With this, Can I request our copy of the specifications/drawings for this building unit?

Answer: For this project, there are no specifications/drawings for this building unit, with the exception of the specifications outlined in the Scope of Work.

Question 2: I am asking for more specifics and considerations for the following:

• A lot has to do with Fire Code(s) regarding two entry doors if the only door is blocked/obstructed by fire; if only one door, do the windows need to be big enough (need desired size) so people can get out if needed?

mailto:erin.messing@alaska.gov

• Handicap accessible would require a ramp and wasn’t in the deliverables.

• Is Heat Trace wanted for the roof to prevent ice dams?

• Is a gutter system wanted? Is any cover or awning for entrance door(s) needed to shed/divert falling ice and water dripping on people or inside at the entrance(s)?

Answer: See answers below:

• Yes, the windows will need to be big enough so people can get out if needed. Desired size:

- Minimum 5.7 square feet, minimum opening 24 inches, minimum width 20 inches

• Handicap Access will not be required.

• Heat Trace will not be required.

• To include gutters.

• To include awning over entrance door.
