B206 Solicitation Questions

1. Please reference the Statement of Work dated 14 August 2020. Scope references rooms labeled Training and Heritage in B206. I cannot seem to locate rooms labeled

Training and Heritage on the drawings contained in the file, Attachment 6 As-Built

Drawing. Can you please provide the Room Numbers associated with the Rooms labeled Training and Heritage so we can locate them on the provided as-built.

Floor plan will be updated with Heritage Room/Training Room highlighted.

2. Please reference the Statement of Work dated 14 August 2020. Scope requires the

Contractor to provide approximately 300 square feet of wood laminate flooring in the

Training Room with what is similar to that in the Heritage Room. Can you provide a specification or as-built information for the wood laminate flooring that is in the

Training Room?

As builts could not be found to verify the existing flooring in the heritage room. The flooring in the heritage room shall be removed and the contractor shall install wood laminate flooring in the entire room. SOW will be updated to reflect this change.

3. Please reference the Attachment 6 As-built Drawing – The Drawing Index on Sheet G002 indicates 132 total sheets. The pdf file includes a total of 116 sheets. When viewing the sheets in the file it appears some sheets may be duplicated and/or missing?

After taking a closer look at those as-builts, they don’t contain any information relevant to this project. Relevant as-builts will be provided with the updated SOW.

No, chair rail shall be removed from the heritage room.
