QUESTION #10: Drawing SD104, please confirm the replacement of the roof on the existing shed is included in the work scope.

ANSWER #10: The replacement of the roof on the existing shed is part of this specification. See Revised Drawings.

QUESTION #11: Drawing SD105, please confirm that the existing metal stairs on the roof going over the existing piping, is to be removed, replaced and if it is to be painted.

ANSWER #11: Remove and reinstall stairs as indicated in the drawings.

QUESTION #12: Drawing S-101, note 1 refers to removal and reinstallation of utilities as indicated on sheet “SDXXX”. Please provide the drawing number.

ANSWER #12: “SDXXX” refers to demolitions sheets SD101, SD102, SD103, SD104, SD105.

QUESTION #13: Drawing A-601, Roof Scuttle detail on the top right corner of the sheet, calls for a new roof scuttle. Please provide the size of the scuttle the location on the roof and if an access ladder will be required.

ANSWER #13: See drawing package for the location of the roof scuttles. Exact size of the roof scuttles shall be field measured prior to ordering. For bidding purposes, the contractor shall assume (2) scuttles 5’x5’ each. No access latter is required.

QUESTION #14: Drawing SD-105, the soffit detail in the bottom right calls for the demo of the existing soffit and vents and to provide new soffit without vents. The existing soffit has a small architectural crown molding at the wall. Please confirm the new soffit will not require crown molding or other trim where it butts up the wall. If a trim piece is required please provide a detail.

ANSWER #14: Vents are required. See specification and revised drawings for soffit requirement. Crown molding is not required.

QUESTION #15: Drawing SD-101 shows the roof demolition. Drawing S-301 shows the new roof framing. Not shown in the demolition drawing is the existing acoustical ceiling tile under the existing roofing. It appears that the existing ceiling tiles are failing and in some locations falling down. In a number of locations, the existing ceiling will need to be removed in order to access and install the new roof framing. Please confirm the existing ceiling are to be removed and are not to be replaced.

ANSWER #15: The existing ceilings may be removed to the extent required to complete this project. Existing ceilings that require removal to complete this project are not required to be replaced except in the areas shown on sheet S-104.

QUESTION #16: During the pre-bid site visit it was observed that the existing paint on most of the existing walls and ceilings was failing. This paint is suspected to contain lead. Abatement of the existing walls and ceilings is not included in the current work scope. Accessing the work to do the demolition as well as the new work after the demolition, will result in workers being exposed to the failing paint. As a result, it appears that the workers will be required wear PPE equipment, level C, for exposure to lead and full-time air monitoring will also be required.

Please confirm the contractors are to include these costs in their proposals.

ANSWER #16: See answer to RFI QUESTION #1. Work shall be conducted in accordance with all safety requirements and regulations as specified in the projects package.

QUESTION #17: Are electronic bid proposals emailed to Kennett.morris@navy.mil acceptable or only hard copies?

ANSWER #17: Electronic Bid Proposals are not acceptable.

QUESTION #18: If only hard copies of bid proposals are acceptable please clarify what is meant in the solicitation where it says, “one original and one hard copy”, is this a proposal with original signatures and then a copy of the proposal for a total of two proposals?

ANSWER #18: Bid with original signatures and a copy of the bid is allowed.

QUESTION #19: On the site walk it was noted by the customer that the existing mechanical equipment on the roof was not working or was badly damaged or heavily damaged by water/mold and that it would be a cost saving measure to remove and demolish versus remove and replace. Please confirm we are to remove and demolish the mechanical and electrical associated with mechanical elements on the roof.

ANSWER #19: See Revised Drawings.

QUESTION #20: Drawing G-001, General Note 5, says, “…contractor shall verify that items to be removed do not support adjacent existing structures to remain. Contractor shall provide temporary shoring and bracing to adjacent structures to remain prior to continuing work.” Drawing S-001, General Note 3, is also similar. Is the contractor responsible to provide an engineered shoring/bracing plan?

ANSWER #20: See Specifications, including 02 41 00 Demolition.

QUESTION #21: Are we required to provide an engineered demolition plan?

ANSWER #21: See Specifications, including 02 41 00 Demolition.

ANSWER #24: See Specifications, including 02 41 00 Demolition.

QUESTION #25: How many asbestos and lead samples do you want taken?

ANSWER #25: See Specifications.

QUESTION #26: Asbestos and lead was very obviously covering a large bulk of the demolition work to be performed, for example drawing SD102 the picture that says “demolish soffit” all of the soffit is transite board.

Also, asbestos has broken off and fallen on the ground/concrete slab throughout the project. Should we include a price for asbestos and lead abatement for the elements to be demolished?

ANSWER #26: See Specifications and Drawings. Also see ANSWER #1.

QUESTION #27: If we are to include abatement please provide an additional site walk time so abatement contractors can visit the project.

ANSWER #27: See Specifications. Also see ANSWER #1.

QUESTION #28: For the asbestos that has fallen off the building and is laying all over the ground is it acceptable to have construction working work around, walk over, and potentially disturb the asbestos through normal access of the space or do workers need to wear proper protection from asbestos like respirators?

ANSWER #28: See Specifications and Drawings.

QUESTION #29: Drawing S-001, General Note 6, is a material representative required to be onsite when the material is being installed to verify proper installation of the specific material?

ANSWER #29: See Specifications, including 07 22 00 Roof and Deck Insulation.

QUESTION #30: Drawing S-001, General Note 10, says we are to submit concrete mix designs. Where are we installing concrete on the project?

ANSWER #30: There is no concrete work on this project. See Revised Drawings.

ANSWER #31: Special Inspection is not required on this project, except as required in Specification 07 22 00 Roof and Deck Insulation.

