R0010 10‐Jul‐18

Paragraph 2 for the Pre‐Phase Section in the Scope of Work states the contractor needs to perform an analysis of the exterior walls to determine the extent of termite damage.

There is already such a report in the bid package complied by KDG. Is the contractor expected to do a second analysis as a part of their scope?

The report provided identifies the areas that have termite damage and an idea of the severity but the overall scope of the damage is somewhat unknown. Per the “Proposed Solution Report” section, page 2 “Exterior Façade Repairs” – “Remove the existing faux brick, sheathing, batt insulation, all damaged sill plates and wood stud wall framing on framing on all exterior walls.” The contractor does NOT need to do a second analysis but should bid according to the information provided in the report.

11‐Jul‐18

R0011 10‐Jul‐18

Section Detail 4, Sheet A4‐1 calls for the contractor to assume that 25% of the exterior wall studs will be replaced due to termite damage. However the individual removal sheets designated certain areas where this applies (Keyed Note 9.2). Which applies, the entire perimeter or just the designated sections?

Assume 25% replacement of the entire perimeter wall studs. 11‐Jul‐18

yes 11‐Jul‐18

R0014 10‐Jul‐18 How is the contractor to address the code required threshold for full building refit for seismic if reached?

B861 is a one‐story structure, no seismic work required. Please provide which code you are concerned about.

24‐Jul‐18

R0015 10‐Jul‐18

Per the termite damage/ structural integrity assessment it appears that windows and door openings are compromised. If an exterior window or door must be fully removed this would trigger under UFC 4‐010‐01, AT/FP compliant windows and doors with supporting structural frame work to meet the criteria.

Confirm how may openings of each window and door conditions are to be anticipated in the base bid.

Per the “Proposed Solution Report” section, page 2 “Exterior Façade Repairs” – “Removal of the existing windows or doors will be determined by the extent of damage to the window or door opening framing.” Without extensive demolition the exact number of windows and doors to be replaced in unknown. For bidding purposes assume 3 single doors, 5 double doors and 20 windows.

Contractors engineer 26‐Jul‐18

R0026 13‐Jul‐18 Should any amount of window or door framing replacement be included in our proposal?

25% like rest of the building 26‐Jul‐18

R0027 13‐Jul‐18

Attachment 8 Termite Treatment Report states that the mulch that is around the building is to be replaced with landscaping rock. We saw very little mulch around the building. Is the intent that the Government would like landscaping rock around the building? If so, the report also states that the landscaping rock be 8” below finish floor. If this is required, a hole will be being created by the foundation of the building because of the existing grades. Are we to include new storm drains in the landscaping rock beds to remove the storm water?

Remove mulch, bring to grade and replace with grass seed. 26‐Jul‐18

R0028 13‐Jul‐18

yes 26‐Jul‐18

R0031 14‐Jul‐18

The building has a termite report that indicates to anticipate 25% of the exterior stud wall needs to be replaced. Although there is no way to accurately determine the extent and location.

This sounds like a statement not a question. But yes we are assuming 25% replacement had to make a assumption on some number in order for contrators to bid evenly.

26‐Jul‐18

R0032 14‐Jul‐18

The building is a primary gathering place based on the quantity of people, and the UFC 4‐010‐01 guidance would indicate that for a EIFS sheathed stud wall construction, the conventional construction standoff is 86’ to parking and roadways within a secured base.

Per UFC 4‐010‐01, 86 ft standoff is only applicable to new construction. This is an extisting structure.

26‐Jul‐18

The exterior walls of the spaces contain utilities either within the wall or on the surface. Are those utilities part of the wall replacement effort?

The utilities are to remain contractor is to work around utilites or make necessary minor modifications if needed.

26‐Jul‐18

R0039 14‐Jul‐18

The exterior wall of the buildings appear to run from the sill plate at the ground floor to the original roof rafters. If those studs need to be fully replace will that require both exterior wall and mansard roof replacement?

There is some confusion with the drywall sub‐ ceiling as mentioned in Note 9.1. There is conduit mounted to the bottom of the bar joist that has junction boxes. The conduit will be fine where it is but the boxes need to remain accessible. In turn this means alterations to the conduit and repulling wire, which has no way to be quantified. Also, there is all the open cabling that is strung like spaghetti. Some of this cabling would be above the drywall and then have to drop down through it, and some below the drywall sub‐ceiling. In this case, it will be in the way because the drywall can’t be hung with the cable in the way. Please clarify in more detail what is necessary with the electrical in the drywall sub‐ceiling (Note 9.1).

Provide SF cost to replace.Once construction has started and the amount can be quantified, we will use the SF cost. Please reference section B Item number 1007 option.
