This is an Architect Supplemental Instructions (ASI) document issued by BWBR Architects for the State of Minnesota Department of Corrections and Treatment (DCT) Anoka Bed Expansion project (Project #55AK0054), dated May 28, 2026. The ASI No. 01 provides clarifications and modifications to the project specifications for the Miller Building expansion. The primary instruction requires the addition of a special inspection category for Specification Section 07-8100 (Spray Fireproofing) to the Special Inspection and Testing Schedule outlined in Section 01-4501 of the Project Manual. No drawing modifications were issued with this supplemental instruction. This ASI is part of an ongoing project that includes the hiring of a licensed Professional Special Inspections and Construction Material Testing contractor to serve as the Owner's Independent Testing Agent (ITA).

The supplemental instruction represents a specification clarification necessitated during the construction document phase, requiring the special inspections contractor to incorporate spray fireproofing oversight into their testing and inspection scope. Addendum #02 to the associated RFP has been posted with mandatory attendee list requirements and scope clarifications in Exhibits A, A5, and A6. The document was digitally executed via DocuSign and is part of the formal project record for the behavioral health care expansion project in Anoka, Minnesota.
