53. Section 01 91 00.15, paragraph 3.2.4.1.3: As this is a relatively small project, we recommend removing mechanical designer, plumbing designer, and irrigation designer from the mechanical systems test team for the commissioning functional performance testing to help keep project costs at a minimum. Note that we are unaware of an irrigation design.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: There is no irrigation design required for this project. NAVFAC agrees except for the Mechanical designer and Fire Protection designer who must assist with any commissioning requirements and NAVFAC Acceptance requirements.

54. Given that Bid Option-1 rooms Break Room 107 and Toilet Room 107A are remotely located from the

Base Bid rooms 124, 126, 214, and 216, to reduce project cost, we recommend just exhausting Toilet Room 107A and Break Room 107 and letting the existing FCU in Office 109 continue to serve Break Room 107.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Currently the FCU in Office – 109 is pulling “outside air” from the adjacent shop area which is not code compliant. Outside air must be provided to the office and breakroom. Please proceed with Bid Option 1 as described in the RFP.

55. Section 01 33 10.05 20, paragraph 1.6.6: Given the limited project size and the interest to keep the general conditions appropriate, recommend only the QC Manager certify the design submittals for compliance with the contract documents and remove the Commissioning Agent from certifying the submittals.

72. The flooring in the existing Janitor’s closet is painted concrete, the room requirements state to provide a sealed concrete floor finish. Is the intent to remove the existing painted floor finish in order to provide a sealed concrete floor or would an epoxy painted floor finish meet the design intent of the room requirement?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Yes, an epoxy painted floor is acceptable.

73. Will a power assist be required at doors to rooms 214, 216 and 216A? Doors are STC rated 39 and have a closer. This combination of hardware prevents the doors from meeting the ABA requirement for 5 lb opening force.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: No power assist should be required. Provide closers to meet ABA requirements.

74. There is old drywall above the ACT ceilings in all bathrooms. Has this drywall been tested for asbestos? Is asbestos testing and / or abatement within our contract?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: The design team was not aware of any drywall above the ACT ceilings in the bathrooms. This also does not show up on the Hazmat Report. Please include this work with the HAZMAT testing. Abatement was not part of the scope and will be considered an unforeseen condition with a contract mod to remediate, if required.

75. Does the existing sprinkler layout meet current Codes?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: The existing sprinkler layout met the codes at the time of installation.

The contractor can determine if the sprinkler layout for the rooms identified in the RFP will meet current code requirements.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: The final design should meet the requirements of the building code.

The design intent is not to replace any framing members or finishes on the other side of the walls.

NAVFAC does not believe any wood framed walls support the floor above but this would need to be verified in the field.

77. The 2nd floor men’s and women’s room currently have plywood under the VCT tile. The plywood is unknown if it is fire rated. Are we to leave the plywood substate in place to support the new flooring even if it is not fire rated? The plywood is rotting near the floor drain.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: The design intent did not include replacing the plywood subfloor.

NAVFAC realizes that the plywood subfloor could be rotted in various locations. Please include 10% of the plywood subfloor to be replaced in each restroom on the second floor. We can review further once the floor is opened up. If further repairs are required, this would be an unforeseen condition.

78. Are we to replace the old original thermostats?

79. Are the existing gas heater & Piping in room 126 to stay?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: The heater in Room 126 is steam. Section 3.2 Demolition on Page 5 indicates that these are part of the demolition. Include any associated piping that will not be used for the new unit.

80. Is the existing cooling units and piping in room 214 & 216 to stay?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: These fan coil units are shown in Section 3.2 Demolition as being removed and part of the demolition. Include associated piping that will not be used for the new units.

81. The existing walls receive Ceramic Tile. Will we need to remove the existing drywall and install a better substrate?

82. Does the user remove the existing lockers prior to our commencing work?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: No, this is part of demolition.

83. ( Solicitation page 2) Does the design cost of $1,384,263 include Bid Option No. 1?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Yes. However, please provide a break-out cost for Bid Option 1 as shown on the Price Proposal Form.

84. (Engineering Systems Requirements PART 3 – CHAPTER 6/ESR D40-PAGES 1-2) Is the DOR responsible for completing a life safety analysis of existing building conditions and systems including egress, fire-rated assemblies, fire detection and notification, and fire suppression?

