Jennifer Stringer Contracting Officer Contractor Questions- 36C25723Q0657 Pharmacy Bullet Proof Glass Replacement

1. Will a transparent package receiver, deal tray, & bullet resistant window mounted communication device be required in the windows, similar to existing conditions? If yes, please indicate requirements for each by amendment to all bidders.

The picture of the tag (below) has manufacturer information; prospective vendors for this requirement should contact the manufacturer for detail drawings or specifications.

1. There is an existing gypsum board wall between the two windows and is built over the existing deal tray and between the jambs of the two windows. This wall may need to be demolished and reinstalled to get the new windows in.

YES. The picture of the tag (below) has manufacturer information; prospective vendors for this requirement should contact the manufacturer for detail drawings or specifications.

1. Confirm site visit will allow visitors access into the pharmacy so contractors can see the windows from the pharmacy side. YES. A site visit was conducted already for this requirement. Another site visit may be arranged at the pre-construction conference after award of this requirement. No visitor or staff will be allowed during performance of glass replacement.
