Request for Information - Questions & Answers Solicitation No.: 47PC1120R0010

Amendment 0004

Question 8: Plans AE301 and AE504 call out a “CT” backsplash. There is not “CT” listed on AE601 finish schedule or legend. What is “CT”?

Answer 8: CT has been deleted from the work.

Question 9: Are there any drawings showing what S-1 thru S-4 look like? Also what is the size of the GSA plaque on page AE301?

Answer 9: Stainless steel GSA logo signage size shall be 30” x 30”. “S1 and S2 based on existing building standard sizes; S3 = 6” x 6” minimum; S4 = 6” x 18” minimum.”

Question 10: Symbols on Drawing Sheet MH602 show line types that should be dashed to coordinate with Demolition work show on Drawing Sheet MD101. Please confirm line types.

Answer 10: Both Drawing Sheets MD101 and MH602 have been reissued with clouded areas showing the changes made to clarify existing vs demolition extents and line types.

Question 11: On AE102 there is #24 windows, but I don’t see a size anywhere. I am only counting #15 windows on sheet AE101. Are you able to give me a size? Are all 24 the same size? The only exterior wall elevation I see is a partial North wall on AE301

Answer 11: In total there are 24 perimeter windows that will need roller shades. See attached for the window sizes. The #15 referred to in the RFI question refers to keyed note #1 on AE101.

This keyed note is referring to the work that is scheduled at the PTAC covers.