85. (Engineering Systems Requirements PART 3 – CHAPTER 6/ESR D40-PAGES 1-2) If the DOR is responsible for completing a life safety analysis of existing conditions, does this extend beyond the prescribed work limits (i.e., the 7 spaces)? For example, if the existing fire pump is incapable of providing the design demand flow rate for any of the in-scope spaces, would this be considered an unknown field condition warranting increased design and construction fee and schedule extension by contract modification?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: The Life Safety Analysis should pertain to the work limits as shown in the RFP. If there is an unforeseen condition, we can address at a later date and issue a contract mod if warranted. The capacity should not change. The design does not add or decrease space. Life Safety should meet code for this minor renovation.

86. (Engineering Systems Requirements PART 3 – CHAPTER 6/ESR D40-PAGES 1-2) Is the DOR (QFPE) required to develop a hydraulic analysis/model of the pre and post-construction conditions of the entire building fire suppression system to verify capacity and design demand flow rates for the in-scope spaces?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: The capacity should not change. The design does not add or decrease space.

87. (Engineering Systems Requirements PART 3 – CHAPTER 6/ESR D40-PAGES 1-2) Can NAVFAC provide accurate and complete as-built plans of the fire suppression systems including pumps, piping and fittings, valves, backflow preventors, and heads?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Any existing drawings were provided to the A/E and included in the

RFP.

88. (PART 3 – CHAPTER 2 – Page 2, 2.3.5 Accessibility Requirements) (PART 3 – CHAPTER 4 – Page 1,

4.2 Space Relationships) Is the DOR responsible for completing an ADA/ABA compliance analysis of the entire facility including egress travel ways that extend beyond the prescribed work limits to the building exit?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: The DOR does not need to provide a complete building ADA/ABA analysis. The DOR should include the work areas as indicated in the RFP as well as a review of the life safety/egress path of travel to the building exits.

89. (PART 3 – CHAPTER 4 – Page 1, 4.2 Space Relationships) If the DOR is required to complete an

ADA/ABA of egress travel routes and deficiencies are identified beyond the prescribed work areas, would this be considered an unknown field condition warranting increased design and construction fee and schedule extension by contract modification?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Providing a life safety and ADA/ABA analysis is standard on every project. Again, these spaces already exist and this is a minor renovation. However, if there is an unforeseen condition beyond the scope, a design/construction contract modification may be warranted.

90. (PART 3 – CHAPTER 1 – Page 4, 1.3 Additional Project Scope) (PART 3 – CHAPTER – 5, 5.0 ROOM REQUIREMENTS) (Engineering Systems Requirements, PART 3 – CHAPTER 6/ESR D50) Has NRL or NAVFAC completed a power study for all new electrical equipment, or is the DOR required to complete a 30-day power study of existing electrical distribution systems to verify service capacity?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: NAVFAC does not believe a power study is required at this time.

Service capacity can be further studied through the contractors design process.

91. (PART 3 – CHAPTER 1 – Page 4, 1.3 Additional Project Scope) (PART 3 – CHAPTER – 5, 5.0 ROOM REQUIREMENTS) If the power study determines that existing building electrical services are not adequate and new equipment and services are required for the prescribed renovations, would this be considered an unknown field condition warranting increased design and construction fee and schedule by contract modification?

92. (PART 3 – CHAPTER 1 – Page 4, 1.3 Additional Project Scope) (PART 3 – CHAPTER – 5, 5.0 ROOM REQUIREMENTS) Is the contractor responsible for replacement of all existing electrical distribution equipment that are a component of the service for the prescribed work areas and do not comply with current code requirements (circuit panels, disconnect switches, conductors, conduit, etc.), or would this be considered an unknown field condition warranting increased design and construction fee and schedule extension by contract modification?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Any electrical upgrades not identified in the RFP to service the rooms identified in the RFP may be considered an unknown/unforseen field condition.

93. (PART 3 – CHAPTER 2 – Pages 2-3, 2.4 Appropriate Design) Excluding the information provided in the solicitation (room schedules and specifications), are there any specific NRL standards for finishes, fixtures, or equipment including flooring, lighting, or plumbing?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: No

94. (PART 3 – CHAPTER 6/ESR D30 – Pages 1-4) Does NRL have a preferred HVAC equipment manufacturer for large equipment (e.g., packaged RTU)?

