BIDDER QUESTIONS

Solicitation No. W50S70-20-B0001 Construct Consolidated Maintenance Hangar and Shops

Savannah/Hilton Head IAP, Georgia Georgia Air National Guard

Questions and Responses

1. Section 00010 Solicitation Contract form indicates that there bid items 0001 through 0006 required to be filled out and submitted.

There is an additional document that was included with in the bidding documents. This document is called Bidding Schedule XDQU109057 Consolidated Hanger & Shops, Georgia Air National Guard, Savannah GA. This documents is requesting pricing breakdown on bid items 0001 through 0007.

My question is are both of the documents required to be submitted with the proposal. Because they do not match?

COR Response: Yes, the bidding schedule will be completed in full to help the Government determine price reasonableness, and, to determine what portions are associated with vertical construction of the facility itself and what parts are associated with exterior site work. Bid Schedule Item 0001(Base Bid Vertical Construction) and Bid Schedule Item 0002 (Base Bid Sitework) will be combined under Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) 0001 in the contract to reflect the consolidated base bid contract cost.

2. What is the manufacture basis of design for the Standing Seam Roof System?

COR Response: Fabral Metal Wall and Roof Systems or equivalent

3. What is the manufacture basis of design for the metal wall panels and the wall panel assemblies?

COR Response: Fabral Metal Wall and Roof Systems or equivalent

4. Is there a submittal exchange required for this project? If the answer is yes. What submittal exchange will be used?

COR Response: Consult Addendum Specification 01 33 00.01 “Web Collaboration” posted with the solicitation.

5. Will all of the project workers required to be badge, go through a screening process and drug tested?

COR Response: Not for the vast majority of the project. The allowance of a construction “freezone” sealing off all access to the rest of the installation and opening it up adjacent to the exterior for direct access eliminates the requirement for badging, screening, and drug testing by security forces for most of the project. Only during final project completion of the “secure area” at the end of the project (roughing in mechanical systems, completing finishes, completing surface mounted electrical and telecomm and testing/acceptance) will it be necessary to remove the freezone and require all contractors from thence forward to access the installation through a process of background checks, badging, screening, and vehicle inspections at the Davidson Drive Main installation entry control point. What is described below is the only portion of the “secure area” work that can be constructed within the freezone:

a) Fully constructing all CMU walls forming the perimeter of the secure area, including fully grouted fills/bond beams (Details C1/ S-330). Site Security Officer (SSO) will perform in progress inspection on masonry block cells prior to grouting operations;

b) Fully constructing the supporting roof trusses, attaching the metal deck, and making the concrete pour over the secure area roof including blocking in the openings through which future mechanical utilities will pass in the future (See Detail C3/S-330, and, Details C1,B2,B4,B5/S-410). SSO will perform in progress inspection of all the metal prior to concrete deck placement;

c) Construction of the full chain link fence from top of concrete deck to underside of the roof deck full height (Detail A4/A-423, and all of A-424);

d) Any metal stud furring to the structural walls intended to support FUTURE hanging of interior gypsum wallboard inside the secure area. Masonry walls will be left wide open for inspection;

e) Any CMU wall penetration sleeves to facilitate future passage of utility infrastructure but no actual utilities (see A-521);

That is where the work stops within the construction freezone. The remaining contractual “secure area” work shall be completed by badged and screened contractors passing a background investigation who enter the installation through our Davidson security gate after the freezone is appropriately dismantled and current installation perimeter is restored to the satisfaction of the 165th Security Forces Squadron.

6. Will all project workers be required to wear a project badge?

COR Response: Not to meet any government requirement.

7. What is the construction project management software that will be require?

COR Response: Consult Addendum Specification 01 33 00.01 “Web Collaboration” posted with the solicitation.

8. Are there any special FAA permits required for this project?

COR Response: Contractor will likely need to coordinate when bringing tall equipment (cranes etc) to erect the facility superstructure. Contractor will coordinate with government airfield manager who will inform Savannah Airport and handle posting of a NOTAM.

9. Is there a building permit required for this project? If the answer is yes. Who is responsible for the cost of the permit?

COR Response: No building permit is required.

