4. Can a superintendent be a triple hat to cover the requirements of SSHO and QA/QC?

Response: No.

5. Do any of the existing spaces contain asbestos or hazardous material?

Response: No Known ACM/Hazardous material are in any of the spaces. Drawings are Available that show our current survey that happened. If anything is suspected to notify the

COR ASAP.

6. Will the wireless devices shown to be attaching to the domestic waterlines be able to communicate with the Metasys by themselves or will they need an additional piece of equipment to communicate with the system?

AE Response: Refer to schematic diagram on drawing P903. Confirm and coordinate with vendor.

7. Has a survey been completed to ensure that these wireless devices will be able to communicate to the monitoring system without the use of additional repeaters?

AE Response: No survey conducted. Provide additional repeaters as needed for complete installation.

8. If additional repeaters are required for communication connectivity, will those be part of this project scope?

AE Response: Provide additional repeaters as needed for complete installation.

9. Will this project schedule occur along with the scheduled completion of the new water tower or will the project need to extend in order to coincide with that completion?

Response: No, the Water tower will not be done before this project is completed. No we shouldn’t have to extend, at time of award we can discuss out we want to handle the Devices that is going at the new water tower.

10. Can you please clarify the location of where the monitoring device should be located in building 38? The photo shown on 6/P901 is difficult to identify an exact location.

AE Response: The monitoring device to be mounted on the incoming water line anywhere just inside the pipe tunnel prior to entering the crawlspace/basement.

AE Response: Asbestos was not observed on site during design. Asbestos report available upon request to the VA.

12. Referencing Drawing.pdf, Sheet E400, Keynote 2- states to provide a pathway for the BACnet -Modbus gateway device. For each monitoring location where should conduit be run back to for BACnet to tie-in?

AE Response: There will be only one Modbus Gateway needed for all monitoring devices to communicate to the VA BACnet system. Provide cabling and conduit as needed to tie into the VA BACnet. Coordinate tie-in location with VA. Confirm final requirements with vendor.

13. Does the "domestic water monitoring display" require conduit to be installed to bring cabling from a certain location to the display?

AE Response: A communication cable and conduit is required between the VA server and the Monitoring Panel. Refer to RFI 12 above for additional information.

14. Does the "domestic water monitoring display" require power source to be installed at its proposed location or is there a power source existing?

AE Response: Display shall be connected to the nearest local receptacle. Location shall be coordinated in field. Provide a new receptacle and connect to the nearest local receptacle circuit with available capacity, if one is needed.
