CLINS 0010 &

Buildings 1245 & 1246: Options 07 & 08: States to provide a unit price for replacing metal roof deck, per current structural (hurricane and seismic) code, and install rigid insulation on top of the roof deck, complete in accordance with the drawings and specifications, but excluding work provided in another Line Item.. This will require the new fascia size to increase by 6”. It is understood that the metal decking may need to be replaced if damaged panels are observed, however what is the purpose of the insulation as it relates to the scope included in base bid scopes, where there is no insulation shown to be added

(A-301) nor demolished (AD-102B/C). Is it possible the government chooses to replace metal decking and exclude insulation? Or add insulation and not replace decking?

This is an optoin to this construction contract. Because this is an option to the construction contract it will be the contractor's responsibility to provide the design to replace the roof deck in its entirity. the design will be reviewed by MCAS Beaufort Public Works Engineering Department.

62 S-302, Others CLINS 0013 &

Buildings 1245 & 1246: Options 09 & 10: Repair offsite in ceiling from misaligned pre-tensioned concrete attic floor slabs. Can the government please provide additional information to what is being asked to be repaired and by what means?

There are no specific indicators in the drawings that differentiates or explains this scope that we can find.

The pre-tensioned concrete roof panels are not flush along the perimeter of the 3rd floor exterior wall. The outter panel is slightly higher where it abutts to the next panel. The original contractor infilled this with drywall and mud to make it flush. this condition has failed over the years and needs to be addressed and made smooth before painting the ceiling.

63 A-601, I-001 CLINS 0014 &

Buildings 1245 & 1246: Options 11 & 12: States to provide a unit price for 14Ga metal frames to the 72 door frames with new exterior slabs, complete in accordance with the drawings and specifications, but excluding work provided in another Line Item. Is there a process to how replacement will be determined to include whether door frames need to be replaced, repaired or left as is. For example in the base bid does the contractor own field measuring these openings or other inspection means to include mock-ups to determine the frames condition?

Again, this is in the amendment and is not reflected on the original design drawings. Exterior doors and frames are to be replaced.

67 AD401 DA41 Buildings 1245 & 1246: The drawings lack a

DFH schedule and there are also no specifications for door hardware. Please clarify the scope of work to be provided by the contractor for all doors to be replaced on this project. It is unclear what is to be provided in terms of closers, weather seals, hinges, thresholds, etc.

The amendment calls for replacing all the entry doors, therefore new hardware is required and it is stated that this hardware match the existing

(hinges, closers, kickplate, etc.

The original design called for the original exterior door locksets to be removed with batteries removed and placed in individual boxes that are marked with the room number they came from. These locks are to be reinstalled on the door they came from when construction is completed.

All interior doors will be addressed as stated in the original design.

68 AD401 DA41 Buildings 1245 & 1246: When disassembling the existing card swap door hardware/handles, what is the expectation by the government to catalogue and document the current condition of these. For instance it is likely that parts will be missing, broken or in poor shape when dissambeling these and an understanding of the process to replace these parts / components will be necessary for reinstallation. There is no spec or drawing notes stating this guidance. Thank you.

The original design called for the original exterior door locksets to be removed with batteries removed and placed in individual boxes that are marked with the room number they came from. These locks are to be reinstalled on the door they came form when construction is completed.

Catalog:

Remove lockset, remove batteries, place each lockeset, and all srews, strickplates, etc. into an individual box, bag, bin, etc., and mark the container with the room number from the room the lock came from. Store all these locks in a secure, conditioned space and re-install at the end of construction on the door of the room they were originally on.

69 AD401 DA41 Buildings 1245 & 1246: From the site visit it appears that room signage is installed to each door slated to be demolished.

Building 332: Please clarify the amount of sidewalks to be replaced on site as it relates to the replacements shown on CD101 and CS101.

The condition of the sidewalk that wraps around the building is in poor shape and will likely need to come up in order to properly grade wash outs and provide a 3:1 slope.

replace all sidewalks within 40 feet of the building's perimeter. This may exceed the 8,000 sqft disturbance threshold and therefore stormwater permits may be required.

Building 332: Reference Keynote #2 which lists to install a new sidewalk section across the front of the building (Specifically the Noth/Front side of the building). Does this make sense considering it is a small section of green area that also requires new grading at a 3:1 slope?

Essentially this newly graded area will have a ledge or the sidewalk will need to be slanted.

Recommend that the existing sidewalk that is right next to this section be repurposed and utilized.

New sidewalk provides ADA accessible path, the existing sidewalk does not.
