| Solicitation # W50S87-21-B-5005 | Questions & Answers #1 |
| Add/Alter Small Air Terminal | 01 July 2021 |
1. Question: The attached electrical drawing ES102 (Electrical Site Plan) is shown not to scale. This drawing will require a scale referenced to process the electrical installations
Answer: The correct scale is 1" = 10'-0". Please mark your drawings accordingly. A corrected drawing will be issued by Addendum.
2. Question: It appears there is no separate specification section for the dehumidifier unit (DHU) scheduled on drawing M-701A. The performance and controls sequence are clearly defined on this schedule, but required construction features related to the dehumidifier’s cabinet, internal components, and refrigeration system are not. We request to know what specification section applies to this unit. Additionally, we request to know if it is permissible to use R410A refrigerant for the DHU in lieu of the scheduled R404A so long as all other performance requirements are met.
Answer: That is correct. This section was inadvertently omitted and will be issued via Addendum. Refrigerant type is open, as long as unit performance is met.
3. Question: Section '233713.23 - Air Registers and Grilles' is listed in the table of contents, but the PDF includes '233713.13 - Air Diffusers' instead.
Answer: The Project Manual includes both Section 233713.13 Air Diffusers for adjustable blade diffusers and 233713.23 Air Registers and Grilles for fixed blade grilles. The table of contents erroneously omitted Section 233713.13 but a corrected version will be issued by Addendum.

230923.14 - Flow Instruments
230923.16 - Gas Instruments
230923.23 - Pressure Instruments
230923.27 - Temperature Instruments

6. Question: The following sections are included in the PDF documents but not listed in the Table of Contents:
