107 At the Entry #101/Reception #102 there is profiled solid stock wood cladding @ rainscreen wall. Can you tell me the profile and what the wood is?

See RFI #46 above in Amendment #5

108 I see that there is a spec for interior signage and it calls for a sign schedule in the drawings, which it is not in the drawings.

Similarly, there is no size specifications for the cast letter signage for the Phase I building.

See 13/A6.1 on revised Architectural drawings issued in Amendment #5

109 On phase II drawings (A4.2 detail 5) calls for vinyl wall graphic signs, but no other reference is indicated. No technical specification available at this time. GC to provide for vinyl wall decal, applied to surface of overhead door. Provide for 4' tall graphic identifying each overhead door bay. Doors shall be numbered 1,2,3 and so forth. Color shall be light grey or white.

110 Are 35” high panels acceptable against the windows? If not 35” high, are 32” high panels acceptable 32 inch panels are acceptable as long as they do not block or interfere with the windows. 35 inch high panels are not acceptable.

111 Can the overhead doors recede on top of the case instead of inside the case? Would you accept a sliding door on front instead of flip up door?

This is method is acceptable.

112 Can there be an intermediary step down panel between the 60” panels and the 30” panels. Most manufacturers will not allow a connection between these height due to structural issues. Is it alright if there is an intermediary ~53” panel in between the two to eliminate any structural issues?

An intermediary step down panel (for structural issues) is acceptable in the NE corner and East wall of room 129 only. If a step down panel is required;

tempered glass shall bring the step down panel to its required full height.

113 Is it OK if there are segmented tackable/acoustical tiles on the monolithic panels? If the tiles do not go full height it will be necessary to have 2 tiles per frame.

Yes, this is acceptable.

114 The Architectural Site Plan Legend on sheet A1.0 is not correct for the Phasing considerations. The Architectural Site Plan Legend should have an additional and separate hatching for Phase 2.
