Will this work be considered in the Base Bid or a Bid Option? Please clarify and expand on the intent of this note.

Answer: All wall and ceiling surfaces (including columns) are to be prepped and painted as part of the base scope of work except where work is broken-out off the base scope into Options (from Addendum #1). Work noted as Option #6 and Option #7 would include the wall/ceiling prep and painting as part of those options and that scope would not be included in the base bid work.

Answer: GSA has no further contact information for this person.

Q17. Electrical Key Note E14 states that the EC is to provide an Exhaust/Ventilation system. This equipment would fall under HVAC contractors scope of work...wired by the electrical contractor.

Please provide amperage, voltage and number of poles(Wires) that we are to include in our base bid.

Answer: This is temporary ventilation and exhaust to control dust caused by demolition and construction activities. The GC will need to propose a system to accomplish this as part of their logistics and dust control plan, implement the system and remove it at the end of construction.

Q18. Clarification is needed for the video camera that is to be installed in the ComEd vault. i.e. Is this a stand alone system or is it to be connected to the building’s CCTV system? If it is to be connected to an existing system, please indicate head end location, dome or bullet type camera and location of camera. Will a monitor be required? Is this a temporary camera or is it to remain after the construction is completed?

Answer: This is a temporary, stand-alone system requested by ComEd, requirements of the system will have to be coordinated with ComEd.

Q19. Clarification is needed for the “Tunnel” lights that we are to install inside the ComEd vault. Please provide a detail for this apparatus.

Answer: These are temporary lights requested by ComEd to insure the ComEd vault is adequately lit during construction.

Q20. We could not access the ComEd vault during the pre-bid meeting. Are pictures available of all areas in the vault that work is to occur?

Answer: Photos are available and attached.

Answer: If that grate is of the size that dictates confined space then those requirements will apply. All OSHA standards must be upheld.

Answer: Electrical and low voltage work at the exterior of the building is not currently part of the project. If any existing electrical or low voltage systems are disturbed as a result of the Contractor’s work, they will be responsible for replacing that work.