10. Are there any Utility permits required for this project?

COR Response: No utility permits are required other than a “dig permit” described in project specifications and service outage/disruption notifications to the Contracting Officer per the terms of the contract. Coordination is required with Georgia Power (primary electric service) and Atlanta Gas Light (gas service). Contractor handles all coordination. The government performs no utility service coordinations.

11. Are there any EPA permits required for this project?

COR Response: Read the plans and specifications on coordinations with base environmental office, GA EPD notifications, filings, and requirements for asbestos management, NOI, and NOT filings where applicable. Definitely familiarize yourself with the “Erosion, Sedimentation, and Pollution Control” Plans.

Prime Contractor is the Primary Permittee/Operator. Contractor will coordinate. Contractor will file.

Contractor will pay all necessary fees.

12. Will there be a requirement for a Georgia General Construction Permit. If the answer is yes. Who is responsible for the cost?

COR Response: If you mean GAR 100001 Stand Alone NPDES General Permit to Discharge Storm Water Associated with Construction Activity, yes, contractor files NOI and contractor pays.

13. Is there a licensing requirement for the general contract with any government agencies?

COR Response: If you mean contractor having to acquire business licenses with local municipalities/Chatham County, no. This work is entirely on performed Federal Government property.

14. Discipline: Architectural Spec: 09 06 00 Schedules for Finishes and 09 06 90 Schedules for Painting and

Coating

Question: These two specification sections included in the solicitation documents contain information that directly conflicts with one another. As an example the interior wall finishes show different paint colors in each section and the interior window treatments provide a different color for the window blinds in each section. Please clarify which specification section should govern, in the case of a conflict.

BMcD Response: Specification 09 06 90 Schedule for Painting and Coating to be deleted from the project.

15. Discipline: Architectural Spec: 09 90 00 Paints and Coatings

Question: Subpart 1.3.1 of Section 09 90 00 Paints and Coatings states “All Contractors and Subcontractors that perform surface preparation or coating application shall be certified by the Society of Protective Coatings (SSPC) to the requirements of SSPC QP 1…” Per the SSPC website, QP 1 certification is primarily meant to attest to the ability to apply coatings in a marine environment such as bridges, off-shore drilling, ships, wastewater treatment facilities, and power generation facilities. Additionally, performing a search of qualified SSPC QP 1 certified contractors atCaution-www.sspc.org/search-certifications < Caution-http://www.sspc.org/search-certifications > reveals there are only two (2) contractors in the state of Georgia, both of which are located in excess of 250 miles from Savannah. This requirement will prohibit the local experienced painting contractors from being able to perform the work and will result in a substantial increase in the cost of this work, which will be reflected in the prime contractors’ bids submitted to the Government. SSPC QP1 certified painters do not perform painting work for buildings and other architectural surfaces. We request removal of the requirement for the use of only SSPC QP1 certified painters on this project.

COR Response: Specification Section 09 90 00 subpart 1.3.1 requirement for use of SSPC QP1 certified painters is DELETED AND REPLACED with the following Alternative Language to allow for local painters:

“Subpart 1.3.1 Contractor Qualifications

Submit the name, address, telephone number, FAX number, and e-mail address of the contractor that will be performing all surface preparation and coating application. Submit evidence that key personnel have successfully performed surface preparation and application of coatings on a minimum of three similar projects within the past three years. List information by individual and include the following:

a. Name of individual and proposed position for this work.

b. Information about each previous assignment including:

1. Position or responsibility

2. Employer (if other than the Contractor)

3. Name of facility owner

4. Mailing address, telephone number, and telex number (if non-US) of facility owner

5. Name of individual in facility owner's organization who can be contacted as a reference

6. Location, size and description of structure

7. Dates work was carried out

8. Description of work carried out on structure”

16. Discipline: Procurement Spec: Standard Form 1442, Solicitation, Offer, and Award

Question: Method of Bid Delivery and Bid Opening.

Considering the current COVID-19 outbreak, will the Government consider modifying the solicitation to allow for emailed copies of the Bidder’s Bid Package (signed SF1442, completed Bid Schedule, executed Bid Bond with power of attorney, and Representations and Certifications) to a specific email address by the due date and time; then followed up with the original documents sent via overnight courier within a certain time period? This would allow the Government to receive the most competitive pricing without the need for the Bidders to congregate at the bid opening location. Additionally a phone-in conference call may be utilized to accomplish the public bid opening requirements of an IFB. We have seen these methods successfully used on many other Government projects.

