Request for Information

Question 22

A) We do not find drawing LP5.1.0 in the issued drawing set. Please provide or advise.

Answer: Disregard detail 14/LP5.1.0 B) Please clarify how much concrete paving we’ll need to include with our 1,000 L.F. of handrail; or confirm that concrete paving shown on the Amendment 00003 Guard Rail drawing is accounted for elsewhere in the drawings (i.e. sidewalks) and is to be included in Line Items 1 or 2 as appropriate (not included in Bid Line Item 4).

Answer No additional concrete paving needed for guard rail. Refer to bid set for all project concrete paving.

C) To rephrase item b above: Please confirm that Bid Line Item 4 is to include only handrail, posts and footings.

Answer: See above Question 23 –

Section 09 91 00 – 12 (last page of this section) “Specification for Powder Coating over Hot Dip Galvanizing”. This paragraph indicates that powder coating is recommended to take place within 12 hours of galvanizing. This is a very difficult requirement to meet and through our research we’ve been told that this is a patented process performed by only one firm in the country. Section 05 05 13 calls for galvanizing, shop prime, and field finish of steel that will be exposed to the elements. Please confirm that powder coating structural steel, specifically within 12 hours of hot-dip galvanizing is not required; and that hot-dip galvanizing, factory prime, and field finish per Section 05 05 13 is acceptable for structural steel on this project.

Question 23 Answer: Contractor shall powder coating per plans. However, the powder coating within 12 hours requirements could be waived.

Question 24 – Proposal RFI – In reference to RFI response #6, this still does not address the location of the 1000lf of handrail. Will the VA please provide a drawing that shows the location of the 1000lf of new handrail?

Question 24 Answer:

Contractor to provide and install 1000 linear feet handrails using posted handrails specs. Location to be determined on site after award.
