Please confirm that Terrapin work shall not be in our contract and clarify what work will be done by Terrapin and what work needs to be in our contract.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: General note 9 on page C-002 applies. If a connection fee can be negotiated, Terrapin will construct all site water utilities up to 5’ outside the building. This contract is responsible for constructing all site water utilities from the building to 5’ outside the building. However, if a connection fee cannot be negotiated, then this contract is responsible for constructing all site water utilities except the connection to the Tesystem. See RFI 101.

63. Please provide a geotech report for this project, so that we may review.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: All recommendations from the geotech report are directly incorporated into the contract documents (drawings and specs). See contract documents for subsurface requirements.

64. The one line on drawing EP-601 calls out for: SF6A 15KV, 600A, 4-WAY, SF6 GAS MV SWITCH WITH 2-SWITCHES, 2 VFI CIRCUIT BREAKERS. Work Note 2 on drawing ES-102 states to "PROVIDE 6-WAY MV SF6 SWITCH". Should a SF6A 15KV, 600A, 4-WAY or a SF6A 15KV, 600A, 6-WAY be provided? If it is a 6 Way, what should the configuration be (I.E. 2 switch and 4 FIs)?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Provide 4-way SF6 gas switch per EP601.

65. "Work Note 5 on drawing ES-102 states to ""PROVIDE VENTILATED 15KVA, 13.2KV-208Y/120V, 1

PHASE, 3W NEMA 3R DRY TYPE PAD MOUNTED

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Transformer should be a single phase liquid filled pad mounted transformer in accordance with UFGS 26 12 21. See Eaton’s Maxishrub 15kVA model for reference.

66. TRANSFORMER"". Is there a specification for this single dry type transformer?

The only one provided is for the 3 phase liquid filled transformers. Should this single phase transformer follow the 3 phase spec? "

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Transformer should be a single phase liquid filled pad mounted transformer in accordance with UFGS 26 12 21. See Eaton’s Maxishrub 15kVA model for reference.

67. Sheet A-135 states that we are to coat underside of structure and all structural members for fire proofing purposes. Spec section 07 81 00, 2.1, states we are to provide an intumescent fire protective coating as tested in accordance with ASTM E119 or UL 262. Neither ASTM nor UL had tested a spray applied fireproofing to a cold formed metal truss assembly. That being the case, there isn't a means to determine how much fireproofing to apply to the cold form truss members to achieve a rating. As a result, please provide the following:

a. 1. Confirmation that spray fire proofing is not required at the roof trusses.

b. Detail for such spray fireproofing at the roof trusses. This should include thickness required for the desired rating, as ASTM / UL does not have this assembly published.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: There is no intumescent thin film coating used on sheet A-135 in the CUP.

Only note 16 is used on this sheet.

Note 16: Exposed ceiling, paint; see finish legend There is no painting of the roof trusses. Note 20 is used in rooms 202 and 215.

Note 20: In rooms 202 and 215 provide additional layer of 5/8" type 'X' gypsum board to the underside of ceiling assembly. Ceiling assembly to be in accordance with UL P515. Provide level 3 finish for gypsum board.

68. The bottom middle section of L-102 references detail A5/L502 for a typical removable bollard. This detail is not included on L502. Please confirm the detail referenced should be A4/L502. If not, please provide detail A5 on L502.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Correct. The removable bollard detail is A4/L502.

69. The second callout on column 1 on l-102 states "See C, A2 & A5 on L-503 for bollard type". L-503 only has details A1, A3 and C3. Please confirm the labels on L-503 are incorrect and the callout should be "See A1, A3, & C3 on L-503 for bollard type".

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Confirmed. The labels are incorrect and the callout should read “See A1, A3 and C3 on L-503 for bollard types”.

70. Who is responsible to provide the AV equipment credenza for HFGCS Secure Ready Room 120C (as called out in 274000/2.3/D, etc.)?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Credenza will be furnished as part of FF&E Package.

71. In specification section 274000/1.13.2/C, it is stated “The system Contractor shall provide an on-line diagnostic maintenance support capability as specified herein”, but we have not found further specification of this capability. Could further detail on this please be provided?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: On-line diagnostic capability is not required or desired.

72. Reference the control drawing “Zone Temperature Control – VAV Box with Reheat Controls” on MI716. In lieu of the specified one AO signal to modulate the cold air damper, is it ok to use two BOs to do the same proportion-integral modulation with the same precision?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Propose in accordance with the RFP.

73. Same question as previous paragraph for the vav box hot water valve.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Propose in accordance with the RFP.

74. Reference the control drawing “Zone Temperature Control – VAV Box with Reheat Controls” (¶3.3.1) on MI716. The depiction of AI1 and AI2 as two separate physical inputs to the box controller is not correct for any ddc manufacturer. Velocity pressure is measured using the pitot array factory installed by the box manufacturer. That pressure is sent by tubing to a pressure transducer integral to the ddc controller. The transducer converts it to an analog signal usable by the controller. Thus there is only one AI to the controller for flow measurement. If the engineer simply eliminated AI1 from the drawing it would be accurate both physically and schematically.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: A single AI is sufficient provided it serves as a calibrated air volume sensing device as specified in 23 30 00 section 2.12.2.

