DPW RESPONSE: See revised plans. New plans indicate interior metal stud wall “overlay” along exterior CMU walls at the perimeter. Interior CMU partition walls are demolished in the new plan.

37. There is no mention on the drawings or window schedule for window shades, however, spec section 12 24 13, paragraph 3.1 states, “Install on all exterior windows”. The specifications are blanket specs. If the information is not on the drawings how are we supposed to know that they are required?

DPW RESPONSE: Disregard. See revised plans.

42. Drawing E-101 Keyed note #9 calls out for CU-2 to have a 1-Pole 60A MEMA 3R disconnect and on sheet E- 601’s Motor Schedule it states to provide (1) 3 pole 25A NEMA 3R disconnect. From which page should we size CU-2 unit?

DPW RESPONSE: Disregard. See revised plans.

43. Drawing E-101 Keyed note # 2 states to provide #6 conductors to AHU-1. The amperage size for # 6 conductors are well above the size it calls out for on drawing page E-601. E-601 states to provide 3-Pole 15A circuit. Can this be clarified, please?

DPW RESPONSE: Disregard. See revised plans.

Why #10 wire when #12 is sufficient based on length and load?

DPW RESPONSE: See revised plans. EMT is acceptable.

48. E-501 Note 18 says to provide a #2 copper ground to a ¾” backboard bus, is that the backboard mounted in the Comms room or is there another board somewhere?

49. E-601 MDP Panel schedule says 15A 3 pole breaker for AHU-1 but in the Motor Schedule it says 50A?

50. Reference sheet PD-101, Note 1 – It calls out to demo all hot, cold and waste water piping along with the plumbing fixtures, but does not state where piping demo id to terminate. The details on sheets P-101 and P-601 show to connect to existing piping , contradicting sheet PD-101. Please clarify?

DPW RESPONSE: See revised plans. Sewer to point of demarcation 5’ out with double cleanout. Domestic to meter/backflow.

88. I also cannot find hardware sets 3, 12 and 13 for the aluminum doors shown on schedule.

DPW RESPONSE: See revised plans.

89. The glass spec is calling out for lami to be on the inboard and outboard lites of the IG unit. All blast job I have done in the past have had the lami at the inboard lite. My understanding is that the temp outboard lite absorbs the shock before hitting the inboard lite with the lami?

DPW RESPONSE: Reference UFC 4-010-01 dated 12 Dec 2018 Section 3-11.1 Glazing. See revised plans.

90. Are elevations W1, W2, W3 and W4 to be blast rated curtain wall or blast rated windows?

DPW RESPONSE: It depends. Assume at some point being required to remove and deliver the SIPR safe to some NEC warehouse with coordination thru the COR.

93. During the previous bidding stage in 2017 we requested information on the proposed fire sprinkler system. At the last minute we received by addendum an “As Built” drawing. This confused the issue even more. There was no way of knowing if what was shown was correct. There were no marks indicating what we were expected to do, where to enter the building the building for the fire riser, where the new underground pipe was to connect to existing lines, etc.

DPW RESPONSE: Fire suppression is not required. See revised plans.

94. Can you provide drawings showing locations of fire sprinkler heads and riser location?