Contracting Response: Electronic submission will not be accepted. Hand carry or mail/courier with delivery by bid opening date/time will be required.

17. Discipline: Architectural Spec: Section 10 11 00 Visual Display Units

Question: Subpart 2.2 of Section 10 11 00 specifies that the marker boards are included in the FF&E package. None of the visual display units specified are shown on the drawings. General Note 5 on the electrical drawings (EP401, EP402, and EP601) states that the Government is acquiring the FF&E package under separate contract. Are there any visual display units required under this construction contract? If the Contractor is to provide visual display units, please provide types, sizes, and locations. If not, please delete this specification section.

BMcD Response: There are not visual display units in this construction contract. Section 10 11 00 will be deleted.

18. Discipline: Architectural Sheet: I-102 and I-103, and, Spec: Section 12 59 00 Systems Furniture

Question: Section 12 59 00 Systems Furniture has several references to the FF&E package and refers Bidders to the drawings for layouts and details. Plan Sheets I-102 and I-103 are “reference only” drawings and do not show enough detail to determine what systems furniture is required, if any. General Note 5 on the electrical drawings (EP401, EP402, and EP601) states that the Government is acquiring the FF&E package under separate contract. Are there any systems furniture required under this construction contract? If the Contractor is to provide systems furniture, please provide types, sizes and locations. Is the furniture specified in Section 12 59 00 of the specifications to be provided under this solicitation? If not, please delete this specification section.

BMcD Response: There is no systems furniture to be provided under this construction contract.

Specification section 12 59 00 is deleted from this solicitation.

19. Discipline: FF&E

Question: Reference to an “FF&E Package” is repeated throughout the plans and specifications; however, it is unclear what is included in the FF&E Package and who furnishes and installs the FF&E Package. Is there an FF&E package relative to this solicitation that Bidders are to provide? If so, please provide the necessary information.

BMcD Response: The FF&E package will be furnished and installed by Government at a later date.

20. Discipline: Architectural; Sheet: A-601 Door Schedule; Detail: Door Schedule, and, Spec: Section 08 34 73

Sound Control Door Assemblies

Question: Subpart 2.1.2.1 of Section 08 34 73 states to provide doors with an STC of 50. The Door Schedule on Sheet A-601 indicates that some Door Opening 127A is to have an STC of 45. Please clarify the correct STC rating for Door 127A.

COR Response: You may comply with Sheet A-601 Door schedule for 127-A showing STC-45. If you prefer to furnish and install an STC 50 door the government will not object.

21. Discipline: Life Safety / Fall Protection Sheet: S-001, S-120, A-010, and, Spec: Section 11 01 50 Rigid

Rail Fall Protection Systems

Question: Subpart 2.1a “System Design” of Section 11 01 50 of the specifications states that the “System shall be designed for: Four users at fuselage and primary wings, two users at each horizontal stabilizer.” However, General Note 4.F on Sheet S-001 states, “Fall Protection Loads: 2 Users on the Fuselage and 3 Users on Each Primary Wing.”

Please confirm our interpretation that the specification requirement for four total users over the fuselage and primary wings takes precedence over the requirement for eight total users over the fuselage and primary wings indicated on Sheet S-001 of the drawings.

Additionally, the horizontal stabilizers for the aircraft are located outside of the footprint of the new hangar building as indicated on Sheet A-010, which is not located below the rigid rail fall protection system that is required to be provided inside of the new hangar building as indicated on Sheet S-120 of the drawings. It is not possible to design the rigid rail fall protection system for two users at each horizontal stabilizer, as required by the specifications, due to the fact that the new rigid rail fall protection is not located where the horizontal stabilizers are located. Please confirm our interpretation that the new rigid rail fall protection system will NOT be required to be designed for two users at each horizontal stabilizer.

BMcD Response: Design fall protection for fuselage and primary wings only. Fall protection not required for the horizontal stabilizers. Provide fall protection for two users on the fuselage and three users on each wing for a total of 8 users.

