System shall be compatible with (e) system.” Is the contractor to provide the card key readers, electronic door hardware and etc for a complete operating system?

Contractor can re-use the existing electronic key-card systems to install in the exterior and bedroom doors. This will require them to remove them from the existing doors for installation into the new doors. This is what was done in the last renovation.

14. The RFP refers to ATFP and UFC 4-010-01. Is Progressive Collapse required, per ATFP UFC 4-010-01? If it is, please a provide structural as-builts so that a building analysis can be completed. Providing a comprehensive proposal to include current ATFP standards would be difficult without knowing the structural framing of the facility.

Per UFC 4-010-01, par. 1-8.2.1 Major Investments, if we do not exceed the 50% of plant replacement value (PRV) in renovating the facility, progressive collapse is not required. It is up to the design AE/contractor to determine if progressive collapse is required or not.

15. The roof per SOW 2.21.b indicates repair or replace. Who makes this decision about present state of roof? If not otherwise noted, may we suggest that a 10 year or 15 year warranty be the standard to repair vs replace?

This requirement need to be determined by the design engineers through the desifn phase of the project.
