We are asking contracting offices for consideration to add FAR 52.208-9 for SKILCRAFT door hardware in your current and future acquisition as it now applies to construction and renovation "flow down" situations per US AbilityOne Commission Procurement List Notice of Addition #20150054 (9 Feb 2016).

The architect's specification is the difference. Architecturally Specified Products ARE called out as an "ingredient" in construction and renovation products. PL #20150054 of 9 Feb 2016 added 90 door hardware products compliant to ANSI and BHMA certification IRT FAR 8.005 and 36.202.

SKILCRAFT Door Hardware products are architecturally compliant in specification DIVISION 08 OPENINGS, SECTION 08 71 00 DOOR HARDWARE; ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Cylindrical Locks, ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Exit Devices, ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Door Closers, ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Mortise Locks. SKILCRAFT locksets ARE Small and Large Format IC compatible.

FAR 52.208-9 for mandatory and specific sourcing does not require a separate CLIN because the product is architecturally specified for construction and renovation requirements. The product is going to the job site by the same project incorporation as all other materials specified by the architect.

Recommended text. "The following items have been identified to be obtained from a mandatory AbilityOne source in compliance with FAR clause 52.208-9, Contractor Use of Mandatory Sources of Supply or Services:

DIVISION 08 – OPENINGS, 08 71 00 DOOR HARDWARE; SKILCRAFT Brand Exit Devices, Door Controls – Closers, Mortise Locks & Latches. Pricing and availability may be obtained from SKILCRAFT PDQ at 1-855-NIB- SPEC (1-855-642-7732) or SKILCRAFT.ASP@VISIONCORPS.NET.

Additional items may be available from the mandatory source. AbilityOne's procurement products list can be searched at: www.abilityone.com Response to Bidder Inquiry ID 7577148:

Contractors should propose based on project specifications.

24. Bidder Inquiry ID 7577169:

Specifications 07 42 63 - 3.3 is asking for continuous full height panels, as most of the panels would be 50' in length and 2.1. Panel Materials 2.1.1 e. 1. require Standard Flush Panels with Reveal Joints, 2. Smooth, Flat Surface Texture, the length maximum for this panel is 32' the only way to get the 50' is to go to a Mesa profiled panel and it would require a manufacturer approval due to the panel length and thickness. Please clarify.

Response to Bidder Inquiry ID 7577169:

Refer to revised detail 2/A-501 for horizontal panel joint detail and height (@ 36'8" AFF). Provide continuous horizontal panel joint per provided detail at North, East and West sides of the building (not required at South side of hangar since metal panels stop above two story roof typ.) This should be the only horizontal panel joint and shall allow for one continuous full height panel above and below the joint. Revised drawing will be provided via amendment.

25. Bidder Inquiry ID 7577172:

1.8 Warranty requires a 20 yr. Manufacturers no-dollar limit warranty and no Insulated Metal Panel manufacturer currently offers this type of warranty, the only 20 yr. warranty offered is a Weather-tight warranty.

Response to Bidder Inquiry ID 7577172:

26. Bidder Inquiry ID 7577361:

On the finish schedule Porcelain Tile it call for 20x20 tile. In the spec it calls for nominal tile size 12x24. Please clarify which is correct.

Also on A-404 it looks like the tile is either 10x20 or 12x24. Please clarify. If it is suppose to be 20x20 we will have to cut the tile to get to 10x20 which will add significant cost.

Response to Bidder Inquiry ID 7577361:

The expectation is to have the full size tile with as few cuts as possible. The design is based on the FY14 install of 12x24 tile. This tile has been provided as a design basis as the manufacturer has since discontinued the product. The GC will need to submit an "or equal" for the shop drawings. For the review, the color and technical specs will weigh more than the size of the tile.

What product should be used on the gypsum walls specified to receive PNT3 waterbased epoxy, in absence of an epoxy spec for gypsum.

Response to Bidder Inquiry ID 7578276:

Finish Legend on sheet I-002 will be revised to eliminate reference to "waterbased epoxy". GWB to receive PNT3 shall be considered "new wall board not otherwise specified" and use the High Performance Architectural Water Based Polyurethane from the paint table in the specifications.

31. Bidder Inquiry ID 7578280:

Spec section 99000 for interior steel says to use "Armour" for all metal, not otherwise specified. Armor is a paint that has a splatter coat, similar to a knockdown or orange peel texture.