QUESTION #32: Drawing S-001, general Note 12, says, “Contractors shall visit the site prior to bid to ascertain conditions which may adversely affect the work or cost thereof.” Please confirm that only the contractors that were present at the site walk are able to bid this project.

ANSWER #32: No; all small businesses meeting the requirements of the solicitation are allowed to bid this project.

QUESTION #50: With regards to existing HVAC equipment on the roof. Can the government provide a detail or a drawing showing exactly what equipment is to remain and what is getting removed and not reinstalled?

ANSWER #50: See contract drawings and Revised Drawings.

QUESTION #51: It appears in the specs as if this project will require separate SSHO, Superintendent and QC Manager (No double or triple hatting) which seems like a lot of supervision for a project of this size/complexity.

Please provide/confirm the site supervision requirements for this project.

ANSWER #51: Separate Superintendent, QC Manager and SSHO are required in accordance with specifications.

QUESTION #52: The drawings and specs make mention of lead abatement and many areas of the building have peeling paint but drawings do not specify a quantity. For bidding purposes, should it be assumed that all painted items scheduled to be removed contain lead and therefore will have to be removed by an abatement crew?

ANSWER #52: See notes on existing drawing sheet A-1, last drawing sheet, for existing conditions. Also See answers to RFI QUESTION #1.

QUESTION #53: Does the insulation on the rooftop ductwork, which is scheduled to be replaced, contain asbestos?

If this is unknown, should it be assumed to contain asbestos for bidding purposes?

ANSWER #53: The rooftop ductwork’s insulation should be assumed to contain asbestos.

QUESTION #54: Are there any other known or assumed hazmat containing materials, which were NOT mentioned/described as hazmat containing in the drawings, that should be included as part of this proposal?

ANSWER #54: All known or suspected hazmat have been identified in the scope of work and drawings.

QUESTION #55: The specifications include mold remediation and duct cleaning but I didn’t notice anything about mold in the drawings/SOW. Should mold remediation/duct cleaning be included in this proposal? If so, please quantify.

ANSWER #55: Mold remediation is not part of this project. Duct cleaning is not part of this project.

QUESTION #56: Please provide required sizes and specifications for all rooftop items scheduled to be replaced including skylights, ventilation fans (CFMs?), hoods and hatches.

ANSWER #56: Se Revised Drawings and response to RFI QUESTION #1.

ANSWER #57: The drawings say to remove and replace 2 existing rooftop HVAC units. Even if these units are found to be operational, it will be impossible to guarantee they will operate properly after reinstallation and impossible to warrantee. Please advise on how these units should be handled.

ANSWER #57: See Revised Drawings.

QUESTION #58: Please provide the preferred type of duct insulation and jacketing for the rooftop ducting. (vinyl or aluminum jacket?)

ANSWER #58: See Revised Drawings.

ANSWER #60: Shop drawings will be required only for the steel sections of roof framing.

QUESTION #61: Please confirm 3rd party inspections for the roof framing will be required.

ANSWER #61: See specification, including 07 53 23.

QUESTION #62: Some areas of the building have existing suspended ceilings which I assume are suspended from some of the framing members scheduled to be replaced. Most of the ceilings are in bad shape… will ceiling replacement be required if removal is necessary for roofing replacement?

ANSWER #62: In areas where ceiling demolition is necessary for roof replacement, ceiling replacement will not be required. See drawing S-104 for areas where ceiling replacement is required.

QUESTION #63: Regarding ACM removal costs: Sheet G-001 provides an Asbestos Disclosure Statement that states “the fee proposal for this project shall include the cost for sampling and analysis”. Based on this information, it appears the Contractor should only include the cost associated with sampling (and the cost to abate any asbestos on the job would be a negotiated change order after award). However, Section 01 11 00 of the Spec (Summary of Work) states “The soffit is made up of painted asbestos transient board and the entire building is painted with strongly suspected lead paint.” The SOW further states this soffit material is to be removed and says “since asbestos is confirmed in the soffit asbestos transient board and strongly suspected in several other building components, and lead is strongly suspected in the interior and exterior building paint, the contractor shall provide lead and asbestos testings prior to commencing of construction, provide lead and asbestos abatement plans and building demolition plan in lead and asbestos construction, as applicable.”

Are we to include ANY asbestos abatement costs with our bid, knowing we will definitely encounter asbestos in the soffit? Or are we still just supposed to provide pricing to include testing only (knowing a change order will be issued to remove the ACM soffit materials).

ANSWER #63: See answer to RFI QUESTION#1.

Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year.

Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)).

The body of each wage determination lists the classification and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of "identifiers" that indicate whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local), a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate (weighted union average rate).

Union Rate Identifiers

A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than "SU" or "UAVG" denotes that the union classification and rate were prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:

PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of the union which prevailed in the survey for this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198 indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1, 2014.

Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing this classification and rate.

Survey Rate Identifiers

Classifications listed under the "SU" identifier indicate that no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As this weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non-union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a new survey is conducted.

Union Average Rate Identifiers

Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate that no single majority rate prevailed for those classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010 08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is based.

WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS

1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be:

* an existing published wage determination

* a survey underlying a wage determination

* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter

* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling

On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.)

and 3.) should be followed.

With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal process described here, initial contact should be with the Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to:

Branch of Construction Wage Determinations Wage and Hour Division U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an interested party (those affected by the action) can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator (See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to:

Wage and Hour Administrator U.S. Department of Labor

200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the interested party's position and by any information (wage payment data, project description, area practice material, etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue.

3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to:

Administrative Review Board U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

4.) All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final.
