Q 10. We noticed that there are skylights in a couple locations, and they seem to be a little foggy/chalked.

We see that the skylight curbs are to be raised up according to the statement of work, however are there considerations with replacing them as part of this project?

ANSWER: Curbs should be raised if the new insulation thickness reduces the curbs height to less than 8’ above finished surface. The SOW does not call for replacement of Skylights.

ANSWER: See Section C, C-4, I. General, which states that:

“The contractor is responsible for surveying the roof top mounted exhaust and intake units for operability. All units must be documented in the design as operable or not. Those proposed to be replaced will be so marked on the design as such. In the event that more than 6 units are found to be in need of replacement, the larger capacity units are to be given precedence”.

ANSWER: The Contractor must verify existing conditions. The intent is to reuse existing light fixtures and hardware, if feasible.

Q 18. Existing roof drain leaders are round PVC. Is the intent to replace these leaders with aluminum?
