Proposal RFI #4 – The telecom drawings seem to contradict each other. For example, on drawing

EDS-100, Demolition Key Note #3 tells us “Existing Voice/Data Outlets shall be removed and replaced with new system” Then on drawing ES-100, Keynote #3 tells us “All devices with “E” subscript are existing and shall remain protected during construction”. This note refers to the same locations the previous demo page told us to remove. So, one spot on the drawing tells us to remove everything, then another spot on the drawing tells us to save some locations.

Also, some of the locations shown on the installation plans are marked as “E” (existing), however on the demo plans which is supposed to show the existing conditions, that location is not shown as existing at all Can we get better clarification on what we are doing for every note? These issues are consistent throughout this scopes drawings.

Proposal RFI # – All the existing voice/data outlets, Fire Alarm devices in Room #’s 011, 012, 013, 014 & 015 shown on Sheet ES-100 with “E” subscript are to remain. The devices in the hatched area on both the sheets EDS-100 & ES-100 are to remain as the hatched area is not in

Scope of Work.

Proposal RFI #5 – Sheet Note #6 on EL-100 indicates to replace existing fixtures in mechanical room 9B, however the fixture type is not shown. Please advise if these fixtures are to be replaced and if so, provide the fixture type.
