About this file
This is a Request for Information (RFI) #40 submitted by Valiant Construction, LLC regarding Project #610-20-103 "Renovate Building 16" at the Department of Veterans Affairs facility in Marion, IN. The RFI, dated January 13, 2025, seeks clarification about ceiling demolition specifications referenced in drawing AD902.
The contractor specifically questioned whether keynote 2 on drawings AD901-AD903 requires demolition of existing gypsum/plaster finish at the underside of floor structure, or if demolition is limited to secondary acoustical ceiling tile and grid only. Viridian Architectural Design, Inc. responded on January 23, 2025, clarifying that all gypsum and plaster must be removed entirely to expose the existing concrete substrate throughout the building. The RFI required a response by January 20, 2025, and was addressed to Christopher C. Lee, Contracting Officer at the Department of Veterans Affairs in Indianapolis.