22. Discipline: Life Safety / Fall Protection Spec: Section 07 61 14.00 20 “Fall Arrest System”

Question: Subparts 1.6.7 and 3.3.6 of Section 07 61 14.00 20 of the specifications contain detailed requirements for the new fall arrest system that is required to be provided on top of the new standing seam metal roofing system. However, Section 07 72 01 Roof Accessories of the specifications appears to also contain certain requirements related to the new fall arrest system that is required to be provided on top of the new standing seam metal roofing system, some of which appear to be redundant and/or contradict the requirements contained within Section 07 61 14.00 20 of the specifications. Section 07 72 01 of the specifications also makes reference to the “State of Oklahoma” and “Roof Hatches,” which are not part of the project. It appears as though the entire Section 07 72 01 of the specifications may have been inadvertently included within the specifications. Please clarify.

BMcD Response: Upon review, Specification Section 07 72 01 will be removed from the project specifications. Specification Section 07 61 14.00 20 and subsections will prevail.

23. Discipline: Architectural Sheet: A-601 and A-701; Detail: Door Schedule and Room Finish Schedule, and, Spec: 09 06 00 Schedules for Finishes and 09 06 90 Schedules for Painting and Coating

Question: On the door schedule Sheet A-601 about half of the Type HM doors and all of the HM frames are shown to receive a “Type PE-1 Finish (paint-epoxy)” and the finish for the remainder of the Type HM doors the finish code is blank. General Room Finish Schedule Note 11 on Sheet A-701 states, “All door and door frames to be PA-3”. Subparts 2.3.5.1 and 2.3.5.2 of Section 09 06 00 Schedules for Finishes specify the doors and frames are to be painted “PA-3 Sherwin Williams SW7075 Web Gray” and Subparts

2.3.5.1 and 2.3.5.2 of Section 09 06 90 Schedules for Painting and Coating specify doors and frames are to be painted “Sherwin Williams SW7647 Peppercorn”. Additionally PE-1 is shown to be an Epoxy Satin and PA-3 is a Latex Satin. Please clarify exactly what type and color paint is to be provided for the HM Type doors and frames on this project.

BMcD Response: Referenced sections will be revised to indicate that in all cases of HM frames and HM doors, paint shall be PE-1 SW7075 Web Gray, epoxy.

24. Discipline: Architectural Sheet: A-701 and Spec: Section 10 26 00 Wall and Door Protection

Question: Finish Legend on Sheet A-701 shows basis of design for corner guard as Construction Specialties C08 stainless steel. Section 10 26 00 Subpart 2.2.1 states that the corner guards are impact resistant plastic with an aluminum retainer. Please clarify which type of corner guard is required.

BMcD Response: Finish Legend on Sheet A-701 shall prevail. Provide Construction Specialties C08.

Reference to impact resistant plastic will be removed.

25. Discipline: Architectural Spec: Section 07 42 63 Fabricated Wall Panel Assemblies

Question: Subpart 1.2 Definitions of Section 07 42 63 of the specifications makes reference to “3-Hour fire rated insulated panels” within the definition of the Fabricated Panel Assembly. However, a review of the drawings and specifications contained within the RFP reveals that there are no three hour fire rated assemblies; nor are the pre-finished insulated metal wall panels specified within Subparts 2.1.2 and 2.1.3 of Section 07 42 63 of the specifications three hour fire rated assemblies. Please confirm our interpretation that the reference to “3-Hour fire rated insulated panels” contained within the specifications in erroneous.

BMcD Response: Language of Subpart 1.2 of 07 42 63 referencing 3-hour performance does not apply to the RFP and will be removed.

26. Discipline: Temporary Signage Spec: Section 01 50 00 Temporary Construction Facilities and Controls

Question: There is minimal information on the requirements for the project identification sign and safety sign. Specification Section 01 50 00 Subpart 2.1.2 makes reference to Section 01 58 00 for Project Identification; however, that specification section is missing from the solicitation. Please provide the information for the project identification and safety signs.

BMcD Response: A project identification sign will not be required. Required OSHA safety signs will be required.

27. Discipline: Civil Sheet: CG101 thru CG104

Question: Can you please provide the CAD files for the grading and drainage plans?

