Re-cabling Antenna Towers, Chattanooga, TN

THIS AMENDMENT IS BEING ISSUED TO INCORPORATE THE FOLLOWING

INFORMATION INTO THE REFERENCED SOLICITATION

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

1. QUESTION: I have reviewed the GFM list in the specifications and this does not include all items listed on the drawings, for example drawing CHA-D-1202459-E002, note 3 calls out Nema 4X junction boxes that are listed on the note as GFM but are not included in the GFM list in the specifications. This is also the case for notes 4 and 5 on that same print.

Please clarify if I am to interpret all GFM items on the drawings as GFM items for this project?

FAA ANSWER: Please see Changes/Clarifications below.

2. QUESTION: On drawing CHA-D-1202459-E002, note 7, the GFM Heliax is listed as 1/2”.

Please clarify that this is supposed to be 7/8”.

3. QUESTION: Do you have a tentative schedule in regards to which towers will be shut down (for example tower 1, 2, 3 and then tower 4, 5) and what time will be required by the FAA to make the connections and be ready to release the next set of towers?

FAA ANSWER: Towers will not be shutdown prior to installation of new conduits and cables. Once contractor installation is complete, the FAA will take up to 2 weeks to cut-over towers to new cables prior to removal of existing cables. See C003 note 7.

4. QUESTION: Will the FAA have any site photos available?

FAA ANSWER: No photos are available at this time.

5. QUESTION: Will there be no Bottom J-Box on towers 1 &2? They are not shown on Sheet E004.

FAA ANSWER: As per the plans, there will be no bottom box required on towers 1 & 2.

6. QUESTION: The GFM list show there to be 2 Each, 48 x 36 x12” boxes furnished and only one is shown in the installation drawings.

7. QUESTION: The GFM shows 5 Ea. 36 x 30 x 10” boxes furnished which is shown for the top boxes. There are none in the GFM list for the lower tower J-box. Will these be contractor furnished?

AMENDMENT 0001 DTFASA-17-R-00037

8. QUESTION: There is no lower J-box shown on sheet E004 for towers 1 & 2. Will there be no lower J-box on Towers 1 & 2? If required who is to furnish?
