Auvorie Benson Contracting Officer

· Neither the Statement of Work nor the Drawings mention or depict any heating or cooling for this new restroom building. Will VANCA provide specifics for any heating, cooling, or ventilation requirements?

· Yes, normally it is part of the prefab package.

· Will VANCA provide the sources for the water and power connections for this new building?

· Yes. We will provide a map of the existing utilities

· Is VANCA interested in any UV Lighting systems that would provide disinfection to this restroom building?

· No, just necessary space lighting

· Will VANCA provide specifics on all Owner requested toilet accessories (mirrors, towel dispensers, waste receptacles, tissue dispensers, changing tables, etc.)?

· We can but it is the normal ADA toilet room accessories as you listed.

· Drawing Sheet 3, Enlarged Floor Plan depicts one building dimension, but the second dimension is blank. Will VANCA provide the 2nd dimension, overall square footage, and the building height?

· Yes. The floor plan provided is diagrammatical and another standard floor plan design can be used from a pre-fab vendor provided it is ADA accessible. There is no height limitation.

· Drawing Sheet 3, Enlarged Floor Plan depicts what appears to be a tile pattern on the floor. Will VANCA provide information on the requested tile, grout, and the height for any tile wains on the walls?

· This is a prefab unit. Normally the floors are just sealed concrete. Wainscot will be per typical AA requirements.

· Referencing Section A2.3 of the statement of work, there is no mention under the sitework scope of work for retaining walls, and drainage infrastructure. Existing drainage facilities will need to be relocated, and retaining walls are anticipated to provide a “level” area for the parking and building. Is this work to be included in the offer, or will it be negotiated as an add service once the extent of the improvements is determined during the design phase?

· This is part of the design build of the project. That is the reason it is design build is for you to figure out the issues and address them. I cannot tell you how to do the project.

· Based on the tight construction area where the proposed facilities are intended to be located, the existing topography may dictate that there is not adequate space to build the required improvements to meet ADA accessibility criteria, or be able to fit the service area access road on the VA property. We are estimating about 3 feet of fall across the 75 feet frontage of the access drive. This is a 4% slope we need to match into with the ADA parking space meaning a portion of the access road will need to be rebuilt. Is there an option to encroach onto the adjoining property for the service yard access road and rebuilding the access road?

· No encroachment. ADA requirement must be followed with budget considerations taken into account.

· Based on the provided site plan, the septic system is located on the high side of the site and in an area of where existing drainage is located. Depending on soil conditions, it may not be possible to fit a septic system in the area that was shown. Does the VA have as-builts for the existing utilities in the area to determine if an alternate location for the septic system is available? Are percolation pits an option in lieu of leach lines to minimize the required area for the system?

· We do have as-builts for utilities. Design as per concept plans. A soils report is available from the last expansion project.

· The SOW states to supply a Concrete or CMU prefabricated Toilet Room. Will the VA clarify whether an alternate type of building would be acceptable such as a Cedar Timber Prefabricated building packager?

· No alternate types of building materials. Concrete materials only.

Please Note: Floor plans are diagrammatical and could change based on requirements from the pre-fab vendor. Standard plans from the pre-fab vendor will be considered.