75. Reference the control drawing in ¶3.2.12 and the sequence in 3.2.12.2.2 on MI716. It would be helpful if the local reset button required in the sequence were also shown on the drawing. Same suggestion applies to other control drawings also.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Local reset button to be mounted in equipment control panel enclosure, adjacent to the equipment on wall, or on equipment. Final locations on plans can be coordinated during DDC Contractor Design Drawings submission.

76. ¶3.4.1 on MI711 has the following two requirements: (1) “Each chiller shall be provided with the following factory controls: Flow switch, flow meter, entering and leaving chilled water temperature sensors”. (2) “Each chiller shall be provided with a BACnet communication board”.

a. It would be helpful if those two requirements on MI711 were also inserted as schedule notes in the chiller schedule to make sure they do not get missed by chiller bidders.

b. For each chiller MI710 shows AI points for entering chw temperature, leaving chw temperature, and chw flow rate. For example AI16, AI17, and AI18 for CH-1. Are these points acquired by the building ddc system via the BACnet interface to the chiller factory control panel, or are these field installed points in addition to the identical chiller factory installed sensors?

c. For each chiller MI710 shows a BI point for flow switch status. For example BI13 for CH-1. Are these points acquired by the building ddc system via the BACnet interface to the chiller factory control panel, or are these field installed points in addition to the identical chiller factory installed flow switches?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE:

a. Propose in accordance with the RFP.

b. Intention is to utilize chiller factory controls via BACnet interface.

c. Intention is to utilize chiller factory controls via BACnet interface.

77. MI710 shows one AO point for each chiller identified as “chiller control”. For example, AO-5 for CH-1.

What is the purpose of this point?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: AO Point “chiller control” is to allow master chiller plant controller to sequence chillers.

78. Air handler drawings such as MI702 and MI704 show “averaging” duct mounted or AHU mounted relative humidity sensors. For example, AI14 on MI704. Unlike averaging temperature sensors, we are not aware of any manufacturer who makes an averaging duct RH sensor.

a. Is a conventional single point probe RH sensor acceptable?

b. If a single point probe is not acceptable, one solution is to use a sampling tube system like those used on duct smoke detectors to send a mix of air to an enclosure mounted on the outside of the duct or air handler. A humidity sensor designed to be wall mounted could be installed in the external enclosure. Is that acceptable?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Single point probe is acceptable, see specification 23 09 13 Section 2.7.4.

79. Work Note M118 on MI111 says “exposed controls conduit and supports must be galvanized steel with industrial coating.” This note is applied to Room 105 which is a loading dock on the first floor in the southeast corner of Area A. Where the note in applied inside Room 105 the word “(TYP)” appear next to the note. This combination raises several questions:

a. “Industrial coating” is a broad description. Does that mean just extra thick galvanized, or plastic coating, or an ASTM salt spray standard, or ??.

b. It seems Room 105 is the only loading dock, so what is meant by the “Typical” tag applied to Work Note M118 in Room 105? On MI111 and all other drawings, to what specific other Rooms does Work Note M118 (MI111) apply? Work Note M118 does not appear on any other Mxxx Controls Floor Plans.

c. Does the Work Note M118 (MI111) conduit standard also apply to outdoor conduit for the chillers?

d. Does the Work Note M118 (MI111) conduit standard also apply to Rooms U-14 or U-15?

e. Work Note M118 on MI111 does not exactly match Work Note MI117 on MP111. Should it? Most of the same questions still apply after discovering Work Note MI117 on MP111.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE:

a. See specification 23 09 13 BACnet Direct Digital Control for HVAC section 2.4 for requirements.

b. Typical note on MI111 is for all controls conduit in Room 118. See response to ‘a.’ above.

c. Yes. See response to ‘a.’ above.

d. No, U-14 and U-15 are mechanically cooled. See response to ‘a.’ above.

e. Work notes relate to different scopes of work. Propose in accordance with the RFP.

80. Reference M-801. Could chiller automatic isolation valves be located indoors? Lower cost – less expensive enclosure, less corrosion issues, no heater required, less expensive wiring.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: See RFI 64.

81. Reference DWGS EP-601 & ES-102 - The one line on drawing EP-601 calls out for: SF6A 15KV, 600A, 4- WAY, SF6 GAS MV SWITCH WITH 2-SWITCHES, 2 VFI CIRCUIT BREAKERS. Work Note 2 on drawing ES- 102 states to "PROVIDE 6-WAY MV SF6 SWITCH". Should a SF6A 15KV, 600A, 4-WAY or a SF6A 15KV, 600A, 6-WAY be provided? If it is a 6 Way, what should the configuration be (I.E. 2 switch and 4 FIs)?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: See RFI 64.

