# Request for Information Response

Demolition, Abatement and window demolition is well defined on the plans. Selective demolition is not well defined. This demolition is mainly defined by a hatched symbol on the plans. Can demolition plans be provided for the architectural and MEP work so the work is not over figured in terms of dollars?

Demolition plans are provided in the drawing set

Can plans be provided showing the food service equipment?7

Food service equipment plans are to be provided by the VA. Utilities have been designed to accommodate the desired equipment.

Specifications were provided on applied fireproofing. Can plans be provided defining the scope of work?

Fireproofing should be installed on new structural members to meet the rating requirement provided on 01-I9.

4 Specialties, Can plans be provided showing ECG-2 (End Cap Guards), RWC-5 (Rigid Wall Coverings) and RWP-1 (Resin Wall Panels)? We have not been able to locate these items on the current set of plans.

ECG-2 is shown on 01-A26, RWC-5 is called out in the Finish Schedule, RWP-1 has location called out in Finish Legend

Roof, Can a detail be provided showing the sill height elevation between the floor and the roof. This is needed to select the proper pedestals for the roof pavers and turf units. Our concern is providing the proper transitions to the floor.

The roof deck is believed to be 6" below the finished floor. This will need to be verified in the field once demolition of the roofing system is complete.

Windows, The window drawings: 1. Sheet 01-A43 (and others) show 7 ½” curtain wall (CW) details in all cases, which is incorrect. In a revised set, show the correct details for each of the chosen systems. These details reference storefront spec callouts, <084113-B> which is also in correct. In a revised set, shot the correct spec number call outs. 3. The "storefront Curtain Wall Schedule" on 01-A47 has errors & omissions.

All exterior Curtain Wall systems are to be 7-1/2" depth. Specification reference will be updated to 08 44

13. Storefront Curtain Wall Schedule will be updated.

Each subcontractor shall designate a minimum of one CP in compliance with 29 CFR 1926.20 (b)(2) that will be identified as a CP to administer their individual safety programs.” Per Specification 01 35 26, paragraph 1.7.C, “These Competent Persons can have collateral duties as the subcontractor’s superintendent and/or work crew lead persons as well as fill more than one specialized CP role…” Is it permissible for the same individual to satisfy both roles simultaneously?

The CQC Manager shall be a member of the general contractor’s on-site work organization and shall have authority to act in all CQC manners for the general contractor. The Safety & Health Manager shall meet the requirements of 01 35 26. No where in the section does it state the SHSO must be always on site.
