Question-Comment and Response W911YN18B0002 - Bidding Questions/Response
| Comment Number | Date | Discipline | Spec/ Report | Sheet | Question/Comment | Response | Response By | On Date |
| 1 | 7/30/18 | Roof framing | 05 16 50 | Retrofit Framings Section 05 16 50 – 1.03 – A – 2. “Approval shall have been granted to any manufacturing facility producing the retrofit roof framing system components by the MBMA and IAS (International Accreditation Services), for quality assurance in manufacturing operations. A letter from the manufacturer certifying compliance will accompany the product approval submittals.” We ask to waive this approval in lieu of our Factory Mutual accreditation, which is similar in requirements. Or as an alternate accreditation. We recently did a retrofit project for at Avon Park Air Force Range, FL with similar requirements. | ||||
| Atkins will not recommend waiving these industry accepted standards/accreditation. These associations set a minimum standard in an objective manner which is generally accepted in the Metal building manufacturing industry. | Atkins | 8/16/18 | ||||||
| 2 | 8/9/18 | T-102; E-001 | BUILDING 1885, Re: Drawings T-102 and Legend on E-001 and Spec Div 27. Is there any equipment to be provided or is the work strictly the wiring, conduits and boxes? If so, please clarify/specify the equipment to be provided. | Contractor shall comply with the requirements indicated on the drawings and in specification section 271000 Building TelecommunicationCabling System.Work includes, cabling, conduits, supports, back boxes, data outlets and testing. No other telecommunication equipment is included. | Atkins | 8/16/18 | ||
| 3 | 8/24/18 | Fire Alarm | Are we required to meet the requirements of the UFC regarding mass notification systems? The plans and specification do not make any reference to mass notification. | The project inculudes a new Fire Alarm System as indicated on the drawings and specifications section 283163.00. There is no Mass Notification System. | Atkins | 8/31/18 | ||
| 4 | 8/24/18 | Fire Alarm | Are we to include the required dual-lens strobes? (Clear for fire and amber for MNS). | Please see response above. | Atkins | 8/31/18 | ||
| 5 | 8/24/18 | Fire Alarm | Are we to include the required local operator’s console or LOC? | Please see response above. | Atkins | 8/31/18 | ||
| 6 | 8/24/18 | Fire Alarm | Are we to include the required Monaco radio transmitter capable of mass notification? | Please see response above. | Atkins | 8/31/18 | ||
| 7 | 8/28/18 | Civil | C-103 | The drawings show a transition from 8” pvc to 8” HDPE, then back. That typically implies a directional drill for that area of pipe. This work may require a site contractor to obtain a separate sub to mobilize. It is a relatively short run and could be very expensive. Please confirm if that area must be directional drilled or if it can be open-cut like the remainder of the water line? | That section is to be directional drill. See callout 33.07. This area is shown to be directionally drilled to limit the impacts of Southshore Avenue. If that area is to be open cut, the roadway will have to be closed until the roadway is stabilized for traffic. | Atkins | 8/31/18 | |
| 8 | 8/28/18 | Civil | C-502; C-106 | Limits of work for Milling and Resurfacing of Asphalt -- Reference Drawing Sheet C-502, Typical Paving Detail and Drawing Sheet C-106, SITE PLAN. We recognize the Milling and Resurfacing needed at open cuts per Sheet C-502, but please clarify that the Parking Lot on Sheet C-106 only gets new striping (no Milling and resurfacing)? | Milling and resurfacing are NOT included in the scope. | Atkins | 8/31/18 | |
| 9 | 8/28/18 | 33 11 00 | The specs for the Fire Hydrants call for “Wet Barrel”. According to one of our suppliers, the only place they know on the east coast of the USA that has Wet Barrel Hydrants is at Disney World. All other hydrants are “Dry Barrel”, including all the existing Hydrants at MacDill. Wet Barrel Hydrants are commonly used out west where frost is not an issue. Please confirm that Hydrant status since a Wet Barrel Hydrant is much more expensive than a Dry Barrel. | It is acceptable to provide dry barrel fire hydrants. | Atkins | 8/31/18 | ||
| 10 | 8/29/18 | 01 00 00 | Reference is made to Section 01 00 00 General Requirements, Paragraph 36, Key Personnel Descriptions states “An individual Key Team Member may not hold more than one key role. The following are minimum qualifications for the key personnel” The Key Personnel include Project Manager, Site Superintendent, Quality Control Manager, and Safety Manager. Reference is also made to Section 01 45 00.00 10 Quality Control, 3.4 Quality Control Organization, 3.4.1 Personnel Requirements states “The Safety and Health Manager will also serve as a member of the CQC Stall Personnel”. It also states “The Contractor’s CQC staff must maintain a presence at the site at all times during progress of the work”. It is our interpretation the project staff shall include full time Superintendent, QC Manager, and Safety Manager and they shall be On-Site at all time during construction. The staff also shall include a Project Manager but he does not have to be On-Site at all times during construction. Please confirm this is correct? | Required on-site staff includes Superintendent and SSOH. QC Manager and Project Manager are not required to be on-site at all times. | FLNG | 8/29/18 | ||
