Question 84: Drawing M-701 shows a detail for the blower coils unit.

Drawings M-101 ~ M-106 do not show any motorized dampers on the return air duct.

Are both of these motorized dampers to be installed on the blower coil unit?

Answer 84: Motorized dampers shown on M-701 are required.

Question 85: Drawing MP102 between columns 12 & 13 along the east wall there is a note that says “route piping up to first floor”

Where is this piping going?

When you look at drawing MP104 in the same area on the 1st floor, it shows the piping turning down and nothing is there.

It looks as though the piping from the ground floor ceiling rises up to connect to the piping in the second floor ceiling. However, the riser diagram M-801 does not show this.

Where does the piping at the end of the runs go in this area on the ground and first floor?

Answer 85: The note and “piping up” symbol on MP102 and the similar indication on MP104 has been corrected by amendment. See attached, (12A) Attachment Amendment 0003 Revised Drawings.

Question 86: Drawing M-705 shows a detail for an outside air unit. No outside air units appear on the drawings or equipment schedule.

Is the intent for the new chilled water piping to also enter the building below grade?

If so, is there a spec for underground piping and insulation? In addition, does the piping need to be installed that deep below grade?

Answer 87: The intent is to have the chilled water remain above grade and penetrate the mechanical room wall higher than existing.

Question 88: Reference drawing ES101. Remove and reinstall Generator Pad as required for installation of foundation drain.

Are we to remove conductors back to source?

Question 90: Drawing MP103 (first floor area A) shows fan coil units FCU-01- 09,10,11,12,13,39&44 to be piped from floor below.

Drawing MP101 (ground floor area A) no piping is shown to these areas on the first floor, the piping stops at FCU-01-14 and does not continue out to pick up these other FCU’s.

Also drawings M801 & M802 show FCU’s 09,10&11 being fed from the 1st floor by the use of furred out walls.

Drawing MP101 shows the pipes stop at office 034, the room next to office 034 is an electrical room which we cannot pass through with the piping.

1. How are the referenced fan coil units being fed?

2. Is there basement area in all of Area A? or is some of this space slab on grade?

Answer 90: There is no basement area for area A. The fan coil units listed in this question will be served by piping furred down the wall and has been addressed by amendment. See attached, (12A) Attachment Amendment 0003 Revised Drawings.

Question 91: Reference drawing E-602 refurbished panels. Need to know the exact size of each panels back box?

Answer 91: Exact size of each panel will have to be field verified by the contractor.

Question 92: Bid Item 0002 states " Repairs to existing EIFS as indentified during cleaning/washing/painting process." This item's unit price should be per square foot since the amount of repairs cannot be quantified until the existing is cleaned and thoroughly examined.

Then the square footage determined to need repairs would be multiplied by the bid square foot unit cost.

Answer 92: That is correct. Unit pricing for EIFS repair has been added to CLIN 0002.

Question 93: Bid Item 0003 states " Removal of existing abandoned telecommunication lines & unneeded SIPR conduits." and the last line of bid item 0001 also states " removal of existing SIPR conduits deemed no longer required."

Particularly, the roofing is listed in the report but I don't believe the roof is being replaced.

Answer 94: The roof is not being replaced. No unit pricing cost CLIN is required.

Question 95: How are we handling carpet reclamation where asbestos tile exists under the carpet? Can the carpet be removed separate from the asbestos tile safely? We are not a CARE approved carpet removal contractor and I would doubt any asbestos contractors meet this requirement.

Answer 95: Carpet will be removed and disposed. The separation will be determined during construction. Contractor is still responsible for asbestos removal that is required.

Asbestos abatement should be included in the pricing for CLIN 0001.

Question 96: There is a specification for mold remediation, but no documentation has been provided where mold exists in the renovation areas. Please provide this documentation.

Answer 96: The specification has been provided for an as-needed basis. Any mold remediation will be handled as an unforeseen site condition and handled accordingly.
