AD902 keynote 1 mentions the demolition of existing ceiling tile and grid “including secondary ceiling in their entirety”. Numerous pictures of existing ceilings on pages AD901 and AD902 show the secondary acoustical ceiling grid. However, the underside of the existing floor structure at every level appears to have gypsum or plaster ceiling. Please confirm that keynote 2 on AD901-AD903 does not imply to demolish existing gypsum/plaster finish at the underside of floor structure, but instead is limited to the demolition of secondary acoustical ceiling tile and grid only.

During our jobwalk, we identified that the existing gypsum/plastered ceiling below floor structures has numerous damaged/unrepaired areas. This condition varies from floor to floor, but it appears that the ceiling in the basement had sheathing missing, with bare rusted metal framing only remaining. Plus, numerous areas exhibited signs of past water intrusion/damage. Please quantify the extent of repair of existing subfloor finishes, specify an allowance for all GCs to include, or confirm to exclude repairs of existing gypsum/plaster finish at the underside of floor structures.

IN COMPLIANCE WITH GENERAL DEMOLITION NOTES #1, WORK SHALL BE ACCOMPLISHED SUCH THAT FINISHED CAN BE INSTALLED AS INDICATED. IF IT IS DETERMINED THAT WATER INTRUSION DOES NOT PERMIT WORK TO BE DONE IS A PROPER MANNER TO ACCEPT NEW FINISHES, CONTRACTOR SHALL IMMEDICATELY CONTACT VA COR TO DETERMINE ACCEPTABLE COURSE OF ACTION.

ALLOWANCES ARE NOT PART OF THE PROJECT. CONTRACTOR IS TO BID WORST CASE, MEANS & METHODS SENARIOS.
