12. Drawing A6.1 detail 1/A6.1 elevations A and B call for curtainwall (correctly). However, there is no curtainwall specification provided. Is one available?

See attached new specification Section 08 44 14 – Glazed Aluminum Curtain Walls.

13. Views 6 and 7 on sheet 6.1 are labelled as interior storefront sections (applicable to storefront elevations E and F). The sections are shown with 1" insulated glazing, which is appropriate for exterior storefront. For interior storefront, center-set storefront with 1/4" glazing is more typical. Please clarify whether the interior storefront elevations (E and F) require 1" insulated glazing E and F should be center-set storefront with ¼” glazing.

14. The are no door hardware sets listed for the storefront doors except for paragraph 2.5 in the storefront specification. While these sets seem appropriate for exterior doors, this hardware does not seem appropriate for the interior doors (103, and 114 -118).

17. The spec’s reference a thermally-broken exterior storefront framing system for tinted insulated glass. There are several interior storefront frames that call for butt-glazed glass. Should we figure the same system for these openings or furnish an interior non-thermal center glazed 1-3/4” x 4-1/2” system for single glazing? Please advise. Provide non-thermal center glazed 1-3/4” x 4-1/2” system for single glazing for interior glazing.

18. The specified acoustical ceiling system is very costly. USG makes a product with a similar look called "USG Celebration Snap In Panels 2x8 Silver Satin Perforated With Acoustibond" with an estimated cost savings of 27% versus the specified system. I have attached the product data for reference. Please advise if this system can be utilized. Proposed substitution is acceptable.
