Add Fall Deterrent to Parking Garage RFI Questions & Answers

1. Can you include details of the lightning protection – they will need to add cabling and attach to the top of the fence posts. Include a detail of the connection of the existing rods.

ANSWER: Lightning protection details are shown in Details 4/AS600 and 5/AS600. Minimal new cabling is required since the existing cable is attached to the base of the fence posts in similar locations to where it already exists.

0. From detail 5/AS600, the lightning rod is extended to the top of the fencing. This requires additional cabling for the system.

ANSWER: The rod attaches to the top. The fence post acts as the conductor as the cable is attached to the base. No cabling is required to go up the post.

1. Also, can you include a detail of the fencing along the stairs at the SW corner. Are they to attach the fence outside of railings, attached to the steel stair beams/bracing?

ANSWER: Per notes on Elevation 1/AS300, a new HSS12x6x1/2 column is to be placed on top of column E-3 with a HSS12x6x1/2 beam spanning from the new column over to the concrete column at E-4. The new fencing is outside of the railings and the new steel column and beam are to be braced to the existing stair structure with HSS6x6x5/16 members.

1. All cabling is to remain. The only demo/reinstall is the lightning rods. Is this correct?

ANSWER: Correct
