1. In the submission of bids the solicitation states that we are supposed to submit a draft progress schedule. Is there a certain format it should be submitted in?

A. No

2. Certain specifications sections note that the work includes systems or equipment that is not outlined in the drawings. ie.

To include the system or do the drawings dictate the scope of work of the project as a whole?

A. The submittal will be scrubbed upon contract award. Only adhere to what applies to this scope of work.

3. There are 2 submittal registers in the specifications which is to be used? Will the register be scrubbed after award to reflect the project?

A. Yes, the submittal will be scrubbed and tailored for this project upon contract award.

4. Drawing G-102 #3 under General Air Barrier notes states that the contractor is suppose to verify that all wall and window assemblies are adequately sealed, and that assemblies exhibit air tightness and water tightness. How does the government wish us to verify? Is there a certain test that they are expecting?

A. Air Barrier testing for airtightness, specifically for the affected areas. These areas are to be isolated from the rest of the library prior to testing. Drawings will be amended to remove the requirement of testing for water tightness.

5. Drawing AD-101 note #2 says to “assume affected areas contain mold…” Is it the government’s intention for all bidders to consider the demolition areas affected and therefore to be covered under Mold remediation?

A. Yes.

6. Drawing G-102 #1 States “new exterior walls shall be constructed utilizing closed-cell spray foam insulation and flashing techniques to minimize air leakage. Spray foam shall be applied to all exterior walls and columns.” I the government’s intent to only foam the NEW exterior walls or ALL existing and new exterior walls? If the government’s intent is to apply to all exterior walls will a different foam be acceptable?

W91151-16-B-0010

A. Only the cavities new walls are required to receive closed-cell polyurethane spray foam insulation.

7. The government wishes to construct and new walls and window assemblies capable of meeting a 3-second equivalent design blast load in accordance with ASTM F 2248. Is the rest of the building blast rated? If not it would it not be in the best interest of the government to match existing for cost and time purposes?

A. The concern is valid and noted. However, the contractor is expected to execute the work as described in the bidding documents and drawings. This guidance is an installation-wide requirement.

8. Has to roof leak been repaired / source of water leak for warranty purposes?

A. Yes, roof has been repaired.

9. Will there be a staging area for materials at rear of building?

A. Yes.

A. Yes, this is acceptable.

11. Is insulation required above areas of new acoustical ceiling systems?

A. Insulation is required to be applied on new wall cavities, and be applied continuous from new wall up to lap existing portion of wall above and terminate at roof decking above.
