94 1.7 1.7.1.1.2 & 1.7.1.1.2.1

Is paragraph 1.7.1.1.2.1 only applicable if concrete panels are selected?

The RFP requirement for the inner stud wall is applicable to PIP concrete walls, site-cast tilt-up concrete wall panels, precast concrete wall panels and unit masonry walls which, when constructed, are considered to be concrete walls.

7 4/11/2023 Haskell

94 1.7 1.7.1.1.2 & 1.7.1.1.2.1

A-101 appears to indicate where cold formed / gypsum walls are required on the first floor if concrete masonry units are utilized.

Paragraph 1.7.1.1.2.1 suggests that a "stud perimeter wall construction is shown around the perimeter of the multi-story structure on all floor levels". Is the intent of the RFP to require metal stud/ gypsum walls on the perimeter walls of all floors if concrete panels are selected for the envelope?

If an acceptable alternate choice, CIP, precast, or tilt-up concrete construction, is selected for the exterior walls, the entire exterior building envelope including finishes, waterproofing, insulation and installation of utilities must be designed for the material selected. The inner stud wall is an RFP requirement as shown on conceptual floor plans. In those spaces where the inner wall is not shown at the exterior on the drawing, an inner wall or other design solution may be selected to meet the insulation and utility requirements and be in compliant with Electrical Specification section 1.13.2..1.5 which addresses wiring runs.

The Small Business Subcontracting Plan will apply to the NMACC III capacity of $4B 002

23 4/13/2023 Brasfield & Gorrie

01800-1.10.2.1 Section 1.10.2.1 instructs Offerors to include a fire pump. Can offerors assume that the electrical service resiliency will permit an electric pump, or should offerors include a diesel fire pump?

No, offerors should not assume that per NFPA 20

24 4/13/2023 Brasfield & Gorrie

01800-1.10.2.1

Section 1.10.2.1 instructs Offerors to include a fire pump, but the RFP plans do not provide a location with sufficient space.

Please either (A) identify an area within the building suitable for housing the fire pump and appurtenances; or (B) advise if the fire pump should be housed in a premanufactured housing outside of the building footprint.

The Individual Space Criterial Sheet for the conceptual Mechanical space states that that space is the primary location for 1st floor mechanical equipment including any air compressor and fire suppression equipment . It also states that the space can be subdivided for equipment types as required. Mechanical spaces shown on conceptual plans are not based on specific equipment systems and/or equipment and are entirely subjective. Such space can be enlarged, reduced, separated, subdivided, or reconfigured to meet the requirements of the final design systems equipment and service access requirements.

25 4/13/2023 Brasfield & Gorrie

A-101

RFP plans do not show an exterior door at Electrical room 137.

Please either (A) confirm this is acceptable; or (B) confirm that Offerors should reconfigure the floor plan/layout to provide an exterior door.

The RFP conceptual floor plan shows the electrical room access from the building interior from the Fitness Center and indirectly from the exterior through the Mechanical space. Inside access is desirable because of the severe winters in Buffalo. Exterior access is not required but is not precluded either. If the offeror/DOR determines that direct exterior access to the electrical equipment room is beneficial or a required design requirement, they are encouraged to provide that capability. 002

26 4/13/2023 Brasfield & Gorrie

01800-1.7.1.1.2

If alternative exterior wall systems are utilized as prescribed in 01800-1.7.1.1.1, 1.7.1.1.2, please confirm that inner studs are not required at locations shown in the briding docs as exposed CMU (since these rooms will have exposed conduit/piping as currently designed in the RFP plans).

If an acceptable alternate choice, CIP, precast, or tilt-up concrete construction, is selected for the exterior walls, the entire exterior building envelope including finishes, waterproofing, insulation and installation of utilities must be designed for the material selected. The inner stud wall is an RFP requirement as shown on conceptual floor plans. In those spaces where the inner wall is not shown at the exterior on the drawing, an inner wall or other design solution may be selected to meet the insulation and utility requirements and be in compliant with Electrical Specification section 1.13.2..1.5 which addresses wiring runs.

28 4/13/2023 Brasfield & Gorrie

A-201

If alternative exterior wall systems are utilized as prescribed in 01800-1.7.1.1.1, 1.7.1.1.2, & 1.7.1.1.3, please confirm the offeror may replicate façade details such as the horizontal banding within the materiality of the proposed system.

1.7.7.5.1

01800-1.7.7.5.1 says that openings labeled "light panels" on the RFP elevations are fixed windows, but 1.7.7.6.1 says these openings are glass block panels. The ISCS for the BMWB and ANT BMWB call for the light panels to be translucent sandwich panels. Which material is required for the light panels?

The design intent is to allow natural light into the into the BMWB through a light panel that will be insulative, wind resistant, and easy to maintain. Glass block is an acceptable choice because it is strong, insulative, and requires minimal maintenance. The irregular patterned glass surface also produces a dispersed interior light. Translucent panels are an acceptable choice for the same reasons.

Fixed windows are an acceptable selection but they do not provide a dispersed light and they are not easy to clean when placed high in a space.

Multiple RFP Attachments

Upon review of the RFP documents, it is evident that AECOM provided AE1 services to support the development of the Final Geotechnical Investigation Report for USCG Sector Buffalo. Due to AECOM’s involvement in the development of the RFP documents, it would appear this represents a conflict of interest. Due to this apparent conflict of interest, AECOM should not be eligible for award of the Buffalo Recapitalize Phase III seed project, under 70Z04721RNMACC03. We request that the USCG review these circumstances and make a formal determination of organizational conflict of interest with the AECOM team. It is respectfully requested that the Coast Guard make a determination regarding potential conflict of interest prior to the proposal due date.
