In regards to the plan(s) (attached for your reference), we noted that the footing size spec’d is not typical.

FAA Response: Per specification on PHX-19004858-G002, 3.4, A. Contractor to provide shop drawings with sizes and dimensions. The FAA will accept, after review, an alternate design stamped by registered professional engineer.

There is a grounding rod at base of sleeve… Is another needed separately atop the 10’x3/4” ground rod?

FAA Response: Yes.

I have not seen concrete slurry called out for inside sleeve, and my understanding is the lime in concrete will attack aluminum.

FAA Response: Refer to PHX-19004858-G002, 3.5, C.

FOUNDATION TUBE. The callout on the drawing was a mistake and corrected on PHX-19004858-C001-Rev1.

Is boring a possibility to get across the parking lot / ATCT road in order to reach the other side where the panel box is located?

(Pictures attached – redline is where we would have to cut, hypothetically)

FAA RESPONSE: Boring is acceptable. Contractor shall submit a plan for the boring depth and direction for approval and must have enough clearance from existing underground utilities and cables based on the GPR scan.

Is closing the aforementioned parking lot / entry way road even remotely possible to begin with?

FAA RESPONSE: Yes. Road closures must be coordinated with the facility’ SSC, Security and RE on site 5 days in advance.

Final Set of Vendor RFIs

For the Flagpoles for the PHX ATCT Sky Harbor Flagpole Installation Project, could we use the Internal Cam Cleat Rope Halyard Ground Set Sentry Series instead?

FAA Response: The Internal Cam Cleat Rope Halyard Ground Set Sentry Series is acceptable.

If able- do you or the architect(s) know what kind of permitting is going to be required for this project? Usually the engineers or the architects let us know which ones we will need to pull.

FAA Response: The FAA is currently working with the city of Phoenix to determine the required permits, if any, to start the project. Once awarded, the contractors will be required to fill out and submit (INDEMINIFICATION AND INSURANCE AGREEMENT FOR LANDSIDE PROJECTS). Contractors will be notified with any permit requirements once determined.

Locating Underground Utilities: Other than Arizona 811 will any Xray or other underground locating be needed?

FAA Response: Yes, A full GPR scan for the work area is required to locate utilities/cables belonging to the FAA not just the city of Phoenix.

Is the Electrical Contractor responsible for the sawcut, trenching, asphalt and or concrete replacement from the electrical panel to the flagpole?

FAA Response: Assignment of work/trades to meet project requirement is the responsibility of the prime contractor.

Currently, the specification for excavated depth for pole placement is 4'3" (4'9"-6" for welded steel plate). This does not seem to be sufficient for poles of the specified sizes. Request review/clarification.

FAA Response: Per specification on PHX-19004858-G002, 3.4, A. Contractor to provide shop drawings with sizes and dimensions. The FAA will accept, after review, an alternate design stamped by registered professional engineer.

This defense and indemnity obligation includes holding Indemnitee harmless for any Losses or other amount arising out of or recovered under any state’s workers’ compensation law or arising out of the failure of Indemnitor or Indemnitor’s Agents to conform to any federal, state or local law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, or court decree.
