***IMPORTANT BIDDER INFORMATION***

RFI Due date is extended to Monday, August 10th, 2020.

New Bid Open time is Thursday, August 20th at 11:00am EST.

RFI Responses:

1. Question: Spec section 085113 indicates basis of design as EFCO. We would prefer using a substitute. It does not say anything about substitutes. Please advise.

Answer: Approved equals will be evaluated if the product matches the quality and performance of the Basis of Design product.

2. Question: The EFCO series 510-I is a projected window. On sheet A1600 the window type looks like a fixed and not a projected.

Answer: If it is a projected window, is it a project “in” or a project “Out” – window projection direction to be verified in field.

3. Question: The finish for the window indicates to refer to section 090600 Schedule for

Finishes. When we go to that section it does not indicate a specific finish or color for these windows. Please advise finish

Answer: alum. window finish to match existing, including frame and glass type; contractor to verify in field.

4. Question: Ref specification 01 35 26, 1.7 D and spec 01 45 00, 3.4 A & B- Based on specifications a SSHO and QC manager are required to be onsite full time and need to be separate individuals. The CQC manager can have dual roles as the site superintendent but is required to be a graduate of engineering, architecture or construction management. My interpretation of the spec appears 2 full time managers are required at minimum and 3 full time managers are required if the superintendent does not have a degree in engineering, architecture or construction management.

Please confirm my interpretation is correct as the spec appears overwritten for project of this size.

Answer: this can be a single person under the Prime Contractor who serves as site supervisor, safety officer, and quality control. This person should be competent and have the required 30 hrs. OSHA training

5. Question: Ref drawing AI600- detail 4 and 6 call out foam in place insulation. No further details appear on wall type drawing GI003, 1st floor plan AE101 and no specification provided. Will foam in place insulation be required, and if so, will further details and specifications be provided?

Answer: foam in place insulation only at exterior wall conditions and window in-fill location.

6. Question: Ref drawing AE001- will specifications be provided for concrete floor infills?

Answer: See attached spec section 033000.

7. Question: Ref drawing AI401B- Is wall blocking be required for equipment and bumper guard/handrail in wall cavities where walls and finishes are to remain?

Answer: where existing handrails are already installed, blocking will not be required. Where we call for new handrail to be installed, blocking will need to be installed. Provide fire treated blocking where new blocking is installed.

8. Question: There are no cabinet manufactures listed. Will a division 6400 specification for millwork be provided?

Answer: Refer to issued specification 12 32 00 – Manufactured Wood Casework
