QUESTION AND ANSWER 1

Q1: Each Elevator Machine Room has a material hatch on the floor, where do those hatches open to in the interstitial space below and is there a hatch in the interstitial spaces below the machine rooms that continue to the top floor of the building? If not is there a clear path in and out of the interstitial space to an elevator to move equipment in and out of the building?

A1: The hatch allows access into the interstitial space below - there is access from the elevator to the interstitial space and then up through the hatch - Contractor to coordinate with COR for exact path during construction. Additionally, see the attached pictures for reference.

QUESTION AND ANSWER 2

Q2: During the site visit it was mentioned that disruptive work would need to be performed after normal working hours. Can the VA define how many decibels they consider to be disruptive so that we can plan for and price after hours work accordingly?

A2: Repetitive impact noise on the property shall not exceed the following dB limitations:

Time Duration of Impact Noise Sound Level in dB More than 12 minutes in any hour 70 Less than 30 seconds of any hour 85 Less than three minutes of any hour 80 Less than 12 minutes of any hour 75

However, the VA has the right to stop work in the area when the noise is disrupting patient care. Contractor shall provide notification of any anticipated noise so that proper VA personnel can be notified.

QUESTION AND ANSWER 3

Q3: The Proposal Documents are not altered or laid out for the two (2) alternates that are required by the drawings?

A3: There are no Bid Deduct Alternates for this Solicitation. See page 1, Section 10, para 2 which states in part: "The drawings and specifications for this project contain references to deducted work. All references to deducted work are to be ignored.”
