Kathryn C. Leatherman Contracting Officer 304-263-0811 ext. 2083 Q1) Construction note 2 on drawing M2.01a says to route the new 2.5” pumped condensate down to existing 1.5” pipe but drawings show the new piping to be 1.5”.

What is the proper size?

A1) New pumped condensate is 1.5” Q2) Spec section 23 05 11, 1.5, E,3 talks about coordination drawings.

Are coordination drawings required for this project?

A2) Yes coordination drawings are required, see paragraph 23 05 11, 1.4, H Q3) In the description of work, under the base bid mechanical work, it says “Two valves must be present in each branch for safety”.

Please explain what this means. Where in the branch are the valves to be located? Are the valves to be installed back to back or is there a certain distance needed between them? Is this to be done every time there is a tee in the line?

A3) Putting a drain valve between (2) shut-off valves allows a point to drain the condensate, and to provide extra safety

Q4) In the description of work, under bid item 2, it says “Delete demolition of old pipe, its insulation and associated material. Remove the abandoned laundry and trash duct systems”.

Is the section stating to remove the laundry and trash duct systems telling us to remove this portion of the work from the bid, or is it restating that this system is to be removed from the building?

A4) If the alternate is taken, the removal of the existing laundry and trash duct is still required to make room for the new steam and condensate piping to be installed. The alternate describes not removing old piping, but ductwork is to be removed.
