5. Pre-Bid Meeting question #1

• Q. Is temporary fencing required?

• A. No, temporary fencing isn’t required.

6. Pre-Bid Meeting question #2

• Q. Who issues, or obtains the building permit?

• A. All permits will be issued from LARA. This includes the building permit. PSC has provided plans and specs to the Bureau of Construction Codes Plan Review division. Once approved the plans will be provided to the Contractor with a BCC project number, Contractor then references that number for all permit activities including scheduling of inspections.

7. Pre-Bid Meeting question #3

• Q. Can we use Romex electrical wire?

• A. Romex is acceptable for electrical wiring as long as it is in conduit. Note that all electrical wiring, including low voltage control wire, is to be in EMT conduit.

8. Pre-Bid Meeting question #4

• Q. Regarding Spec Section 06 175.3.1.K, it states that joists are not to be drilled through. But the detail for the angled supports says to drill through and attach to supports to each truss with bolts. Please advise.

• The spec section refers primarily to drilling through trusses to run conduit, or other such items, which is not acceptable. In the case of the angled supports, the truss designer/fabricator should understand that the supports will need to be attached to the trusses and take that into consideration during design/fabrication.

9. Pre-Bid Meeting question #5

• Q. Spec Section 01 030.2.(b) refers to a mechanical gate installation, is that part or this project?

• No, this project does not involve the installation of a mechanical gate, please disregard this reference.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: This Addendum must be acknowledged by the Bidder in the space provided in the Bid Summary and Bid Form. Failing to acknowledge Addenda may be cause for the Bid to be rejected. Addenda will become part of the Contract Documents.
