Project Number: 550-13-102 Solicitation Number: VA69D-17-B-1750 Description: Renovate 58-5 Endoscopy Suite

AMENDMENT A00005

The following RFI questions have been submitted regarding this solicitation, representing all questions submitted to the Contracting Officer prior to the deadline established in Solicitation No VA69D-17-B-1750. Bidders are instructed to submit their bids in response to the solicitation “as-is”, taking into consideration all Amendments issued to date. Any remaining issues will be addressed with the successful bidder. Questions and responses are provided for bidder’s information and use.

RFI QUESTIONS/ANSWERS:

1. Drawing 58.AI105 Finish Legend gives Manufacturer Product Information with exception of VCT-1. Can you provide information on Manufacturer – Style-Color for this item. If this cannot be determined can you provide an acceptable alternate for this work.

RESPONSE: The intent of VCT selection is to match the existing corridor finish flooring. Armstrong imperial texture VCT or similar is acceptable. Provide product submittals for approval per specifications.

2. Please confirm flooring layout as reflected on drawing 58.AI105 - Waiting Room 507A where it reflects a transition VT-2. It looks like that needs to be in the doorway between the carpet and the vinyl flooring. If that is correct, then does the 2’ border get moved over and the infill piece get larger? Please explain what flooring goes in that area between VT-2 and the Consultation Room 507.

RESPONSE: Yes, the assumption is correct.

Extend field area shown in room 507A (Sheet 58.AI105) as LVT-1 to a location 2’-0” from wall shown between Waiting Room 507A and (adjacent) Consultation Room 507. Additional Clarification: 2’-0” dimension shown is typical for the border tile indicated.

2’-0” is measured from primary wall surface, not chases or bump-outs into room. Provide vinyl transition at the door opening (to 507) where the material changes.

3. The wall tile spec (CWT-1) calls for the color “Uptown Taupe” which is Dal Tile’s 4x4, 6x6 and 3x6 sizes. I am unable to locate tile in the 8” x 10” size. The bullnose and base spec are OK, just the field tile is the issue. Please advise.

RESPONSE: For the wall field tile: 6” x 6” is acceptable.

4. Please confirm the required material for Window Type A found on Sheet 58.AE701 and/or supply a Specification.

RESPONSE: Window type ‘A’ (also referenced by Interior Elevation 27 on Drawing 58.AE501) is a stainless-steel double hung pass-thru window. Basis of Design (B.O.D.) for this window is listed in Response #5.

5. Please provide detail for Window Type A as shown on drawing 58 AE701

RESPONSE: Basis of Design for Pass-Thru Window type ‘A’ is TBJ Incorporated, Pass-Thru window model SPD-44-38-PTW. Installation to comply with attachment ‘TBJ model-spd-44-38-ptw.pdf’.

6. Drawing 58.HA101 states to “remove and dispose of approximately 45 linear feet of 2” to 6”diameter asbestos-containing pipe insulation identified through the course of interior renovation/demolition...” Will any amount above and beyond the stated amount be addressed as an add in a contract modification per Spec Section 02 82 13.13 -1?

RESPONSE: Quantities of asbestos to be included with BID AMOUNT are shown by SPECIFICATION SECTION 02 82 13.13, GLOVEBAG ASBESTOS ABATEMENT and, SECTION 02 82 13.19, ASBESTOS FLOOR TILE AND MASTIC ABATEMENT.

7. Drawing 58.HA101, it states that “Contractor must field verify all site conditions and estimated quantities prior to the submission of a bid if preliminary demolition allows the asbestos-containing TSI to be quantified.” Who is to perform the preliminary demolition prior to the submission of the bid? When are the results of the above stated demolition to be posted prior to the submission of the bid?

RESPONSE: Pre-Bid asbestos survey (‘Field Verification’) is NOT to be performed.

8. Is the Contractor to include an asbestos survey prior to beginning work? Will ACM found during this survey be addressed as a contract modification?
