AMENDMENT 00005

01/02/2018

Amendment 00005 hereby incorporates the following change(s) into the solicitation package:

A.) VENDOR QUESTIONS, 12/20/2017:

1. Throughout the specs there is requirements for low pollutant-emitting materials. It says to comply with VOC limits specified in Section 01 81 13 Sustainable Construction Requirements.

I have looked through all of the specs and have not found this section. (An example of where this is called for would be Section 07 22 00, 2.2, B, 2.) Could you provide this section?

VA REPLY: See attached Spec Section 01 81 13

1. Section 07 22 00, 2.1, A, 1 calls for an overall average R-Value of R-33 minimum. Are you looking for an average R-33 or a minimum R-33?

VA REPLY: Average R-33 (Minimum) per specification 07 22 00, paragraph 2.1.A.1

1. Section 07 22 00, 3.5, B states that there is a concrete deck. I have not found any concrete decks on the roof plans or roof framing plans. Are there any concrete decks and if so could you provide a location?

VA REPLY: No concrete decks.

1. Section 07 22 00, 3.6, H calls for multiple methods of installation. Can you provide clarity on which method of insulation installation is to be used?

VA REPLY: Method 1 - Adhered insulation.

1. Section 07 53 23, 2.4, F calls for water based bonding adhesive. Because the window of time that water based adhesives can be used is limited, can we provide standard solvent based bonding adhesive? If solvent based is not approved because low pollutant-emitting material requirements are a concern, can we provide Low-VOC bonding adhesive?

VA REPLY: Provide water-based adhesive, as specified.

1. Section 07 53 23, 2.3, A, 2 states to see Section 09 06 00 Schedule of Finishes for the membrane color. This section is not provided in the specs. Can you provide this section or provide the color of membrane to be used?

VA REPLY: Membrane shall be WHITE.

1. Section 07 53 23, 2.5 gives details for fasteners to be used with concrete pavers. There is no detail on the roof plan showing concrete pavers. Can you confirm that there are no pavers on the roofing portion of this project?

VA REPLY: There are pavers shown on the roof plan (from roof hatch and around PV array.

1. Section 07 53 23, 2.6 calls for a 6mil separation sheet. Previously in Section 07 22 00, 2.5, A. a 40mil self-adhering vapor barrier is called for. Can you clarify which takes precedence?

VA REPLY: The separation sheet is required under ballast/roof paver. Separation sheet is not required under ballast due to fully adhered system. A separation sheet is required under the roof pavers.

1. Section 07 22 00, 2.5, B. Calls for a substrate board. Is the substrate board being included to achieve a certain Fire Rating or is it included to provide an acceptable base to adhere the vapor barrier? If it is to provide a base for the vapor barrier, Carlisle and Versico have a self-adhering vapor barrier that is approved to adhere directly to the metal deck. Can we take this substrate board out of the roofing assembly?

VA REPLY: The substrate board is to be mechanically attached & provide flat surface for fully adhered roof system. Vapor barrier should be adhered to the top of the substrate board.

If there are any open, un-answered questions a contractor has submitted, please send a follow-up e-mail to Kristi.Kluck3@va.gov.
