About this file

This is Addendum No. 1 for the Alaska Veterans & Pioneers Home Roof Replacement project (Bid No. 25-N0817C), issued by the State of Alaska on March 21, 2025. The addendum provides clarifications and responses to contractor questions regarding a roof replacement project at the Alaska Veterans & Pioneers Home in Palmer. The bid deadline remains April 8, 2025, at 2:00 PM, and the project involves removing partial existing roof assemblies and installing new roof systems, with potential additional work including heat trace installation, dining roof replacement, and chimney surround modifications. Contractors are advised that work can proceed 7 days per week, with consideration for resident occupancy, and must coordinate with facility operations staff.

The project requires contractors to obtain and pay for both City of Palmer Building Code and Fire Marshall permits. Specific technical clarifications include flexibility in insulation board sizes and configurations, roofing color selection, and roof assembly construction methods. The estimated project cost ranges between $3,250,000 and $4,800,000, with a projected completion time of 215 days after notice to proceed. Selected contractors and subcontractors will be required to complete several federal compliance forms, including Davis-Bacon Act certification, debarment documentation, drug-free workplace certification, and lobbying disclosure. The project also must comply with the Build America Buy America Act (BABAA) requirements.

Contractor Questions

1. Question: Does roofing need to match profile and manufacturer of existing roofing?

Response: The new roofing should be similar in profile and appearance to the existing roofing. It does not need to match the existing manufacturer.

2. Question: Does the new roofing need to match the existing roofing color?

Response: Per the Specification, the roofing color can be selected by the architect from the manufacturer’s full range of colors. It does not need to be a custom match to the color as the facilities aging roof has multiple shades of dark brown roofing.

3. Question: Can the building facilities be used?

Response: Contractors are responsible for providing porta potties, waste, and recycling containers. Coordinate locations with AVPH O&M Staff prior to delivery.

Revision: Drawing Cover Sheet G-001 General Project Notes item 5 indicated that Facility Washrooms would be available. This is incorrect. Note will be deleted.

4. Question: Is the contractor work schedule limited to 5 days a week? Or can it be 7 days a week?

Response: Due to the nature of the work, 7 days a week is acceptable. Contractors should acknowledge that Residents will remain in these wings while the work is being completed and work hours must be observed. Also note that AVPH O&M Staff will not be on site typically after 3pm or on weekends.

5. Question: On the roof assembly, why is the furring shown horizontal?

Response: Sheet G-100 R2 Roof Assembly shows 1.5” wood blocking. This is intended to be part of a composite roof sheathing, venting, and insulation panel. This is described in Spec Section 06 16 00 Sheathing under Composite Nail Base Insulated Roof Sheathing. This is not intended to be continuous horizontal furring strips.

Clarification: At Contractor’s option, they can site-build the roof assembly in place of the composite nail base assembly. This would include the roof sheathing, 2x blocking or furring, vent cavity, and first layer of rigid insulation. For the furring, the roof weight allowance would allow up to 2x4s at 16” o.c. run vertical. The Contractor would also be responsible for providing the fastening calculation rather than using the manufacturer’s table recommendations.

6. Question: Is Isogard GL Insulation an acceptable product to use? Product Data sheet is attached for reference.

Response: Insulation products should meet the specification bid documents. A basic review of this product indicates that it appears to meet spec.

Clarification: At Contractor’s option, the size (48”x96”) and thickness of the layers of rigid insulation may vary from what’s indicated in the specification. For example, 48”x48” insulation boards are acceptable. Or 3 layers or 2” rather than 2 layers of 3” are acceptable. Total thickness of insulation and roof design should remain per Spec and Drawings.

7. Question: Please confirm that the Palmer Veterans & Pioneers Home is in the jurisdiction of Palmer Building Code Enforcement and a permit is to be pulled and paid for by the contractor.

Response: Yes, it’s in the City of Palmer jurisdiction. Permit to be pulled and paid by Contractor.

8. Question: Is a Fire Marshall Permit to be pulled and paid for by the contractor?

Response: Yes, permit to be pulled and paid by Contractor.
