X X X The purpose of this amendment is to update the solicitation with information from the AE and attach the cabling spec that was provided.

All other terms & conditions remain unchanged.

FYI Submission from AE for 528A8-22-851 Upgrade VA Albany BMS Backbone

1. The project specs do not indicate a fiber type or strand count for new cabling, please clarify.

Response:

See attached spec section 27 15 00 COMMUNICATIONS STRUCTURED CABLING.

2. 2/1-DA-102: The drawings imply no ceiling, but the field condition is plaster and lathe. Please confirm if this is to be demolished.

Response:

The existing plaster and lathe ceiling shall remain. In spaces with plaster and lathe ceiling, install new conduits and devices below ceiling.

3. Dumbwaiter Vestibules: We suspect double ceilings, original plaster and lathe above the visible drop ceilings in these rooms. Please confirm if present.

Response:

When Fellenzer was on-site we checked above the 6th and 9th floor ACT and found no plaster layer above those ceilings. Fellenzer did not check floors 2-5, 7-8, or 10.

4. Given the plaster and lathe in 2/1-DA-102 area and potentially above the vestibule drop ceilings, please advise if any testing has been performed for lead or asbestos.

Response:

Assume plaster and lathe to have ACM and lead. Contractor shall include hazardous material testing and abatement in the bid price. If ACM is not found in certain areas, credit back to owner for abatement of those areas.
