1 Grunley 4/2/2024 1. Section L.3. Past Performance requires three projects of similar size and scope, and indicates that, “projects should demonstrate experience working in: an operating urban campus; constrained sites with limited laydown area, and;

adjacency to public areas and animal habitats.” Please confirm that the three projects can be adjacent to public areas and/or animal habitats.

Three projects can be adjacent to public areas and/or animal habitats. Higher consideration will be given to projects adjacent to public areas and animal habitats.

2 Abacus Sports 4/4/2024 I just left you a message regarding the Cheetah project that is out to bid. Your specs and finish schedule call for our

Padenpor DLX, but spec seems to be written around a

Stonehard product with using Stonclad epoxies and mortars. It reads like the specifiaction have been mixed together. Which product do you want for these floors ((FLR – 2). Assuming you do want our floor, what thickness do you want?

Please see attached our flooring spec. Padenpor is available in different thicknesses.

Please note the two specs and BOD for each:

1) RESINOUS FLOOR SYSTEM BASIS OF DESIGN STONEHARD

STONE CLAD GR, Spec 09 6723

2) RESILIENT FLOORING BOD ABACUS PADENPOR DLX™ –

9/16" CUSHIONED ZOO FLOORING, Spec 09 6567

3 WM Schlosser 4/16/2024 IAS and AISC BU certified fabricators are acceptable

It is acceptable to lower the requirements to include AISC

Certified Fabricator Category BU (Building Fabricator). - AE /

McM

1.Spec Section 051200 Structural Steel Framing (part 1.06-D) calls for “A qualified steel fabricator that is accredited by the International Accreditation Service (IAS) Fabricator Inspection

Program for Structural Steel”. Since most local fabricators do not have this IAS accreditation, can this requirement be waived? If not, can you add “or AISC Certified Fabricator Category BU” to this requirement?

4 Whiting Turner 4/16/2024 Executive Order (EO) 14603 indicates that all federal projects valued at $35 million and above will require a project labor agreement (PLA) unless a federal contracting agency expressly grants an exception. As the expected project value is under this limit, please confirm if a project labor agreement will be required on this project.

Until further notice, PLA is not required

5 Whiting Turner 4/16/2024 Based on the technical nature and specialty aspects the project includes, is a bid extension anticipated?

At this time an extension is not being issued
