This is created by using air-impermeable insulation such as rigid foam board on top of the roof sheathing or by using closed-cell spray foam insulation on the underside of the roof sheathing.

DELETE: RFI Response #30 clarification text

ADD: The following RFI Response #30 clarification text:

“RFP states ‘The minimum acceptable R-Value for all roofs or ceilings that cover conditioned spaces is R-49.’

This language is standard for building codes which typically refer to roof or ceiling R-values because it allows designers to adhere to building code while allowing for different attic designs. This RFP is prescriptive in requiring an unvented attic, however: Reference Section 01800, 1.7.2.3.11 for additional requirements.”

9 2-Oct-24 Upon speaking to the NY Building and Construction Trades Council (NYBCTC), it is a lengthy process to get an executed Project Labor Agreement in place to include in our proposal. As of 10/1/24, we are still working to get a draft PLA from the NYBCTC. Once received, it will need to be reviewed and comments submitted to the NYBCTC, then negotiated, then approved by all the local trade unions, and then sent to DC for final approval by the North American Building Trades Unions, NABTU, (NYBCTC's parent company). Once we have a final PLA, we need to have our bidding subcontractors agree to the PLA prior to submitting our price proposal. This process can easily take two months from receipt of the draft PLA.
