Although the RFP is providing 5 weeks from solicitation until the due date, and does provide fairly well established site plans and floor plans, there are still 1,400 pages of the RFP to digest. In addition, the design of the engineering systems for the building, in particular for the foundations and pool, is no small task. We respectfully request a two week bid extension until December 3rd (one week would push into the Federal Holiday). This would allow all bidders ample time to digest the RFP, design/engineer the necessary systems, and provide a complete and competitive price to the Gov't.

Refer to PPI 1 response.

What is the full range of air temperatures to be achieved in the pool area?

The inside conditions list 78-88F summer and 68F winter. Will there be any simulations that require colder temperatures within the space when the water is at the low end of the range at 37F?

Temperatures should be maintained as indicated in inside conditions.

14 10/27/20 Part 3 B3010

Section B301001 notes that steep slope roofing systems are preferred, and that standing seam metal roof is the only acceptable steep slope roof system.

Section B301002 notes that low slope roofing is acceptable, and that a three-ply built up roof with a modified bit cap sheet is the only acceptable low slope system. The drawings in part 6.B show a low sloped roof. Please confirm that a low slope, three-ply modified bit roof is required for this project.

Contractor has the option to provide a steep slope standing seam roof, low slope modified bitumen roof or a combination of the two. Steep slope is preferred however due to building size this may not be feasible in all locations.

15 10/27/20 Part 3 F104001

The RFP calls for tie-off cleats around the pool.

Will the submersibles be "propelled" while in the pool, and if so, what amount of thrust do they create?

No, submersibles will not operate under water. Tie offs are to prevent drift during submersion and retrieval processes.

16 10/27/20 Part 3 2.3

One of the project priorities is for "complete blackout conditions." Will anyone be allowed on the Pool Deck during these blackout conditions (full fall protection into the pool)? Emergency Exit Lighting/Signs must always remain on per life safety codes (including back-up power or batteries). Will the Navy have the authority to allow exit lighting to be turned off? We also assume this means any supplemental lighting on HVAC equipment, OH Cranes, etc?

Yes, pool deck will be used for training during blackout conditions.

Emergency lighting shall remain illuminated.

17 10/27/20 10 3 3.2.2.5

Part 3, Chapter 3, Page 10, Paragraph 3.2.2.5 states that "Permeable paving is not a preferred strategy" for stormwater management. However, permeable paving appears to be required for parking spaces in multiple other sections. Please clarify if permeable paving is required, or not desired.

Permeable pavement is not required.

Part 3, Chapter 3, Page 13, Paragraph 3.2.7.2 gives very specific orientation for the POV parking lot. Is this orientation a requirement, or is an alternative layout acceptable?

Referenced paragraph supports RFP site plans and addresses multiple RFP requirements beyond parking orientation. Concept shown is one Government approved alternative. If the Contractor desires another alternative they do so at the risk of obtaining Government approval.

19 10/27/20 14 3 3.2.7.5

Part 3, Chapter 3, Page 14, Paragraph 3.2.7.5 states "Provide connection from bike/jogging path along entrance drive to Signal Point Road." No connection is shown on the drawings in Part 6. Please clarify if a 6-ft wide paved path is to continue north along to 20-ft clearzone of the fenceline on the western edge of the site, or if the bike path terminates at the secure entrance.

Provide connection from bike/jogging path along entrance drive to Signal Point Road.

20 10/27/20

Part 3, Chapter 6, Page 2 Paragraph G2010 states "The minimum PCC pavement must be 7" PCC surface course of 4,500 psi concrete." However, on Page 3, Paragraph G201003, PCC concrete is specified as 650 psi flex mix (which is typicall for NAFVAC projects). Please clarify is we are to use 4,500 compressive concrete, 650 flex mix, or a combination of both and where each mix should be used.

Concrete pavements shall have a minimum unconfined compressive strength of 4,500 psi and a flexural strength of 650 psi. Shall be used where concrete paving is shown in RFP.

21 10/27/20

Part 3, Chapter 6, Page 6, Paragraph G303006 and G303007 make references to Erosion and Sediment Control permit and State Stormwater Management permit. Should we assume that this is meant to reference the Construction General Permit, as VA does not have an ESC or Stormwater Management permit?

Yes, the Erosion Control and Stormwater must be reviewed and approved by VA DEQ as part of the General Permit.

22 10/27/20 B201001

Solicitation drawing elevation show insulated precast panels as the exterior wall types. RFP B201001 states 3 options for exterior closure. Are insulated precast panels the preferred option for the exterior? If not, why indicate insulated precast panels on the drawings?

Bid per RFP.

48 10/30/20 Part 3 - Chapter 6 F104001

The RFP is calling for an "external" 40,000 gallon surge tank, with a modulating float valve.

The modulating float valve requries the surge tank to sit at the same elevation as the pool. Looking at C- 104, the area between the exterior of the building by the Pool Deck and the project LOD's has a proposed 12" water line, 10" sanitary line, second sanitary line, and underground communications ductbank running in this area, all under a paved roadway.

There is a little room outside the fence line, but that area is designated as a potential bioretention pond. This surge tank requires a 4,500 GPM gravity connection between the pool and surge tank, and return circulation lines to the pool equipment room (necessitating the surge tank be somewhere in the vacinity of the pool and equipment room).

Given all of the site constraints above, and requirement for the tank to be in the vacinity of the pool, please confirm if the surge tank could be placed below the pool deck, inside the building footprint.

This would provide long term energy savings for the Gov't, doesn't result in any hazards to the building/occupants, and can still accomidate the loads passing above for the pool deck.

At contractors option Surge tank can be located external to the building near the pool equipment area or adjacent to the pool between the pool and the entry to the pool area, but not within the drive aisle. Concrete Surge tank cap must comply with ESR B10 structural requirements. Open metal grating is not acceptable.

49 10/30/20 Part 3 - Chapter 3 3.1.4.1

Although the site appears to be virgin ground, can the Gov't please confirm that there are no known obstructions below grade.

There will be an extensive amount of work below grade on this project (foundations, sheeting/shoring, etc), and encountering manmade obstructions could cause significant delays during construction.

Bid per RFP.
