9. Questions, Comments or Notes?

Question 1: It is stated that: "All work within the BASE BID shall be performed between 7:00 a.m. through 4:00 p.m." What are the working hours for work that is required to take place in the corridors? For instance, the Nurse Call home run cabling to POE switch. Is it permitted to work after hours between 4:30 p.m. through 11 :00 p.m. to accomplish work required in the corridors?

VA Answer 1: All work in the Corridors shall be performed during the hours of 4:30PM to 11PM.

Question 2: The electrical power plan (EP101) indicates junction boxes, with 120-volt circuit, for the auto-flushers and auto-faucets. Where are the J boxes located? Typically, there would be transformer involved (auto-faucets below counter top and auto-flush above ceiling???). Who is responsible for the low voltage wiring?

VA Answer 2: See the attached cut sheets for Auto-Flush and Auto-Faucet [this is for “Basis-of-Design”, Approved Equal may be submitted.

Question 3: The electrical lighting plan (EL101) indicates 1/2 shaded (emergency driver) 2'x2' and 2'x4' light fixtures circuited back to emergency panel ECP1. The same fixtures have a small letter switch designation which indicates that they will be controlled with the same switch that controls the "normal" powered fixtures in that area (panel BPG_). Are the 1/2 shaded fixtures constantly ON "night" lights, and do they require emergency drivers? The emergency drivers should be connected to, and ahead of, the local lighting circuit serving that area.

VA Answer 3: Yes, make the fixtures “nightlights” (on 24/7) [therefore, no switching]. Yes, provide Emergency Drivers.

Question 4: There are (2) fixture schedules located in the electrical plans. One on drawing EG101 and one on drawing EL101. Which one is the correct one?

VA Answer 4: Drawing EG101 is correct. Drawing EL101 shall be revised, as per the attached 'Partial Photocopy of Drawing EL101', dated 31JAN19.

VA Answer 5: The Contractors can use any vendor that is Certified in the installation of Fire Alarm Systems.

Question 6: Please provide the vendor name and contact information for the existing Nurse Call System.

VA Answer 6: The Contractors can use any Vendor that is Certified in the installation of Nurse Call Systems.

Question 7: Will work be required in the IT closets?

VA Answer 7: There is no work in the IT Closets.

Question 8: The solicitation stated 254 days to complete the project and the Phasing schedule stated 294/300 days to complete the project which one is correct?

VA Answer 8: Please use the following for the Construction Duration Days: 300 Days [See the attached modified document for this issue.]
