Interior Chilled Water Piping-Clarification #2.pdf

This is a Request for Information (RFI) clarification document for Battle Creek Public Schools' Ann J Kellogg building interior chilled water piping insulation project. The document addresses bidder questions regarding insulation material specifications and piping thickness requirements. The primary clarification confirms that bidders should base their bids on Armaflex insulation with 520 adhesive for both piping and fittings, rejecting the use of self-sealing Tubolet SS or self-seal Armaflex products due to durability concerns with adhesive longevity and material porosity. The specifications indicate that piping thickness should be determined by the manufacturer's product specifications based on water line sizing as detailed in the existing mechanical plans provided in the project manual. The document also references plan revisions for additional spaces in Areas 1 and 4 that were not included in the initial RFP project manual.

No pricing information, contract term details, bid due dates, or award information is specified in this clarification document. The communication serves primarily to align bidder understanding of material specifications and direct contractors to reference existing mechanical plans for determining appropriate insulation thickness based on chilled water line sizing requirements.
