39. Reference Command Center Drawings 14CC-A-201 & 202, 14CC-A-621. Conflict on the dimensions of Louvers between Building Elevations and Louver Schedule.

A back check on dimensions of Louvers shown on Building Elevations (drawings 14CC-A-

201 & 202) versus to the tabulated sizes on the Louver Schedule and Details (drawing 14CC-A-621) shows that there is a difference in the overall dimensions of the louvers. For example, L101 is 2’-5” W x 1’-8” H on Elevations but 2’-0” W x 1’-2” H on Louver Schedule and Details. This is typical for louvers L104, L105, L106, L107, L108, L110, L111, and L112.

Please confirm which drawing reference will be the basis of the louver dimensions.

ANSWER: Refer to louver schedule on 14CC-A-621 for correct Louver Face Area Size dimensions for louvers, and details below the schedule for a visual description of the louver sizes are shown in the schedule.

Command Center Building.

Pipe Support Schedule on Drawing 14CC-S-756 indicates Pipe Support Detail DF-20.

However, Pipe Support Details on Drawing 14CC-S-786 does not include Detail DF-20.

Please provide Detail DF-20.

ANSWER: DF-20 is on S-786, and it is denoted as DF-20T on S-786 to show the possibility of using a brace, but the support assembly would just not have a bracing strut when there is no "T" or "L" denoted in the schedule. See general sheet note L on S-786.

61. Note 3 on page 2 of 4 of SF1442 states: “Multiple awards will not be made.

Please clarify the Government’s intent regarding multiple awards.

ANSWER: Per SF1442, “Multiple awards will not be made.”

62. DOC 00 22 00/ATTACHMENT C SMALL BUSINESS PARTICIPATION

COMMITMENT DOCUMENT (SBPCD)/4. Small Business Participation/ Paragraph b.

requires a “firm commitment” in writing in the form of a teaming agreement, joint venture agreement, mentor-protégé agreement, written/singed letter of commitment from the small business.