95. (PART 3 – CHAPTER 2 – PAGE 2, SUBSECTION 2.3.7) Part 2.3.7 of the scope of work (Cybersecurity) indicates that all Industrial Controls Systems (ICS) (including DDC for HVAC, domestic water, fire/smoke alarms, and electrical) must comply with UFC/NIST/UFGS standards. Please verify that NRL’s existing ICS vendor (Siemens) is responsible for providing a system that complies with all cybersecurity standards.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: The Siemens system belongs to NRL. Cyber Security can be reached at (sechelp@nrl.navy.mil)

97. (PART 3 – CHAPTER 6/ESR D30 – Pages 1-4) Will any alterations or additions to the building exterior

(e.g., roof vent piping, packaged RTU) require review and approval by the NRL or NAVFAC Cultural Resources Office and/or the SHPO?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: No. NAVFAC does not expect any new work as identified in the RFP to trigger any further approvals beyond the NRL Customer.

98. (SECTION 01 35 26.05 20 PAGE 24, SUBSECTION 3.1.4) Based on the building age, it is likely that hazardous building materials exist unless they have been previously surveyed and abated. The scope of work does not identify any hazardous building materials (HAZMAT) including lead-based paint, asbestos containing materials (ACMs), mercury containing devices, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) containing materials or equipment, biohazards (mold), or other HAZMAT. Has NAVFAC completed a HAZMAT survey of all work areas and materials to be demolished or disturbed during construction, or is the Contractor required to complete this within the base scope of work?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: The last Hazmat Report the Customer has is from 2015. We will include this report as part of the response. However, NAVFAC recommends adding HAZMAT testing to the scope. Any abatement that would be required would be an unforeseen condition. See attachment Bldg 57 Data.

99. (SECTION 01 35 26.05 20 PAGE 24, SUBSECTION 3.1.4) If the Contractor is required to complete a HAZMAT survey following contract award and HAZMAT are identified, would this be considered an unknown field condition warranting increased design and construction fee and schedule extension by contract modification?

100. (As-Built drawing P3.01, RFP page 849 of 877) Are there any in-scope requirements for integration or alteration to the existing rainwater collection and distribution system (as-built drawings provided in solicitation)?

101. (Section 5.0, RFP page 252) (Pal SKA-101) The Section 5.0 Room Requirements for Room No. 107A

(Option 1) specifies one (1) door to be replaced. However, two (2) doors are identified on the conceptual plans (demolition and renovation) including a swing door and a pocket-door. Please clarify if both doors require removal and replacement.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: The pocket door currently runs from an office to the breakroom. With the new design, the breakroom will become the new restroom. Therefore, the location of the existing pocket door should be closed off with a new wall. Include finishes on the Office side of this new wall as well. The swing door to the existing restroom will be part of the demo. There will be a new swing door for the new restroom location.

102. (PART 3 – CHAPTER 6/ESR D30 – Page 1) A ceiling-mounted steam-coil fan-heater was observed in

Room 126 however it is not identified on the conceptual plans. This unit will interfere with the proposed shower units. Please clarify if the unit will be removed, relocated, and/or replaced.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Include the ceiling mounted steam coil fan heater and associated piping as part of the demolition.

103. (PART 3 – CHAPTER 6/ESR D30 – Page 1) Section D30 references ceiling-mounted fan-coil units (FCUs) in Rooms 214 and 216 however they are not identified on the conceptual demolition plans. Please verify that these will be removed and identify the extent of steam supply and condensate return piping to be demolished and capped.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: The fan coil units are listed in the Basis of Design document under Section 3.2 Demolition and Section 6.2 Demolition. The extent of steam supply and condensate return piping to be demolished and capped will be part of the contractors design.

104. (5.0. Room Requirements for 214 & 216, RFP pages 262-269) The Section 5.0 Room Requirements for

Rooms No. 214 and 216 specify thin-set porcelain tile. Observed conditions include a wood-framed floor system (joists and plywood). Replacement of the existing plywood subfloor and installation of a new subfloor system (e.g., subfloor rated plywood, cementitious leveling compound, decoupling membrane, and cement-board) is recommended to mitigate deflection and cracking of the new tile floor. This will create a floor transition issue (elevation delta) from the corridor to the lavatories. Measures to resolve this issue include ramping (complying with ADA/ABA) or raising the entire corridor floor (assuming that this does not create a code issue with the stair risers). Please clarify if NAVFAC has a preferred approach.

of the plywood subfloor to be replaced in each restroom on the second floor. We can review further once the floor is opened up. If further repairs are required, this would be an unforeseen condition.

105. (PART 3 – CHAPTER 6/ESR D30 – Page 2) The scope of work specifies a new packaged roof-top mounted unit (RTU) and energy recovery unit (ERV) for Room 107 (Option 1). Considering the first-floor location and size of the conditioned space, would NAVFAC permit an alternate design such as variable refrigerant-flow (VRF) system with exterior wall-mounted DX condenser and ceiling mounted cassettes.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: The intent of Bid Option 1 is to route a supply and exhaust duct from the new RTU/ERV serving the bathroom group to provide ventilation to Office – 109, Breakroom – 107, and 107A – Restroom. Heating and cooling of this area will be performed by the existing FCU.

