Answer: Zone 2A. To be determined by A/E.

6. Will any of this work require entrance into a confined space?

Answer: The VA does not anticipate any confined space work. However, if the contractor’s means and methods require entry into confined space, a permit will be required.

8. May we have a copy of “As Builts” for this area?

Answer: See Appendix F in revised SOW. Contractor to verify existing conditions.

a. Note: The existing Siemens Symbia Evo Nuc Med (Gamma Camera) equipment and ancillary weight in the suite is approximately 9,000 lbs and the proposed Siemens Symbia SpecCT equipment and ancillaries’ weight is approximately 14,000 lbs. This will require design and possible structural mods below the suite.

Answer: The floor capacity has been previously evaluated by a structural PE and was determined to support the new equipment.

10. Considering structural mods and below floor electrical work will be likely, can the facility provide Architectural floor plans and MEP drawings of the space directly below the proposed SpecCT location?

Answer: See Appendix A in revised SOW. Contractor to verify existing conditions.

a. Note 10 in the drawings refer to wall protection on 3 walls of room L254C and room L254. Please clarify the meaning of this note and the boundaries of application in room L254.

a. (The scope says in 2.1.6 that the DB is to install all new flooring in L254C and L254 D but the drawings in note 6 say to patch or replace floor finish…which is correct?)

Answer: All new flooring is not required. Patch and repair only.
