Page Section Para. Dwg #
General Requirements –
Time for Completion; SOW
3.1
Please confirm whether submittals, procurement, equipment ordering, and other administrative/preparatory work may proceed during the pool season, even if onsite construction cannot begin until after September 20, 2026.
Work that does not require being at the site may proceed during the pool season.
2 SOW 4.2; Section 01 35 26
SOW 4.2 requires the APP and AHA plan to be submitted within 3 days from issuance of this Task Order and approved prior to construction activities. Section 01 35 26 includes separate APP/AHA timing requirements. Please confirm the required post-award timing for APP and AHA submissions and approvals before field mobilization.
Follow 1.9 ACCIDENT PREVENTION PLAN (APP) in 01 35 26 in ATTACHMENT A – Scope of Work.
3 SOW 3.10
SOW 3.10 states that all Contractor employees, subcontractors, suppliers, and supplier employees must have valid Government-issued passes/badges and that delays caused by failure to obtain passes/badges will not justify a time extension. Please confirm whether short-duration subcontractors, suppliers, testing agencies, and manufacturer/startup representatives may use one-day visitor passes for construction-phase access, or whether all personnel must obtain longer-duration DBIDS/base access badges prior to performing work.
See 01 14 00 Work Restrictions - "Participation in the DBIDS is not mandatory, and Contractor personnel may apply for One-Day Passes at the Base Visitor Control Office to access an installation."
SOW 5.1, 5.2;
Architectural
Demolition Scope
Asbestos and lead test reports are not available for Building 582, but the project requires demolition of gypsum board ceilings, acoustical ceiling/grid, paint disturbance, HVAC demolition, and electrical demolition. Please confirm whether the Government will provide asbestos/lead/hazardous material testing prior to construction, or whether the Contractor must include hazardous material testing/survey costs prior to disturbing ceilings, walls, insulation, paint, or other suspect materials.
Since the NAS Building 582 was built in 1992- 93, hazardous materials are not anticipated.
5 SOW 3.5, 3.6;
Section 01 35 26
Please confirm whether electrical outages required for demolition/reconnection may be performed during normal working hours since the affected spaces will not remain in operation, or whether outages must be scheduled after hours/weekends.
Electrical outages may be scheduled during normal working hours since the building will be unoccupied during construction.
6 Drawing M-601;
Section 03 30 00
The project includes a small concrete equipment pad for two condensing units, but M-601 requires concrete testing including one set of six cylinders per truck and slump testing at commencement, when cylinders are made, and for each batch of concrete. Please confirm whether full concrete testing requirements apply to this small equipment pad, or whether testing may be waived/reduced by the Government.
Please perform concrete testing as required by the contract documents.

REFERENCE QUESTION
7 Drawing M-101;
Drawing M-601
M-101 states the new concrete pad must be sized for selected equipment, maintain manufacturer clearances, extend to the exterior wall, and not disturb existing vegetation. M-601 provides a section detail but does not provide plan dimensions. Please confirm whether final pad dimensions may be based on selected equipment and manufacturer clearances, field verified after award, provided the pad extends to the exterior wall and avoids existing vegetation.
Follow directions of Keynote #9 on M-101 and Section A3 on M-601.
8 SOW 7.8.2; Drawing A-101
SOW 7.8.2 and Drawing A-101 require demolition of the existing access panel in Room 102, but the new work plan does not clearly identify a replacement access panel. Please confirm whether a new access panel is required in Room 102. If required, please provide size, material, finish, fire-rating if applicable, and location requirements.
There is no new access panel required. 0003
9 SOW 7.8.1; Drawing A-101
The SOW requires protection of existing wall-mounted fire alarm devices during ceiling demolition. Please confirm whether any fire alarm contractor involvement, device removal/reinstallation, standby, testing, or recertification is required, or whether protection in place by the demolition/ceiling contractor is acceptable.
Protect and do not disturb wall mounted fire alarm system. No fire alarm contractor is required unless fire alarm system is damged during demolition by contractor.
10 SOW 7.9.4, 7.9.5;
Drawing M-101
SOW 7.9.4 and 7.9.5 require all exterior wall penetrations to be sealed watertight after demolition and installation of HVAC/electrical work. M-101 also requires sealing exterior wall penetrations after removal and installation.
Please clarify the required repair method for abandoned penetrations: sealant only, masonry infill/patching, sleeve/cap, or another specified detail.
Openings up to 2" sealant and stainless steel cap on both side. Openings 4" or more fill with non-shrink grout and paint to match adjacent color of masonry (exterior and interior)
11 Drawing M-101
M-101 indicates condensate drains routed outside and spilled to grade/splash blocks in suitable locations. Please confirm exterior condensate discharge to grade is acceptable for all three ductless split systems and identify any restrictions for discharge locations near walkways, vegetation, building walls, or public areas.
Spill condensate onto splash block, which will empty onto permeable surface.
Avoid spilling onto sidewalk, pavement or other surface where the condensate could become a hazard or nuisance.
