Questions 1.docx

1. Sheet A0.1, the first item in the legend states remove gyp. bd. from wall. West of suite 102 on grid line 2 and west of grid line d the western most wall shows the gyp. bd. being demoed. Sheet A1.1 shows that wall as a wall type E which states gyp. bd. to remain . Please CLARIFY what gyp. bd. gets demoed and stays between the demo sheets and the floor plan sheets. RESPONSE: Those walls have the sheet rock demoed and replaced. The description is wall type "E4" -note the "4" at the lower right corner of the triangle- which states to demo and replace.

2. Many of the sheet work notes on E1.1 call out for demolition of conducters and conduit in the rooms. Do these rooms have conduit in them, or romex, or a combination of both?

RESPONSE: Each typical/non-typical suite has a j-box in the ceiling space of the hallway between the sleeping rooms of each suite. There is conduit, as noted on plans, from this j-box back to corresponding panelboard. From each j-box, all of the branch circuits in each suite are romex. The work notes should not say to remove conduit in the suites as there is none.

3. Drawing E1.1, sheet work note 5 says day room fixtures are to remain, while being cleaned and re-lamped. There are some existing fixtures in the other rooms that are to remain. Are they to be cleaned and relamped also?

RESPONSE: Each existing fixture to remain in the building shall be cleaned and re-lamped.

4. Specification 260519 3.6 A.B.C. are for testing on conductors. What NETA section applies, and for which conductors?

RESPONSE: NETA Section 7.3.2 for all conductors being installed.

5. Demo sheets E1.1, E1.2 and E1.3. In the entry way to each dorm unit the symbol for a manual motor starter (Sm) is shown. Are we in fact removing a manual motor starter or is this supposed to be a regular switch (S)?

RESPONSE: This is light and solid which indicates that this manual motor starter is existing. There is no work to be done to this.

Clarification: The “Unique” closet layout for room 209, 211,309, and 311 are shown incorrectly on the plan layout sheets. Currently, it shows the “Unique” closet floor plan as being different from the “Typical”. The “Unique” layouts should be similar to the “Typical” plan layout and elevations; the exception will be in the dimensions of the cabinets and adjustment of the rod. The "Unique" closets will need to have the cabinets altered from approximately 2’-6” to 2’-0”-It is the contractors responsibility to verify all dimensions. ALL CLOSEST WILL NEED TO BE CUSTOM FITTED AND DIMENSIONS FIELD VERIFIED since the closets –both "Typical" and "Unique"- vary slightly in layout and dimension.

Clarification: The note on “Finishing’s” located on Sheet A5.1 under General Notes. This note applies only to the beds, tables, and chairs.
