QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

SUBMITTED 10.15.26:

1. Is the gym TPO retrofit base bid or an alternate? 01 10 00 includes it in the work, A100/A105 call it an alternate, and the bid form has no roofing alternate. [Ref: A100, A105, 01 10 00 1.2, 07 54 25]

BASE DID FOR DORSETT SHOALS

2. Section 07 41 13 (standing-seam metal roof) is referenced but missing from the manual. Issue it, or define the base-bid "new hardware and flashing" scope. [Ref: A100, A105, A500]

ADDRESSED IN ADD #1

3. Confirm the shingle tear-off depth (are the existing insulation and plywood removed?) and the intended new assembly. Shingles need a nailable deck, but A105 details show 1" insulation and 1/2" cover board. [Ref:

A500; A105 det. 9-12; 07 31 13]

4. Provide roof SF by area, the limits of the TPO "patch work only" area, and the scupper locations. [Ref:

SAE DOES NOT ESTABLISH SQUARE FOOT AREAS

5. Resolve the placeholder references ("X/AXXX", "[DETAIL NUMBER]"). Provide the gutter, scupper and curb details. [Ref: A105]

6. Correct 07 54 25: the warranty form names Rome City Schools / Rome HS, it says "PVC ribs," and it has an Energy Star steep-slope note. Also, the uplift pressures in 07 54 23 2.2.C are blank. Confirm the design pressures. [Ref: 07 54 25; 07 54 23]

7. Is the 100 mph wind warranty also required for the TPO retrofit and the shingles? [Ref: 07 54 23 / 07 54 25 / 07 31 13]

8. Will Duro-Last PVC be considered for the low-slope and retrofit areas? If yes, a formal request will follow under 01 25 00. [Ref: 01 25 00; 07 54 23/25] NO

9. Which trade removes and reinstalls the kitchen hood roof package and the existing equipment curbs? [Ref:

M101/M104 keynote D10] MEANS AND METHODS FOR GENERAL CONTRACTOR

10. Confirm the abatement contractor (not the roofer) removes the asbestos soffit board, and release the hazmat report to bidders. [Ref: A100 D-6.1; A105 det. 12; 02 41 19] ADDRESSED ON DRAWINGS

11. Where does metal deck exist under the reroof areas? This applies to the 300 SF metal deck allowance.