COR Response: No, they will be furnished to the awarded prime contractor only.

28. Discipline: Civil Spec: 32 31 13.53 High-Security Chain Link Fences and Gates

Question: We are unable to locate any high-security fencing for the perimeter of the site. It appears that all chain link fencing is existing on the site. Can you please confirm there is no need for this specification section?

COR Response: High-Security Chain Link Fences are required on the project for construction of the “free-zone” separating the rest of the active military installation from the contractor worksite. Revised drawing revisions will be issued as addendum.

29. Discipline: Architectural Sheet: A-154 & A-424 Detail: D1, D4, B3 & B5/A-424

Question: Sheet A-154 Enlarged Reflected Ceiling Plan Area-C indicated that Rooms 127 Secure Storage, 121 Secure Corridor, and 120 Mantrap are to have gypsum board ceilings. Details D1, D4, B3 & B5 on Sheet A-424 Secure Area Sections and Details shows these same spaces with the following note, “Sound Batt Insulation Above Ceiling (Typical All Acoustical Ceiling Tile Ceilings).” Please clarify whether Rooms 120, 121, and 127 are to have gypsum board or acoustical tile ceilings.

BMcD Response: Clarification: RMS 120, 121, and 127 are to have gypsum wallboard ceilings as drawn on A2/A-154.

30. Discipline: Civil Spec: 33 32 13.13 Packaged Sewage Lift Stations, Wet Well Type

Question: The sanitary sewer for the building is a gravity fed line to an existing manhole. Please confirm that there is no need for 33 32 13.13 Packaged Sewage Lift Stations, Wet Well Type.

BMcD Response: A packaged sewage lift station is not required. This section will be deleted.

31. Discipline: Antenna Tower Sheet: CS505 Detail: A4 Antenna Tower, and, Spec: 27 10 00 Building

Telecommunication Cabling System

Question: In speaking with a representative of the manufacturer, the antenna tower part number indicated on the drawings does not meet the “Structure Classification: Class III” that is listed on Detail A4 on Sheet CS505. It is recommended by the manufacturer that the tower be engineered to be site specific, and to do so would require the following additional information: a) What are the actual site coordinates? b) What are the actual “relocated antenna” model numbers and quantities that are required to be mounted to this new tower? This information is needed to calculate the EPA (Effective Projected Area) that the structure must support. c) What are the quantities and sizes of the lines going to the antennas? d) The Tower part number indicated does not have a ladder option from bottom to top. A different model number or different size tower would be required in order to have a ladder option. e) Is a safety climbing device required?

Detail A4, CS505, should say Structure Classification “II”, not III. The current Rohn catalog pg 193 (page 195 of 328) is the design basis (or equivalent). Bid the work per plan (no custom tower). Base telecommunications will install antennae considering EPA limits of tower. Handle remaining site adaptation processes and details through shop drawing submittal process. Ladder does not have to go all the way up to the top of the tower. ANSI/TIA-222 Rev-G requires a climber safety device, so yes it is required.

32. On page A-153 in the Ceiling Legend, ceiling mounted overhead projectors are noted. I did not locate any OHP’s in the plans. Are the OHP’s a part of this contract?

BMcD Response: The projector is a standard legend item. There are no overhead projectors in this contract.

33. Per Sheet CG101-C, general notes #6. Will undercutting need to place under Hangar Bay & Airside Pavement or just under asphalt paving?

BMcD Response: Undercutting will need to occur under both asphalt and concrete pavements per CG101- C general note 6.

34. Will the gravel access road to the West of the hangar bay have the same requirements as shown on Sheet CE501-C detail D1?

BMcD Response: Basis of bid shall be 8” aggregate base course over 12” compacted subgrade

35. Please provide detail for stone depth thickness and type surrounding concrete pad of 60,000GL water tank.

BMcD Response: Basis of bid shall be 8” aggregate base course over 12” compacted subgrade.

36. Is the contractor responsible for installation of Natural gas from main to meter?

COR Response: Yes, contractor is responsible. Whether they self-perform the work with prior coordination/assistance by Atlanta Gas Light, or, whether the contractor subcontracts and pays Atlanta Gas Light to perform the installation work. Contractor means and methods. Contractor funded. Contractor coordinated.
