AMENDMENT 0007

January 31, 2025

Project: 585-21-115 Replace Boiler Plant

AMENDMENT 0007 hereby incorporates the following clarifications/change(s) into the solicitation package:

A. Vendor Questions

Question 8c, received 1/3/2025:

Will an electromechanical Autogate brand operator be acceptable?

Also, the drawings show an optional gate panel attached to the crash arm – is this gate panel required, or will a drop beam alone be acceptable?

The Autogate Shield Barrier is allows for a 17’ max opening with a gate panel and 19’ without a gate panel with beam only.

In addition, the DOD vehicle barrier list remarks show this product is approved at a 15’ length. If we were to use two of these gates to cover a wider opening, there would be stanchions required in the middle of the driveway.

Will this be acceptable or are looking for a 34’ clear opening?

VA REPLY: Electric or hydraulic is acceptable, PROVIDED it does not exceed available power per the original design.

Autogate brand operator is acceptable IF it complies with specified salient characteristics.

Gate shall be 24’. Gate shown is not basis of design and is only an example picture. The "Optional gate" shown on the drawings is not required. Only the ram-resistant drop arm is required. Requirements are found in the DOD ANTI-RAM VEHICLE BARRIER LIST, September 2024 "Item: M30 P1 Model 773 Series Drop Arm Barrier."

Question 12, received 1/8/2025:

VA REPLY: A. Yes, The precast concrete sections for the tunnel construction fall under section 34100. The erector is bound by the requirements outlined in the specification section.

Questions 17, received 1/13/2025

17.73 “Siesmic Requirements: The RFP and drawings note that seismic requirements are not anticipated for this site location as noted in 00 31 32. Can you confirm this project does not specific seismic requirements as there is no spec section 13 00 00 ? And that only requirments needed will be addressed on the drawings and noted in specs specific?”

VA REPLY: Seismic restraints are not required on the non-structural components as would be outlined in specification section 13 05 41. All requirements are outlined in the released construction documents.

VA REPLY: All Exterior windows are to be blast resistant. Refer to Specification Section 08 56 53 Blast Resistant Windows as well as 08 80 00 - Glazing, Paragraph 3.12 for glazing requirements specific to exterior windows.
