ADD/DELETE/REVISE

ADD

Question 1:

In the scope of work item #5 States Any unlevel surface shall be leveled before installation. I would like to address this specification. Are you saying it needs to be smooth or do you want to level it? They are two different processes. This building was built in 1939. I don’t think there is anything level in it. To level it would be a huge undertaking, to make the floor smooth is I believe what this spec. is saying. I just want to get clarification.

Answer:

A flat and level floor is key so that the adjoining vinyl plank flooring doesn’t have varying heights (risk management, and maintenance and continued care of installed LVP). The standard tolerance required is for the floor to be level to 3/ 16” w ithin a 10' radius. It also can't have a dip of ⅛” within 2'. Level means that a floor doesn't slope in any direction. Tip; pour the self-leveler into the low points. Use a metal trowel to make sure that the lower areas, and any holes, are filled before gravity levels it out.

P.O. BOX 447 ALBANY, GA 31702 | PHONE: 229.431.3211 | FAX: 229.431.2184 | www.albanyga.gov low spots using a large leveler or a straight, long piece of pipe. Move the material around the floor and check for any up-and-down movement. These high areas should be marked to be leveled. LVP can be installed over the existing VCT only if the existing VCT is level.

Question 2:

Also, the specification for the safety tape on the steps is calling for 6” x 24” is it correct to understand you want a 24” piece of tape in the center of the step?

Answer:

Request as much of the step be covered as possible with the 6”x24” tape/tread. Start with the middle of the step and move outward with the remaining width of the 6”x24” tape/tread.

Question 3

Could there be clarification on what is to be done on the stairwell?

Is the expectation for the existing stair material to be removed and new treads and risers installed?

Or does the existing stair treads and risers stay as is with 80 grit 6x24 tread tape installed?

Answer:

Remove the tread tape, clean the stairs, and install new tape which can also be treads if it meets specs.
