AMENDMENT 3 - ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS AND GOVT RESPONSE.pdf

ATF COMPLEX – GOV’T RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS

1. 500-Gallon Drainage Tank

Contractor’s Questions:

1. “Please confirm that gutters/downspouts for each building will need to drain into the tank.”

2. “Will one tank service both buildings?”

3. “Please confirm if this is shown correctly, or a new tank will be required.”

4. “Are the contractors required to supply the tank, if yes what make/model?”

5. “Will this tank be above ground or below grade?”

GOV’T RESPONSE:

1. Gutters/Downspouts: NO – WILL NOT DRAIN TO TANK

2. One Tank for Both Buildings: NO – only simulator building has water. The PWS only mentions the tank in the section for the Simulator Building (4.3.9), implying it serves that building alone.

3. New or Existing Tank: Section 4.3.9 requires the contractor to “install a 500-gallon tank,” indicating it is a new installation.

4. Contractor to Supply: Answered. The requirement to “install” the tank confirms the contractor must supply it. No make or model is specified.

5. Above or Below Grade: Answered. The requirement for the tank to have a “gravel bottom to facilitate subsurface drainage” strongly implies it will be installed below grade.

2. Insulation Warranty

Contractor’s Question:

“Please confirm that spray foam applied directly to the wall panels will be acceptable, acknowledging the potential warranty issue related to this installation. Otherwise, please provide an alternate method of insulation, for example Insulated Metal Panels (IMP).”

GOV’T RESPOSNE: Based on the PWS, the contractor is required to use closed-cell spray foam.

3. Fire & Life Safety Systems

Contractor’s Question:

“Please confirm Fire Sprinkler Protection, emergency exit signs, fire alarm, etc. will not be required for these PEMB’s.”
