ATTACHMENT “A”

Questions Received from Industry

Please note that only answers provided via an amendment are the official answers to any questions.

163 “I would like to inquire on what drawings does it show restoration of stucco as described in Spec section 09225 “Stucco”. I cannot seem to find any areas other one small one that call out for this material.”

The new stucco work includes a stucco soffit indicated on Sheet A2.01, sequence number 40, Ground Floor Reflected Ceiling Plan – Area ‘A’, south of column line 8, between column lines “O” and “R”, and on Wall Section 3 on Sheet A8.02, sequence number 59, Wall Sections.

164 Questions 164 – 167 are regarding the leased trailers:

“In the floor plan layout of both building.

It shows that the building do not have support columns. But in this section it shows that beam span is less then 16 foot. This puts a support column every 16 feet through out the building. This is going to interfere with interior space. In the original spec the buildings were clear span and provided an open environment.”

The trailer floor plan is illustrative. The trailer manufacturer must add the necessary structural elements, and may tweak the interior trailer layouts, maintaining the minimum office sizes and workstation sizes and functionality.

165 “Is painted Dura temp siding acceptable in-lieu of the vinyl specified in 2.2 for the exterior walls.”

Substitutions will be reviewed and considered during shop drawing submittal.

166 “The interior doors in 2.7 call out for hollow core doors in-lieu of solid core with steel jambs.“

Minimum requirement is for hollow core doors. Substitutions will be reviewed and considered during shop drawing submittal.

167 “ Electrical calls out for 208 3 phase where trailers are manufactured to 220v single phase. Is the existing distribution panel able to support single phase power?”

Electrical service at 120/208 volts, 3 phase, 4 wire will work. Trailer manufacturer must supply necessary panels and breakers. Verify trailer loads are adequate for 600 Amp service.
