PPIs 004 PPI – Insulated Wall Panels with Standing Seam at Maintenance Facility… Section 13 34 19 calls out for a “Foam Insulation Core Wall Panel for the Maintenance Building, but Wall Section A4 on Sheet AB501 references the use of an insulated wall panel with a standing seam. No information is provided which identifies the wall panel thickness, gauge metal thickness and R-value.
Standing seam are typically used on metal roof panels and parapet caps, but do not intended for use on
| vertical exterior wall surfaces. Please clarify design intent. | 83 | Since the VMF is Pre-Engineered Metal Building, the building envelope is performance specified. Please refer to Building Envelope Requirements on AB101 for U-values. The gauge will be per PEMB manufacturer. The intent of the insulated panels with a standing seam is to have the profile of the roof and walls match and align with a modern appearance. While it is unconventional to use standing seam in vertical applications it is not entirely uncommon. For bidding purposes, assume standing seam; however, feasible will vary depending on PEMB manufacturer. Substiutions will be considered after construction award during the submittal process. The detail referenced is an atypical location which occurs in the multipurpose area. |
| 067 | The piping from the seawall to the dispensers is called out as DW piping on Sheet MW112, note 4. |
But in section 33 52 10 2.4.1, of the specs, the piping is called out as single-wall stainless-steel.
| Please advise. | 138 | See revised sheets MW112 and MW611, See amendmnet #008. | ||

| 011 | These questions pertain to the Hazardous Materials Storage Building |
Please provide the electrical requirements for the Hazardous Materials Storage Building listed in Section 13 34 20 / # 2.2. No electrical requirements were included in the specification.
Drawing AB101 shows separate storage bays needed, but the building electrical requirements and alarms typically required for the storage requirements are not included in the specification.
Also, on Drawing AB101 the 4 bay chemical storage building will need to be moved out further from the larger building wall, because of the clearance needed for the electrical gear installed on back wall to support the separate bay storage.
Also on Drawing AB101, we recommend that Hazardous Material Storage 119 be quoted as a separate 4 hour fire-rated chemical storage building that will be installed outside next to the larger building with door access directly into the chemical storage building installed on the outside of the larger structure.
| The types of chemicals to be stored in the Hazardous Material Storage Building are not specified. | 160 | 1. See revised Specification Section 13 34 20 for added lighting and electrical requirements. 2. Power connection added to revised sheet EB111, EB605 and EB608 send in amendment #006. Light fixtures originally shown on plans are deleted in revised Sheets EB121 and EB606. 3. Electrical junction box connection point shall be located on top or side to allow access. See revised Specification Section 13 34 20. Clarification: terminology in specification intended for the prefabricated storage building (rooms X115-118) rather than room 119. See amendment #008 for revised specification 13 34 20 and revised sheets EB121 and EB606. |

| 027 | Sheet SB 106, General note 6 directs us to detail B1/SB502 for additional information regarding the channel strut |
drop supports and lateral channel strut bracing. Be advised there is no Sheet SB 502. Our assumption is that B1/SB 502 should read B1/SB 503. Please confirm.
On sheet SB 503 there are two details that apply to the drop supports and the lateral channel strut bracing; C4 and B1. Both of those details provide specific maximum lengths for elements of the vertical hanger rods and stiffeners. Neither reflect the actual distance from the channel support ceiling grid at 16 ft. ABF to the underside of the MBM support steel, some 15’ +/- higher up. Please review the referenced details and provide further information as it pertains to the actual needed length of the hanger rod and stiffeners drop supports and seismic bracing.
| 275 | The note should reference SB503, as stated in the question. The 18" dimension provided in the detail references the spacing between channel nuts, as required to stiffen the hanger, not the overall length of the hangers. The detail has been updated to clarify and the detail reference has been updated on SB106 as well. See revised sheet SB106, see amendment #008. | ||
| 147 | Amendment 0004 references revised drawings SB104 & SB105 that do not appear to have been included. Please provided these updated plan sheets | 297 | SB105 was revised in Amendment #006, SB104 not revised. |
| 030 | Amendment #4, Section 01 14 00, 1.2 Special Scheduling Requirements, Paragraph e. |
e. Fuel facility must be completed and operational before decommissioning existing fuel tanks at Service Pier. All fuel facility construction activities shall only occur between 1 September and 1 January.
This paragraph requires further clarification. Does the construction period for “Fuel Facility Construction” between 1 September and 1 January include the following:
Excavation and placement of new fueling UST’s?
Installation of new UST accessories?
Installation of new fueling shed and piping within?
Excavation and placement of new containment fuel lines from the UST location to KB dock?
Piping systems on KB dock?
If so, be advised that this instruction as written places a severe constraint on the schedule and requires that these excavations and installations happen in the wet months further complicating and slowing the fueling facility scope of work. In addition costs associated with excavating in the wet months will cost more. Providing erosion control measures and BMP maintenance will include the use of Baker tanks and pumping systems to handle the water
| runoff. | 302 | Conform to specification 01 14 00. |
| 031 | In section 31 62 16.19, paragraph 3.4.1 describes how to drive the pier, trestle, fender, and camel piles but they did | |

