Answer: “Sanitation District No. 1 Storm Water Rules and Regulations, June 2020” and “Storm Water Best Practices Manual, February 2012” are the SD1 documents that describe the stormwater requirements that need to be met. These include water quantity, peak flow, and quality requirements. They can be found at sd1.org/213/Permitting-Other-Requirements. The requirements for the underground detention basins are to meet these performance requirements.

Specific design features for the underground detention will need to be determined by the manufacturer and sent to SD1 for approval. The Burlington FMS Stormwater Report will be included in the next Addendum.

Question: Paint: 099123-2.5-A Floor sealer spec says "clear water-based acrylic-copolymer-emulsion sealer formulated for oil gas alkali water resistant", I do not know this product exists, can a Sherwin Williams (or similar) product be clarified as the basis of design? Closest product Sherwin Williams has is "wet-look" which is solvent based.

Answer: In addition to the available manufacturers listed add the following as a basis of design:

W.R. MEADOWS VOCOMP-20 water-based, acrylic, concrete curing and sealing compound for fresh concrete.

4.26. Question: Roofing: Spec section for EPDM 075323-5 section 2.2 reads a thickness of 90 mils.

4.27. Question: Fencing Per 323113.53-G1 – Lists 9 ga and 6 ga stainless steel for wire ties. (1) Steel Wire Ties are available in 11ga only (as far as I know), not 9ga or 6ga. I don’t think it would be possible for us to use a 6ga wire in steel to tie the fence off. Can this be clarified?

Answer: Steel Wire Ties will need to be a minimum of 6 ga or 9 ga. 11 ga is also acceptable.

4.28. Question: Is fencing required to utilize domestic steel? ASTM F1043 and ASTM F1083 is usually the indicator for Domestic Steel, but is clearly stated. The difference in cost would add ~40% if domestic steel is required

Answer: No, domestic steel is not a requirement.

4.29. Question: The Cantilever Gate is some kind of Track System. Can a manufacturer/make be provided? Currently no vendors want to quote with concerns of warranty (as system is not used in midwest climate, or outdoor applications. More used for airplane hangers or inside warehouses.

Snow, ice and debris will get in the track and cause the gate to either come out of track or be inoperable) Schedule 40 Full Weight Pipe is listed but typically will include weights per LF in the spec. This does not list weights per LF

Answer: Bid cantilever gate as shown.

4.30. Question: Looks like the Sunshades are spelled out on the drawings. May want to include the verbiage about the alternate and materials/finishes in the storefront specifications.

Answer: Sunshade finish is defined on sheet A300. Refer to Exterior Finish Schedule: Basis of Design. Sunshade color shall be: SANDSTONE to match the storefront. Bid as indicated.

Answer: Correct, the circle symbols on CS103B are bollards

4.33. Question: On the ES001 drawings, it appears the generator and transformer are shown to be installed above the sanitary sewer lines. Please confirm routing of utilities in this area.

Answer: Refer to detail 2 “Enlarged Electrical Site Plan, sheet ES001, shows sanitary line skating the edged of the concrete pad. Contractor is to coordinate exact routing of the line.

4.34. Question: Div 8 Will the wood doors need to be AWI certified and “FSC Pure”?

4.35. Question: Drawing E701 shows a 1200 amp CT Cabinet. Duke Energy usually installs the

CT’s inside their transformer. Is there a need for the CT Cabinet?

Answer: If Duke installs the CTs in the transformer there is no need for the CT cabinet.

4.36. Question: Drawing E701 has a feeder schedule and key notes that references wire type to be THWN, but General Note P calls for all emergency feeders to be MI Cable. Which note is correct?

4.44. Question: Spec Section 075600-1.1 Summary Section A - Cold Applied PMMA/PMA flashings. PMMA Flashings are for BUR and SBS membrane products not EPDM membrane products, is this applicable? Does not seem that a roof assembly with BUR or SBS sheets are on the project

Addendum 2 Page 8 of 8

4.45. Question: Detail 8/A161 calls for Multi-purpose flashing cement. This will eat through the EPDM membrane and should only have Bonding adhesive in this location per manufacturer. Is this referring to flashing cement as bonding adhesive in these locations?

4.46. Question: In regards to site access, during the site walkthrough it was indicated from the folks at the walk through that construction traffic was expected to come off Gateway Blvd., across their north lot, through the secured rear lot (wit with a GC supplied temporary fence separating traffic from secured area – they mentioned moving items to within the secure area), and utilizing the drive that exists in the construction area. This would be extremely ideal for the project and also reduce risk of track out / construction traffic on Conrad. If we utilize rear of site, the track out would be knocked off for the most part prior to leaving site. Looking to clarify this and the virtual meeting seemed to not exactly clarify.

Answer: Refer to revised sheet CE101 EPSC Plan West.

4.47. Question: Provide Specification for the site flagpoles

4.48. Question: 055000 Does not mention the steel work benches and POL tables in the warehouse. Are these Contractor Furnished/Contractor installed. If so, do they get painted?

4.50. Question: See below for questions regarding air barrier at the outbuildings and roof parapet detail.

4.51. Question: There is an existing retaining wall where the new retaining wall is proposed to be built. Do we demolish the old to build the new? If so, how big is footer and how much goes underneath existing road?
