SK-002 – Exterior Canopy Area Reduction, Dated 11/25/19, Sheet 1.

(b) Addenda to Drawings, Maps, Specifications, and/or Statements of Work:

1. Drawing 79K40378 Sheets AD-101, A-101, and MD-101: The existing GSPN Console Area in Room 1020 must remain operational and be protected for the duration of construction until the new GSPN Console is functionally tested and has had an operational burn-in period. “SK-001 – Protection of GSPN Console” shows the level of protection required for the existing GSPN Console. This area will require a self-supporting temporary wall allowing access to the GSPN Console, Room 1022, and Room 1027. This will also require a temporary ceiling that is self-supporting over the console area. This enclosed space must be conditioned to 70 +/- 4 degrees Fahrenheit and kept between 40% and 60% relative humidity. The temporary space must be at a positive pressure to the adjacent spaces. The temporary HVAC for this enclosed space must be continually provided 24 hours per day, 7 days per week without any significant downtime. The space will require temporary lighting on a circuit that can remain in place until the time at which the temporary wall and ceiling can be removed. Temporary lighting must be equivalent to current lighting for operations. The contractor shall submit a shop drawing (add submittal item Temporary Enclosure of GSPN Console; G under Specification 79K40379 Section 01 50 00) for approval detailing the temporary enclosure, HVAC, and lighting. The temporary enclosure, HVAC, and lighting must be installed, inspected, and approved prior to demolition starting in Room 1020.

2. Drawing 79K40378 Sheet AD-101, AD-121, and A-101: There are existing communications and power cables in conduit, cable tray, and routed exposed above ceiling in Room 1020 and some adjacent spaces that must remain independently supported and in service while the demolition occurs. Not all cables are clearly labeled above ceiling. Many of these cables are critical to the functionality of the GSPN Console that allow monitoring and control of the GHe and GN2 distribution and usage from the CCF. Submit a shop drawing (add submittal item Temporary Support of Cables; G under Specification 79K40379 Section 01 50 00) identifying how cables will be temporary supported, associated existing conditions, and any impacts to demolition or new work.

3. Drawing 79K40378 Sheets C-121, A-102, A-201, and S-002: The area of the canopy required to be provided per these drawing sheets is reduced as shown in “SK-002 – Canopy Area Reduction” to account for the existing LHe pump and vaporizer that must remain operational and in place during the construction performance period.

4. Drawing 79K40378 Sheet C-101: Flag Note E is considered to include disposal of the light pole and concrete base in addition to what is stated.

5. Drawing 79K40378 Sheet C-101: Flag Note G is considered to include disposal of the panel and concrete foundation in addition to what is stated.

6. Drawing 79K40378 Sheet C-121: CGTs and Hydropacs shown will not be in place during construction activities. LHe Tankers will require access to the existing valve yard during construction similar to the location shown on this sheet. As shown on the MP Sheets, existing connections for LHe Tankers are to remain.

7. Drawing 79K40378 Sheet AD-141: For the existing vent stack, handling of lead materials shall comply with Specification 79K40379 Section 02 82 33.13 20.

8. Drawing 79K40378 Sheet FP-102: Add Flag Note J. Flag Note J points to the west exterior wall in Zone E8 of the drawing sheet. Flag Note J states, “INSTALL A DRY SIDEWALL

SPRINKLER RATED FOR EXTERIOR USE THROUGH THE WEST EXTERIOR WALL

OF EQUIPMENT ROOM 1000 ABOVE THE NORTH DOOR TO PROTECT THE NEW

COVERED WALKWAY AT THE BUILDING ENVELOPE.”

9. Drawing 79K40378 Sheet FA-102 and FA-601: Add a Low Temperature Sensor on the west wall of West Equipment Room 1000. Add a Low Temperature Sensor on the east of wall of East Equipment Room 1040. Low Temperature Sensors shall be UL listed for compatibility with the fire alarm control panel, have a configurable temperature setting, and include all components (modules, conduit, wiring, etc.) required for monitoring by the fire alarm control panel. Include Low Temperature Sensors in shop drawings and product data submittals required by Specification 79K40379 Section 28 31 00.00 98. The Low Temperature Sensors shall report a supervisory signal at the fire alarm control panel and have their own zone on the radio transmitter for reporting to the Central Radio Monitoring System.

10. Specification 79K40379 Section 28 31 00.00 98 Subpart 2.2.1: Add Duct Smoke Detector for Zone 5. Add Low Temperature Sensors for Zone 6.

(c) "Or Equal" Items”

Throughout the technical specifications and drawings of this contract, where certain manufacturers’ trade names and model numbers are specified and followed by the term "or equal," the manufacturer's name and data as specified shall represent the minimum standard type, quality, and capacity acceptable for incorporation into the work covered by this contract.

The products of other manufacturers will be considered as being acceptable, provided that such products fully meet or exceed all minimum structural or use and operational features of the particular manufacturers’ items as specified, and provided that the other manufacturers’ items are easily interchangeable and can be adequately incorporated within the allocated space in the building or structure. In all cases, the acceptability of "or equal" items shall be at the Contracting Officer's discretion, based upon data submitted by the Contractor in accordance with the requirements under the Shop Drawings Clause.

(d) Omissions from the drawings or specifications, or the omission or misdescription of details of work which are manifestly necessary to carry out the intent of the drawings and specifications, or which are customarily performed, shall not relieve the Contractor from performing such omitted or misdescribed details of the work but they shall be performed as if fully and correctly set forth and described in the drawings and specifications.

(e) The Contractor shall check all drawings furnished him immediately upon their receipt and shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer of any discrepancies. Figures marked on drawings shall in general be followed in preference to scale measurements. Large scale drawings shall in general govern small scale drawings. The Contractor shall compare all drawings and verify the figures before laying out the work and will be responsible for any errors which might have been avoided thereby.

C. 3 REQUEST FOR INFORMATION/CLARIFICATION (RFIC) (JAN 2018)

The Contractor shall promptly report to the Contracting Officer all problems or conflicting technical information encountered during the contract performance so that the Government may provide solutions or appropriate direction. Such problems shall be reported on KSC Form No. 8- 268, "Request for Information/Clarification," to be provided by the Government. A copy of each RFIC will be provided to the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) concurrently with the transmittal to the Contracting Officer. The Contractor shall log and control each Request for Information/Clarification (RFI/C), including those generated by subcontractors.

C. 4 DEVIATIONS AND WAIVERS (JAN 2018)

(a) When the Contractor proposes to perform work which does not conform to the requirements of the applicable contract drawings and specifications, the Contractor shall submit to the Contracting Officer for approval, a written request for deviation or request for waiver on the nonconforming work.

(b) All requests by the Contractor shall be submitted on KSC Form 50-314 (Contractor Request

For Deviation/Waiver) including an offer of consideration to the Government. The request must be technically supported by justification, rationale, design considerations, calculations and other data which permits ready and conclusive evaluation by the Government as to acceptability or nonacceptability.

(c) Where a requested deviation or waiver on a particular aspect of the work has a relation to, or affects, other aspects of the work, those other aspects of the work shall be clearly identified and referenced. And, if the requested deviation or waiver necessitates a deviation or waiver on other aspects, requests for all such deviations and waivers must be submitted concurrently.

(d) Any request not submitted in strict accordance with this provision will not be considered.