| 11 | 8/29/18 | 02 82 14 | Both projects (Buildings 1885 and 1886) call for a preconstruction building survey for asbestos-containing materials. This is confirmed in Section 01 11 00 Summary of Work and 02 82 14.00 10 Asbestos Hazard Control Activities. In Section 02 82 14.00 10 Asbestos Hazard Control Activities, Part 1 General it states “Should the Contractor’s survey indicate presence of ACM, the abatement and remediation work will be performed as additional project scope under the provisions of the specification.” It is our interpretation is that the General Contractor shall include the cost of an asbestos survey in our bid and if after the survey asbestos remediation is required the work will be performed as a change order to the contract. Please confirm this is correct? | Correct | FLNG | 8/29/18 | ||
| 12 | 8/29/18 | 02 85 00.00 20; 02 41 00 | Both projects (Buildings 1885 and 1886) include Section 02 85 00.00 20 Mold Remediation. The specification makes reference to a mold survey being performed (see 02 41 00 page 3, "the contractor shall provide a Microbial Assessment Visual Field Report for each work area and material within the work area") and for actual mold remediation work as well (see 02 41 00 page 3, "If contaminents are identified, the remediation shall be performed as base scope in accordance with the provisions of Section 02 85 00.00 20 MOLD REMEDIATION"). This is confusing in what we are actually to include in our bid. It is impossible to properly price mold remediation work if the bidder does not know the extent of the mold. The extent of the mold is unknown until a survey is performed. It is our interpretation that for the bid we are only to include the cost of a mold survey and that any actual mold remediation work will be performed by a change order to the contract? Please confirm this is correct? | Your interpretation is correct. Mold Remediation, 02 85 00.00 20 SHALL NOT be included in bids. The contractor SHALL provide a Microbial Assessment Visual Field Report in accordance with 02 41 00. If contaminants are identified, the Government will then discuss a remediation plan/solution with the contractor including negotiations regarding the additional work effort and services associated with the approved remediation plan. | Atkins | 8/31/18 | ||
| 13 | 8/29/18 | G-001 | Just want to confirm the only area that may be occupied on-site during construction is the area designated on sheet G-001 Construction Access? | Yes, confirmed. Including haul route/construction access to the building site. | Atkins | 8/31/18 | ||
| 14 | 8/29/18 | A-514 | Reference is made to sheet A-514 Details, Detail 11/A-514 Monument Sign Elevation Detail states “Monument sign to have Brazil Nut colored stucco finish to match base design standards.” This is the only exterior color I found that is indicated. It has been our experience on other construction projects located at MacDill AFB that all of the exterior colors will match the base design standards. Please confirm this is correct? | Correct. | Atkins | 8/31/18 | ||
| 15 | 8/30/18 | Div 8 | A-101 | Bldg 1886--Note 8.09 indicates “NEW 3’4”h x 7’4”w PAINTED METAL FRAME OPENING ON EXISTING WALL PARTITION” between 014 REPAIR and 018 ALLIED WORKSHOP (no mark#). Is this to be a Hollow Metal Borrowed light? Cased Opening? If so, is it to be knock down or welded? | Cased opening, welded frame per specification 08 11 13 | Atkins | 8/31/18 | |
| 16 | 8/30/18 | Div 8 | A-602 | Bldg 1886-- This Door Schedule appears to be more accurate than Door/Hardware Index at the end of Spec section 08 71 00. Which should be used for estimating purposes? | Use Door Schedule. | Atkins | 8/31/18 | |

| 18 | 8/30/18 | Div 8 | A-603 | Bldg 1885--This Door Schedule appears to be more accurate than Door/Hardware Index at the end of Spec section 08 71 00. Which should be used for estimating purposes? | Use Door Schedule | Atkins | 8/31/18 | |
| 19 | 8/30/18 | Div 8 | A-103 | Bldg 1885--Doors 006, 032A, and 034 are drawn as new doors. Door 006 is noted as Existing in Door Schedule (A-601); 032A and 034 have no info in Door Schedule (other than size and 45 min label). Are these new doors? If so, to what hardware set do they belong? | See separate tab for response | Atkins | 8/31/18 | |
| 20 | 8/30/18 | Div 8 | A-103 | Bldg 1885--Note 8.09 indicates “NEW 3’4”h x 7’4”w PAINTED METAL FRAME OPENING ON EXISTING WALL PARTITION” between OFFICE 015 and MATERIAL/CONTROL 018 (mark#015B). Is this to be a Hollow Metal Borrowed light? Cased Opening? If so, is it to be knock down or welded? | Cased opening, welded frame per specification 08 11 13 | Atkins | 8/31/18 | |
| 21 | 8/30/18 | Div 10 | A-402 | Bldg 1885--Sheet A-402 --- There are a number of Toilet Accessories that appear to be missing: There are no Shower Curtain Rods on the plans (T-16) but 4 curtains; there are no hand dryers in the men’s room (3 would be indicated); only 2 Toilet Tissue Dispenser (T-1) but 7 toilets; only 2 Sanitary Napkin Disposal (T-9) but 3 women’s toilets; Men’s ADA stall appears to be missing T-4, T-5, T-7, and T-8.
