17 On sheet 3, note I it calls for high density sound blankets. Please provide additional details as to installation and location.

PERVIOUS ANSWER

18 On sheet 3 east wall elevation it shows the location of “painted acoustic tiles”. In my experience and research, when one paints and acoustical tile and seals the manufactured pores in said tiles, any sound attenuation qualities that may have existed will no longer exist. Please advise if indeed this is the goal of the government or would the government want to proceed with a different method.

PAINTED SURFACE ON ACOUSTICAOL PANELS IS THE INTENT OF THE DESIGN.
