of 2 Question:

Sheet TK501, Note 3 states “PROVIDE "J-HOOKS" ABOVE CEILING FOR NURSE CALL HORIZONTAL CABLING.

"J-HOOKS" SHALL BE SPACED 4-5 FEET O.C. OR LESS TO ENSURE THE CABLES DO NOT SAG TOWARDS THE GROUND MORE

THAN

11.81" FROM THE TOP OF THE CABLES TO THE LOWEST POINT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CABLES.” Note 4 states “NURSE CALL CABLING FROM THE DOME LIGHT OUTSIDE OF ROOMS OR IN CORRIDORS GOING INTO THE ROOMS WITH NURSE CALL EQUIPMENT TO BE INSTALLED IN CONDUIT.” Per the government answer to question #14 they state “Nurse call wiring will be in conduit”. Are we to assume the patient rooms are all currently existing in hard pipe or are we to include new pipe for the rooms as well as the hallways?

Because the original drawings called for “j Hooks” we are concerned for the significant cost impact that this would make on time and materials. Please clarify if a complete new conduit system in hallways and rooms is to be considered for the entire project.

Answer:

Nurse Call wiring will be required to be in conduit.
