Amendment No. 000001, dated 06/17/2016

Missoula Fire Sciences Lab Mechanical Upgrade Project

Solicitation Number AG-82FT-S-16-0015 Amendment 000001 – Questions and Answers

Q1.) I am inquiring about the Missoula Fire Sciences Lab Mechanical Upgrade project. I am hoping you can tell me whether or not you anticipate lab casework and equipment as part of the specs on this?

A1.) Refer to Attachment 1 “Volume 1 Divisions 0-22” Specification 12 – FURNISHINGS, 123553 LABORATORY CASEWORK AND COUNTERTOPS. Also, refer to all contract drawings.

Q2.) In 260519-2.1 (conductors and cables) section D states: "Type MC. For use in existing walls and lighting whips." In 260519-3.2 (Applications and wiring methods) section C, Branch circuits, states:

"single conductors in raceway, Metal-clad cable, Type MC. Please clarify if Type MC cable may be used for all branch circuit applications or only in existing walls and as lighting whips A1.) Contractor should conceal raceway wherever possible. MC cable is only acceptable for any branch circuits located inside existing walls where fishing is required or for lighting whips. EMT is required for all branch circuits that are not concealed or that are surface mounted on solid walls. All homeruns shall be in

EMT.
