RFI 1:

On pages AE201 and AE202, keynote 1 states to “clean and prep for new EIFS acrylic finish coat over all existing-colored surfaces.” The area pointed out by this keynote is kind of vague and just points to the side of the building. I currently assume that this means that the entire exterior of the parking structure is to get EIFS. Is this correct?

Response:

Revise Color Key on AE201 and AE202 as noted below. All areas noted on elevations as P-1 and P-2 that are previously painted are to receive EIFS refinishing.

RFI 2:

Will substitute products (for example the coating on the floors) be requested by the manufacturer or the contractors?

Response:

RFI 12:

Traffic Coating subcontractor is confirming project cost range of $1M to $2M only. Base on previous project the material cost alone for a Traffic Coating PUMA system is about $45 to $50 per sqft range.
