RFI for 526-18-103 Replace Exterior Windows, Phase 1 RFI responses are very vague and confusing, can agency please clarify below questions:

Question 1 If existing windows are to be removed from the exterior then why is the poly partition required in each room? for dust control only?

Response:

The partition is required for Infectious Control and dust control.

Question 2 If existing windows are to be removed from the exterior then can the window system be removed intact, lower it down to the ground and then asbestos workers can remove the sash with the caulking inside their decon.

Response:

Means and Methods are determined by the Contractor.

Question 3 Please refer to RFI responses 30 and 31, if the contractor’s site superintendent is not allowed to perform the duties of SSHO and CQC personnel, then does the contractor have to hire these personnel full time or part time? This will have a big impact on general conditions cost, so please clarify.

Response:

Per design documents the contractor's site superintendent is not allowed to perform the duties of SSHO and CQC personnel. Additionally, per the solicitation documents, the SSHO and CQC is required to be present on site when all work is performed.
