oWe want to make sure all the hardware will be compatible with the doors.Govt. (Reference the door schedule and specifications or request specific door information or schedule an additional site visit to gather information - P. McKenna)
RFI #38Since the existing building will be unoccupied during construction, can I assume that the new sanitary and water services don’t need to be in place prior to removing the existing services?Government will need to answer whether or not they need to have the new water/sewer lines in place prior to removing existing lines. Not sure what they government is using the building for. (The building will be unoccupied so it will be the contractors responsibility to phase work in a logical sequence - P. McKenna)
RFI #39What overcut is required for the spread footings, walls, etc.?If the intent of this question is to establish boundaries for excavation, refer to specification section 312000 3.3 for general discussion.

RFI #40Will phasing be required for the asphalt and concrete pavement removal to allow for access to the building?Government will need to answer whether or not they need to phase paving operations to allow access to the building. Not sure what the government is using the building for. (The building will be unoccupied so it will be the contractors responsibility to phase work in a logical sequence - P. McKenna)
RFI #41Can the stone subbase under the existing concrete and asphalt pavements be left in place since most of the site requires filling?Geoetechnical should have the final say on whether this is acceptable or not. The Slab-on-Grade Recommendations section in the geotech report should adequately cover this requirement
RFI #42How do we best handled multiple dump/delivery trucks coming and going through the security gate and would we need to provide an escort?Govt (The delivery trucks will be inspected by security and the contractor will be required to provide an escort - P. McKenna)
RFI #43Can more details be provided about where and how the proposed 10” water line gets connected to the existing water line inside the limited access area? Do we reuse the existing connection or will a new tapping sleeve and valve be required on the line in the limited access area? If we reuse the existing connection, is there a valve that can be shut down that we would connect to? If a new connection is required, what size is the existing line in the limited access area? Is there any pavement that would have to be restored within the limited access area?The existing connection will not be re-used as the existing main is smaller (8") than the proposed main (10"). Therefore, a new tapping sleeve and valve will be required. The existing public main that is being tapped is 12". According to information available at the time of design, no additional pavement, outside of the building parking area, is located in the path of the proposed waterline.
