RFI 0002

1. What action, supervision, and security measures need to be coordinated and put in place once cages are demoed and IT towers are unsecure?

RESPONSE: Any areas where the cages have been demoed need to be locked so that only IT and Engineering have access. The only place this may be a problem is Bldg. 7 in FW. The “cage” is a spot on the wall next to the back door. A155-1-F cannot have the door propped open on either side if the cage has been removed from the IT gear. The cage on the second floor may also be a problem because it is in a break room that the lab staff have access to until the new walls are put up. I believe the rest of the cages are in basement or closet areas that already have limited access.

2. Drawing 1.MH100, The new heating hot water supply & return piping has no size indicated. Please indicate sizes. The new suction & liquid refrigeration piping are not sized. Please indicate sizes.

RESPONSE: Contractor to field verify existing Refrigerant, HWS and HWR piping and match existing size for new routing.

3. Specifications Division 23: There is no insulation specs for the refrigeration suction or liquid piping. Please provide. There is no insulation specs for the condensate drain piping. Please provide.
