For the maximum 7 days of DHW shutdown at the YDC, will night / weekend work be allowed?

⚫ Yes

Will each pod need to be checked out and the smoke control certified before moving to the next one?

Does Alt P-1 require any new roof penetrations?

⚫ No, existing flue roof penetrations will be reused. Refer to Sheet P-101(detail number 5 and keyed note

2) and sheet P-500 (detail 3) for details.

Can you provide an RCP plan to establish ceiling types?

⚫ Yes, see attached RCP pages from the 2003 Record Drawings of the original construction.

What is the construction cost budget for the project?

⚫ $785,000

Can a mechanical or electrical contractor bid this as a Prime?
