Zaire Naylor Contracting Officer Page 1 of Page 1 of RE: Solicitation # 36C24724Q0533 – RFIs Project # 534-24-905 - Repair Exterior Balcony – RHJ VAMC – Charleston, SC (VA Engineering responses are in red.)

1. The documents appear to call for composite decking. The joist spanning looks like 2’ on the existing drawings. Typical composite decking requires closer joist spacing. Please advise a special decking is intended or if additional supports are needed. Also, please confirm that the nailers are to be composite material.

The existing Ipe wood deck planks shall be removed and shall NOT be reinstalled.

Special composite decking which will not require additional supports is the intent of this project.

Nailers should be composite material.

2. Much of this work will be required to be done from manlifts and possibly multiple lifts. Please confirm any access limitations and traffic control requirements.

Repair of this hospital 4th floor exterior balcony will likely require blocking off pedestrian and vehicle traffic on the west side of Bravo St. Contractor will be responsible for sidewalk/partial road closure and traffic control/flagman.

The VA will be responsible for closing/blocking off any hospital exterior first floor entrance/exit doors, as needed.

3. The existing balcony has built-in benches. These may not be able to be reinstalled once removed. Please confirm if new benches are expected.

Reinstall existing bench, if possible. New benches are not required.

4. It appears some engineering/inspection will be required, are drawings stamped by an engineer required?

Per the Solicitation Attachment 1 - Statement of Work, and Attachment 7 - Attachment B to SOW – 6-2-21 PEA periodic inspection requirements letter; a preliminary inspection of existing conditions and report are required.

Replacement deck shop drawings/calculations and the composite decking submittals should be stamped by a structural engineer.

5. The project duration is 30 days, but some materials may have a long lead time. Will the VA consider a 60-day project duration?

Any needed changes to project duration would be by the CO.
