Addendum 1 RP030-22, Development of Private/Corporate Hangar Building(s) at the Gwinnett County Airport Central Basing Area

Questions:

Q1. Does the vendor need to rent all 11 acers or is proposing on a smaller section acceptable?

A1. No, the vendor does not need to rent all 11 acres. As stated in Section II – Scope of Proposals, Item 3 – Site

Description “Any development that does not occupy the entire 11 acres must provide for sharing the central ramp area and taxi-lane with additional hangar tenants. It is the intent of the County/Authority to place multiple hangars on the site if any single development is not large enough to occupy the entire site.”

Q2. There is evidence of recent borings in the central basing area; please provide details of the scope of work completed and any available formal reports.

A2. The airport is not aware of any recent borings. Without knowing specifically what is being referred to, it is suspected that this question is referring to pavement core samples that were removed for testing. Core sampling is a requirement on any grant funded paving project to ensure that the pavement meets specifications and is eligible for reimbursement. The pavement did meet specifications and was designed to support a Gulfstream 550 size aircraft.

Q3. Has the County explored design and cost opinions for the access driveway and or deceleration lane?

A3. No.

Q4. Please provide the Sustainable Design Check List A4. See Attached.

Q5. Is the County aware of the timeline of the GDOT 0013893 improvements?

A5. It is the airport’s understanding that Right of Way acquisition has been authorized and construction is tentatively scheduled for 2024.

Q6. Do you know when they plan to award the contract? Also, will that info be published?

A6. It is Gwinnett County’s intent to award this proposal in 2022. However, no definite date has been set and the

Board of Commissioners will have final approval of award. Award information will be posted on Gwinnett County’s website.

Acknowledge receipt of this addendum on the Firm Information page of the RFP document.

Sincerely, Lindsey Gravitt Purchasing Associate II

Dispose deicer-laden stormwater to publicly owned off-site treatment works (POTWs) that use biological processes to break down glycols and other organic constituents of deicing runoff.

Use an on-site biological system for treating deicing runoff to concentrations acceptable for discharge to surface waters or the sanitary sewer, including: a moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) system; a sequencing batch reactor system; a reciprocating subsurface treatment system; or a anaerobic fluidized bed reactor (FBR) system.

Use a natural treatment system (NTS) to treat runoff impacted by aircraft and airfield deicers. NTSs use soil, water, and plant ecosystems to remove pollutants through physical, chemical, and biological processes.

Use membrane filtration to physically separate glycol/deicer dissolved substances to increase the concentrate reject stream on the basis of molecular size.

Use recovered glycol as “feed stock” for products such as coolants, coatings, paints, and plastics. Recovered glycol may be reformulated as aircraft-deicing fluid after meeting all SAE AMS 1424 specifications. Other airport uses for recovered glycol include anti-freeze for maintenance trucks and aircraft lavatory fluid.

Landscape and Exterior Design

Landscape and Exterior Design to Reduce Heat Islands, Non-Roof

308 Establish and follow sustainable airside landscape guidelines.

309 Establish and follow sustainable landside landscape guidelines.

Provide structured parking in lieu of asphalt paved surface lots. This provides additional 'green' areas and reduces stormwater runoff from roofs and potentially the size of storm sewer systems. Parking structures may also provide space for housing solar systems.

311 Specify non-toxic, non-chemical materials for initial landscape planting and fertilization.

312 Avoid planting vegetation that requires regular maintenance with pesticides.

313 Top-dress soil with compost to decrease fertilizer and irrigation needs, to control erosion, and to retain moisture.

314 Spot treat landscape problem areas instead of chemically treating a larger area than necessary.

315 Design infrastructure for composting methods that accommodates the anticipated waste levels.

316 Use pavement materials that have a high Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) of at least 29.

Substitute vegetated surfaces for impervious surfaces wherever possible. Vegetated areas reduce the heat island effect through plant transpiration.

Implement landscaping specifications that are low-maintenance, drought resistant, and non-wildlife attracting.

Consider xeriscaping, a landscape design tailored to withstand drought conditions.

319 Install trees to provide shade for dark colored impervious surfaces.

Have the building service contractors provide a monthly log of all of the low-impact landscape management techniques implemented.

Landscape & Exterior Design to Reduce Heat Islands, Roof

321 Install a vegetated green roof system to reduce the heat island effect and to reduce stormwater runoff from buildings.

