RFI Questions and Answers

1. Please identify the ICRA classifications, and requirements for this project.

a. See attached signed ICRA form establishing this project as Level III. This project is also subject to all requirements for asbestos abatement according to local, state, and federal regulations per the specifications, also attached.

2. Can the contractor build off of the existing platform, or should the permanent access be completely separate from the existing platform.

a. The new platform can be erected off the existing platform so long as access to the existing platform and ladders are not impeded.

3. Are there any existing drawings of the pipe that is being replaced? As-Builts?

a. See attachment "1-H8_HvacPlnBdlg1ScndFlrB - Replace Degraded Hot

Water Piping" for the original drawing.

4. What size pipe is the riser line?

a. Refer to the original drawing attached that details the riser pipes as either 2" or 2-1/2" within the mechanical chase. The contractor should plan for either condition, but it should not be expected that original drawings are 100% accurate.

5. Will contractors have access to a freight elevator to get material to the project area?

a. Yes, contractors will have access to the C-wing staff freight elevator.

6. Please confirm that all work shall be completed during the weekend? Including the abatement and building of the temp or permanent access.

a. The hot water shutdown and piping replacement is expected to be performed on the weekend. The contractor will be able to set an infection control barrier and asbestos containment earlier in the week during normal work hours to complete platform erection and asbestos abatement before shutdown on a Saturday.

7. Please indicate where and the limits of the permanent platform shall be, or is the permanent platform for valve access only?

a. The permanent platform will be for valve access only. If the permanent platform bid option is selected, it is expected that the platform that is erected to perform this work will remain after the work is completed and require no alterations.

8. Please indicate if the contractor is responsible for flushing the hot water supply and return after new pipe is installed.

a. System flushing will not be required. The VA plumbing shop will refill the system with hot water after the pipe is replaced. This is heating hot water and is not potable.

9. Please indicate any required testing after the new pipe is installed.

a. Per the above, the VA will refill the system, but the contractor shall remain on site during this time to verify the installation is leak free and no additional issues are present in the installation.

10. Are there any specific tolerances or detailed specifications for the piping connections?

a. See attachment "583-25-518 Replace Degraded Hot Water Piping -

Combined Specifications" for the detailed construction specifications for this project. Note mechanical press connections are not allowed per VA specification.
