mailto:Dewayne.Knowles@va.gov mailto:diana.grube@va.gov joee Typewritten Text joee Typewritten Text 02/05/21 joee Typewritten Text Due to the large quantity of RFI responses in Amendment 0003 and the 50+ pending RFIs not included in the Amendment 0003, we respectfully request at least 10 business days to finish proposals. The Amendment 0003 included over 140 RFI responses and there are 50+ responses pending. This number of RFI responses take time to properly review and digest ourselves, distribute to each of our subcontractors and vendors, allow them adequate time to review and digest, and allow everyone in the chain to revise and submit their bids.

mailto:Dewayne.Knowles@va.gov mailto:diana.grube@va.gov joee Typewritten Text joee Typewritten Text 02/05/21 joee Typewritten Text Though past the RFI deadline, we believe it in best interest of the Government to address the following question as the answer can swing pricing significantly for both concrete demo, plumbing demo, and concrete patching in the basement. The plumbing demo sheets, PD101, PD102 include notes that appear to suggest that all plumbing piping and drains which are under the basement slab are to be removed in their entirety. There are dozens of plumbing fixtures in the basement with likely hundreds of feet of underground plumbing pipe and drains. Typically, the pipe at each of these locations would be cut to below the slab, capped and have concrete poured over top. However, these notes appear to suggest that all of the piping and drains under slab are to be removed by cutting and jack hammering potentially hundreds of feet of concrete slab and pouring back. Please clarify if these plumbing pie and drains are to be capped and abandoned in place or cut out of the concrete and removed in its entirety.

Zoe Typewritten Text It is acceptable to cut plumbing below the slab and cap with concrete.
