SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been modified:

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

W50S7L-21-B-0001 Questions and Answers Q1. Can you confirm the static suction pressure these pumps will see?

A1. 52-55psi for static water pressure Q2. Can you confirm site voltage?

A2. 480 3-phase with transformers for power Q3. What are the on-site staffing requirements for this project (super, QC, safety, etc.). If multiple staff roles are required, can any be dual hat?

A3. Please see Specifications Section 01 00 00 for on site staffing requirements. Weekly project progress meetings will be held with the GC.

Q4. Keynote #17 on 3/A1.2 calls for new fire protection piping to be run through the wall on the right side of the south elevation. At the site visit we noted that this location houses a gas meter as well as other items. Is it expected that the gas meter and other items will need to be relocated? Is the contractor responsible for this work?

A4. Keynote #17 on A1.20 does not refer to this piping. Keynote #17 on A1.25 may be what is referred to. Fire protection drawings show this penetration as a Flushing Connection, it is not a pipe that comes up from the ground and penetrates the wall. It is a flange, and would be installed through the wall higher than the meter shown in photographs, with no conflict. It could potentially be moved to the west, to avoid the existing gas meter and other items. Coordinate requirements for this connection with equipment supplier to confirm.

Q5. On the north end of the building there is an existing bike rack. Is this bike rack to be relocated, salvaged to the owner, or demoed?

A5. The existing bike rack is to be relocated by the Owner when Contractor’s requests it to be relocated.

Q6. On the north end of the building there appears to be a fire PIV or other item protruding above grade. This item is not shown to be removed or relocated on the drawings, but appears to be in the way of the new staircase. Please advise.

A6. Please confirm that the item noted is not one of the two Monitor Heads noted as Keynote #15 on 1/A2.00. Existing B80 PIV/Keynote 15 is 4’ – 8” from wall of B321 and will clear the stairs.

Q7. Keynote #8/A3.00 calls for patching and repair of the existing masonry veneer (toothed in).

I only see note #8 at one location on the south elevation. Is this the only location that will require toothed in masonry veneer repair?

A7. This keynote applies at all new penetrations to the veneer that are large enough to require patching beyond mortar.

Q8. Is there a spec for the existing masonry veneer and grout so we are able to match it?

A8. No, Contractor will need to match the existing as closely as possible with new veneer and grout.

Q9. General Note #5 & Keynote #10,11 on F050 shows two PIV’s to be removed as a Bid Alternate. The bid form does not show any alternates. Please advise.

A9. The PIV Work defined as Bid Alternates is in included in the Project work. Please delete the words “Bid Alternate” in the drawings and specifications.

Q10. Keynote 4 on A2.00 states to paint the top surface of the existing metal decking before installation of new roof system. Is this to be a primer only?

A10. Per UFC, the following are the approved paints for painting the top surface of the roof deck:

•(IL) Rust-Oleum High Performance Epoxy 9100 System Coating, manufactured by Rust-Oleum, 11 Hawthorn Parkway, Vernon Hills, IL; (708) 367-7700.

•Rust-Inhibitive Steel Deck Coating: DTM Acrylic Primer/Finish manufactured by Sherwin Williams, 161 Greenwood Drive, Bridgeville, PA; (412) 247-2228.

•Amerlock 400 High Solids Epoxy Coating, mixed with equal amount Amerlock resin;

manufactured by Ameron Protective Coatings, 201 N. Berry Street, Brea, CA 92622; (714) 529- 1951.

•ZRC Cold Galvanizing Compound; manufactured by ZRC Products Company; 21 N. Newport Avenue, Quincy, MA; (617) 328-6700.

Q11. To the best of our knowledge, no one manufactures a 2,000 gpm at 90 psi electric fire pump that only requires a 125 HP electric motor. On November 15th, 2019 UL changed their listing requirements and the required motor size increased from 125 to 150 HP. This was a listing change that impacted every fire pump manufacturer. Please confirm that a 150 HP electric motor will be acceptable.

Also note that specification section 21 13 30, 2.3, A, 1 states “… Motor wattage horsepower shall be of sufficient size so that the nameplate wattage horsepower rating will not be exceeded throughout the entire published pump characteristic curve.” As such the standard 1.15 service factor cannot be utilized on a 125 HP motor.

A11. Due to the code change a 150hp is acceptable. In order to make a 150HP motor work electrically see Addendum #1 revised drawing page E3.00 and E4.00 for additional work to add a splice box, wye delta pump starter, and other items. Delete 125HP motor and change to 150 HP motors throughout the project specs and drawings.
