Edward Kostolansky Contracting Officer Renovation of Dietary Walk-in Coolers/Freezers Project #528-16-104 The purpose of this amendment is to provide answers to questions received outside the RFI period. These questions were deemed to be in the best interest of the Government. All Contractors providing a sealed bid must acknowledge all amendments on the SF 1449. The scheduled bid opening remains unchanged and will take place on Wednesday, November 7, 2018 at 1:00 PM at the NCO 2 Office, Appletree Business Park, 2875 Union Road, Suite 3500, Cheektowaga, NY 14227.

Q.1. The drawing just has 3 areas identified as asbestos abatement, only the loading dock area actually tells you what materials are in the area, the other 2 don’t give any info about the locations or quantities of asbestos in each location. Please provide quantities and locations.

A.1. See attachment for response/clarification.

Q.2.I don’t know how the coolers are constructed or where the asbestos wall, floor, and ceiling mastic is within the coolers; so I don’t know how they will come apart, how the asbestos will come off of them, and what will need to be disposed of as asbestos waste and what can be clean C&D waste. Please advise as the locations of the asbestos on this.

A.2. See attachment for response/clarification.

Q.3. I don’t know the locations of asbestos pipe insulation. It looks like some pipes might be drawn on the asbestos plan but I’m not sure if that’s what the dashed lines represent, and they don’t match piping on the plumbing demo or mech demo plans, and some of them extend outside of the construction barriers. I don’t know if the asbestos fireproofing insulation on the columns is exposed, or enclosed and need enclosures demo’d to access it, or what type of insulation it is, how it’s adhered, or if there is overspray on other surfaces or just the columns. Please provide more information.

A.3. See attachment for response/clarification.
