Attachment 0002 - Questions and Answers.pdf

Building 220:

1) Please confirm all shelving and equipment will be removed prior to installation.

A) Yes. Existing equipment will be removed by the Government prior to the contractor beginning installation of new equipment.

2) Will we be mounting through the carpet or will it be removed?

a. If removed, is carpet removal part of our scope?

A) Carpet will be removed by the Government prior to the contractor beginning installation of new equipment.

3) Does the bus duct stay that runs thru the proposed modular building space?

A) The Government will remove the bus duct prior to the contractor beginning installation of new equipment.

4) The cable tray that runs thru the proposed modular building space get removed by RIA or the contractor?

A) The cable tray will be removed by RIA-JMTC.

5) For HVAC, indication to install a condensation pump; should the condensation be pumped out the west wall indicated or will the government be responsible to route the output from the pump to a drain (similar to verbiage indicated for B335).

A) The contractor shall provide and install a condensation pump near the western outside wall, but the Government will be responsible to route the output from the pump.

Building 335:

1) Please confirm that the existing buildings and other equipment will be removed prior to installation?

A) Yes. Existing modular offices and equipment will be removed by the Government prior to the contractor beginning installation of new equipment.

2) Are the airlines attached to the columns also going to be removed ahead of time?

a. If not, do we need to include that in our scope?

A) RIA-JMTC can remove before the installation if it is required by contractor to meet the specifications.

3) The RIA will remove the existing building. Who removes the existing lights and outlets (on the columns) outside of the modular building, contractor or RIA?

A) Existing modular offices and equipment will be removed by the Government prior to the contractor beginning installation of new equipment.

4) There are 2 existing duct runs serving the existing warehouse space. These will be above the modular office and the air distribution could possibly be affected. Should these duct runs be cut back and capped before the modular office area. If that is required, will these systems need to be rebalanced?

A) The contractor will not be responsible for this.

5) There are 3 water lines that are along the columns in the 2 smaller offices. Should these water lines be demolished and the water line capped at the horizontal main pipe run above?

A) RIA-JMTC can remove before the installation if it is required by contractor to meet the specifications.

6) In the verbiage for the HVAC for this modular office, a wall mounted A/C only unit is specified. Since there are 3 offices, we want to verify 3 wall mounted units are needed? In reviewing the plan view layout it doesn’t look like there is much wall space available for these units, especially with the large office being in a corner of the warehouse. This could also be an issue for being able to service the units long term.

A) Yes, (3+) units are required. The large office space may require (2) units to maintain temperature specified in RIPD. The A/C units can be placed above the windows or the windows can be removed/relocated to accommodate A/C.

Building 212/299:

1) Please send photos of the double door and mezzanine which will be used for moving the stairs and structural steel which is too large for the elevator

A) Dimensions of the door: The door is 70.5-inch wide and 95.5-inch tall with no center post.

B) See images of the door and the balcony it connects to. (IMG_2081.jpg & IMG_2082.jpg)

2) Please confirm that the existing fence, buildings and other equipment will be removed prior to installation in 299.

A) Existing fence and equipment will be removed by the Government prior to the contractor beginning installation of new equipment. There are no buildings in the area.

3) Please confirm that the lights and heaters above the new location will be relocated prior to installation in 299, or if it is the responsibility of the contractor.

A) Existing equipment will be removed and/or relocated by the Government prior to the contractor beginning installation of new equipment.

4) The glued carpet (and wood decking) is not reusable, so we will be providing new materials for the upper level. Do you need carpet on the lower level? Or will we just install on the concrete without adding further flooring?

A) No carpet is required for the lower level. This will be installed on existing concrete and epoxy floor.

5) How do we get a forklift to the upper level of 212? Is there a ramp or is the freight elevator the only way? What is the capacity of the freight elevator?

A) The freight elevator is the only way. The capacity of the elevator is 10,000 pounds

6) Will the furniture layout on the 1st and 2nd floor be maintained in Building 299?

A) RIA-JMTC is responsible for the furniture.

7) The Comm Room was locked – are there any special power requirements in this room?

A) There are no special power requirements.

8) Can the existing 480V disconnect switch, 75 KVA transformer and 208/120V panel be relocated with the building?

A) Yes, these items are to be relocated with the building.

9) The 208/120V panel appears to serve some circuits that are not part of the building to be relocated.

Who will re-feed these circuits, contractor or RIA?

A) RIA-JMTC will be responsible.

10) There are 7 lights in the location where the building is to go – who removes these contractor or RIA?

A) RIA-JMTC will remove prior to the beginning of installation of the equipment.

11) Does power to the radiant heaters need to be removed and if so by contractor or RIA?

B212 relocate to B299:

1) Verifying this will be a 2 story configuration as is currently the case in B212?

A) Yes. The modular is to be relocated as the current configuration in B212.

2) If a 2 story, who is responsible for disconnecting/relocating the heating units mounted in the space of 299 (conflict with height of the 2 story office).

3) Assuming to reuse as much of the HVAC system as possible (2 units, ductwork and grilles/diffusers)?

A) Yes. Reuse the current system.

4) There is outside air ductwork connected to the 2 units in B212. Is the main horizontal run routed above the modular office to the north be abandoned in place?

A) They will be capped. RIA-JMTC will be responsible.

5) Assuming for all 3 modular offices, the HVAC systems will not be tied into a BAS system but will be stand alone.

A) The HVAC systems will stand alone.

Overall electrical questions & verifications:

1) We need a layout of all the panel joints so we can determine the quantity of receptacles (1 required per joint). Otherwise we can assume 1 every 48” of wall length.

A) Assume 1 every 48” of wall length

2) Verification that all data cabling and security systems will be by the RIA – removal of existing and installation of new.

A) All data cabling and security systems will be the responsibility of RIA-JMTC.

1) The only question/clarification would be is the intent of the 2 level office install in Bldg. 299? Because Exhibit C looks like it is a completely different office and location from what they showed us.

A) Exhibit C is incorrect and should be disregarded. The office is to be relocated as the current configuration in B212. And shall be installed in B299 near column G-3.
