SPECIFICATIONS TO BE REMOVED:

1. Specification 03 07 60 FRP Concrete (added by Amendment 00002)

2. Specification 03 30 53 Cast in Place Concrete (added by Amendment 00002) SPECIFICATIONS TO BE ADDED BY AMENDMENT (attached):

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) RESPONSES

The following questions and answers provide clarification to the contract documents:

36C252-18-R-0104 Construction MATOC – Clement J. Zablocki VAMC, Milwaukee, WI Contractor Requests for Information

45. Follow on RFI to the response provided for RFI #44 of Amendment 00003: I think the intent of the VA is to add a fiber additive to the concrete mix for reinforcement and not use the product specified in the spec section 03 07 60 FRP concrete. The product specified in 03 07 60 is a specialized concrete procedure used for reinforcing concrete prior to cutting in an opening to prevent cracking in the corners such as roof openings thru concrete roof decks. It is very expensive and only a few companies perform this work. There are other applications for this product but don’t think the VA would prefer this for a simple equipment pad. Restating the 3.2 Reinforcement in spec section 03 30 53 – (Short Form) Cast-In-Place Concrete (Issued in Amendment 2) to read “Fiber additive to be used as reinforcement” is what the VA is looking for. Please advise.

Response: Provide fiber additive to the concrete mix for reinforcement per specification 03 30 00 Cast-in-Place Concrete. Specification sections 03 07 60 FRP concrete and 03 30 53 (Short-Form) Cast-in-Place Concrete are hereby removed and replaced with 03 30 00 Cast-in-Place Concrete.