| containment units in the tank pad. Please confirm that these are required. | 305 | Provide components described by items V & Y on sheet MW511. |
| 034 | Fuel Tanks: |
1. Drawing MW611 does not indicate transition sumps where the fuel piping transitions from underground to aboveground (on the filtration side). Transition sumps are recommended. They provide a monitored, accessible space for the underground fusible piping to transition to Sch. 40 aboveground piping. Should
| transition sumps be included? | 306 | Keynote #9 on sheet MW611 calls for connecting the underground DW pipe to the abovegound SW pipe at 6" above the Utility Enclosure's floor. There is a 12" high containment basin to contain fuel spillage in this location, as well as a fuel leak detection sensor (keynote #13). No additional sump is required. |

Detail A1/EW502 indicates size, unless noted otherwise (UON). |
| 038 | Regarding Specification Section 02 82 00 – Hazardous Metals Remediation, there is no description in either the specification or the plan set outlining the work to be performed. In addition, no “Good Faith Survey” was included in the project documents that would offer insight into the aforementioned remediation work. Please provide a survey, and/or documentation describing this work. | 327 | Specification Section, 02 83 00, Hazardous Metals Remediation, removed in its entirety. |
| 156 | Specification 03 45 33, paragraph 3.2 discusses that prestressed members shall be 28 days of age before being rigidly fixed in position. This requirement adds unnecessary burden on the project schedule. It is requested that precast components may be set upon reaching the required 28 day strength, which is the industry standard. | 332 | Precast elements may be set in place upon reaching specified strength. The 28 day aging requirement is only for rigidly fixing the element in place (casting closure pours) and is required to avoid cracking due to concrete creep. |
| 157 | Sheet SW521, detail A1 specifies haunched deck details, with a fixed length for the full depth haunch at 9”. This will result in significant cost increases associated with forming for Haunched Decks with minor adjustments in total length. It is requested that the 9” fixed dimension is revised to accommodate variable lengths from 4” to 1’’-4”. This change will allow minor adjustments in length to be made in the full depth haunch, rather than the midspan which would require additional, custom formwork. | ||
| 333 | See revised drawing sheet SW521, see amendment #008. | ||
| 158 | According to Spec. Section 05 50 13 Page 5, there are five items that are required to be galvanized and painted per 09 90 00. Are any of these items required to be painted per 09 97 13.26? | 334 | No. These items shall be galvanized and painted in accordance with 09 90 00 section 3.11.1B. |

All fuel facility construction activities shall only occur between 1 September and 1 January. Please confirm the calendar restrictions only apply to the decommissioning at the Service Pier Tanks and not the Uplands Fueling area & KB Docks? Or please indicate more specifically the limits of "all " the fueling facility work to which the 1 Sept to 1 January restriction applies (e.g. does this time restriction apply to the earthwork, grading, new USTs at the new upland site?). | 336 | See specification 01 14 00 in amendment #006. Areas have been updated. Restrictions apply to All work as stated (earthwork, grading, new UST's, etc.) |
| 161 | Specification Section 02 83 00 Hazardous Metals Remediation, 1.3 states: “Construction activities impacting HMCP/HMCM which are covered by this specification include the demolition or removal of material containing RCRA 8 metals in good condition, located on electrical cabinets adjacent to building No. 7690 (B7690)…”. Additionally, the EHSI Limited Hazardous Materials Survey Report’s Table 3 indicates the presence of Hazardous Metals Containing Paint and Materials at the “Electrical Cabinet 7690 – Exterior”. However, B7690 appears to be a substation near the radar station, and there is no electrical work in the P-907 contract associated with B7690. Yet, EHSI’s Sheet SL-2 indicates sample HM01 was collected at B7136, near V-01, “Existing Comm Vault”. Although details regarding V-01 are not provided on the Electrical Schedule on EW627, vaults are typically buried concrete structures and receive conduit from buried duct bank. Additionally, there is no work shown on the electrical drawings related to an existing Metal Electrical Cabinet in the vicinity of Vaull V-01. Please clarify, is it the intention of this specification to require an extensive Hazardous Metals Compliance Program for stubbing conduits into an existing vault? If no, please further define scope. If yes, do the same HMCP/HMCM requirements apply to V-09, “Existing Comm Vault”, as shown on plan sheet EW101? | ||
