Answer: No. VA will train on all VA provided/contractor installed equipment.

10. Are 20 mil studs acceptable?

Answer: The proposed ClarkDietrich 70 ksi G40EQ studs are acceptable.

11. On Sheet AS601, the wall types for smoke and fire rated partitions indicate 3" mineral fiber (mineral wool type) for acoustical insulation. For thermal insulation the notes indicate batt insulation, and the acoustical walls that are not smoke or fire rated indicate batt insulation. Is the insulation noted as batt insulation not mineral fiber (mineral wool)? Also, is glass fiber (fiberglass insulation) acceptable at the areas noted as batt insulation? Is the thermal and acoustical insulation at the VA was typically mineral fiber (mineral wool type)? There is a significant difference between mineral wool and fiberglass insulation.

Answer: Specification 07 21 13 for insulation allows only Mineral Fiber for semi-rigid, batt, and blanket insulation.

13. Are we to go by the spec supplied or the most current VA spec for Div. 27?

Answer: The specification in the solicitation is sufficient as the revisions in most current version do not effect this project. Please use the specification in the solicitation.
