| This qualification has been removed. | ||||
| 18 | Question | |||
| Record Drawings VS Recent Project Materials and Finishes Info. | Per record Drawings, the existing lighting over the Lav's in the restrooms is being provided by cove mounted industrial strip lighting, however the Design Basis Materials and Finishes of the recent project only indicate wall mounted vanity lighting and 2X2 flat panel lighting. Please confirm if the RFP intent is to cut into the existing walls over the Lav's and install wall mounted vanity fixtures that are supplemented with ceiling mounted 2X2 fixtures flat panels rather than utilize cove mounted LED strip fixtures at the ceiling of both restroom walls similar the existing installation. | |||
| Answer | ||||
| All tile and wallboard will be demolished in the construction area. All existing lighting shall be demolished. Approximate the lighting layout of the basis of design restrooms. | ||||
| 19 | Question | |||
| Part 3 - Statement of Work / Project Program - D50 Electrical | Section D50 does not define any expectation of wiring are raceway replacement. Is it appropriate to assume existing wiring can be reused, and all that would need to be replaced is wiring from last J-box to lighting fixture or device? | |||
| Answer | ||||
| The intention is to pull power from existing circuits in the room. This was the option used in the recently completed restroom project. If this is not possible then a run to the panels feeding the respective rooms will need to be made. The electrical drawings for the rooms and the associated panels will be provided as a separate attachment with the responses to these questions. | ||||
| 20 | Question | |||
| Part 3 - Statement of Work / Project Program - D50 Electrical | Per record drawings, the existing restrooms do not have exit signs in them, would base AHJ allow the same interpretation of "Marking of Means of Egress" under this project, or will Exit signs be expected? | |||
| Answer | ||||
| Exit signs are not expected. | ||||
| 21 | Question | |||
| Attachment 1 As-built Drawings | Per the original contract drawings provided in the RFP, the existing foundation is comprised of reinforced concrete grade beams and pile caps consistent with a deep foundation system. Given this type of construction, access for installation of new utilities may be limited. Are there any other means of access available to avoid disruption to existing structure? | |||
| Answer | ||||
| There are no other means of access. | ||||
| 22 | Question | |||
| Part 3 - Statement of Work / Project Program - 1.0 Project Description | Per the record drawings, domestic hot water is shown to serve the hot water needs of the fixtures in each of the latrines. However, the project description states "the existing latrines do not have hot water and a recirculating electrically heated hot water supply will need to be designed and installed." Please confirm the extent of the scope of work for the domestic hot water heater. | |||
| Answer | ||||
| A recirculating electrically heated hot water supply will need to be designed and installed to supply all three floors. The current tempered water system is insufficient. The intent is for the six remodeled restrooms to be provided with hot and cold water from the new water heater. There is an existing water heater that only provides tempered water to the restroom sinks. That water heater shall be replaced and pipping shall be installed to provide hot and cold water to the restrooms. If there are any other existing fixtures being supplied by that water heater then piping at the heater needs to tie into the existing piping that feeds those fixtures. The new water heater is to be 80 gallons. | ||||
| 23 | Question | |||
| Part 3 - Statement of Work / Project Program - D2010 Plumbing Fixtures | Section states to provide electric water cooler(s). Confirm if these are required and if so, provide quantity and locations. | |||

| 26 | Question | |||
| 01 33 16 Design After Award | Specification section 01 33 16 Design After Award requires a 35%, 65%, 95%, and 100% design submissions.
