Solicitation Amendment #3 – RFI Questions and Answers See attached DWG-18198-AD101.REV1-ARCHITERCTURAL REMOLITION PLAN Question: The following specifications sections are included in the contract documents but I do not see any applicable work shown on the contract drawings. Please confirm if these specification are applicable to this project and if so, where the work is to be included.

1. Section 04 01 00 Maintenance of Masonry

2. Section 04 21 00 Architectural Terra Cotta

3. Section 05 21 00 Steel Joist Framing

4. Section 07 13 52 Below Garde Waterproofing Answer: 1. Section 04 01 00 Maintenance of Masonry - Included as it is referenced in 04 05 13. Also added as reference on chance of damage to masonry units during demo/tie-in of new walls; no area of masonry is intended for specific maintenance/repair.

2. Section 04 21 00 Architectural Terra Cotta - All Terra Cotta work was removed from the scope of this project. This specification can be disregarded.

3. Section 05 21 00 Steel Joist Framing - This specification can be disregarded

4. Section 07 13 52 Below Grade Waterproofing - Required for concrete steam trench per 33 63 00.

Question: I know I missed the date; however, would it be possible to get a sanitary schematic for the underground piping going to the trench drains?

Answer: See attached photo for 3D view of trench train sanitary piping otherwise shown on PP101. Note, design intent is that both SS and V are installed below slab, but the slab had to be turned off in the 3D view for clarity.

Question: Can the AISC certification requirements can be waived? This requirement will severally limit the number of bidders and increase project cost.

Answer: The structural engineer of record does not feel comfortable waiving that requirement as it is currently specified in 05 12 00 Section 1.5 - Quality Assurance.

Question: Elevation 10/A-702 calls out a Commercial Hood. Who is providing and installing this item? If contractor, please provide equipment specifications.

Answer: The contractor is responsible for purchase and install of the Range Hood. See EF-5 as shown on M-601, MH101 and spec 23 34 00, Wet chem hood system on FX501, and attached spec 233813 – Commercial-Kitchen Hoods for additional information on hood enclosure.

Question: Is the project superintended accepted to also perform as the quality control officer and SSHO, provided they have the qualifications and capabilities.

Answer: The project superintendent can also perform the duties of the SSHO. The CQC must be a separate person independent of the Superintendent and SSHO.

Question: Can the requirement for the AISC certification for steel fabricators be waived?
