An architectural detail shall be developed during design to properly (aesthetically and in compliance with NEC) detail the wainscotting in the area of cover plates. Do not arbitrarily cover any device with wainscotting.

28 DMS 05/27/26 Doors

Spec 1020, page 41 of 61, calls to replace all doors receiving cipher locks if necessary. This statement brings enormous cost to the project since we won't know if the new cipher locks work with the existing doors until final installation. Please elaborate on this issue.

Exhaust airflow criteria Item 1 / 6 ACH note

The RFP states the designer may verify and reduce make-up and exhaust flow rates if possible and beneficial to the Government. Existing drawing notes indicate exhaust airflow is based on 6 air changes per hour for improved exhaust performance. In many cases, 6 ACH is higher than the minimum exhaust required by ASHRAE but may provide enhanced humidity control in bathrooms/showers. Please clarify whether the intent is to meet ASHRAE minimum exhaust/ventilation requirements, or to maintain an enhanced exhaust flow rate of 6 ACH for bathrooms/showers and similar spaces.

Designer shall consider all applicable Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) and ASHRAE and provide a properly designed system.
