1. QUESTION: 1. How many window or window sections will the contractor be allowed to have access to at one time?

ANSWER: It depends on the proposed construction schedule see 01 10 00 - 1.4 A. The contractor is expected to minimize downtime. There are also a number of job conditions that must be achieved in

1.4. , conditions that should be considered when determining the number of window sections taken out of service or demo’d.

2. QUESTION: The as-builts provided are not legible; can a better copy be forwarded?

ASSOCIATED QUESTION: Are legible plans available? The notes and most measurements on the drawings accompanying the RFP are not legible. This is necessary to determine how to match the existing exterior and interior and tie-in new windows in accordance with Section 1.1.D. This request also allows for the suitable generation and submission of?

ANSWER: The Government does not have any other versions/copies of the as-builts.

3. QUESTION: Can the Government provide a drawing of the surrounding area to determine access?

ANSWER: Drawings of surrounded area are not available. Offerors are encouraged to attend site visit. Please see FAR 52.236-27, "Site Visit" for more information.

4. QUESTION: Has the existing structure surrounding the new blast windows been determined to meet the fastening requirement of the blast windows?

ANSWER: No.

5. QUESTION: Will jamb, sill and header structural reinforcing be needed for the blast windows?

ANSWER: See 08 51-13 -2.3 and 08 63 05 -2.3 as well as 08 51-13 -1.4 and 08 63 05 -1.4. The jamb, sill, and header are considered components of the system. System design: Design and size components to withstand dead and live loads caused by positive and negative wind pressure acting normal to plane of wall, including building corners, as calculated in accordance with applicable code, as measured in accordance with ASTM E330. System design: Design and size components to withstand dead and live loads caused by positive and negative wind pressure acting normal to plane of wall, including building corners, as calculated in accordance with applicable codes (IBC, ASCE, AISC), and as measured in accordance with ASTM E330. Additionally, windows shall perform under blast loads in accordance with UFC 4-010-01, ASTM E1300, and ASTM F2248 (Design load = 60psf).

6. QUESTION: Has a lead and asbestos survey been done on the proposed area of construction?

ANSWER: Per 01 10 00 – 1.1 B Lead/Asbestos removal (treat adjacent surfaces of windows as containing lead/asbestos). This includes Window Glazing and Window Caulking see 02 08 00- 3.7G&H. Also this includes all painted material see 02 08 50 – 3.3

7. QUESTION: If no survey has been done, should the contractor have survey cost in their bid?

ANWSER: See answer to #6.

8. QUESTION: If lead has been done can the Government provide a TCLP sample report of lead so landfill classification can be determined?

ANWSER: The TCLP applies only to the waste generated and cannot be performed before the waste is generated. Also, see 02 08 50 – 3.9 D. The contractor is the Organization turning in the waste and is required to submit a GC-565 which a sample of is copied below. The contractor should consider all costs associated with submitting the form accurately.

General Note: Figure 1 is intended to be used as an example of the fixed unit details. It is not mandatory to use this system for all fixed units and may not be applicable for non-fixed units. The specifications will control design and not Figure 1.

ANSWER: No

10. QUESTION: Window Sizes in at least one bay of windows that are over 5’x5’ which is greater than the maxium blast tested size for window manufacturers. What is the minimum standoff distance …..82ft??

ANWSER: The specified 60 psf (08 63 05 1.4 A) (which should be interpreted as normal to the plane of the window) was intended to provide the detail required for manufacturer’s requirements. The standoff distance and DBT would only be needed in order to determine the pressures associated with said DBT at said standoff.

11. QUESTION: In Spec Section 08 63 05 (Blast Resistant Metal-Framed Windows) 2.4.F You cannot touch up raw edges on anodized finishes (according to F section extent of finish) the only way to do that would be to anodize fabricated window frames and no manufacturers anodize the window after it is fabricated.

ANSWER: 08 63 05 2.4 F Does not specify that the finish coatings applied after fabrication and after assembly be anodized. 08 63 05 2.4 D & F specifies the use of SSPC Paint 25 and SSPC Paint 20 for these applications.
