8 Thyssenkrupp Elevator Please provide a list of GSA-approved vendors for the RC White Federal Building to bidders including electrical, fire-life-safety, general contracting, flooring, etc. vendors.

GSA does not provide a list of approved contractors. It is the contractors responsibility to research and work with responsible sub-contractors that are qualified to perform the work required to provide a complete project.

9 Thyssenkrupp Elevator General: Recognizing the importance of the successful contract providing the least most disruptive modernization project to your building tenants, please specify what work falls under this criteria that must be scheduled at times other than normal duty hours.

Any work that may disrupt the normal operations of the building. Work that generates excessive noise, creates a safety hazard to building occupants and visitors, delivery of materials through public areas during normal business hours, shutdown or disruption of building utilities or life safety devices, electrical power, 10 Thyssenkrupp Elevator Scope of Work -Other Requirements (11.1.6): Is the GSA aware of the existence of any asbestos and/or lead paint within the facility? Please provide any existing asbestos and lead paint condition reports for the building.

Procede under the assumption that there is no issue with Lead paint or Asbestos in the Elevator Equipment Room of the elevator hoistways.

11 Thyssenkrupp Elevator Section 14210-General (1.3): It appears that this section calls for retaining both main and counterweight rails and hoistway entrance sills, headers, and fascias. Does this

15 Thyssenkrupp Elevator Section 14210-13. Electrical Feeders and Wiring (13.3): The specification indicates to install new “energy efficient” light fixtures in both the machine room and hoistways. Is the GSA requiring the installation new LED fixture assemblies in these locations?

Specs require "energy efficient" Provide the most energy efficient possible. LED fixtures are acceptable for use at both locations.

16 Thyssenkrupp Elevator

Section 14210-13. Electrical Feeders and Wiring (13.3): The specification indicates to provide a labelled, lockable disconnect in the machine room for the new “energy efficient” lighting. Does this section require that the hoistway light fixtures be part of the machine room lockable disconnect noted or just the machine room lighting? If so, where does the existing wiring for the existing hoistway lighting (currently installed) go to within the building now?

The labeled, lockable disconnect in the machine room is to control the new hoistway lighting. The existing lighting is fed from Panel "ELB" in the electrical closet on the 3rd floor to the west of the elevator shafts.
