1 CLARIFICATIONS

1.1 Schedule - We will conduct a pull plan meeting with all trades following contract award to work through manpower availability, sequencing, and schedule detail. If individual floor completion dates or other milestone dates need to shift due to crew availability, it is the intent that we would work to accommodate this through the pull plan process. The duration, sequence, and dates provided in the preliminary schedule for tasks between Mobilization and Owner Occupancy are for example and will be adjusted as needed through the pull plan process. It is the intent that the milestone date for Owner Occupancy on May 22nd, 2025, be maintained.

2 REVISIONS

2.1 DELETE, the note on Sheet S100A, that reads as follows: “COORDINATE REBAR PLACEMENT AND

LAYOUT WITH PROMELT ELECTRIC SNOW-MELT SYSTEM EMBEDDED INTO CONCRETE SLAB –

REFER TO MECHANICAL.”

3 QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

3.1 Telecom Equipment: It appears all telecom equipment is Owner provided. Aside from providing two racks, all switches, servers, wireless access points, and etc is OFOI or existing. Just want to confirm that is the intent.

3.1.1 Yes. The contractor will provide the racks, raceway, mounting infrastructure, and peripheral devices (card readers, cameras, door contacts, etc.). The owner will be providing all switches, UPS’s, servers. Wireless Access points were not discussed.

3.2 Access Controls and Security Cameras: It looks like we are tying into existing systems and head-end software for both of these systems. I haven't run across what the existing systems are but this information would be helpful for potential bidders.

3.2.1 There is no existing camera or access control system at Voldeng. The owner utilizes a Genetec Server, and Genetec Archiver for door controls, and camera recording at other buildings. They would like to utilize these same head end pieces of equipment, and software systems, but these systems work with other manufacturers.

3.3 Can all the light types be Cooper equals to the Acuity fixture types?

3.3.1 Yes, the contractor can bid Cooper as an equal to the Acuity fixture types. However, all fixture types will need to be reviewed and approved during shop drawings to verify all requirements of the Acuity fixture are met with the submitted Cooper fixtures.

3.4 We are currently having a hard time finding 32” razor ribbon and were wondering if 30” or 36” could be used instead?

3.4.1 30” razor ribbon is acceptable to use in lieu of the 32” that was called out. If you cannot find the 30” either, then 36” will also be acceptable.

3.5 Does the security fence need to have top, bottom, and middle rails?

3.5.1 Yes, unless the fence manufacturer recommends something different.

3.6 Are aluminum fence ties ok to use on the line post and rails?
