Additional Questions for Project 675-503, Construct Primary Care and Women’s Health Clinic, Solicitation 36C25523R0084, Amendment 0003

1. Clarification on the Aluminum-framed entrances and storefronts, section 08 41 13. Where the Basis of Design is listed there is another section number listed that does not exist in this spec book. What is the the basis of design for this project?

Answer: It appears the basis of design is not correct in the specification section 084113 since the intent was to refer them to the finishes Specification 090600 but this Specification was not utilized on this project. However, the Specified Finish for the Aluminum Storefront is defined in paragraph/section 2.8 of the spec, therefore the contractor shall refer to that section (shown below).

2.8 FINISHES

Aluminum Anodized Finish: NAAMM AMP 500.

Clear Anodized Finish: AAC22A41; Class I Architectural, 0.018 mm (0.7 mil) thick.

2. Text of RFI #58:

Deductive Bid Item II calls for shell space as referred to drawings for area of shell space. This is written text description only. The RFP drawings sets do not include, or we can't find a shell line of demarcation. We have multiple of trade partners in the HVAC, Plumbing, Interiors, and electrical scopes calling and asking us how to price the shell space deduct. It calls to shell the women's area. Where is this area? What rooms/areas are to be shell space? This is so critical to define the area in the building that will become shell space if the bid alternate is accepted. It touches all sections of the specs. If we attempt to define the shell space area, it will most likely not comply to the VA needs of the RFP and price budget. All prime GCs and subs are going to view that so differently that it will be difficult for the VA to understand the pricing schedule. Can you provide drawings that explicitly show and illustrates the bid item for shell space?

RFI #58 Response:

Refer to drawing GI102 for hatched area of Women’s Health shell space.

3.Text of RFI #59:

There are continued questions on the room finish schedule where our trades are having a difficult time understanding for pricing.

Here are questions on room finish:

(1) The Room Finish Schedule on AI601 calls for CPT-1 and the Floor Finish Plan on AI102 calls for CPT-1, but the Finish Schedule/Legend on AI601 does not list CPT-1 nor is there a Carpet Specification in the spec book.

(2) The Finish Schedule calls for both ceramic wall tile PT2 and paint in the bathrooms. There are some bathrooms that don't show

0. elevations for all walls:101, 102, 160, & 161. Is the ceramic wall tile wainscot to be on all walls or only the walls shown?

RFI #59 Response:

1. This is a walk off carpet in this area. Manufacturer: Milliken or Equal to. Size: 24” x 24” Tile. Style & Color: Obex Tile – Strum-SMC27-173 Grey.

1. Ceramic tile wainscot is a typical and should be in all restrooms.

4. Text RFI 60: There are no materials listed for countertops from Men's 102, Womens 101, Soiled utiltiy 120, the typical exam room, and typical procedure room. Can you provide the material information for the countertops so we know how to price?

RFI #60 Response:

Please reference room finish schedule on sheet AI106 for all room finishes.

Countertop information: Women’s Clinic – Formica or equal: White Spex 931; Primary Care – Wilsonart or equal: Avalanche Melange 9165ML.
