| A: More information is required to answer question. Which drawings are being referenced? | |
| 2. | Q: Bridge Crane & Simulator Interlock Detail, can we ask the Simulator controls company if we can send a dry contact via remote I/O? We do this quite often and use two different styles but would prefer to do it this way. | |
1. Banner PM2 Kit as shown. Can be 900MHZ or 2.4 GHz – see attached for clarity.
2. One Gateway would be mounted on the crane and a Node on the Simulator Controls A: Coordinate interlock requirements with simulator and crane manufacturers.
3. Q: Are we allowed to send an electronic link to the plans to potential subs and suppliers or do they have to go to SAMS and be registered and get their own link?
A: Please do not post on any sites for everyone to see. They can be given to subcontractors for bidding purposes only.
| 4. | Q: In the specs it says that if awarded the job you would have to have background checks for anyone working on site as well as the “real id/passport”. Is this still going to be required for this project even though the project location is not inside the security fence? |

Contractor is responsible for monitoring when Real ID takes effect of Missouri by checking the Department of Homeland Security and Missouri Department of Revenue websites. |

The standard thin mil system would be 2 coats of 100% solids epoxy with one topcoat of aliphatic urethane with the oxide broadcast. The standard troweled system would be a nominal ¼” of epoxy mortar with the above system as the topcoats. Also, the finish schedule calls out for a resinous cove/ceramic cove base in rooms 110,111,112,113 all of the drawings show ceramic base to the floor. |

| 25. | Q: Is this a “LEED” certified project? Based on specification 18113 – Sustainable Design Requirement it appears to be, but nothing was mentioned in the prebid about it.
