QUESTION 1: Drawing Page A1.0, general note 10 says to provide new fire suppression for new enclosures. Can the gov. provide a fire suppression specification section and FP drawings?

ANSWER 1:

Add the following to the Scope of Work (SOW) for all fire suppression additions and or modifications:

Prior to any work on existing fire suppression system Contractor must have a licensed Fire Protection Engineer (FPE) survey the existing fire suppression system to include flow calculations. FPE is to provide digital (AutoCAD and PDF formats) and hard copy drawings of existing fire suppression system. At conclusion of project the contractor is responsible for providing digital (AutoCAD and PDF formats) and hard copy as-built drawings of the modified fire suppression system as well as any related calculations.

Government will provide local water system pressures to Contractor. Fire suppression system is to be designed according to UFC 3-600-01 and all other relevant codes.

QUESTION 2: Can a basis of design be provided for the pre-engineered office spaces, and /or specifications and elevations?

ANSWER 2: Please see Statement of Work “Provide and Install New” sections for pre-engineered office systems information.

QUESTION 3: Drawing Page M1.0 says that OAU-1 is to be installed on the roof of one of the office spaces, and placed on a 6” pad. Instead of a 6” concrete pad on top of the pre-engineered ceiling, should OAU-1 be mounted on a roof curb, and can a detail be provided?

ANSWER 3:

No, a roof curb is not necessary we are not penetrating the metal deck of the office space. The pad in question is a housekeeping pad. Contractor is to provide 2 layers of pressure treated ¾” plywood glued and screwed together that is 6” larger on all sides than actual equipment. Contractor is to provide elastomeric isolation pads on all corners of equipment.
