall bid as specified in the solicitation.

7. In reading section 09 05 61 Common Work Results for Flooring Preparation Section 1.02 F. 1.

Says to “See allowances and Bid form”. I don’t see an allowance for floor prep or a list of allowance that I am to provide.

Response:

Disregard allowances referred in this section and in all other sections. The contractor’s price shall include all work needed for full preparation to perform work. All offers shall include total costs incurred by the contractor to perform the work. No allowances will be entertained.

8. In building 14 plan page M-105 keyed note #9 shows a 3” gas line that goes thru the mezzanine and tells you it continues on P-101. There is not a natural gas line shown on P-101. With this being a 3” I am assuming that it is catching a lot of stuff. Can you verify if this gas line is needed?

Response: The gas line is to be valved and capped after it drops below the deck, in an accessible location. This is to give the option of gas for the labs in the future. It was expressed that there was no immediate need for gas, but it would be extremely convenient to have the service in the building.
