The purpose of this amendment is to provide RFI Responses. Please see the attachment (ASI - 3) for additional guidance.

All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.

RFI Responses (cumulative) Question: In the access floor spec it referred to spec section 26 05 26 for grounding. There is no grounding spec for access floor. Please provide a grounding detail for access floor.

Response: Raised floor should be bonded to electrical system as per NEC requirements.

Question: In regard to the raised access flooring: The specs call for an aluminum panel and Tate Access Floors no longer makes an aluminum system. They are more than double the cost and not as strong as the concrete filled panels. Can we bid a concrete panel system?

Also, the specs call for carpet and we usually bid a bare panel - carpet to be installed by others.

Response: Please refer to attachment ASI-2, included with this amendment.

Question: Division 27 specifications are not provided. Are we to include rough-in only?

Response: See attached Spec Sections 270511, 270526, 270533, 271000, 271500.

Question: If we are to provide data/voice, where is the existing IDF/MDF that data/voice cables are to route to?

Response: The data closet is located in A-2147. (See attached drawing entitled “Drawing for Data Closet Location”)

Question: If we are to provide data/voice, how many data/voice cables does each communications outlet require?

Response: See attached Data Outlet Detail.

Question: Do TV locations require RG6 coax cable, or data/voice cable, or both?

Response: Both RG6 coax cable and data/voice cable are needed.

Question: In regard to access floor RFI question and responses: The NEC does not provide wire size for raised access floor systems.

What wire size is required and does each pedestal need grounded or is one connection point to floor system good? Please provide grounding detail.

Response: It has been determined that grounding/bonding is not necessary for the raised access floor system. See ASI – 3 (attached) See attached document: ASI - 3.
