5. Will a schedule for work (DATES AND TIMES) be provided with the JBVAMC?

ANSWER: YES, work will be scheduled and approved by the Chief of Engineering so not to interfere with Hospital Business or delay work.

ANSWER: YES, work will be scheduled and approved by the Chief of Engineering so not to interfere with Hospital Business or delay work.

11. Do all UST openings on the concrete surface need to be removed and concrete patched? Typically, on abandonments like this; we just use one of the openings, saw cut a 3’ x 3’ square, hand dig to the top of tank, open, clean, fill, and patch concrete all from same opening. There is no reason per OSFM guidelines to remove the other openings in the concrete.

ANSWER: OSFM compliance is required. Demolition and construction will be scheduled and plan to perform Demolition will be reviewed and approved by the Chief of Engineering. All demolition and resurfacing should be planned and bid so as to not damage the least amount existing pavement and utilities beneath pavement.
