RFI 01

Question 1: Please confirm that the project engineer will provide the MAU curb support steel detail.

Answer 1 - AE Reply: A detail indicating any required supplemental steel framing will be provided via Addendum.

Question 2: Draft damper will not fit as shown on the drawing (referencing the attached IMG_3010.JPG, cannot confirm that all are the same condition without site visit). Potential solution:

Move damper closer to wye (pending there is enough clearance). Please advise.

Answer 2 - AE Reply: Please refer to the original equipment manufacturer's (OEM) shop drawing of the breeching system which is included with this RFI response. Coordinate the available space and reconfiguration of sections to accommodate the damper. The damper may be placed in front or or behind the existing FM economizer.

Question 3: Please provide manufacturer, or tag, for current boiler breeching.

Answer 3 - AE Reply: Refer to response to RFI-01-02

Question 4: Who is responsible for the roofing?

Answer 4 - AE Reply: The Contractor is responsible for providing labor and material for flashing and weatherproofing the installation of the roof curbs, vents, and any other roof penetrations shown on the drawings.

Question 5: Is the current roof under warranty? If so, who holds the warranty?

Answer 5 - AE Reply: The existing roof was installed in 1995 and no longer has a warranty.

Question 6: The “Instrument Description Table” on M-001 is incomplete. Please provide a complete table that identifies the devices shown on MD-703 and MI-703.

Answer 6 - AE Reply : The "Instrument Description Table" is complete and is the standard International Society of

Automation (ISA) instrument table available in ISA S5.1 "Instrument Symbols and Identification" .

The device call-outs are represented by the different columns of the table. For example, FSV is Flow Safety Valve, ZSC is Position Switch Closed, and GG is Gauge Glass. The first and second letters are generally the first two columns and the remaining letters are the following columns.

Question 7: Are all the instrumentation devices shown on drawing MD-703 with note “Demolish to Point Indicated” to be completely demolished and discarded? Are all the instrumentation devices on MI-703 with “Connect to Existing” symbols next to them to be with new devices?

Answer 7 - AE Reply: The diamond symbol with the B designator is a Burner Management System (BMS) interlock/connection.

Refer to the "Controls Legend" table on M-001. The scope of work this is defining is removal of the connection to a device (MD-703) and reconnection/new connection to a device (MI-703) with the BMS. The project includes demolishing of the existing BMS and provision of a new BMS. Each and every device, new or existing, will require reconnection to the

BMS as indicated. The new devices are represented by the bold and dark device symbol and the existing devices are represented by the light device symbols.
