QUESTION SHEET “C”

25 April 2022

Questions:

1. Controls: On page M-701 in the general notes it stipulates that the controls vendor has responsibility for power wiring and low-voltage wiring and conduits for the controls system.

Please confirm that the electrician shall not run conduit or any electrical wiring for items connected to or for the controls system.

a. RESPONSE: Bid as shown. This note places the responsibility with the controls contractor (with the full involvement of the general contractor) to provide all the information needed (location, power requirements) to the electrical contractor in order for them to provide power wiring for the controls system. Thus for the controls power connections work, the project electrical contractor would basically be a sub to the control contractor. All low voltage controls wiring and conduit would be provided by the controls contractor.

2. Millwork: The 2 Plam colors from Pionite are discontinued. Please identify an acceptable alternate PL-1/PL-2

a. RESPONSE: The bid pricing for both PL-1 and PL-2 shall be based on the Basis of Design product called out in the finish Schedule on A-607: Pionite, Abstracts, Suede. The specific color shall be selected after award, from the current active (in production) color options.

11. Overhead Doors: Door spec asks for 10 cycles per day rating. Need to know how many cycles the door’s torsion will be rated for overall: 20,000, 50,000, 75,000 or 100,000? Also, the warranty spec says “Torsion for 2 years”. Torsion springs are warranted for # of cycles, not the time period.

a. RESPONSE: Warranty Torsion Springs for 50,000 cycles.

12. Overhead Doors: Door 117 Spec calls for dual pad-lockable slide locks. Is that spec for 117B and

117C? Or for just one of them?

a. RESPONSE: The pad –lockable side lock is only required on one side of the door and is required for 117B. 117 C is a double swing door with a removable center mullion. One door leaf gets an exit d3evice and the other gets top and bottom flush bolts

13. Overhead Doors: Are doors #117B, 123-4, and 126-2 to be motorized or chain operated?

a. RESPONSE: Provide both Motor control with wall switches and chain operator for electrical outages.

14. Overhead Doors: Specs call for operators to auto-close by fire/smoke detection and have fail-safe-close upon power outage. This is possible with a fire-rated operator, but the door would also have to be fire-rated. No specs for a fire door. Please advise

a. RESPONSE: The doors with the smoke detection and fail safe operation do not require a fire rating, but models that have fire rating will be acceptable.

15. Is this project Tax Exempt?

a. RESPONSE: Contractor is responsible for all Federal, State, and Local Taxes in accordance with FAR 52.229-3.

16. Will doors and operators be subject to “Buy American?”

17. Warranty spec says “Torsion for 2 Years.” Torsion springs are warranted for # of cycles, not time period. See above question about how many cycles is desired.

a. See response to question #11
