Every note related to the new natural gas line ends with (BY OTHERS, SEE NOTE17). Note 17 states the gas line is owned/controlled by privatized utility provider, and that all gas piping shown including the gas regulator/meter shall be completed by gas privatized utility provider and coordinated with the Government. However, the note also sates that all gas piping shall be completed in accordance with privatized gas company specifications and that the gas main size shall be verified prior to ordering materials.

Please clarify the natural gas line requirements. If all the gas piping including the regulator/meter is by others, then all the contractor would need to do is coordinate with the Government, and it would be the responsibility of the utility provider to verify their own line prior to ordering their own materials. If it is the Contractor’s responsibility, then please clarify what the contractor will be required to perform under this project for this scope, and provide additional information related to the gas meter size, regulators, gas line owner, etc., if the contractor is responsible for this installation.

The design intent is that all the gas piping including the regulator/meter is by the utility provider. The contractor is to coordinate with both the Government and the utility provider as necessary to provide a complete project.

Keynote P12 on sheet P-102 calls for a new smart natural gas meter and tocoordinate with civil plans. The civil plans state the gas meter will beprovided by the gas privatized utility company.

b. along exterior, to DOAU-1

Please clarify the following: The break room calls for Cliff Pointe floor tile,which is discontinued, and a Plaza Nova base tile. That would be two differentcolor tiles. There is no base tile specified that matches that color tile.