Install high reflectance/high albedo roofing materials with a high solar reflectance index (SRI), as described in the ASTM E 1980 standard. Low-sloped roofs (slope <= 2:12) should have a SRI value of 78 or above; steep-sloped roofs (slope > 2:12) should have a SRI value greater than 29.

Install a Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC) rated roof product or an Energy Star cool roof with equivalent reluctance and emittance properties (visit www.energystar.gov/).

324 Use a non-asphalt-based single-ply roofing membrane with high emittance properties.

325 Apply high reflectance coating to the surface of a conventional roof membrane.

326 Utilize a combination of vegetated and high albedo roof

Light Pollution Reduction

327 Minimize site lighting where possible (maintain light use for safety, access, and building identification).

328 Monitor lighting systems regularly to maintain proper illumination and minimize off-site impacts.

Meet or provide lower light levels and uniformity ratios than those recommended by the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) Recommended Practice Manual:

Lighting for Exterior Environments (RP-33-99).

Adopt site lighting criteria to maintain appropriate/adequate light levels while avoiding off-site lighting and night sky pollution.

Ensure that the maximum candela value of all interior lighting falls within the building (not out through windows) and the maximum candela value of all exterior lighting falls within the property.

332 Model the site lighting using a computer model to establish a baseline level and evaluate benefits.

Utilize full cutoff luminaries, low-reflectance, non-specular surfaces and low-angle spotlights for roadway and building lighting.

334 Develop greenbelts along the airport perimeter as an attractive light and noise buffer between the airport and the community.

Where acceptable, use High Pressure Sodium (HPS) lamps instead of Metal Halide (MH) lamps; HPS Lamps produce more lumens per watt, have less mercury content per lamp, and have a greater average rated life expectancy than MH lamps.

336 Use high frequency electronic ballasts with fluorescent 2, 4, and 8-foot Tubular lamps that do not contain mercury.

337 Install self-dimming fluorescent lamp ballasts.

338 Specify strict site lighting criteria and update periodically in conjunction with seasonal daylight fluctuations.

339 Coordinate electrical lighting scenarios with daylight strategies.

340 Install recyclable lamps and provide recycling information for all luminaries.

Ensure that all openings in the building envelope (translucent or transparent) with a direct line of sight to any nonemergency luminaries have shielding that is controlled/closed by an automatic device between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m.

342 Focus light toward the earth to minimize night-sky pollution.

Water Efficient Landscaping

343 Where possible, avoid installing any type of irrigation system.

344 Avoid installing an irrigation system supplied by potable water.

Install high-efficiency irrigation systems (if irrigation is a necessity) with a slow-drip, sub-soil irrigation and automated linkages to meteorological data.

346 Perform a soil and climate analysis to determine the appropriate landscape strategy.

347 Plant drought-resistant vegetation that does not attract wildlife.

348 Segregate drought-resistant vegetation from conventional and ornamental vegetation (non-wildlife attracting).

349 Use mulching and composting around plant root zones to increase water retention.

350 Increase plant shade to retain water.

Energy Efficiency and Atmosphere Systems Commissioning

351 Develop and utilize a systems commissioning plan.

352 Identify an individual to lead the commissioning process early on.

Establish and follow systems commissioning requirements consistent with sustainable design to ensure optimal performance of systems. Consider the following systems:

central building automation; HVAC equipment; lighting controls and sensors; site lighting; refrigeration systems; vertical transport; building envelope; emergency power generators and automatic transfer switching; uninterruptible power supply systems; life safety systems (i.e., fire alarms); Egress pressurization; lightning protection, domestic and process water pumping and mixing systems; sound control systems;

data and communication systems; paging systems; security systems; irrigation systems; plumbing.

354 Implement or have a contract in place to implement best practice commissioning procedures.

355 Review the design intent and the basis of design documentation for proper systems commissioning.

356 Provide the airport owner with a single manual that contains the information required for recommissioning systems.

Engage a commissioning team that does not include individuals directly responsible for project design or construction management to evaluate both building and site systems as part of the commissioning plan.

358 For support and ancillary buildings, follow all of the applicable systems commissioning requirements and assemblies.

Establish and follow systems commission requirements for runway lighting and illuminated signage, runway NAVAIDS, runway site lighting systems, traffic signals, pump stations, and oil/water separators.

360 Incorporate commissioning requirements into the construction documents.

361 Complete a systems commissioning report.

362 Include recommissioning of affected systems as part of any building modification or addition.

363 Recommission systems when building energy usage deviates from the planned energy usage.
