Answers to RFI

1. Per Sheet A‐101, note #01, please confirm that the existing CMU wall is grouted solid at new door opening locations. If this cannot be confirmed, should we assume the walls are grouted solid and price only filling grout at the new masonry/masonry frames. Assume walls are not grouted and provide as required. Clarification will be provided in “ISSUED FOR CONSTRUCTION” documents.

2. Per head details H1 and H2 on sheet A‐501, the details show two (2) courses of CMU at the header locations stating, "existing 2‐HR CMU wall, grout solid.” Does this statement mean that the existing header conditions are grouted solid already or does the Contractor need to grout them during the project? If contractor must grout them, please advise on how many inches and/or courses will need to be grout filled at these locations. Will be provided in “ISSUED FOR CONSTRUCTION” documents.

3. Per note #02 on sheet A‐101, will controls be required for the louvers. Please advise on the sequencing in addition to the specifications for controls. The existing louver is being relocated. Any existing connections and controls would be relocated with the louver. Will be provided in “ISSUED FOR CONSTRUCTION” documents.

4. Per the Door Schedule as shown on sheet A‐501, the schedule indicates that there are doors, frames, and finish hardware (Door #307 and #308) on this project. Please provide the door and finish hardware specifications along with proposed hardware sets since they are currently not included in the Bid Documents. Will be provided in “ISSUED FOR CONSTRUCTION” documents.

5. Please provide specifications for overhead coiling door shown on sheet A‐501 (Door #301).

Will be provided in “ISSUED FOR CONSTRUCTION” documents.

6. Per General Electrical Note #3 on sheet E‐001, it states "update all panel schedules within the building…" Please confirm that all electrical panels within the building need to be updated or clarify if only the electrical panels affected by this project will require updating. Will be updated in “ISSUED FOR CONSTRUCTION” documents.

7. Please confirm that there are no fire alarm requirements on this project. Specifically, as it relates to the louver controls. The existing louver is being relocated. Any existing connections, alarms and controls would be relocated with the louver.

8. Please confirm that there no modifications necessary to the Fire Sprinkler system on this project. No sprinkler modifications are expected. However, if the contractor notices something in this stage, they need to let COR (VA) know.

9. On the lighting fixtures, can we use an alternative fixture or only what is on the plans?

Lighting fixtures are performance based unless directed otherwise by the VA.

10. On the 1st floor the VA Staff have already done some of the work on the light fixtures, they have used PVC conduit with carapoflex for the whips. The A/E is not familiar with “carapoflex”. Are you referring to “Cabloflex”? If so and the product is acceptable to the VA, the A/E takes no exception.

11. The plans call for liquid tide for all whips but is the conduit staying or Milicon needs to replace with rigid conduit as per plans. Will be provided in “ISSUED FOR CONSTRUCTION” documents.

12. Due to the work performed, are the shutdowns that need to occur for this project to be done at nighttime and/or weekends, please advise? System shutdown will be coordinated during preconstruction. Parameters will be provided in “ISSUED FOR CONSTRUCTION” documents.

13. There is no specification for epoxy floor repairs. If existing floor is epoxy only work is to repair any damaged finishes to match existing. Parameters will be provided in “ISSUED FOR CONSTRUCTION” documents.

14. Who is the Manufacture of the existing epoxy floor supplier? VA direction required for all existing finishes.

15. Contact for local manufacture representative. VA direction required for all existing finishes.

16. The location of new door # 307 has electrical conduits on outside of wall at new door location (see attached picture). Where do you want to relocate door #307? “Attached picture” mentioned above was not provided for review. Door location will be updated in “ISSUED FOR CONSTRUCTION” documents.

17. There are no door & frame specifications & no hardware schedule & specifications or specifications for new man doors. Will be provided in “ISSUED FOR CONSTRUCTION” documents.
