I do not see in the specifications if factory start up is required for the new water heaters. Is this required?

ANSWER: Install new water heaters in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations.

Will the building be occupied at any time during the construction? And if so to what extent is domestic hot water going to be required and where? Or is the intention for the GC to provide alternate facilities for rest rooms etc.?

ANSWER: Training will be occurring, the classrooms/restrooms will be required for use. Billeting will be unoccupied. Cold water service is required, hot water service is not required. See amended specification section 01 12 10 par 1.01 C.

If domestic hot water is to remain to an area, what is the intention to accomplish this? Or will cold water only and hand sanitizer would suffice?

ANSWER: See answer to question 7.

After repairs, is the building required to be disinfected with chlorine and if so to what extent. Reference section 22 11 26 – 14 3.07. If so is this just the hot water portion of the piping or the entire building?

ANSWER: See Par 3.06, it requires to test domestic water piping system in accordance with applicable codes, disinfect system accordingly.

Section 22 11 26 – 14 3.07 calls for a new water service is this required or are hidden items in the spec like this to be ignored and are to just pay attention to the specs where they apply to the drawings?

ANSWER: There is no reference to a new water service in par 3.07. A new water service is not required as per par 3.05.

If we are held to the entire specification how are we to bid not knowing the owners intentions and then be held to the more stringent concern of spec and plans?

ANSWER: This is too general of a statement to answer. Bid it to the specification and drawing requirements.

Are we to match the existing pipe insulation materials or simply follow the specs?
