SUMMARY OF CHANGES

Answers to questions are in RED

1. Can the VA please provide an up to date set of drawing that reflect this particular renovation?

The VA does not have any drawings for the renovation.

2. What company is currently contracted for fire monitoring?

The Fire Alarm monitoring for Central Monitoring is included in the Fire Alarm Maintenance Contract. The contractor would not be able to communicate any activities with that company.

Authorized individuals with the VA are the only ones that can communicate with them on issues regarding our facility. If the contractor is needing to take us off-line at any time during project activities, they would have to schedule it with us in advance. The Fire Alarm System is manufactured by Notifier and the installer was Progressive Electronics.

3. Is the intent of this contract to replace the Motors and Traction Machine?

The traction motors are fed by the motor generators. The existing traction motors would be eliminated as they will not be needed if DC hoist motors are replaced.

4. Please confirm VA providing Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) contacts and ATS Programming for Power Transfer Indicator (PTI) signal to new Controllers.

The ATS feeding the elevators in Building 26 currently have the Fire Recall feature as well as Firefighter Service and it is tested semi-annually.

5. Please confirm whether or not the VA is providing the PTI conduit and wire to a terminal within this Contract's Limits of Construction?

The VA is not providing a conduit for the project. However, the contractor is free to reuse an existing conduit that may have been used for a previous ATS PTI for the existing elevators.
