GENERAL

Q: Please clarify if the Government will provide editable drawings (dwg) of the current design and in which phase.

A: CE will provide editable drawings to the winner Contractor before NTP issuance.

Q: Is the Basis of Design available?

A: Structural, Electrical and Mechanical Design Analysis (which will be provided in FBO) include Design Assumptions.

STRUCTURAL

Q: The structural design is dated before 2018, therefore it is necessary to update it to respect the Ministerial Decree 17.01.2018. Are the original structural calculations report available?

A: The project has been approved by The Construction Mix Commission during the “out of Cycle” Session on 17 Apr 17, 9 months before new D.M. 17 Jan 18.

In addition for the seismic upgrade of B.1469 the changes included in DM 17 Jan 18 are just marginal if compared with D.M. 14 Jan 2008 and such changes does not require a full structural re-design in accordance with 2018 norms. Finally The Gvt does not foresee any issue to have the facility tested by a certified engineer once the renovation is completed.

Q: Are the tests performed regarding the characterization of the materials (e.g. level of knowledge LC1, LC2 or LC3) available?

A: There is no test performed, just visual on-site survey. Level of knowledge is LC1 (Fc=1,35) as reported in the Structural Design Analysis.
