RFI Questions in Black and Responses are in Red

1) It states in the bid documents the period of performance is 45 days from the notice to proceed. With the submittal approval process and current lead times this could be difficult to achieve. Can this be extended if necessary?

45 Business days was put based of a manufacturer recommendation of 3 weeks (15 Business day lead time) what can give 30 more business days for construction; however, this time CAN BE EXTENDED if needed up to total 75 business days (from the NTP) for the purpose of materials submittals, approvals or any possible delays related to the materials.

2) What is the design basis of the flue and is there a manufacturer’s rep that helped design the project that can be contacted for pricing?

Used two manufactures basses of design and communicated with two different agents a- BOD: DuraVent DSID UL1738 – Gary Archer garcher@mcsmms.com b- BOD: CORR/GAURD® special gas vent FCS-1 - Jason Massett jmassett@rfpeck.com Please refer to the design documents for the specified materials used in the inner wall and the casing.

3) Does the removal/reinstallation of the lightning protection have to be done by a certified contractor?

No special certification/ licensure is required as long a certification by the contractor that the lightning protection system has been properly installed and inspected to be submitted at the end.

4) How many boilers can be taken down at once?

Two boilers at the maximum.
