Question 22 - Reference Section 01 35 26 Safety Requirements, 1.7 “Site Safety and Health Officer”, Paragraph C & D

A) Does the SSHO have to be a separate qualified individual? The SSHO (Safety person) can be the same as another position on the team (dual hats) up until the new garage build goes to the 2nd level, then it must be a separate person due to the possibility of fall hazards.

B) If so, is it required that the SSHO be present during construction operations? This is a costly item. See A Above.

Question 23 - On sheet CD101. The existing manhole that the sewer laterals tie into is approximately 18’-0” deep. The plans do not show the invert elevation that the (2) laterals tie into the manhole. Can you provide the elevation of the (2) laterals? If they are 18’-0” deep, can they be left in place & filled with slurry?

Leaving the sanitary sewer laterals in place and filling with slurry is not an acceptable solution. No portion of existing utilities should be left underneath the proposed parking garage and leaving the laterals would place them underneath the garage. The topographic survey does not include the lateral elevations.

We had our maintenance crew take measurements of the lateral lines and they are as follows:

Complex F - 4 feet 3 inches Bldg. 138 – 3 feet 6 inches.

Question 24 - Specification Section 02 82 11 includes Class I Negative Pressure Enclosure Asbestos Abatement Specifications that applies to Demo of buildings 15A, 15B, F, K & 138. There is no building K shown on the plans or referenced in the hazmat report. Section 1.1.2 Extent of Work in that spec states to include removal, cleanup and disposal of asbestos/waste contaminated elements in an approximate regulated area for the following approximate quantities; 5,760 s.f. of 12”x12” grey VCT. The hazmat report SELC for project 2012-0853 dated 4/23/14 on page 2 summary states that Bldg. 15, 138 & F contain no ACM to be abated. Is this abatement in Spec. 02 82 11 omitted from the scope of work? Also confirm that there is no building K that requires demolition or ACM abatement, or provide location information for Building K.

Answer 24 - Is there a Building K, if so, where is it?

1.1. Yes, Building K is attached to, and located at the South side of Building 15B. You will find it on Sheets: AD 0.1, AD 1.1, AD 3.1, and on AD 3.2

2. Specification 02 82 11, Section 1.1.2: B. Removal, clean-up and disposal of asbestos containing materials (ACM) and asbestos/waste contaminated elements in an appropriate regulated area for the following approximate quantities; Approximately 5,760 Square feet of 12”x12” gray VCT

2.1. This specification section is in error and should be removed from the specification and the project.

3. The hazmat report SELC for project 2012-0853 dated 4/23/14 on page 2 summary states that Building 15, 138 & F contain no ACM to be abated.

3.1. The Inspection & Assessment Report Asbestos Containing

Materials and Lead Based Paint prepared by Safety Environmental Laboratories and Consulting, Inc. dated April 23, 2014 does indicate that Buildings: 15, 138, and F do not contain any asbestos nor lead based paints. (By the way, the report indicates that 15A, 15B, and K are all included under Building 15 in their report.) In conclusion, if there is no asbestos and no lead based paints, then there is no asbestos or lead based paints to abate.

See 1.3 Summary of Findings on referenced report which was an attachment under amendment 0004 of this solicitation.

Question 25 - 7.1 Bituminous Damp proofing. Please advise the quantity of this spec. Please Respond.

Answer 25 - Damp proofing is called for below grade and around the elevator pit. We do not typically supply quantities as it is the contractor’s responsibility to review the documents and take off their own quantities.
