QUESTIONS & ANSWERS LOCH RAVEN STRAINERS

1) Please provide a count for Thermostatic Mixing Valves in Bldg. #1?

a. That part of the scope was added late and I did not include It on the walkthrough as it slipped my mind

b. The thermostatic mixing valves are the valves for each sink in building #1 only. This will be the domestic water system, separate from the VAV heating water system.

c. This includes patient/staff/public bathrooms

d. The surveillance spreadsheet has an accurate count of devices and locations. I would calculate 100 so all bidders have a standard number.

The valves are already installed and will need to be removed, flushed and possibly screens cleaned/replaced, then reinstalled. The agency will purchase all replacements as necessary for the contractor to reinstall. As these were purchased 2 years ago it is unlikely there will be a need for many replacements.

2) Will As-Built floor plans be furnished for Scheduling and Completion Records?

a. Yes. Added in attachments

3) What is the duration for quarterly inspections for Mixing Valves?

a. Until complete. The agency will give 30 days per cleaning cycle per qtr.

b. The rooms can be worked on during the day. Waterwork is not an infection control hazard. Contractor can work at a reasonable pace and will have access to all rooms in real time during the day. Normal protocols should be adhered to but in general use the mandates described in the walkthrough.

c. Set of hand tools, bucket, and flushing equipment is all that’s need.

4) What is the Manufacturer of the existing Mixing Valves?

a. Attachment and link Thermostatic mixing valve for single or multiple faucet installations | Chicago Faucets
