IV. The following Questions and Answers / Clarifications are the result of bidders request(s) for information:

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

Q 93. Question / Answer #20 says an area for trailer / storage is TBD- Understand and OK. But then Question / Answer #22 requires the GC to include a site fence around the trailer and staging area. How are we to figure a cost for the fence when there is nothing identified? Can the VA provide a QTY of fencing to be included?

A93. 8’ high, to enclose an area of 20’ x 25’. Number of gates up to GC

Q94. Question / Answer #81 appears to be incomplete. The answer seems to be cut off mid-sentence. Can the balance of the answer be provided.

A 94. “Q81. A number of the wall types on sheet AE002 call out the security mesh as welded at 6” OC. Can a mechanical fastener be used to make the connection? Most trade specific framers do not carry a welding technician to complete this. Please advise if a Mechanical Fastener system can be used. A81.No, the VA Physical Security Design Manual requires these walls to have the security mesh installed by spot welding at 6” o.c. – this is a physical security requirement.”

Q95. Question / Answer #53 states that work in the basement to be coordinated with work above. In further review of the PD100 & PD101 key Note #1 refers to holes to be patched per detail #4 on PP600. Plan Page PP600 does not contain a detail #4. It only has Details #1 and #2. If there is a detail #3 and #4 – can these be provided, please?

A95. Reference detail 5/AE110 INFILL CONCRETE SLAB DETAIL in ATTACH 4 and PD100, PD101 ATTACH 19

Q 96. Question / Answer #69 – clarifies that the frames for the sliding doors are to be Aluminum. Yet the door schedule still calls from Frame Type “ES” is to be painted? Please advise if these Aluminum frames are to be painted or if they are to be anodized. If so please advise of color – clear / bronze / other?

A96. Frames are to be Clear Anodized.

Q97. Question / Answer #72 – Confirm that the General Contractor is to carry the costs for the “Basis of Design” Furniture in their bid per the ATTACH 18. As no specification was provided.

A97. Yes, the GC is to provide the furniture listed in the ATTACH 18. No additional information will be provided at this time.

Q98. Question / Answer #9 – Indicates that the contractor is to provide and install expansion joints at floors and ceiling. These are not shown on the floor plans (A100, A100.A and A100.B) or on the reflected ceiling plan (A110, A110.A and A110.B). Please advise as to the extend of the need expansion joints by showing on the floor / ceiling plans for clarity.

A98. Refer to updated drawings AE100, AE100.A, AE100.B, AE110, AE110.A, AE110.B, and EL101 for expansion joint cover locations.

Q 99. On Plan Page QH100 (per Amendment 6) the equipment schedule now calls for M0515 & M1000 (Televisions) to be supplied and Installed by the contractor. A few questions with this item Q99a. There is no specification for Televisions. Please advise what these are to be? Size, Grade, Etc – Please provide Basis of Design / specification.

A99a. Hospital Grade Samsung model QM43R-B.

Q99b. There do not appear to be any Televisions M1000 on the drawings – please confirm this is the case.

A99b. Correct, Bid per Construction Documents

Q99c. Are the M0515 TV to be wall mounted? Are these mounts to be included by the contractor?

A99c. Yes

Q99d. Also, on Plan Page QH100 (Amendment 6) a few items have changed to VA furnished / Contractor installed.

Q99d.1.F2017 – Waste Receptacle – These appear to be free standing – Please advise, what the VA will be providing A99d.1. See revised Responsible Party Legend in ATTACH 19 Q99d.2. F2310 – Rack, Pamphlet – There do not appear to be any of these. Please confirm A99d.2. See detail 12/AI200 in Bid Documents ATTACH 5

Q99d.3 F2550 – Paper Shredder, Heavy Duty – This appears to be located in the VCS office 1465. This appears to be free standing. Please advise what the VA is providing. Does this require any electrical as there does not appear to be a outlet in the area this is being placed? Does this require a direct electrical connection or does it come with a furnished cord to be plugged into an outlet?

A99d.3. See revised Responsible Party Legend, in ATTACH 19

Q100. During the walkthrough, a considerable amount of the existing waste and vent pipe throughout this area is PVC sch. 40 pipe and fittings. Since this is not a plenum can PVC sch. 40 be used for this new project? Spec sheet 22 13 00 -6 item 2 only notes cast iron or copper DWV tube only. Would be a considerable savings.

A100. PVC Schedule 40 pipe is acceptable.

Q101. Plan page reference is PP401. It looks like some of the size is mislabeled? We do not think you are allowed to upsize the piping after the connection is made. Please request clarification on this.

A101. See revised Plan Page PP401 in ATTACH 19

Q102. Does the project require 3 separate individuals for each role of SSHO, QC Manager and Site Superintendent? If so, are all 3 individuals required to be onsite full time?

A102. No, the project does not require three separate individuals. However, an individual cannot be responsible for more than two roles.
