23. During the pre-bid site visit, GSA indicated original as-built drawings for the existing curtain wall/storefront system at the 2nd Floor Judge's Chambers (Bid Alternate No. 1) were available. Please provide these as-built drawings.

Additionally, please confirm the existing wall construction at this location — the interior is fully drywalled over, and no existing curtain wall framing or panels are visible from the exterior, making existing conditions difficult to verify from the contract documents alone. (Ref: Drawing AD101; Bid Alternate No. 1)

RESPONSE: IMAGES OF THE ORIGINAL AS-BUILT DRAWINGS ARE ATTACHED

FOR REFERENCE AND SHOW THAT THE EXTERIOR WALL CONSISTS OF

ALUMINUM WALL SYSTEM SECURED TO 8’’ CONCRETE BLOCKWALL WITH

FURRING AND PLASTER INTERIOR WALLS. REFER TO ATTACHED IMAGE.

VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL MEMBERS. THE FINISH, DESIGN AND DIMENSIONS

SHOULD MATCH THE EXISTING ADJACENT WINDOW ASSEMBLIES ALONG THE

SECOND STORY OF THE SOUTHEAST BUILDING.

27. Drawing EYD101 (Security Site Demolition Plan) indicates existing gate access control equipment is to be removed and stored for gate replacement, but does not show existing underground/above-ground pathways, conduit routing, duct banks, pull boxes, or spare capacity serving the gate locations. Please provide:

(a) available as-built documentation, utility surveys, or record drawings showing existing pathway routing and utility locations at the fence/gate work areas; (b) identification of any spare or unused conduits available for reuse; (c) existing electrical and communications (fiber, copper, low-voltage) capacity serving gate operators, access control devices, and related equipment; and (d) any known damaged, abandoned, or inaccessible conduits/pathways in these areas. (Ref:

Drawings EYD101, EY101)

RESPONSE: ADEQUATE PATHWAY IS AVAILABLE FOR REINSTALLATION AND

ADDITIONAL CABLING.

28. Spec 011000 para 1.2.D.1.b states temporary access/security during construction shall be provided by the Owner. Please confirm this provision applies to maintaining continuous access control coverage at the vehicle and pedestrian gates while existing access control devices are removed and reinstalled during fence/gate replacement (per Drawing EYD101). Additionally, please identify any allowable outage windows for gate/access control downtime during cutover, and confirm whether any Contractor-furnished temporary security measures are required to prevent security gaps during this work. (Ref: Spec 011000 para 1.2.D; Drawing EYD101)

RESPONSE: ACCESS CONTROL TO THE BUILDING AND VEHICLE GATES WILL

BE AVAILABLE DURING WORKING HOURS AND CUTOVER SHOULD BE

PERFORMED AFTER HOURS OR ON THE WEEKEND UNLESS APPROVED BY

GSA TWO WEEKS IN ADVANCE. THE GSA PROJECT MANAGER WILL WORK

WITH THE GC PHASING PLAN FOR ALLOWABLE OUTAGES. THE BUILDING

SHOULD ALWAYS BE SECURED. THE CONTRACTOR WILL NEED TO PAY FOR

TEMPORARY SECURITY IF REQUIRED.

29. Drawing AE-204, Detail 4 (Andrews Street Existing Elevation – Vehicle Gates) labels “DIAMOND MESH OVER EXISTING VEHICLE GATE” at Vehicle Gates #3 and #4. A review of the specification Table of Contents finds no dedicated spec section for this mesh material; Section 32 31 19 (Impasse II fence) covers the anti-climb welded-wire mesh (ASTM F2453) for the fence panels generally but does not address gate infill mesh. Please provide the applicable specification section, material standard, and attachment method for the diamond mesh gate infill shown on AE-204. (Ref: Drawing AE-204 Detail 4; Spec Section 32 31 19)

RESPONSE: PROVIDE NEW 3" x 1/2" ASTM F2453 WELDED-WIRE ANTI-CLIMB

INFILL; AMERISTAR WIREWORKS ANTI-CLIMB; 10.5 GA. WIRE; PROVIDE

MANUFACTURER-APPROVED RETAINING BRACKETS AND TAMPER-RESISTANT

FASTENERS FOR INSTALLATION ON EXISTING VEHICLE GATES. PRIOR TO

AVAILABLE CLEARANCES AT ALL MOVING COMPONENTS. OBTAIN WRITTEN

APPROVAL FROM AMERISTAR OR AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE

CONFIRMING COMPATIBILITY OF THE PROPOSED MESH INFILL AND

ATTACHMENT SYSTEM.

30. Drawing C-1, at Gate 2, shows two adjacent callouts: (1) “EXISTING 6' FENCE

AND GATE TO BE REPLACED WITH 8' FENCE AS PER AMERISTAR

SPECIFICATIONS” within the Gate 2 (1/C-4) callout box, and (2) a separate label just outside that box identifying a “7-FOOT HIGH CONCRETE WALL WITH 4-FOOT HIGH IRON FENCE (11-FOOT TOTAL HEIGHT).” Since the wall-mounted assembly already exceeds 8' in total height, please confirm whether this wall/fence assembly is included in the 8' fence replacement scope or is to remain as-is. (Ref: Drawing C-1, Gate 2 area)

RESPONSE: DESIGN INTENT IS TO HAVE ALL FENCING APPEAR UNIFORM.

31. Drawing AE-204, Details 3 and 5, show “OUTLINE OF CORE DRILL FOR FENCE POST, TYP.” For the new 4' fence posts set into the existing concrete retaining wall. Specification Section 32 31 19 §3.02.A permits grouted core-drilled footers only “if shown by engineering analysis to be sufficient in strength for the intended application,” but does not specify a core-drill diameter or grout/anchor product. Please provide (1) the required core-drill diameter, (2) the specified non-shrink grout or epoxy anchor product, and (3) the method for patching/finishing any existing core-drilled holes abandoned as part of this work.

(Ref: Drawing AE-204 Details 3 & 5; Spec Section 32 31 19 §3.02.A)

Specification Section 01 10 00 §1.2.D.1.b assigns temporary access/security during construction to the Owner, and General Demolition Note 17 on Drawing AD-100 requires the Contractor to install temporary fencing or barriers to maintain site security during demolition. For fence/gate replacement work that temporarily opens the building's perimeter, please clarify (1) whether the Owner's guard coverage or the Contractor's temporary fencing is the primary security measure at the end of each work day, and (2) whether any opening left by fence/gate removal must be closed with Contractor-furnished temporary fence panels before the crew demobilizes each day. (Ref: Spec 011000 §1.2.D.1.b;

Drawing AD-100, General Demolition Note 17)

RESPONSE: (1) THE CONTRACTOR’S TEMPORARY FENCING IS THE PRIMARY

SECURITY MEASURE AT THE END OF EACH WORK DAY (2) YES, ANY OPENING

LEFT BY FENCE/GATE REMOVAL MUST BE CLOSED WITH CONTRACTOR

FURNISHED TEMPORARY FENCE PANELS BEFORE THE CREW DEMOBILIZED

EACH DAY.
