Section Question Response

1 SOW 5.1.2.a Provide lazy suzan base and wall cabinets.

> Three bedroom units kitchen cabinets are set on a straight line along the wall.

Will these units require a Lazy Suzan?

Not required if there is no corner cabinet.

2 SOW 5.1.1.a Conduct Sampling and Testing of all ACM suspected materials.

Conduct LBP Sampling and Testing on paint disturbed during removal work.

SOW 5.1.1.b

> Recommended 10 ACM Samples per unit is for Bidding Pricing Only. Actual abatement will be done on a contract modification. Is this correct?

Yes

> Recommended 3 LBP Samples per unit is for Bidding Pricing Only. Actual abatement will be done on a contract modification. Is this correct?

Yes

3 SOW 5.1.3.b & c Please confirm that the exterior aluminum sliding window, exterior aluminum sliding door and insect screens are the only ones to be replace. Existing frames to stay.

SQK4-95 1-Unit

Existing frames to be replaced also.

4 D5010 Electrical This paragraphs is indicated "Not Used", does this mean the existing panel board shall remain? Scope of work does not mention anything on arc-fault circuit interrupter which is required in NFPA 70 article 210.12 for 120V, 1P, 15A and 20A circuits supplying dwelling units.

Existing panel boards are Japanese manufactured. Arc-fault interrupter circuit breakers are not available in Japanese products; US manufactured breakers may not fit into the Japanese panel.

Please advice if the existing panel boards

5 Attachement 8 Perfomance Technical Solutions

There are many items discussed in attachment 8 that is not applicable to the project. Please advice that the particular items in D40 and D50 are applicable

As stated in Attachment 8 par.

1, Performance Technical sections (PTS) is a general section, stating minimum requirements. Not all items will be required for the project, attachment 7 and SOW shall be referred to for specific requirements.

6 SOW 5.2

Mechanical Work

Due to removal and replacement of the shower mixing valve, and bath tub, please confirm that the Ceramic Wall Tile to be replaced is the area that is disturbed, and that possible color mismatch inside the bathroom is acceptable.

Only the affected area will be replaced with new. The KTR should make every effort to match the existing tiles.

7 Existing Conditions /

Current Construction It was noticed during the Site Visit, there is a construction project currently going on at the subject Bldgs. It seems like a minor alteration, but appear to involve plumbing and electrical work. We believe, In order to develop a design, the "As-Built Drawings" for this current project, and more precise Scope of Work are essential. In turn, without them, it will be difficult to estimate for the project. Please provide the As-Builts (or at least "expected" completion drawings) for the current construction.

***Please contact Contract Specialist, Ms. Amy Jenkins, via email at amy.jenkins.3@us.af.mil for a copy of the construction drawings of the on-going project.

In D40 and D50 are applicable.

10 Statement of work : 4.1 Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) and Lead Based Paint (LBP) survey

It is explained that KTR is responsible for sampling and testing all possible ACM and

LBP. However, Quantity of such Hazmat cannot be estimated prior to sampling and testing. Are we to estimate the construction cost without any abatement/removal of ACM &

LBP? Which, consequently will have to be at an additional cost after the award. Provided test results (Attachment-9) are not sufficient enough to be considered "typical to all".

Government will issue a modification if ACM and LBP test results are positive.

Please see item #2 question and response also.
