134 Please confirm the courtyard and the service elevators on the 9th floor may be utilized for the duration of the project.
The service elevators shall be shared use with the medical center. There shall be 3 locations that a crane can temporarily set up do lifts, depending on accessibility of those locations (see drawings for location).

No
Specification Section 09.05.16, Moisture Remediation System, how would the Contractor know to include unless there has been a moisture test taken for the Warehouse? I assume the 9th Floor should not need it given it’s not on grade. Please advise if the Contractor should include for the Warehouse.
It is the Contractor responsibility for testing after the project is awarded and shall follow the Spec section 09-05-16.
There was limited access to the 9th floor for the site visit. Are there valves in place at the branches coming off of the risers to isolate the 9th floor from the other floors?
No, the VA would need to have a shutdown.
140 Also are the branches at the risers sufficient in size or must new branch connections be installed? All contractors will need to install per drawings.
