Amendment A00002 dated 08/08/2024

a. Warranty: Warranty calls for a 5-year workmanship with a 5-year finish. The standard warranty for this is 2-year workmanship with a 5-year finish. Please correct.

b. 2.02 Basis of Design is 451T. Kawneer 450 (1-3/4” x 4-1/2”) is used for ¼” glazing for the interior. Please clarify if this is acceptable.

c. 2.10 Finish: List a clear anodized finish. The existing building is dark bronze anodized. Please clarify that clear anodized is correct finish.

d. 3.04 Field Quality Control/A. Storefront Manufacture required for install. This is not a normal in the industry and can create additional costs and schedule delays. Please omit.

e. 3.04 Field Quality Control/D and E Air and Water tests. This will create additional costs. In past projects the owner usually covers the cost of the testing agency. This is usually dictated in section 014000, however there is no spec section 014000. Please clarify who is responsible for field testing costs or if testing is required.

b. No, we would accept 451 (not thermally broken) for the interior storefront sections. 451 (minus T) can accept ¼" glazing and the frame will match the exterior.

c. Yes, clear anodized is the correct finish.

d. Ok to Omit this requirement.

e. Ok to Omit this requirement.

a. 1.10 Warranty: Lists 20-year finish. This warranty should be the same as 084313 Aluminum-Framed Storefronts, 5 -year finish. A 20 year finish is not possible for an anodized finish.

b. 2.07 Hardware: Lists several hardware options for the windows (Cam Handle, Roto Operator, Key and lock, Pull Ring). Please clarify what kind of hardware is desired for the aluminum windows.

b. Manufacturer's Standard hinge with limit stop. Cast White Bronze Access Control (Custodial) Locks with Removable Handle.

a. Openings A2620 and A2863B as 4’-10” x 7’-0” doors. Doors cannot exceed 4’-0”. Are these openings suppose to be a pair of unequal door leaves? The floor plan shows a single swinging door. Please clarify what is desired at these openings.

b. Opening 2863B shows hardware set 2 in the door schedule. However, in 087100 door 2863B is found under set 6.0. Please clarify what is the correct hardware set.

b. Per the hardware schedule provided in the specification section.

1.05 Applicator Qualifications: Roofing installer shall have the following:

a. Current Elevate Master Contractor status or equal by other manufacturers. Many are certified with Elevate, just not master contractor status.

b. At least ten years experience in installing specified system. Some have a documented 6 -9 years experience.

c. Capability to provide payment and performance bond to building owner. What is this actually asking for?

d. Shall have a fully staffed office within 150 miles of the job site. I am not sure this is even possible in SD. We have contractors often coming from Minneapolis or Omaha Nebraska. Hundreds of miles away.

e. Contractors are saying that the specific 3” standing seam on the metal roofing is a special order product that comes from the factory. They are suggesting a standard 1-½” standing seam vs. the 3”

b. Same as above.

c. Not applicable for this project as roofing contractor will be a subcontractor to the prime contractor.

d. Yes, this makes sense, especially with the remote nature of the site. We can drop or increase the distance of this proximity requirement.

e. Stay with the specified product. The seam is three inches tall to help with wind uplift, hail resistance, and resistance against structural deformation. All of these items were design criteria when we discussed replacement of these panels. I've attached tech data based on the design product for your reference. See A2-3 Centria SRS3 Roof-Tech-Data.

See the B01 RFP pdf at Section B - Notes and B.2, Section H – H.48, and Section I 52.229-3.

understanding of the technical requirements.”

Amendment A00003 - TBD

At this time, the only information we have been provided in reference to Infection Control Risk requirements is on drawing GC101.1. We do not have a clear understanding of what may be required in the above-mentioned plans and the costs associated with the implementation. Can a copy of the ILSM, ICRA, and PCRA be provided prior to award to help us understand the requirements and the associated costs to implement these plans?

b. Will the Standing Seam Roof panels be segmented or tapered? Same detail as in the question above. This appears to show 5’ long sections being segmented, therefore tapered panels aren’t necessary. This will need to be clarified for the weathertight warranty and tapered panels are more costly.
