Request_for_Information__001.pdf

This is a Request for Clarification/Information form (IWL No. PBSP 001) submitted on December 9, 2016, regarding Project No. I-000904 for the replacement of skylights in Buildings D1-D4 (phase 1). The request was sent from IWL PBSP to Rick Traversi, Principal Architect, seeking specification clarification for CDCR's desired construction of replacement skylights. The submission includes specifications, shop drawings, pictures, and relates to SHU skylights.

The document details a discrepancy between previously installed skylights (specified as 08 62 00 'Plastic Dome') and the actual installed product, which was an extruded aluminum frame and layered glass. The response from Scott Thomas (dated 12/14/2015) indicates that the original design called for clear glass skylights to allow views of the sky, and while the current installation was correct, CDCR lacks a current specification for layered glass and aluminum frame. The response also notes that a 4" wide 12 ga cold galvanized steel plate with ½" return should be attached to existing curb, and laminated glass should be provided for fall protection.
