Solicitation 47PE0723R0011 - Gibbons Courtroom 7B and Holding Cell - Additional RFI Responses 06/28/2023 AnswerQuestion

1 The photos are the best we are able to provide at this time.

Cold-formed metal framing systems that are detailed completely and explicitly on the drawings or completely specified, including depth, flange width, gage, and spacing of members, as well as connections to the supporting structure, do not need to be engineered. All other items will need to be designed and sealed per the specifications.

3 Yes, provide per the specifications.

Since this is an existing building with an established BAS, they would need to install controls to communicate with that existing system. That continues to be the protocol for existing buildings. In fact, the regional BAS specifications strictly forbids mixing systems in buildings that will not communicate with the existing front end computer.

The lighting control system design consists of general performance requirements and is intended to be biddable by multiple manufacturers.

6 Provide signage to match existing building signage.

The specifications are written to explicitly allow either ready-mixed or site mixed concrete.

The existing manufacturer / model is unknown. Provide the best match to the existing finishes.

9 AFA Protective Systems, Inc./Top Notch Fire & Safety

10 JCI

11 Siemens

AFA Protective Systems, Inc./Top Notch Fire & Safety (We have an agreement with AFA, and they sub out to Top Notch.)

We are looking for information or a POC with the vendor who installed the Notifier Alarm/Security System which is located on the seventh floor. Can you please furnish us with this information ?

The USMS uses TYCO for the building security system. Initial installer is unknown.

The pictures provided were blurry. It is hard to read the proprietary companies on panels and devices like t-stats.

054000 – Cold Formed Metal Framing requires Shop Drawings stamped by a Structural Engineer which is not industry standard and will be an additional unnecessary expense to the GSA and its customer.

079200 – Joint Sealants requires Preconstruction and Field Testing by the GC and GSA. It is questionable why this is required and if the GSA wants to spend monies on testing like this.

The is no DDC HVAC Controls specifications. I know Region 4 has an extensive HVAC Specification per P-100. If the existing system is Metasys(JCI), we would need to know how to handle the P-100 open protocol requirement.

260923 – Lighting Control Devices. There is no basis of design.

There is no specification section for Signage.

033000 – Concrete specification is written as if it were a project outside with easy access for concrete trucks. The concrete will need to be mixed on the 7th floor or windows will have to be removed and concrete pumped from the street with is cost prohibitive for such a small amount of concrete.

Finish Schedule requires the GC to match Access Floor. Carpets and Wallpaper without giving the manufacturer and model/spec to match.

Who currently maintains and tests the Fire Sprinkler Suppression System for the building.

Who maintains the HVAC DDC Control System?

What is the manufacturer for the Fire Alarm System?

What company maintains the Fire Alarm System?

Is LEED Certification required? No
