Consider the following:

• Existing Grade at B11 Bore Log location is 138.47m (454.2 ft.) per Bore Log B11.

• Existing Grade at B11 Bore Log location is @ 460ft. per Dwg C102.

• The difference in elevation between these two data points is +5.8ft. (Fill)

Please provide fill material type or available soil data for imported soils.

Removal of unsuitable materials (over-excavation) and replacement with select fill materials.

Both CLINS are for the removal of unsuitable materials and placement with select fill, please provide the delineation between CLIN 0001AE & CLIN 0001AF.

ANSWER: Items 0001AE and 0001AF are SLINs and not CLINs. SLIN 0001AE is in reference to the placement of satisfactory fill, while SLIN 0001AF is in reference to the placement of structural fill. See spec section 31 23 00.00 20 (Amendment 0018); Part 2, where satisfactory and structural fill are defined.

257. 08 71 00, 3.6 Hardware Sets

Please advise if a motor driven electric hardware is acceptable in lieu of a solenoid driven electric hardware due to its benefits like no surging electricity is required and quietness.

ANSWER: Provide solenoid hardware per spec.

258. Drawing A-602, A-603

The wood doors on this project are primed hardboard, to be painted. We have both STC45 and STC50 sound rated openings calling for wood doors. The STC50 doors will require cam-lift hinges and will need to be hollow metal in order to meet this STC level. We can apply a wood veneer onto these hollow metal doors, however this seems unnecessary, since this veneer will simply be painted. We propose to just provide as hollow metal doors and eliminate the applied wood veneer. This will eliminate any possible issues with delamination and damaged corners. Is this acceptable?

ANSWER: Doors 1-117, 1-121, 1-183, 1-216, 2-113, 2-115 and 2-153 are noted as Acoustic (AC) type doors with STC 45 and 50 ratings. These doors need to comply with spec section 08 34 73.

Doors 1-104, 1-125, 1-182, 1-184, 1-212, 1-219, 2-125, 2-134, 2-154A and 2-156A are noted as solid core (SC) type doors with an STC 45 rating. These doors need to comply with spec section 08 14 00.

All doors (AC and SC) are scheduled to be painted.

259. Specification Section 08 71 00; Drawing A-602, A-603

The STC45 doors can be a conventional wood door with level swing butt hinges and auto door bottom or can include cam-lift hinges. The following doors are STC45 and are included at hardware sets with level swing butt hinges and acoustic seals which can only include an auto door bottom:

1-125 set 18 1-182 set 20 1-184 set 18 1-212 set 18 1-219 set 20

Our experience shows that this type of opening will most probably not pass a sound test, due to the auto door bottom. Should we include cam-lift hinges for all sound doors, regardless of the hardware set, so that all openings would pass a sound test? If this project is NOT requiring 3rd party sound testing, then the most cost-effective solution is to leave these doors as specified, with butt hinges and standard sound seals. Please advise if 3rd party sound testing will be performed at this project for the sound doors..

ANSWER: Sound testing is not a requirement for the doors noted.
