1. The Specifications call for the LVT to be welded where it meets the carpet. The question is, is this a generic statement meaning the seams be addressed with transition strips?

Answer: Yes it is a generic statement, the LVT is physically separated from the carpet by the transition strip.

2. If #1 is not generic where are the locations that the welding will take place (where is the broadloom carpet)?

Answer: #1 is generic, transition strips are the material that goes between carpet and LVT, carpeting area is the second floor ops floor space, the 2 office areas connected to the Ops floor. This carpeting is the material for covering the access flooring, so the installation needs to be done with carpet tiles, that match the access flooring dimensions and placement, so access flooring can accessed one tile at time if needed.
