Please see page 2 for answers to questions sent in response to the solicitation.

Question 1: Please note that the manufacturer of the nursecall system is ASCOM, US. (Paul Heatherington-Area Sale Director). Intelligent Electronic Systems (IES) is no longer the manufacturer's representative within the territory of the Altoona VAMC. Newtech Systems, Inc. (Duane Trippett-304-539-6934) is the Ascom Strategic Partner/Territory Manufacturer's Representative.

Answer 1: The Sole Source document attached to the RFP is for Ascom. Please use the manufacturer Ascom.

Question 2: On print 1-3-21 where the storefront schedule calls out the window designations to get shades it shows an additional 2 windows labeled S26 and S27 as areas to get roller shades, however these 2 window designations are not called out on the floor print or electrical call outs for power. Would you please confirm or disconfirm that these 2 window designations are to get shades?

Answer 2: Windows S26 and S27 do not require window shades. These windows will get limited direct sun due to the positioning of new and existing mechanical equipment. The area they serve is also a Lobby and not work or patient area.

Question 3: Reference Details: 3, 6, 10 & 14 on Drawing 1-3-14 and Details: 3, 6, 10 & 13 on Drawing 1- 3-15. Details indicate 09 30 13.A3 Bullnose Tile being “picture-framed” around mirror. Should the Ceramic Wall Field Tile continue behind mirror.

Answer 3: Please continue tile behind the mirror.

Question 4: Where Ceramic Tile Floors meet Ceramic Tile Walls, details do not show any type of trim. Is a caulk joint acceptable at this intersection or should an aluminum cove strip (ie: Schluter “DILEX”) be installed?

Answer 4: Please use an aluminum cove strip such as Schluter DILIX or similar.

Question 5: Specification Section 09 30 13 – Ceramic/Porcelain Tile, Paragraph 2.7 Grouting Materials indicates both Portland Cement and Epoxy Grout. Which Grout should be used? If Epoxy Grout is utilized this will eliminate the need to seal the grout post-installation.

Answer 5: Please use epoxy grout.
