1. There are various notes that pertain to p-lam window sill installations at some windows, but not all. Are newly installed p-lam window sills to be considered “typical” at all window installations or only at the locations specifically indicated?

See window detail 02/A3.02 for “Typical Sill”. Provide PLAM window sills where indicated on the plans.

2. There are various drawing notes that reference various changes made via addenda and/or amendments in past bidding years. Has the current release of bid drawings been conformed to incorporate all previous addendum drawing changes?

The contract documents are inclusive of all revisions from prior bidding periods. There are no addenda at this time, the contractor shall bid and perform all work as indicated.

3. There are various drawing notes that state that the existing landscaping is to remain undisturbed and/or protected throughout the course of this project. There are numerous trees that line the walkway (west) face of this building that will need to be severely cut back/trimmed in order for our contractual work to be performed. Whose is responsibility for this tree trimming (gov. or contractor)? If contractor, will they need to be trimmed in a uniform manner (whole tree) or just the single side that interferes with the contractors work?

As indicated from various notes on the demolition drawings, the existing landscaping to remain shall be protected during construction. The contractor will be permitted to trim in a uniform manner a limited number of tree limbs as required to perform the work. Tree trimming shall confirm with the requirements detailed in specification Section 01 02 20, paragraph 3.15.