Response to Bidder Inquiry ID 7578298:

Exposed ceilings scheduled to receive PNT1 shall use the High Performance Architectural Latex. Specifications have been changed to include this in the paint tables.

36. Bidder Inquiry ID 7578424:

Exposed wall surfaces scheduled to receive PNT1 or PNT3 shall use the High Performance Architectural Water Based Polyurethane from the paint table in the specifications. Ceilings and metals shall use the High Performance Architectural Latex paint system which has been added to the paint tables.

38. Bidder Inquiry ID 7578518:

Spec Section 12 21 00 Paragraph 3.2- Please confirm windows in the administrative area overlooking the high bay training area do NOT receive blinds.

Response to Bidder Inquiry ID 7578518:

Specification is missing some important punctuation. Windows in admin areas overlooking the high bay training DO require blinds.

39. Bidder Inquiry ID 7579257:

Reference roofing specifications related to roofing membrane. The specs call for an 80 mil system fully adhered.

Would the government consider allowing the contractor to install "a mechanical attachment system"? This would allow the same roof membrane but instead of gluing it, it can be mechanically fastened along with installing 2-way air vents. We are told this solution would meet all of the performance requirements without all the adhesives; thus eliminating flammable products. This project would still be provided the same warranty as a fully adhered system.

Response to Bidder Inquiry ID 7579257:

Provide fully adhered roofing membrane as specified.

On S-003 Note 10 - An open ended block (ie an open ended bond beam) will fail before testing of 3000 PSI on a net area can be achieved. Please clarify requirements for testing of the 3000 PSI Grout.

Response to Bidder Inquiry ID 7579844:

Delete requirement for open ended block.

45. Bidder Inquiry ID 7579984:

a. Spec 99000 only calls for Scuffmaster on gypsum substrates. "Armour" in stairs and wet areas. "Scrubtough" in all other areas.

b. Finish Legend I-002 description for PNT2 agrees with this gypsum spec.

c. Some gypsum walls are scheduled to receive PNT3, which is described as "Waterbased Epoxy" on I-002.

d. What product should be used on the gypsum walls specified to receive PNT3 waterbased epoxy, in absence of an epoxy spec for gypsum.

e. In some areas (ie. vestibule 100)- the finish schedule calls for walls to be PNT3 (water based epoxy), however Finish Schedule Remark 3 calls for the walls to be waterbased polyurethane (which points to the scuffmaster products). What product should be used for PNT3 Walls that also have Remark 3?

Response to Bidder Inquiry ID 7579984:

GWB walls specified to receive PNT3 shall use the waterbased polyurethane; reference to waterbased epoxy on I- 002 will be deleted.

46. Bidder Inquiry ID 7579986:

a. 99000 for interior steel says to use "Armour" for all metal, not otherwise specified. Armor is a paint that has a splatter coat, similar to a knockdown or orange peel texture.

b. Exposed ceilings (for instance room 135 High Bay) call for PNT3.

i. Finish Legend describes PNT3 as "Water Based Epoxy Paint". There is no spec in 99000 for water based epoxy paint on steel. Please advise on what product to apply to exposed ceilings with PNT3.

ii. Note 3 on I-003 calls for the ceiling and walls in this room to be water based polyurethane (which points to the scuffmaster product).

iii. The walls in High Bay 135 are called for PNT3, and also have remark 3 and 4. Please advise on the coating for the exposed wall structure above the acoustical panels, as well as for the walls below the acoustic panels.

c. Note on I-003 calls for Stair Ceilings to receive PNT2. We will price these exposed ceilings to receive the "Armor" coating, which seems unusual. Please confirm.

d. Please confirm that all door frames, handrails, stair components, columns, etc. are to receive the "Armour" product.

e. Most of the exposed ceilings call for PNT1, which is NOT described as Scuffmaster on the finish legend.

i. Are all of these PNT1 exposed ceilings to be figured as Scuffmaster Armor (since that is the only product that appears in the steel spec)?

Response to Bidder Inquiry ID 7579986:

Refer to revised paint tables. Ceilings and interior metals will have high performance architectural latex.

47. Bidder Inquiry ID 7580553:

What is the maintenance period required for the plants and trees at the bioretention basin?

Response to Bidder Inquiry ID 7580553:
