Please clarify.

ANSWER: Foundation Note R on S-002 provides hole size, depth, and number of holes.

103. This project requires a large volume of excess excavated soil (approximately over 30,000 CY). Will there be a site on base where we can spread the excess excavated materials?

ANSWER: No.

104. HVAC Equipment Schedule, Sheet M-631 - PTMX HVAC Schedule. For area MS-3 SUPPORT 107 and MS-4 OFFICE 105, it is requesting for a 9k horizontal concealed. By horizontal concealed we can only assume that they will be talking about a ducted split as in the plans it does seem to be printed as a ducted split. However, we are not aware of any US manufacturer that offers any ducted split in this size as the CFM is not strong enough to push through a duct system. Is the space a specific space that requires it to be a ducted split? Is the space designed specifically for a ducted split? Or will a wall mount be a viable system to replace the ducted split with?

ANSWER: The space is designed to be a ducted split system, and a wall mounted system is not acceptable. Please provide ducted split system as specified.

105. HVAC CONTROLS, Sheet M-1801. Specification calls for DOAU and all HVAC Equipment be connected to a DDC control system. Is the purpose of this for full control of the systems via DDC panel or simply just "on" and "off" capabilities?

ANSWER: The DDC control system must provide full control as required by the Sequence of Operations on Drawing MI802.

106. Also noted in this controls portion is an ATFP Emergency HVAC shutdown switch. Does this mean a shutdown switch to shut down all the units at one time? Or for individual switches to shutdown each one separately?

ANSWER: The ATFP Emergency HVAC shutdown switch must shut down all the units at one time.

107. Specification 03 31 30, paragraph 2.7.1, Reinforcement. Reinforcing Bars. With all of the high grade reinforcing types such as Grade ASTM A276, SS bars; ASTM A767 Class 1 Galvanized, ASTM A955 Stainless Steel bars; ASTM A1035 MMFX2 bars; and ASTM A934 Epoxy coated, the fact that ASTM A615 bars with the marked “A” seems out of place with the exception of the phrase “…bars marked A”. Please clarify the significance of that phrase, and what it does to the nominal grading A615 black resteel.

ANSWER: Response is deferred and will be answered in a subsequent Notice.
