C = Critical CO = Coordinate S = Suggestion I = Information

Cx-001 CO = Coordinate 8/22/2022 Pre- Final Draft

01 81 13 / 01 91 00

01 81 13: 1.2 01 91 00: 1.4 General

Request verification of LEED scope. Current draft of 01 81 13 references section 01 81 13.02 for LEEDv4. This section is not currently included in the Pre-Final RFP package.

This also needs to be aligned with 01 91 00 Section 1.4 which references commissioning for LEED in general as well as the Measurement and Verification credit.

Cx-002 CO = Coordinate 8/22/2022 Pre- Final Draft

01 81 13 1.5-G-5 & 3.1-A-4 General

Recommend confirming if the Indoor Air Quality flush-out is to be a requirement for this project.

While technically achievable, the duration of flush-out can be extensive (e.g. multiple months between end of construction and occupancy) without the aid of supplemental ventilation. The ability to use supplemental ventilation is also limited by the requirement to maintain indoor temperature and humidity levels.

For reference, this section aligns with Paths 1 and 2 of LEEDv4 Indoor Air Quality Assessment Option 1 which is an optional credit under that

Cx-003 CO = Coordinate 8/22/2022 Pre- Final Draft

01 45 29 General General This specification was in generally unedited draft form when received. Will track to verify finalization of this specification.

Cx-004 CO = Coordinate 8/22/2022 Pre- Final Draft

Drawings GI002 General

The Sheet Index called Sheet GI002 or G-001 includes drawings not currently in the progress set (e.g. GI101, GI102, MEP sheets, etc.) and does not include certain drawings found in the progress set (e.g. V-101 thru V-103; B-102 and B-103).

Will track to verify finalization of Sheet Index and review additional drawings produced for the DB-RFP package.

Cx-005 CO = Coordinate 8/22/2022 Pre- Final Draft

Part 3 - Chapter 1 1.1 General

This section refers to the Pole Barn as approximately 2,500 sq. ft. Sheet A104 shows approximately 2,400 sq. ft. The discrepancy appears to be the length dimension referenced.

Cx-006 CO = Coordinate 8/23/2022 Pre- Final Draft

Part 3 - ESR MS General General

The Material Storage Bins building ESR sheets are still in progress. Will track to verify finalization of these documents.

Cx-007 CO = Coordinate 8/23/2022 Pre- Final Draft

Part 3 - Maintenance

The ESR documents received for the Honor Guard are work in progress. Will track to verify finalization of these documents.

Cx-009 CO = Coordinate 8/23/2022 Pre- Final Draft

General General GIS

Request clarification of GIS scope for this project. The 1/4/2022 Concept Design Workshop (CDW) Meeting Minutes indicate "GIS system cost will be included in estimate".

Cx-010 CO = Coordinate 8/23/2022 Pre- Final Draft

General General Architectural

The 1/4/2022 Meeting Minutes reference provision of an air curtain above door for Honor Guard building. Did not identify any requirements for this in the CDW Report or progress Pre-Final documents. Request verification if required and referenced in RFP package, if applicable.

Recommend clarifying in the DB-RFP package.

Cx-014 CO = Coordinate 8/23/2022 Pre- Final Draft

General General Fire Protection

Fire protection references in the draft documents are most explicitly related to Fire Alarm Systems and exterior Fire Hydrants. Request clarification if any sprinkler systems will be required for the Maintenance Building or Honor Guard.

Request verification of the extent of HVAC control / DDC requirements for this facility (and Maintenance Complex) and whether this system would be integrated into an existing Building Automation System. Section D302001 references BACnet communications protocol for Boilers.

8/23/2022

Per the Architect: "Our scope of work did not include the intent to design a complete centralized HVAC control (DDC) system for the maintenance building or honor guard. The idea was that the equipment that we included in the RFP document would have individual controls that would tie into the building's BAS system to be monitored only."

Cx-021 CO = Coordinate 8/22/2022 Pre- Final Draft

Part 3 - 6 ESR_D30_HG D309001 Mechanical
