1. Is the receptacle inside the teepee being replaced, reinstalled, or permanently removed?

Replace existing receptacle inside of a new teepee. Local FAA request.

2. Spec Section 7E, 10A.6 and 10A.7 call for Resin application if needed and painting if needed.

Since these are not quantified, can these items be made an allowance, so we are all bidding apples to apples?

Yes, please make necessary budgetary allowances for the cost of resin application and painting as “if and there needed” items.

3. Drawing D001 Note 11: Do the obstruction lights get reinstalled, replaced or permanently removed?

I have reviewed site photos. There are no existing obstruction lights at existing VOR. No need to install.

4. Drawing D001: One note says to remove the tern metal plates and dispose of as lead waste, another note says to assume the terne plate is rotted and under the insulation is the remnants of the old asbestos roofing.

It goes on to say to remove everything and dispose of as asbestos waste. Do we dispose of the terne as lead or asbestos?

Contractor shall retain a NYS DOL certified asbestos and lead contractor to assist with abatement of hazardous materials (lead and asbestos).

Locations of work as per Asbestos and Lead Report dated May 24th, 2023.

5. Drawing D002: Is Section C showing existing conditions? Some notes indicate work to be donebut some are not clear. “Remove 3” batt insulation”, “4x6 tapered nailers bolted to C10 with ½” lags”, “Double 2x12 perimeter beam bolted to C10 via clip angles”, are these items existing or work to be done in this contract?

3” Batt insulation is existing and is to remain. Replace any 4”x 6” tapered nails that are rotted as per FAA RE direction. 2”x 1”2 perimeter beams and clip angles are existing and will remain.
