Question/Answer to Site Visit Pre-Site Visit

1. Does the walk through includes every area? If not, I would like to review the following areas;

a. AREA "A": Main Kitchen, Mandarin Kitchen, Main Cooking Areas, Main Service

b. Line#1&#2

c. AREA: "B" 2011A, 20630

d. MEDICAL CT: Cooking Area

e. Note: The largest areas

ANSWER:

The walk through will not include every kitchen hood and duct system at WPAFB.

Area "A" bldg. 262 will be included in the walk through, i.e.: main kitchen, Mandarin Kitchen etc.

Area B, bldg. 11A has been closed. The system has been removed and future plans are to re-open some type of facility. All this has been on hold for a few years and I look for it to stay on hold until the funding and cut back issues are settled in D.C.

Other locations on the bid schedule were color coded as to what is closed, temporarily out of service, and locations that are open.

Bldg 20630, Mega child care facility can be added to the walk through. This system is a simple system but the fan is mounted to a sloped roof.

2. Will there be any Blue Prints available for review? (Duct work)?

ANSWER:

Only blue prints available might be for the total remodel of the base hospital. Almost all other systems you can see the duct line.
