Questions and Answers:

Will updated “as built” showing location of FD/FSD/SD be provided?

As-built drawings will be provided for each damper. The accuracy of the as-builts can not be guaranteed.

Will ICRA requirements be met by using “containment carts” for all work in hallways?

Containment carts will be required in hallways next to patient areas and other hallways where more than one ceiling tile must be removed to perform the work.

Is our proposal to be based on all work during “normal business hours” or can a quantity of FD/FSD/SD that will need to be done after these hours be provided?

All work cannot be accomplished during normal hours. Proposals should include an estimated fifty (50) dampers to be corrected after hours or during weekends.

Is a full time “non-working” superintendent to be provided by the awarded contractor?

The prime contractor shall provide a minimum of one full-time Site Safety and Health Officer (SSHO). The SSHO may fill other roles such as the subcontractor's superintendent, but not the role of prime contractor's superintendent. Please refer to Section 1.9 in the 01 35 26 Safety Requirements specification.

If required, can AHU shutdowns be during “normal business hours” or will the associated FD/FSD/SD work be performed after these hours?

AHU shutdowns for critical services shall be performed after hours during the week, or during weekends.

Shutdowns for non-critical services can be performed during normal hours.
