floor. The raised flooring heoght is to be field verified as indicated on 5/AE415.

8 Is there an acoustical ceiling in the Telephone Equipment Room 3A135? If so, is the elevation consistent with wall section #5 on drawing AE415?

The Dimension of 6’-11” indicated on detail 5/AE415 is Incorrect. Any new ACT is to be installed to match existing ceiling height, and match existing color, texture, pattern, and finish.

9 Is the intent to provide clean agent fire suppression and VESDA smoke detection in the above ceiling space of room MCR 3A133?

Room 3A-133 has an exposed ceiling, no above ceiling space to be protected. Room 3A-135 does have a drop-in ceiling but smoke detection and fire extinguishment is not required in the above ceiling space.

10 From my review is on page AE602. The glazing elevation legend, is there a better way to tell apart the existing vision glazing and the new vision glazing?

Refer to SK-001, SK-002, and SK-003, attached for the revised Glazing Elevation Legend and Updated details 2/AE602, 3/AE602, 4/AE602, and 21/AE602.

The new windows in BD605A are to be 1/4" clear tempered.