82. Reference DWG ES-102 - Work Note 5 on drawing ES-102 states to "PROVIDE VENTILATED 15KVA, 13.2KV-208Y/120V, 1 PHASE, 3W NEMA 3R DRY TYPE PAD MOUNTED

TRANSFORMER". Is there a specification for this single dry type transformer? The only one provided is for the 3 phase liquid filled transformers. Should this single phase transformer follow the 3 phase spec?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: See RFI 65 and 66.

83. Factor 1 – Experience Submittal requirements states that Projects that have not attained beneficial occupancy will not be considered. Will the government consider projects that are over 80% complete with a recent interim CPARS evaluation and PPQ to allow for recent highly relevant work with the MDE on an active airfield?

Please confirm.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Confirm. No ceiling inside of RF Building.

87. Specification 09 68 00 details CPT-1 through CPT-5 but not CPT-6. Is the specification for CPT-6 the same as CPT-4?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Confirmed, CPT-6 to be same as CPT-4.

88. Does the Cable Vault U-03A (A-114) require any floor, base, wall or ceiling finishes? It is not shown on the finish schedule.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: To be sealed concrete.

89. Detail A4/A-762 shows a solid-surface material backsplash but the elevations where the detail is referenced all show a ceramic tile backsplash. Please clarify.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Backsplash material to be ceramic tile as shown in elevation. Detail to be tile material vs. solid surface.

90. Specification 06 20 00 calls for “Alaskan Yellow Cedar” for WD-1.

94. Cannot find the IGCE in the RFP for the project. On page 75 0f 76 of the RFP the estimated price range for the project is stated to be between $25 mill. and $100 mill. Is there a 1395 available for the project?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: The IGCE and/or DD1391 will not be available to the public.

95. Is this really the intent for the construction fence. Looks like it should be for the permanent fence.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Install construction fence per detail B3 on C-501.

96. Looks like the pre-demolition of Bldgs 152, 1522A, 1523, and 1527 has been done, but are not sure if the SOG floor was still present. Are the SOG concrete floors and foundations of these four.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: The existing slab on grade has already been completely removed from the facilities.

97. 4) Bldgs still remain and required to be Demo’d as part of Phase 1 demo ?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: See keynote 8 on C-111 and RFI #96.

98. A-611 General Note 19 states that all interior wood doors & frames are to have a minimum sound rating of STC-35. Are the frames for these openings to be 14GA continuously welded frames as noted in 083473 Sound Control Door Assemblies 2.1.1.2?

UNSATISFACTORY MATERIALS, UNDERCUT THE EXISTING FILL TO A DEPTH OF AT LEAST 2 FEET

AND BACKFILL WITH NEW COMPATED FILL. AFTER UNDERCUTTING THE EXISTING FILL AND

PRIOR TO PLACEMENT OF ANY NEW COMPACTED FILL, THE UNDERCUT SUBGRADE MUST BE

OBSERVED DURING PROOFROLLING BY THE CONTRACTING OFFICER OR THEIR

REPRESENTATIVE. This is a very general statement and not identified sufficiently enough on the drawings in order to qualify the amount of area that will require undercutting. Please provide allowance for undercutting (cu.yd.)

to carry in our proposal.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Boring locations are shown on civil drawings. Boring logs are shown on sheets B-300 through B-314. The boring logs show the location of existing fill.

104. Reference is made to FAR Clause 52.211-12 Liquidated Damages – Construction on page 55 of 76 established at $24,161 for each calendar day of delay until the work is completed and accepted. The value established makes some sense for the new P-003 construction perhaps, but is questionable for the completion of the demolition of existing buildings 1539 and 1558 that cannot be demolished until the government occupies new P- 3003, unless the areas being created by the removal of these existing buildings have plans for immediate use behind the completion of this contract. Please clarify.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: See RFI #31.

105. Reference is made to Spec. section 01 50 00-1.3 and 3.1. But for a stockpile location that has been designated on the Civil Drawings, there appears to be no designated areas for Contractor / Subcontractor staging for trailers and worker parking. Please confirm that the existing parking lots at the west end of the project site outside of the LOD that is to have existing striping to be removed is an option for temporary construction trailers and POV parking for Contractor staff and construction work force. Advise of any additional locations that would be acceptable to the Contracting Officer.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: The contractors may use the parking lots for laydown.

106. Dwg. A-431 Elevator Pit Plans says see Structural drawings for waterproofing requirements, but structural dwg. A3/S-301 does not indicate any waterproofing for the elevator pit. Is waterproofing required for the elevator pita and what type of waterproofing is to be used?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Provide waterproofing sheet membrane and protection board in accordance with Specification Section 07 13 53.

107. The one line on drawing EP-601 calls out for: SF6A 15KV, 600A, 4-WAY, SF6 GAS MV SWITCH WITH 2-SWITCHES,…
