1. In numerous places in both general and key notes on the demo drawings such as AD101 key note “1,4 and 10 calls for demo of existing equipment. In all instances where demo is called out on the drawing can you please clarify what is required and limits of work. I.E. how far back do we demo elec. to the panel? Only wire or conduit and wire? Do we abandon in place just below roof deck? Duct work do we demo to source or outlet or cap below roof deck?

Refer to General Note “E” on drawing EP101 for additional information. Cap all ductwork below roof and remove curb. Repair existing roof.

1. AD101 General note “K”, what are the limits of the demo? All areas within the scope of the project shall receive demolition as indicated on AD drawings.

1. Specs call for adhered EPDM membrane. Due to odors from bonding adhesive (people start complaining and making a fuss) would you consider changing the spec to require LVOC or solvent free bonding adhesive?(water base cannot be used in temp. below 50 degrees) The current spec reflects the VAMC standard requirements. The A/E has no exception to using a low VOC adhesive, provide substitution as a submittal as required by specification 01 33 23

1. Spec call for a base sheet to be mopped down in hot asphalt. This will require a kettle on the ground which will cause odors. This must be a vented base sheet per manufacture requirements. No base sheet is required per manufacture requirements as insulation can be adhered in two part foam adhesive directly to the deck. Is adhering direct to the deck acceptable to the VA? (This affects question 6.) Yes

1. Is the existing concrete deck light weight concrete? Per as built drawings, the roof deck is metal. The specification has been updated. Per as built drawings, the roof deck is metal. The specification has been updated.
