A3. No, the Contractor should just replace any missing or chipped tile and clean grout.

Q4. Landing pads (in the water) on play structure (Rhodes Jordan) appear to either be bolted/anchored in or glued to the plaster surface. Regarding these pads:

a. Are we removing these pads and chipping out the plaster under them or just chipping around them?

Q5. Will there be any disassembling of the play structure required by the contractor in order to demo and plaster the pool or are we working around the structure?

A5. Gwinnett County staff will remove the netting and covers around the post.

Q6. Life Floor: The bid talks about (4) posts, (2) pool edge lily pads, and (1) kiddy pool. To clarify, the lily pads refers to the landing in each side of the pool where the posts are and padding currently exists? For the kiddy pool, do you want to cover the entire coping edge around the kiddy pool area?

A6. Yes, the “lily pads” referred to are the landing pads on each side of the pool around the post. The kiddy pool shall have the entire coping edge covered.

Dacula, and also lane and lane target tile for Dacula?

A8. Gwinnett County will supply the tile for Rhodes Jordan Park and any tile needed for Dacula Park

Pool, as Dacula will be replace if needed and existing tile is to be saw cut and chipped out around the targets and lane lines.

A9. Yes, this is acceptable.

Q10. Under section D, plaster installation, scope states scrub bond coat into the prepared concrete surface immediately prior to plastering. This process is not done here. The bond coat is addressed in plaster preparation section B and requires curing once applied and before plastering. Please advise on correction.

A10. Correct, the bonds coat shall be dry to the touch before plastering.

Q11. Under section C, item #4, there are several tiled steps and circular bench that are out of water in area by the slide that have S812 radius nosing specialty tile. Will this area be re-done with same tile, left as is, or removed and plastered, keeping in mind that plaster is not an exposed material?

A11. This tile will be replaced if needed and cleaned and regrouted. Exposed areas are not to be plaster.

Q12. Under #2, Application of Plaster, the scope states perform slump test. We have never performed a slump test on any job including all Gwinnett awarded bids. Can this be excluded?

A12. Yes, the slump test shall be excluded from the scope of work.

Q13. Under #4, Curing, it is not our practice to fog pools while they cure because it creates cracks.

Can this be excluded?

Q14. On the deck work, under section B, caulking and sealant, are all of the deck joints being redone including joints where deck meets the various buildings?

A14. No, caulking is just for the expansion joints in the pool and the coping joint between the concrete and tile.

Q15. Can you provide us with drawings of the pools and deck areas?

A15. Please see the attached for Rhodes Jordan Park Pool. Drawings for Dacula Park Pool are not available at this time.

Q16. In areas like the Lily Pads at Rhodes where padding is being removed and changed to Life Floor product, there is 2"-3" of padding whereas Life Floor is about an inch or less. Will additional padding thickness be installed under Life Floor? Will the county accept liability for changing these areas?

A16. The LifeFloor (or approved equivalent) product to be used to replace the landing pads shall also be LifeFloor’s landing pad, so the area is equally protected. This would mean using the insulation pads and the large sheet that covers the insulation pads for these areas while the regular pads are to be used around the 4 posts for the lily pads.

Q17. Will existing slide pads be removed and replaced with new of the same, replaced with Life Floor product or reused?

A17. The existing slide pads will be reused.

Q18. Plaster Removal question for Dacula. Usually the first 100 SF of plaster tear out is included in the prep and then there is a SF price after 100 SF is met. How do we price this for Dacula so all bidders are providing same?

A18. Bidders shall include removal of 150 square feet. Please see the Revised Bid Schedule attached for the Unit Price Schedule. Provide a unit price per square foot for plaster removal beyond 150

sq. ft. The total price for the unit price items shall be included in the Base Bid total for Line Item #2 (Pool Renovations at Dacula Park Pool).

Tiles to be replaced if needed, due to being chipped, cracked, or missing.

Q20. Life Floor: Do you have a “spec’d” sq ft that you want vendors to quote or just our interpretation of the drawings in the RFP?

A20. LifeFloor shall cover the existing areas and the entire coping edge of the kiddy pool. The contractor is responsible for taking accurate measurements of these areas.

Q21. Waterline tile, racing lane tile, trim tile, depth tile…The vendors are providing that material, correct?

A21. Yes.

Q22. Dacula Park Pool- plaster hollow spots. It’s impossible to determine how much hollow/delaminated plaster there will be until the pool is empty and the surface area can be evaluated. Are we to include a certain percentage of the total plaster area in our cost and then price additional hollow removal per sf?

A22. Bidders shall include removal of 150 square feet. Please see the Revised Bid Schedule attached for the Unit Price Schedule. Provide a unit price per square foot for plaster removal beyond 150
