23 Are automatic dampers required? I understand they want a space heater located inside the enclosure, so having the automatic dampers will keep that warm are inside the enclosure, instead of leaking out, but the standard package doesn’t include louvers because both the water heater and battery charger are sized for a cold start. You really only see automatic dampers in extremely cold conditions, along with the space heater. Are both details required? [Reference Volume 1 spec section 263213.13]

Provide with automatic dampers as specified.

24 We do not see a field in the bid form (page 6 & 7 of 87), or other area in the Solicitation that accommodates alternate pricing. E.g. for the alternates shown on L402 in the Restrooms and Pavilion drawings.

The slab schedule includes roof deck and plywood decking as well.

28 Reference Detail A on S301 in the Restrooms and Pavilion drawings. The detail suggests beams B1, B2, and B3 are required at column grid lines. However, on drawing S101, Beams B1, B2 and B3 appear to be limited to the perimeter wall areas. Please clarify the intent of the detail on S301, and advise of beams are required along all the column grid lines.

The extents of the concrete beams are shown on plan and concrete beams are not required at each column. Details on S301 shall be used to layout the reinforcement of the concrete beams.

34 Police Station Civil Drawing 1 CD 101 – Is there any as‐built data indicating depth below existing grade of existing steam lines, steam manholes, underground electric and water main?

Particularly on the NW/SW face of the existing building. It appears that the proposed addition encroaches on the existing steam lines and the proposed retaining wall(s) encroach on the existing steam and underground electric.

The background utilities right up against the building specifically on the Civil demolition drawing are slightly out of date as a project to replace and relocate the existing steam lines was in construction during our design phase, and we received the specific field as built redlines from the contractor toward the very end of our design process. The field redlines will be made available to the contractor. We did attempt to capture the new steam and other utility locations on the new work drawings and indicate existing utilities that need to be moved as a part of this project scope. We believe the existing steam lines do not interfere with the building addition, but may run under the new mechanical pad. The exact location of the small retaining wall footing will need to be coordinated with the depth and location of the relocated steam lines and underground electric.
