QUESTIONS-RESPONSES -R6 Restroom Remodel- Mother Nursing Mother Room.xlsx

This file is a Questions and Responses document for FEMA Region 6's Restroom Remodel and Nursing Mother Room project at the Denton Campus Federal Regional Center (FRC) and Vehicle Storage Administration Building 1 (VSAB1). The Q&A clarifies key specifications and design requirements for the remodeling work, addressing 21 inquiries from prospective offerors regarding site visits, design documentation, fixture specifications, and material selections.

The document confirms that site visit attendance was not mandatory for proposal eligibility, though FEMA could not accommodate additional individual visits before the deadline. For design specifications, contractors must determine door hardware schedules, electrical and lighting plans, accessory locations, nursing mother's room layout, and ADA unisex restroom configuration—all subject to FEMA approval. Specific fixture requirements include hands-free plumbing fixtures, two toilets and two urinals in the men's restroom, three toilets in the women's restroom, replacement of all dispensers, and a nursing reclining chair upholstered in healthcare-grade vinyl. All plumbing up to 9 feet must be concealed either within walls or through furring out, and toilet partitions must be constructed from phenolic core or high-pressure laminate materials. The contractor is responsible for developing demolition plans, conducting asbestos testing and abatement if needed, and may include defined allowances for work that cannot be accurately quantified. Minimal architectural documentation is available, but the awarded contractor will have access to the facility's blueprint room and asbestos survey records.
