Response to RFI from Hernandez Consulting and Construction April 2, 2018
| 1. | Will the government accept the use of the industry leading Procore Project Management software as the primary submittal and data tracking tool for this project? The software is compatible with the VA’s networks and is currently in use at many VA locations. We prefer Microsoft Project 10 as required in 01 32 16.15, 1.1A. |
| 2. | Will the fire sprinkler system and/or the fire alarm system need to be disrupted during construction? If yes, what if any additional security measures will the government require e.g. fire watch, temporary fire alarms, adjustments to sprinkler heads, etc. Yes, adjustments will be required when the ceiling is removed longer than 24 hours. Either the sprinkler heads must be adjusted or heat detectors must be placed. Temporary fire alarms will need to be installed. |
| 3. | During demolition and while ceiling grids are out, will the fire sprinkler heads have to be turned upside down an/or reach a certain distance from the roof deck to follow Codes NFPA 13 or will other NFPA code apply ex. 241? Yes, the sprinkler heads can be mounted on whips to meet the distance from the ceiling specified in the code. |
| 4. | Who is responsible for the utility locations? The contractor |
| 5. | Due to current potentially significant tariffs being placed on the importation of building materials such as wood or steel by the current Presidential Executive Branch, if a tariff is placed after bid time and before award will the government consider a price escalation on a contract value for products such as steel or wood should the executive branch levee tariffs effecting such materials? Most of these materials would still have been Buy American compliant as the tariffs would increase pricing on all steel or wood materials, regardless of origin. This is a question we cannot answer preemptively. We may negotiate a post-award price increase if the costs increase dramatically. |
| 6. | Going through the solicitation and plans from the last time the project bid and the documents released this time the plans doesn’t seem like they were revised, can you confirm? The contractor should bid from the latest documents sent |

| 11. | Is there currently a sprinkler system in the cavity above the ceiling grid? No |
| 12. | Will a cavity Sprinkler system be required? Not if the ceiling is removed and the sprinkler heads are located the proper distance from the roof deck. |
| 13. | Does the existing roof have a warranty? No |
| 14. | What 5 reports are being required monthly with the loaded CMP? All reports required in the specifications will be required. Look under spec. 01 32 16 15 para. 1.4. Computer Produced Schedules? |
| 15. | What Davis bacon issue is used for this project labor? We always use the most current one which is already indicated in the solicitation. It may change before closing if a new one is issued. |
| 16. | In the North-West Corridor from the new ED, where utilities must be connected to existing, what type of ceiling removal will be acceptable; and due to narrow width; will night work and after-hours work be required?
