1. Sheet MH202 General Note7 says the supply duct downstream of the filter housings need to be made of stainless steel. The specification doesn’t clearly state if this duct has to be welded or if it can just be sealed using duct sealant, please clarify if the supply duct can be sealed using duct sealant or if it needs to be welded.

Ductwork downstream of the HEPA filters shall be constructed of stainless steel and sealed using duct sealant (not welded), per Spec 23 31 00, 2.1 C.

1. Sheet MH202 does not specify if the exhaust duct for the Biological Safety Cabinets in the HD Buffer room have to be Stainless steel. Specification section 23 31 00 1.1 list exhaust duct for Biological safety cabinets, but it does not say what type of duct needs to be used when connecting to the Biological Safety Cabinets. Will the VA clarify if the duct for the fume hoods needs to be stainless steel and if it does, can it be seal with duct sealant/gaskets or does it have to be welded?

Exhaust ductwork for the BSC shall be constructed of stainless steel with welded joints.

1. Page 6 of 59 of the solicitation is the project price schedule, in which lists (2) deductive alternates with no information. Will the VA issue an Revised Price Schedule with what the deductive alternates are?

The VA does not intent to add deductive alternatives.
