A6. No, contractor shall install new 6" cove base.

Q7. The existing Cove base is 4". When the existing carpet is removed and the 1/*" Vinyl tile is installed the new base will set lower than the original. The outcome of that will be a horizontal line that was previously covered by the original base. If it is not painted or painted and not matched to existing paint the walls will look terrible. Would the Government desire the Contractor to Install 4 1/ " Base if available?

A7. Yes, no more than 4 1/2"-5" the existing carpet seems not to have padding so it should only be a small difference. Also, bldg. 520 wall lockers and cabinets have 8" cove base that will required to install.
