SECTION 00800 - SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

The following have been added by full text:

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q1. What grade/gage of chain link fencing shall be installed?

A1. See drawing CS503 Fence Site Details for fence standard specifications and details.

Q2. Specification 4.13.1 describes the new gate operator, however it does not specify if the gate shall be connected to a communication system to allow opening from a central location inside the building (as is the case for the main entrance gate), or if the gate shall be automatically controlled by the entrance, egress, and safety loops. Please clarify.

A2. Section 4.13.1 calls for new motorized chain drive slide gate opener and components. Yes the gate shall be connected to a communication system allowing for opening from central location inside building. Location for this control shall be verified with COR and AFOS.

A2. Section 4.13.2 says contractor shall install new entrance, egress, and safety loops to work with the new sliding gate and motorized gate opener. Normal gate operation shall be in fully functional working condition when project is complete, and the timing of entrance and exit of the gate shall be coordinated with the COR and AFOS.

Q3. Section 4.20 states that the contractor shall “make sure all windows are in full working order, and fix where necessary” and “fix any damaged parts of windows.” It appears from the provided drawings on Sheet 2 of FS 84-0012 that the windows were replaced circa 1984.

A4. Regardless of sheet FS 84-0012 showing windows were replaced circa 1984, the Section 4.20 of scope should still be followed. “Contractor shall do a full inspection of all existing windows in Training Building and Assembly Hall to make sure all windows are in full working order, and fix where necessary. Contractor shall also fix any damaged parts of window and completely re-seal interior and exterior of all existing windows in Training Building and Assembly Hall.”

Q4. Section 4.21 instructs to “prepare exterior of windows for paint to include, but not limited to scraping old paint, sanding, fixing damage, etc”. However, the existing windows are bronze aluminum, and are not normally prepared and painted as such. Please confirm if the existing aluminum frames are to be repainted.

A4. If all windows in the Training Building and Assembly Hall are bronze aluminum, then no, this section of scope does not need to be followed and shall be removed from contractor’s proposal. There is no need to paint the aluminum windows. However if any windows at the Training Building Assembly Hall are found not to be aluminum, then Section 4.21 should be followed.

Q5. Sections 4.22 and 4.23 describe the installation of solar window film and window shades on all windows in Training Building and Assembly Hall. Please provide quantity and sizing of windows.

A5. See drawing FS 84-0012 showing exterior elevation of building, window/door locations, and window sizes. ALL windows and exterior door windows in Training Building and Assembly Hall shall receive new solar type window film. All exterior windows in Training Building shall receive new solar shades/blinds.

See SOW 1.9 – The contractor shall verify all dimensions, site conditions, and any other items required to install a complete and ready to use product, prior to submitting a bid proposal for construction.

Based on SOW 1.9, it was assumed contractor will make site visit to gather necessary particular information that is outlined in project SOW.

a. Please confirm that there is no lead or asbestos in the windows and/or existing caulking and sealant.

A. Government survey from 2005 shows lead paint found on external metal door frames at the Training Building.

b. Please provide information on glazing (single pane, tinted?)

A. Based on SOW 1.9, it was assumed contractor will make site visit to gather necessary particular information that is outlined in project SOW.

c. In the case that windows cannot be repaired (due to outdated parts, or part incompatibility), shall windows be replaced?

d. If so, will a replacement allowance be provided? Or would window replacement be under separate change order pricing?

C and D Answer – In the case this is determined, the COR should be contacted immediately and this issue discussed before moving forward.

Q6. Section 4.24 states that “the contractor shall remove and replace existing exterior doors, frames and windows” and install new doors, hardware, etc. Please clarify that only exterior doors are being removed, as the rest of the specifications do not request the replacement of windows.

A6. Section 4.24 Remove and replace existing exterior doors, frames, and windows. These “windows” that this section is referring too are ones that are associated with the exterior doors only. (Windows located with-in the body of the exterior doors, and windows located around exterior doors)
