1. VA revision Edit Sheet AE101B Room 30650, Dishwasher Answer: Delete the dishwasher from the staff breakroom (30650), provide cabinet with doors.

2. Ref Q&A #27- What is the thickness of the underlayment that is to be removed? Does the entire 3rd floor require underlayment removal and a new self-level floor infill throughout the space? Or just her areas designated with keynote D2.1 & D2.2 on drawing AD102?

The general demolition note 2 on drawing AS102 indicates to remove existing construction on the floor to expose the structural floor slab. Keynote D2.1 & D2.2 are not shown in all rooms therefore what areas require underlayment removal? How thick is it? What type of material is required to infill the areas of underlayment removal? Is a 0 to 1” self-level underlayment required or is the area more than 1” and require 3/8” pea-gravel added to the mix?

Answer: The topping appears to be 1”, and it should be removed where noted on the plans. If it becomes damaged by demolition in other area. See attached drawing for reference. Attachment 1.

3. Amendment 3 had questions 1-13 included, then amendment 4 had 8 added questions, bringing the total to 21 questions and answers provided. Amendment 6 provides more questions / Answers, but started at #23. Was there a Question #22? If so can you please provide the question and the answer?

Answer: Question 4 of the 2nd Set of RFIs actually combined two separate questions (17 and 18). There should have been 9 questions in the 2nd set for a total of 22.

Costs related to this cooperation should be included in the lump sum.
