A discrepancy appears to exist between the defined work area(s) and the scope of work. Removal of GWB from "both sides" of the shaft wall studs will require access to adjacent areas not detailed in the existing scope. It is not feasible to attempt repairs from the interior of the shaft walls only.

Govt Response:

The stairwell walls are to be completely replaced. Remaining wall studs to remain and shaft liners to be installed to the interior. Refer AD-101 and A-101.-LL

65. Proposed alternative to complete removal of stairwell studs. As an alternative to removing existing shaft wall studs in the stairwells, is it acceptable to treat existing studs with a rust converter and frame in new studs (like kind)? Top/bottom track could then be spot replaced, where necessary.

Recommendation is to define an objective metric to determine if track is sound. For example, track that is capable of holding a fastener is acceptable and can treated with rust converter to address surface corrosion.

Response: Include full wall replacement at the stairwells as the basis of design. If no damage is observed, the stud wall can remain. If any corrosion/damage is observed on a member, then it is to be replaced in its entirety. The government should be reimbursed for portion of wall not replaced. Concur that an objective metric may be used to determine if the track or metal framing is sound. Propose that a unit cost for the removal and replacement of the framing to be provided. Chemicals used for rust converter to be submitted for review and approval by CE. TMD/LL

Response: Refer UFGS Section 2 Existing Conditions; 02 42 51, 11/19 Carpet Removal and Reclaiming;

2.2.1 Adhesive Removal Solvents. Chemicals used for floor adhesive to be submitted for review and approval by CE. TMD

68. Request specifics on haul routes and dumpster locations. Are haul routes and dumpsters limited to the north stairwell only?

Govt Response:

For haul routes reference Drawing G-101. Dumpster locations are to be submitted with laydown area request and will be approved at that time. JM

69. Request for detail sections to better understand the GOV’s expectations. Are detail sections of the proposed wall assemblies available?
