Questions and Answers

1. Will you take past performance in Air Duct Cleaning lieu of NADCA certification?

The NADCA certification is preferred

2. Can you use a HEPA Vacuum that is connected to the vent while cleaning as sufficient verses a floor to ceiling enclosure? No, because the hair handler will be off, and the vendor will be cleaning the duct.

3. Are all 8 of the OR systems on the quote? Are there any recovery rooms included? All the 3rd floor area A? All the OR rooms are on the contract along with the inner core and outer core. Recovery rooms are in a different wing.

4. Everything need to be done on a weekend in December. Can it be done any other weekend? No due to scheduling with the OR department

5. Is there any way to put the balance on a separate bid? No

6. The SOW references 3A Operating Room and 1B SPS sterile prep. The drawings reference several ORs and what exactly is the SPS area is not clear.

As well, the drawing is for piping, not showing the actual ductwork. New drawings have been uploaded that outlines the area of work. The OR rooms consist of everything that the 3A air handler supplies.

7. What is the sf of the air-conditioned space being sought in this RFQ please? This information is not available currently.

8. A drawing of the mechanical room would be helpful. The mechanical room is included on the drawings provided. The only item in the mechanical room is the air handler.

9. The SOW calls for both air duct cleaning and test and balance. These are typically done by separate trades. This may require a GC or MC to be able to combine the trades. Is this how you envision the project? This has been typically completed this way in the past with the prime contractor doing the cleaning and a sub-contractor performing the balancing and testing.

10. For these reasons, may we please set up an extension for the project quote deadline in order to resolve clarifications and to allow for teaming? We are unable to extend the due date currently.

11. What floor is the OR and SPD located on? The OR is on the third floor, A wing.

The SPD is located on the first floor, B wing.
