Q3.Is there a soils report? And a topo survey?

A3. Yes. Included with this addendum. A Geotech Report and a Topo Survey

Q4. Who is responsible for the survey and staking?

A4. Contractor is responsible for the survey and staking.

A5. The perimeter fence is a typical 7' ht. chain link with metal poles and metal pole top rail with a B wire, galvanized with slats.

Q6. Div 2. Fence. What is the system being proposed to attach 4 x 4 post to the concrete slab?

A6. The 4x4 post question is regarding the wood fence around the 6' ht trash enclosure. A 12" diameter concrete sono tube with a simpson CB44 bracket cast into the concrete would be sufficient.

A7. A 6 mil vapor barrier is sufficient.

Q8. I do not see electrical drawings. Is this a design build project?

New Village Project Bid Q&A 2/27/24 Page 3 of 4

A8. There is a lighting plan for each of the modules as a basis of design. Yes the mechanical, electrical and plumbing scopes will be design build. General Contractors are responsible for providing necessary subcontractor drawings for state and local permitting. This also includes the coordination of the underground utilities.

Q9. There was discussion of aluminum modular decks, stairs, rail, and ramps being acceptable in lue of wood framed. Please confirm.

A9. Bid will need to include concrete ramps and wood framed decks as the basis of design. A substitution of aluminum may be submitted that offers comparable slip resistance, durability, maintenance, and accessibility standards.

Q10. Is the basis of design for the modulars to be fully built offsite and connections only to be made onsite?

A10. The modules are designed to be built offsite with the majority of elements installed in the facility, but understood there will be onsite installation of the connections requiring patches in the siding.

Q11. Where is the existing power for tie ins?

A11. There is an existing power pole at the NW corner of the property. Assume an overhead line, similar to the Veterans’ Village, to a meter at the office building. This has not been confirmed with PGE.

Q12. Is there anywhere we can put dirt on the hillside or is all dirt to be hauled away?

A12. Existing organic soil and clean fill can be distributed onsite as outlined by ESC drawings.

Debris such as trash, abandoned materials must be removed. Final grade to be per ESC 150 for permanent erosion control measures.

Q13. Plumbing, Electrical, and Mechanical are all design build and need to procure their respective permits for this project.

A13. Yes the mechanical, electrical and plumbing scopes will be design build. General

Contractors are responsible for providing necessary subcontractor drawings for state and local permitting. This also includes the coordination of the underground utilities.

Q14. C1.00 Note 4 states to remove concrete, however during the bid walk on Thursday we were told that it did not need to be removed, please clarify.

A14. Approximately 20 concrete square stones currently onsite may remain onsite. This includes leaving the foundations on the south boundary of the fence.

Q15. Is there access to the Survey, Civil, and Architectural plans in cad if awarded the project? Is the current surveyor on the project willing to continue to work with the contractor for additional services?

New Village Project Bid Q&A 2/27/24 Page 4 of 4

A15. Contractor will hire a surveyor to stake the project. A shared DWG of the Survey and

Architectural plans will be shared for reference but it is the responsibility of the contractor to verify all dimensions to the printed plans.

Q16. Is there a rat slab in the crawl spaces? The architectural plans do not show it, but the structural plans do, please clarify?

A16. A 6 mil vapor barrier is sufficient rather than a concrete rat slab.

Q17. On S6.0C the structural floor system is noted as using a 9 1/4 x 1 3/4” LVL with 11 7/8”

TJI’s, can this rim be changed to an 11 7/8” rim to match the joist depth or the joist changed to match the rim depth?

A17. Yes.

Q18. Is there a belly band on the modular units to allow for the structural connections shown on

1/S3.0?

A18. Yes, a 5/4 x 10 primed cedar trim board acting as a belly band around the structural connection to the foundation is necessary. This will cover the plywood connection and allow the majority of the siding to be built in the facility.

Q19. On S2.0B there are holddowns shown at the end of the wall separating the kitchen from the laundry, can we introduce an additional 2x2 on the long wall towards the kitchen to allow for the unit to be sided in the shop and still achieve the structural connection in the field with minimal site siding?

A19. Yes, this is acceptable
