NO. QUESTION RESPONSE
1 Detail 3/AE405 room B214A is not indicating demo of acoustical ceiling, yet, room finish schedule AF702 shows room B214A gets new ACT-1 ceiling. Does room B214A get a new ceiling ACT- 1?
The existing ceiling can remain in place. Light fixtures and other devices are being replaced.

VA cannot provide a tax exempt form.

The walls on the south end of the HAWLEY WEST CLASSROOM #C114A are to be Type B2.

Please reference Wall Type B2 Sheet AF-702

No point of reference for this question – is the term ‘we’ in reference to the contractor installing the operable wall? I thought these were usually installed by the manufacturer, and all repairs were handled by the manufacturer per warranty requirements