106. (PART 3 – CHAPTER 6/ESR D30 – Pages 1-2, RFP pages 297-298) Option 1 of the scope of work includes new roof top mounted packaged RTU and ERV units. Has NAVFAC verified the structural capacity and integrity to support this additional load, or is the DOR required to complete a structural analysis during design?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: The DOR will need to verify structural capacity and provide a design that can support the new load.

107. (PART 3 – CHAPTER 6/ESR D30 – Pages 1-2, RFP pages 297-298) If the structural analysis of the wood-framed roof determines that reinforcement is required to support the new HVAC equipment (Option 1), would this be considered an unknown field condition warranting increased design and construction fee and schedule extension by contract modification?

108. (SECTION 01 91 00.15 Page 2) Does NRL have a preferred sequencing plan for construction activities within the 7 spaces?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: One pair of men’s and woman’s restrooms will need to remain available to the staff. NAVFAC recommends starting with the first floor restrooms, completing the first floor restrooms then, move to the second floor restrooms. Please explain your construction approach in your proposal.

109. (SECTION 01 14 00 Page 3 paragraph 1.3.3 Wok Outside Regular Hours, RFP page 8) Are there any restrictions affecting construction work periods (dates, days, and/or times) in any of the 7 spaces?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Work shall be done during normal business hours.

110. The nursing mother’s facility is being proposed for the second floor of the facility and is proposed by sketch SK-101 to be ADA compliant. It is our understanding that that a freight elevator provides the only means for a someone in a wheelchair to access the second floor. Please confirm if it is known whether the freight elevator is ADA accessible, and, if not, that the intent is to provide the accessible nursing mother’s room on a non-accessible building floor.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: The freight elevator can be reviewed during the design phase to verify ADA compliance.

111. Based on observations made during the site visit the subfloor for the second floor is plywood and is exhibiting signs of water damage. Please confirm if an add/alternate for replacing the subfloors may be included in the proposal.

of the plywood subfloor to be replaced in each restroom on the second floor. We can review further once the floor is opened up. If further repairs are required, this would be an unforeseen condition.

Per this suggestion, please include an add/alternate for replacing the rated plywood subfloor to mitigate deflection and cracking of the new tile floor. This add/alternate would recognize the 10% replacement cost included in the base bid.

112. The second floor Men’s Room includes a fan coil unit mounted below the ceiling. Please confirm if/that this unit is to be removed and replaced with a new mechanical unit for the space.

113. It does not appear that the Solicitation has any phasing requirements. Please confirm that all the restrooms within the scope of work can have construction work occurring simultaneously. If all restrooms can’t be taken out of service concurrently, please provide the sequencing NAVFAC requires to keep certain restrooms operational while renovation work is occurring.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: One pair of men’s and woman’s restrooms will need to remain available to the staff. NAVFAC recommends starting with the first floor restrooms, completing the first floor restrooms then, move to the second floor restrooms. Please explain your construction approach in your proposal.

114. Electrical Concept Drawing E-601 shows existing Panelboards “Q” and “D” to be located in rooms 105A and 105B respectively. These two rooms were not viewed during the site visit and the rooms are not reflected on any of the as-built drawings. Can NAVFAC confirm if Rooms 105A and 105B are located toward the front of Building 57 near the Bid Option Break Room #107?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: See drawing included in this Amendment for Panel locations. See attachment 0571FL Panel.

115. The first-floor bathroom renovation work will require some saw cutting and removal of concrete slab for the revised plumbing fixture layout. Please advise if there are existing utilities buried within the concrete slab such as electrical conduit/cabling, fire alarm conduit/cabling, etc.

GOVERNMETN RESPONSE: NAVFAC has limited as-built drawings which have been provided.

We can review this further during the design phase.

116. Can 11 x 17 pages be used for schedule and drawings (if option for drawings is exercised)?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: All design review submittals will be submitted electronically for review by the Customer and NAVFAC using Dr. Checks. Only the final, 100% Issued for Construction Set will require hard copies at half-size. NAVFAC will require 3 sets and NRL will require 2 sets. This will include disks that include everything plus the AutoCad and/or Revit files.

For the proposal, the contractor can provide 11”x17” pages if required.
