VA REPLY: Revise to minimum .9m/s (2.9f/s) for flushing. System pumps may be used for this flushing and cleaning.

1. On page A102-2 of the plan set there appears to be no door hardware called out. Please provide door hardware schedule.

VA REPLY: Reuse existing door hardware. Prep new hollow metal door and frame to accommodate existing hardware. Reference Demolition Plan Keyed Note K. for reuse of existing electric strike, door position switch, and card reader. Replace any individual hardware item if not compatible for reuse with new door and frame.

1. Please provide as-built drawings showing the actual route of the existing duct bank seen in red on the screenshot below from drawing E101-2.

VA REPLY: The drop locations are identified on the plans, for bidding purpose, utilize the 250-foot cable distance listed in New Work Plan Keyed Note 1/E103-2.

3. Could as-builts of patch panel locations (referenced on page E103-2, Keyed note 1) be provided? We need to understand where each data drop connects to each panel (ex: Riser diagram) to be able to estimate length of cable.
