4
Specification 071900 (Penetrating sealers) appears to be missing. This is typically applied to the Slab On Grade portion of the parking deck and may be applied to vertical surfaces to reduce water penetration and thereby preserving embedded reinforcement. It has been a standard specification in all VA garage projects we have bid. Question, will this be an added specification TBA?
Penetrating Sealer is specified in section 033000, 2.2 N. Use on all CIP slabs and toppings on garage ramps and decks.
5
Specification 079500 (Expansion joint cover assemblies) Typically an expansion joint similar to the Watson Bowman ME-225 of ME-300 is installed at the Slab on Grade Ramp to Elevated Deck transition. This specification and drawing detail seems to be missing currently. Question, will this specification and corresponding drawing be issued as part of the bid documents?
See detail A/SF103. Specification to be provided.
6
Standardized spacing of Contraction joints seem to be missing from the drawings as are other waterproofing details. Question will a sheet of waterproofing details be forthcoming?
Control joints are noted on CIP slab, see SF101. All typical control joint and construction joints are shown on SF102.
7
What labor category does the VA place a worker who applies penetrating sealers, installs expansion joints, applies traffic coating on decks and caulks?
The VA incorporates Davis Bacon Wage Determinations published by the United States Department of Labor for the county where construction services are being performed into our construction contract documents. Labor categories and rates applicable to this project can be found in the Davis Bacon Wage Determinations for Suffolk County. Please see solicitation 36E77618R0063 attachment 9, Davis Bacon Wage Rates Suffolk County. Any questions regarding interpretation of their documents should be clarified with the DOL at www.dol.gov/whd/ govcontracts.
8
This structure is adjacent to ocean environment and freeze thaw cycles. There does not appear to be a specification 071900 penetrating sealer. Is it the intent to leave these decks untreated and subject to deicing salt contamination?

Will a freestanding or advanced (not to be left as part of the work) mock up be required for any finishes? If so please issue a mock up panel drawing.

18
Please clarify whether the requirements set forth in the VA BIM Standards (https://www.cfm.va.gov/til/projReq.asp) and VA BIM Manual v2.2 are to be maintained on this project. The Specifications define but do not outline the requirements for the following:

Available electronic copies of files will be made available to the successful bidder. Format to be what is available.
20
In regards to the off-site parking requirement. We have not yet been able to find a lot large enough in the area for the temporary parking. In the interest of time would the VA consider taking this responsibility on themselves? Or could there be an allowance for all contractors for this due to the lack of available space for this requirement? Please advise.
VA will not remove the requirement for temporary offsite parking. The VA will not incorporate an allowance for temporary parking.
