Substitution in the type of membrane to be applied at tower level (Ex. to cool roof silicone elastomeric membrane or any equal or similar that complying the project requirement in terms of quality, warranty, wind pressure and uplift) can be allowed?

No silicone or rubber single sheet membrane roofing is allowed.

In Drawing A-525 Detail 5 identifies an existing roof membrane under clay tile, but it does not describe the type of membrane.

The existing membrane is a single ply roll of asphalt sheet. Place new roofing membrane on top of existing membrane. Contractor to provide a separate cost for removal of existing membrane if required.

In that case, can use a synthetic rubber, intercoat sealing membrane before installing de clays in all roofs?

The Contractor may propose a membrane that can be applied over the existing asphalt membrane, However, the membrane must be acceptable by the FOAM adhesive manufacturer that the TILE manufacturer will accept. FOAM be able to adhere to both the membrane and the tile.

25. In case of concrete repairs due to clay removal on all roofs. Because the amount of surface to be repaired is unknown, The possible concrete repair on the clay roofs surface must be estimated and considered as part of the cost presented on the proposal or through an allowance?

Assume 15% of surface to be patched. Note that it appears that the only tiles secured to concrete at Main and Lower Spanish tile is at the ridge, hip lines & Eave perimeters. with mortar. This also occurs at the top of the Lantern at the Curbs around the flat copper roof.

Most Spanish tiles are set with Foam Adhesive and removal of this tile does not envision damage to the surface concrete. GC will use methods suitable for the careful removal of tiles. Note that the longer tapered barrel type Cubana tiles at the Shed and Lantern roofs are also set in mortar on top of a sloped concrete roof slab. Here these tiles are being replaced 100% with new. The contractor can assume 40% patching of this surface if needed.

26. In order to comply with Drawing AD-101 Demolition Note #1 indicates: “Assume a minimum of 50% of existing tiles to be salvaged.” and the new attachment format for Spanish Tiles described in Drawing A-525

Are the existing tiles suitable to receive the new attachment format? In case of not, is allowed to consider replacing 100% of tiles to comply with the new attachment format?

This project does not look to provide 100% all new tiles for Spanish “S” type. Existing tiles on the roof have been observed with a corner hole for attachment, it may be possible not every tile has this hole which shall be covered under the Contractors cost. Contractor shall consider the cost to drill holes into existing tiles that may be missing an attachment hole. Assume 30% of the 50% to be reused are missing holes and may require drilling.

27. In Drawing A-202 Keynote #9 indicates: Remove plant growth from exterior finish

Where is it? The drawing does not have specified the location of mentioned keynote.

See elevation A-201, Entry in the middle of the building. On North façade around Stone eagle.

28. In Drawing A-203 Keynote #12 indicates: Replace Anti-Bird netting from eave above to roof below.

Do you have any specification/ requirement of the material mentioned?

Yes. Refer to the attached specification, Section 108113, Bird Control Devices.

29. In Drawing A-201 Keynote #11 indicates Patch Damaged Concrete/Plaster Finish

The mentioned repairs must be estimated and considered as part of the cost presented on the proposal or through an allowance?

The repair of the portion/s indicated on the plans and elevations should be shown on the proposal since they are visible and exposed to view. Patching of unforeseen or unknown should be considered by the Contractors in their proposal.

30. In Drawing A-525 identify a nailable concrete slab under existing roof membrane

How we will proceed is there no nailable concrete slab under the existing roofing membrane?

The existing drawings indicate a nailable concrete, there is no reason to believe that it is not as shown on Drawing A-525. Note that the term nailable does not mean that only nails can be used. Note that concrete screws or specific shanked nails may be required by Tile manufacturer. Refer to clay tile specifications.

31. Due pull test would be required to roof tiles install? If so, How many?

One Pull test per 1,000 SF of roofing. The general contractor will consider this cost in the proposal.

32. Membrane installation will only be torched, or other methods will be allowed?

Refer to Specification 075216 for installation of roofing instructions

33. Will there be a staging area provided?

Due to space limitations a small space to storage material will be provided in the basement to the General Contractor. If desired, the space could be used as a fabrication shop (hot work not allowed) or staging area. No additional space will be provided.

35. Could you please clarify on Page 11 of the Solicitation No.47PC0620R0001 if new PPQs on the GSA form must be submitted or if existing PPQs are acceptable? If existing PPQs are acceptable, does it have to be on a GSA form? The specific confusion is around the two sentences below.

Offerors may resubmit questionnaires previously submitted with other proposals or may obtain an updated/new PPQ from a client for any submission. Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs previously submitted for other RFPs.

There is an upcoming elevators project, so access will be subject to availability.

52. Which floors reaches the maintenance/service elevator?
