Atached is a copy of the referenced report dated 7/26/2018.

Ques�on 2:

Are there any exis�ng security that is required to be bypassed and/or reinstated.

No. There isn’t a security/alarm system associated within the work area; however, there should be a phased construc�on to provide separa�on between proposed construc�on within 1002A and exis�ng Headquarters Offices.

Ques�ons 3:

To verify our Demoli�on scope does not interfere with ongoing opera�ons are there as build drawings to verify u�lity lines. Addi�onally verify exis�ng condi�ons of the building. Verify if building will be occupied during construc�on.

The exis�ng facility was constructed in five phases, including 3 separate buildings and two in-fill structures, then a roof over all buildings tying them together. Each building por�on was constructed with its own separate u�li�es. The Government has provided Jacobs with several incomplete As-Built drawings for different phases of construc�on which may be shared.

The Headquarters Building 1002A and Dining Hall 1002C are occupied and will remain opera�onal during renova�on of 1002B.

Ques�ons 4:

We request the FFE package for the furnishings of the space. Will this be a part of the construc�on contract?

The FFE is included in the contract. Some of the furnishings and equipment were removed from the previously occupied facility by Govt. and will be (Provided by Govt. and Installed by Contr.) other select equipment will be (provided by Govt. and Installed by Govt.). Other Furnishings and equipment will be (provided by Contr. And installed by Contr.).

Ques�on 5:

Clarify any roofing in the scope of work.

The standing seam metal roofing is exis�ng. There will be limited re-work of the standing seam metal roofing as required to patch removed and or relocated mechanical and plumbing penetra�ons.

The metal canopy out front and drive thru canopy out back are exis�ng to remain. There is no scope for renova�ng any of the canopies; however, there is scope to repair select areas of damaged and/or deteriorated EIFS fascia associated with the canopy out front.

Ques�ons 6:

For the Exis�ng transformer and transformer can we leave the exis�ng conduit in place.

We recommend you provide new conduit. The loca�on of the new Electrical room is different than the exis�ng electrical room loca�on. We don’t know the condi�on of the exis�ng conduit either.

Ques�on 58:

Is the attic space constructed of combustible materials? If so, the attic space will also need to be sprinklered.

AE did not have access to a�c space between exis�ng original flat room and new metal roof over truss framing.

Question 59:

Is the attic considered a conditioned space not susceptible to freezing (to remain above 40 degrees min per code)? The drawings show piping in the attic space supplied from a wet system. I would assume this is fine with-it being Florida but would like to confirm.

a. AE did not have access to a�c space between exis�ng original flat room and new metal roof over truss framing.

b. If there isn’t any insula�on below the metal roofing, and if the truss framing is wood, the a�c must be sprinklered along with the occupied space, and the a�c piping must be a glycol or dry system to protect against freezing.

Questions 60:

Ref. Air MD Site Evalua�on Report: Will we be required wrap all drywall and porous items prior to removing from the building?

Ques�ons 61:

Are the cable quan��es as shown in the worksta�on detail on T-501 correct?

Yes, the outlet jacks shown on the outlet details are correct.

Questions 62:

The rack layout on T-201 only shows 6 patch panels for data. By my count you will need (10) Cat.6 and (1) Cat.6a patch panels. I don’t believe there is adequate space in the 2 racks to accommodate that number of panels using the layout as shown.

a. This isn’t a ques�on, so I must assume the ques�on and respond. I reviewed the drawing and agree that approx. 10 PP are necessary and the rack layout would have the be revised. I am assuming that the space is the 3rd rack is available for addi�onal PPs and that the contractor would submit shop drawings that show that.

b. Jacobs Assump�on: Provide the quan�ty of patch panels are required by the quan�ty of data cables. Submital shop drawings are required to show revised layouts in the rack to support any addi�onal patch panels that might be necessary.

Questions 63:

Are the Patch Panels Modular/ unpopulated or populated 110 type?

a. Either are acceptable.

Yes, separate cables are acceptable, unless the fill ra�o in the OSP conduit is exceeded.

Questions 65:

Will every Voice & Data wall worksta�on be piped to the cable tray?

Yes, conduit is run from the wall outlet to the cable tray. Reference detail D1/T-504.

Questions 66:

The bid package list Advantor as a Sole Source contractor. However the security drawings have not been included with this project. Will the security for this project be completed directly through the government?

a. There are no security drawings included in the drawing package and security devices are not shown on the Telecom sheets. Jacobs Assump�on: Security is not included in this project.

b. If later it becomes required, Advantor is the Sole Source

There is also document included for a sole source jus�fica�ons Atachment “Atach-7- JA_LSGA112024-A-Best Locks_COR-KO that appears to state that only Best Locks and Core are able to be used at this Facility. Is it correct to assume the manufacturers within the specifica�ons as long as they can accept Best Lock Cores?

a. Provide Heavy duty door hardware by either pre-approved manufacturer with products that can accept ‘Best Locks’.
