Questions and Answers

· Spec section 01 35 26 states that the SSHO is to be separate from the project superintendent. On this type and size of project, is a separate SSHO necessary?

· It is authorized that the Superintendent can also be the SSHO.

· In Box 10 of the solicitation, last paragraph, line 2, "the project will also make repairs the elevator in the ED". Can you please clarify what is meant by this statement? Are there specific repairs to the elevators that need to be included in this bid?

· The repairs mentioned were completed under a separate project. No work outside what is outlined in the specs and drawings is expected of the contractor.

· In Box 10 of the solicitation, last paragraph line 2 & 3, it reads "It will also upgrade the pneumatic tube system as needed to include the diverters and blower which can no longer be supported with their current parts and is approaching the end of its life." There is no mention of pneumatic tube systems in the provided drawings or specifications. Can you please clarify what is being asked of the contractor in this statement?

· Similar to answer above. The pneumatic tube system is no longer in the scope of the project to “Upgrade Elevators.”

· Section 09 65 19 - 3.2C refers contractors to section 02 82 13.19, Asbestos Floor Tile and Mastic Abatement of the specification for removal of flooring and adhesive containing asbestos. This section is not included in the specifications. Please provide.

· Spec Section 09 65 19 – 3.2 should only have one (1) bullet point stating: “1. Remove existing resilient floor and existing adhesive.” Any reference to asbestos can be removed. The specs have been updated accordingly.
