QUESTION #1 & ANSWERS #1:

Will a chain link fence be required for the project as shown on the plans or will an orange construction fence be sufficient?

▪ Just Chain Link Fence.

When would the work begin for the project? We were told at the site visit not till after Memorial Day.

▪ The construction should start after Memorial Day, but the submittal process and other admin work could be done before Memorial Day.

The Period of Performance is 90 Calendar Days after the Notice to Proceed. The lead times for the materials could be several weeks after approved submittals. Can the Period of Performance be extended or can the Notice to Proceed be delayed till the submittals are approved and we know the material lead time?

▪ This is a case-by-case situation and the NCA will work with the contractor, taking in account Lead Time for delivery of materials, post the pandemic.

In Specification Section 01-81-13 Sustainable Construction Requirements it states that a project materials cost data spreadsheet is required. Will this be required for this project? The contract will be well under $250K and most of the materials involved are Division 08- Doors and Windows.

▪ Not required.

QUESTION #2 & ANSWERS #2:

Drawing CS-100 call for chain link construction fence. Can a construction fence (i.e., orange snow fence utilizing cones with snow fence by the roadway and concrete) be utilized in lieu of chain link fence?

▪ Just chain link fence.

If snow fence cannot be used, does chain link fence posts need to be drove into ground or will chain link panel fence (approximately 10’ long panels) be utilized as this fence appears to encompass the new paving and concrete that is on site? No drove into ground/asphalt/concrete.

▪ Provide metal or concrete base with sandbag.

What is the basis of design for the storefront sliding doors? It shows examples from the National Cemetery of the Alleghenies on Drawing A-101. (Please note that this project calls for manual sliding doors according to detail #1 and the pictures provided form the Alleghenies project show to be automatic sliding doors).

▪ The picture shows handle on both door and not automatic sliding doors.

QUESTION #3 & ANSWER #3:

On the manual sliding doors are they to slide only, swing only, or both slide and swing. The picture on A- 101 shows these doors to slide and swing. If they are to be slide and swing, please provide the basis of design for the doors depicted in the pictures of the National Cemetery of the Alleghenies.

▪ Both slide and swing, design base is to have sliding door with emergency push bar exit which make the door swing out
