CONTRACTING OFFICER

Says architectural demo required by is a type C dead leg. No indication of end treatment but termination is to a frequently used fixture.

So why the need for architectural demolition if nothing happens or does the demo still occur? If demo occurs, do the lines get capped, capped with valve? Any insulation required?

If the Type is a B or C dead leg, the dead leg terminates at an infrequent or frequently used fixture.

Does this mean no work is to be provided? Active fixture regardless of usage?

See room # 227B dead leg 002 and room # 260 dead leg no. 002 and 003.

Response: * - DL to remain.

** - DL to be shortened as needed and a valve added (see detail 9 on PL-144).

RFI15. Single Asterisk shown on RM 149A for example calls for caps and ball valves. So the dead leg stays and caps and valves get added or are those existing?

Response: See RFI 14 Response.

RFI16. RM. 136 dead leg tags 001, 2, 3, r4, and 005 show no architectural demo required, gives me total length of dead leg pipe (Assume to all be removed), terminated with a cap or plug, and only 004 gets a valve. So if I read this correctly on all, all would demo unless the single asterisk is shown, some cap, some don’t determined on the termination note and the dual asterisk indicates a valve even though the valve type may say none??

Response: See “Dead Leg Removal Note” on PL-001.

Response: Period of Performance is changed to 300 calendar days.

RFI 19. If the VA is not willing to extend the project to the duration as requested in #1, please submit the longest possible time extension the VA would consider for this project.

Response: See RFI 18 Response.

RFI 20. Will the VA consider allowances be made to eliminate pre-inspections in non-essential areas? This would prevent delay by only reviewing the completed product for any given area.

Response: Pre-inspections are not a requirement.

RFI 22. Will the VA allow work to proceed during weekday afternoon & evening hours instead of limiting certain locations to weekends only? Proper notification and work scheduling will be provided according to guidelines set by the VA.

Response: No.

RFI 23. Will the VA consider an agreed time limit by which submittals have to be reviewed & returned to the prime? This is to prioritize the approval process and prevent stoppage or delay.

Response: See Specification Section 01 33 23 – 7 (1.10.D).

RFI 24. Will the VA consider offering a letter to proceed on portions of the work, prior to complete submission approvals.

Response: No.

RFI 25. Please confirm that detail 1 will only require to provide and install the check valve with backflow preventer. All other items in this particular application should have been previously installed therefore not required.

Response: Only one check valve is required for this location.

RFI 26. Drawing PL-130, 109, 111, 112, 115, show locations that are not identified with a “New Work Key” note but show hashed demolition reference. Please confirm if notation note 8 is to be used.

Response: Only DL’s with the 8 get treated this way; all Type A DL’s to be removed, as earlier stated.

RFI 27. All Drawings: There are multiple of dead leg tags shown with no note directive to perform additional work. We assume these are for reference only. Please confirm.

Response: See RFI 1 Response.

RFI 28. Drawing PL-110: Confirm no work is associated with enlarged plan detail 3, 7, 8, and 9.

Response: Noted with single *, no work needed.

RFI 29. Drawing PL-112 / 113-B-2: Appears to only support work to provide insulation although does show some demolition. Please confirm scope of work with this drawing.

Response: There are Type A DL’s in these areas, see RFI 1 response for further information.

RFI 30. Drawing PL-114 shows (2) Note 6 hose bibb vacuum breaker installations per enlarged plan 2. Confirm enlarged drawings 1, 3, 4, and 5 are for reference only.

Response: Detail #2 on this sheet has Type A DL.

RFI 31. PL-116: Clarification. Drawing shows work associated with “New Work Key” 6. (2) Dead leg Tags are shown on the same as-built # 1. PL-112 of the dead leg schedule room 212 indicates that there is 10’ of 1/2” pipe for HW and CW to a sink and indicates no valve need. Do we assume no work is involved here or is this a demo in-wall only. Please clarify.

Response: Do not understand question.

RFI 32. Drawing PL-117: There are (4) outside hose bibb locations that do NOT reference note 6. Although these have dead leg Tags, are vacuum breakers not required? Please confirm.

Response: These locations have existing vacuum breakers.

RFI 33. Drawing PL-118: Dead leg Tags on drawing 1. Confirm that this is piping demo only and caps with no valves. (2) are noted as gate type in RM. 219. None shown in RM 218.

Response: Type A DL, see RFI 1 response for more information.

RFI 34. Drawings PL-126, 127, and 128: Please confirm work is only related to insulation on this drawing. 18-1-001-001 is not defined on drawing PL-013.

Response: Piping in this area does not need to be insulated and heat trace is not necessary, since the system is drained during the winter.

RFI 35. There are a lot of Backflow preventers identified that don’t appear to need any attention. Is it safe to assume these are for identification only? An example is building #1 room MB10. I see lots of dead leg A identifiers but I don’t see any further detail as what needs to happen here?

Response: See RFI 1 Response.

RFI 36. I believe all the type A dead legs are to be removed, and all type B and C are just for location identification only. Is that correct?

Response: Correct. See RFI 1 Response.
