Amanda, A Contractor walk through was conducted for the subject SIR at the site at Albany International Airport on 8/25/2020. Below is a list of questions and answers recorded.
Q. Is there a height restriction for the crane during our crane operations?
A. Yes, 60’ AGL.
Q. Will the bid due date be extended again?
A. No.
Q. Is building siding work included in this solicitation?
A. No.
Q. Is insulation included in this solicitation?
A. Yes. (see; Summary of Work 01 11 00)
Q. Remove existing batt insulation?
A. Yes, (per call out note on Contract dwg. D001, detail A, zone A4) but the contractor will not be required to remove paper remnants stapled to strapping, only the fiberglass batts (to prevent concealment of nesting vermin).
Q. Will the ceiling be painted after the cutting the holes.
A. No, but painting the 1x trim used to reinstall and hold access panels in place after access shall be (per call out note on Contract dwg. A007, detail A, zone E5).
Q. Can a storage container (trailer/konnex box) be stored on site?
A. A Contractor staging area for the work has not yet been determined, the type of storage is up to the Contractor. A staging area will be identified no later than the date of the Pre- Construction meeting. It may be just outside the field access gate so Contractors can receive deliveries without requiring field access & escort.
Q. Will there be an FAA representative on site during construction?
A. The FAA will have an FAA Resident Engineer (or other rep.) on site at all times.
Q. Will Contractors require Airport badges?
A. No. But all Contractor personnel will undergo a 15 year background check prior to being granted (escorted) field access.
Q. Will all the antennas need to be removed from the roof?
A. Yes. (per call outs and related notes on Contract dwg. D001, detail 2, and amendment 0001 item #3) The FAA will assist the contractor and provide a sling/straps for removal of the TACAN, collar and Teepee, the contractor will provide standard rigging the crane, operator and labor). The FAA will remove the VOR antennas pedestal and Tacan support pole (see Contract dwg. A007, detail A). Everything above the antenna plate (see same drawing detail C, for “antenna plate” call out) will be removed for the roof rehabilitation work.
Q. Will the power receptacle be removed or replaced.
A. Removed. The FAA will remove the circuit back to panel, the Contractor shall remove (and patch if necessary) prior to roofing the area.
Q. Where will inner edge of the roof terminate?
A. Per call out note on Contract dwg. A007, detail A/A007, dwg. zone G2, the roof will terminate at the outer radius of the “bonding segment” (see dwg. E001, detail 1/E001).
Q. Who will determine whether existing wood and copper will need replacement?
A. the on site FAA Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) will assess the extent of material replacement.
Q. What time frame is the FAA planning to have the work completed?
A. Between September 21 and October 29 is our current outage window, this may slide to the right if necessary but completion no later than Nov, 21 due to FAA construction moratoriums and roof material temperature application limit.
Q. Will dual stud anchors be tack welded?
A. The Contractor shall tack weld or peen dual stud anchor threads (GFM items 6 & 7).
Currently not included in the Contract, an amendment will be forthcoming.
Q. Does location of monitor antenna support brackets need to be determined prior to applying the roof?
A. Yes. Because the dual stud anchors are installed under the copper around the roof edge it will result in the disturbance of the existing copper roof edge (see note 3, A005). The Contractor must make any necessary copper repairs prior to (copper) roof approval by the COR (see note 11, A005). The Copper (existing) roof condition must be approved prior to the application of the elastomeric roof.
If you have any questions or need additional information please contact me.
Thank you, Shaun Sullivan, PMP
