1. RFI #65. Can the morgue be shut down during construction? Providing temp cooling for that area to the degree required will be between difficult and impossible. If the shutdown is not possible, can you please provide clarification on how temp cooling for that area is to be accomplished so we can properly price this scope? Including the size and placement of temp unit/units that will achieve the appropriate temperatures?

Contractor to provide temporary mobile cooler during downtime of the Morgue. Temporary mobile cooler can be a box truck with cooler; to be parked in the building 1 Dock area for the 2-3 weeks it takes to replace the Morgue HVAC. This way the VA does not have to go on diversion.

1. RFI #70. Sizing the temp units based on a preconstruction TAB report will not enable us to provide the proper pricing for our scope of work. This information needs to be available for us to include the correct pricing at the time of our bid…not after we are awarded the project. Otherwise, it becomes and guess which usually drives the price up.

For:

Rental AHUs listed are Trane units. It is the A/E’s understanding that the site personal has had issues with the Trane specific maintenance crews in the area. Ensure the rental company for the AHUs have their own maintenance personal to service temporary units. Contractor shall seek approval from the VA COR and site engineering for usage of Trane rental / temporary AHUs. Equivalent alternatives are acceptable to A/E with A/E review and approval.

· AHU-01-1 – Trane CSHX0035F3 (OR EQUIVALENT) (with electric heat), 7000 CFM Nominal, 5in Max ESP, 460V 3 Phase, MCA 179.8A, MOP 200A. Note: The contractor shall coordinate required electrical connection with the VA.

· AHU-01-2 – Trane CSHX0035F3 (OR EQUIVALENT) (with electric heat), 7000 CFM Nominal, 5in Max ESP, 460V 3 Phase, MCA 179.8A, MOP 200A. Note: The contractor shall coordinate required electrical connection with the VA.

· AHU-24-1 – Trane CSH0050F4 (OR EQUIVALENT) (with electric heat), 10000 CFM nominal, 5in Max ESP, 460V 3 Phase, MCA 232.2A, MOP 250A. Note: 460V unavailable at building 24. The contractor shall coordinate required electrical connection with the VA.

· AHU-51-1 – Trane RSHX0080 (OR EQUIVALENT) (with electric heat), 12,800 CFM nominal, 4.8in Max ESP, 460V 3 Phase, MCA 329A, MOP 400A Note: 460V unavailable at building 24. The contractor shall coordinate required electrical connection with the VA. If alternate is used, unit must have adequate capacity for DOAS application.

1. RFI #72, 73 & 108. We need the design team to provide the proper information on the steam trap sizing and placement. Including the traps at the units and any drip traps that might be required. This is a complicated issue that would need to be designed….by the design team….not the installing contractor. Drip traps are generally based on the pounds per hour capacity of the main. This information is not available to us.

Steam trap to be placed at the unit steam coil / humidifier.

Anticipated piping lengths do not require steam drip traps. Contractor to verify and report the piping lengths from steam mains.

STEAM TRAP SCHEDULE BASIS OF DESIGN

1. RFI #96. Thank you for giving us the spec section number. But can you provide the actual information contained in that spec section? That section is not in the documents.

Spec sheet attached.

1. RFI #97 & RFI#100. Can you provide the as-built drawing? Or a screenshot like you did in the answer to #98. We cannot determine the size of the piping without removing insulation. Is the removal of insulation allowed in the site visits?

This will be answered in a future amendment

1. Is an unarmed security guard necessary?

This is not necessary for this project.
