Questions and Answers for RFQ FA670325Q0017

Wood Gym Floors Dobbins ARB

1) Will the work be phased? If so, how many phases are anticipated?

a. This is dependent on the contractors forecast of anticipated completion

2) Regarding the gym floor, is there any specific area that requires repair? Our team was not able to locate any. If applicable, a picture or drawing would be very helpful.

a. With Screen, Recoat & Repaint Lines If we proceed under this scope, we will identify and prioritize the most critical repairs that can be completed within the current application and budget. Larger or non-urgent repairs will be deferred and considered for a future project phase.

b. If Resurface (Deep Sanding & Refinish) occurs , assumption is these repairs would occur as a course of action during this process. During the walkthrough, several areas were identified that may require repair, contingent on the allocated budget. If a full sand and line repainting are selected instead of a screen and recoat, it is assumed that surface repairs—such as gouges and scrapes—will be addressed as part of the sanding process. We can provide reference photos of the identified areas to support decision-making and clarify scope.

3) Will the base remove all fitness equipment in the workout area prior to flooring work, or is the contractor responsible for relocation and reinstallation?
