RFI Responses & Clarifications

1. Any chance a second site visit can be scheduled? This has been requested by several subcontractors who were unable to make it to the first site visit. Response: Yes. Date: August 30, 2019. Time: 9:00 A.M. (EST). Ronde Vue Location: Bldg. 410 (Lobby). POC: Ravi Wani – VA project Engineer/COR -(937) 268-6511 Ext. 5402.

2. Letter “M” under the Demolition General Notes states to remove all terrazzo base, flooring and built up subfloor down to the structural slab. The demolition drawings do not call out any specific areas that have terrazzo flooring. Can these locations be marked on the drawings? Response: Terrazzo is located at the base of all the existing walls on the 1st and 2nd floors.

3. It appears that the 1st floor has been recently renovated - is there terrazzo under the flooring here? Response: The terrazzo located at the 1st floor hallway is still present, but floor leveling compound has been used to manage the height difference between the concrete floor and the raised edge of the terrazzo.

4. Is there terrazzo base behind the new walls/flooring on the 1st floor? Response: Terrazzo is located at the base of all the existing walls on the 1st floors.

5. Are the corridor and room partition walls on the 1st floor plaster and lath, or drywall? Response: Plaster and Lath

6. 085113, 2.3 - "Owner will furnish 17 windows and Historic replacement brick mold frames for contractor installation. New windows to match Owner’s windows in size, shape, material, profile, and performance." Would like clarification here, does this mean these 17 windows are already in place? Response: The 17 windows are in storage. VA to provide location.

7. If the 17 windows above are not yet installed we would like to submit the Kawneer/Traco 8410TL fixed window for approval, please provide substitution form if this would be possible. Response: Windows are required to match existing. Any substitutions will require OHPO approval.

8. The specs call out for Manual Roller shades, but I do not see any locations called out on the drawings. Please specify which windows will have the roller shades. Response: Provide roller shades at all windows on the first & second floors of the East wing. Rooms EW-141 thru EW-158 and EW-262 thru EW-280

9. Are we to assume that the previously renovated flooring was installed over old asbestos containing flooring throughout the 1st and 2nd floors? During our walk-thru I did see areas of new flooring over old. Please advise. Response: Reference the specifications and test report for ACM Locations. New flooring may be installed over old ACM flooring.

10. REGARDING THE FLOOR TILE ON THE 2nd FLOOR: Specifications section 02 82 11, page 3 notes a quantity of 4,810sf of asbestos floor tile and mastic. It says it is in the hallway, patient rooms and toilet rooms. That does not match the architectural drawing AD102 which only shows it in the patient room and toilet rooms, not the hallway. Is there asbestos floor tile in the hallway? Please clarify/advise. Response: Refer to the testing Agencies report and Sampling locations for areas to be abated.
