One is a single electrode and the other is 3 electrodes. Which one is used for this installation? Also, no NSN number as been assigned to the three electrode model. For pricing, do you have another model number or assigned number for the three electrode model?

WARB Response #1: Please refer to attached copy of 35E1-2-13-1. Westover will be using mushroom electrode as indicated in the attached TO.

#4.The water supply for the cooling jacket shows ductal iron transitioning to poly pro piping. Is steel acceptable instead of ductal as it may prove difficult to make the transitions to the different piping materials depending on the type of ductal specified?

WARB Response #4: Water piping is to be ductile iron.

#5.Has the AFTF pit been tested for contamination at the base layer/pit bottom?

a.If not, and contamination is found who is responsible for remediation and disposal?

WARB Response #7: In accordance with Sheet PD100 Keynote 1, the contractor shall coordinate with the LPG provider to remove remaining fuel and refill the tank after completion. Record quantity removed for credit when refilling the tank.

#8. Will the base consider alternative configuration for the AFTF pit? An alternative to current HDPE, sand, rocks?

WARB Response #8: NO. The design is as shown.

#9. Will the base accept an alternative fire configuration? One that is NFPA compliant (gas & temperature detection, pilot ignition system, exhaust fan).

WARB Response #9: Maintain the drawing design as shown.

#20. Can you advise on the underground CA and Water lines. The drawings show pp below grade in the burn pit. Is pp (Pipe / Tubing) the preferred material?

The specifications (Table 11, 22 00 00 pages 23 and 27) allow galvanized, pe and pvc. Are all of these acceptable?The 4” jacket piping (cooling water) is noted as being schedule 40 and schedule 80 on the drawings. Can this be clarified?

Can you confirm that you are providing the framing for the ground burners?

Still in the process of doing take-off.

Please advise.

WARB Response #20: The pipe materials listed in the table are acceptable. However the material called out on the drawing is the required material to be used at that particular location.

Correct the water jacket piping is SCH 80 above ground. The SCH 80 pipe is for the connector (nipple) between the PP and 4 inch pipe.

The contractor is to provide the framing for the ground burners per detail A1 Sheet P-501.
