QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

1. Reference: Demo drawings AD-4 and Section 09910 Part 3.2.

Question: Per the demo drawings AD-4 the activity room and lobby will see the tile flooring removed but the ceiling systems are to remain. Later the reflected ceiling drawing A-6 illustrates what appears to be “textured acrylic coating on concrete”. Is this the existing coating to remain? The discrepancy arises as the specification for painting Section 09910 Part 3.2 appears to only specify latex finishes not acrylic coating.

Answer: See Drawing A-4 General Note 7 and Drawing A-10 General Note 2.

2. Question: Since potential bidding contractors were not afforded the opportunity to view a living unit during the site visit can photos be provided?

Answer: A site visit is scheduled for 7 September 2016 at 9:00 a.m. Bidders an opportunity to view a living unit.

Please see FAR 52.236-27 Alt I for further details on the site visit.

3. Reference: Design drawing A-5 detail A/A-5

Question: Per Design drawing A-5 Detail A/A-5 the ADA turning radius for a typical restroom appears to be very “tight”. Since potential bidders were not afforded the opportunity to view typical units should we assume all required radius requirements will be able to be met as designed and any field verification revealing discrepancies will be viewed as “unforeseen conditions”?

Answer: Only areas required to meet Accessibility Standards are Activity, Corridor, Lobby and Toilet Room on the First Floor. It can be assumed that radius requirements are met as indicated by Detail A / A-5.

4. Question: Since potential bidders were not afforded the opportunity to view the roof there are a few questions related to this aspect.

Answer: A site visit is scheduled for 7 September 2016 at 9:00 a.m. Bidders an opportunity to view the attic. Please see FAR 52.236-27 Alt I for further details on the site visit.

5. Reference: Drawing A-1 and A-2

Question: Per design drawing A-1 there is existing attic access in stack “C” and the awarded contractor is to extend the catwalk and install a new ladder access. Is the “fixed ladder elevation” on sheet A-2 representative of the ladder required in this area?

Answer: Please refer to and note the following: Drawing A-1 Demolition Notes incorrectly labeled, should state Notes. Note 6 “New access ladder and catwalk extension” refers to catwalk access similar to ladder indicated by Note 5A and Note 4 on Drawing S-1. Note 2 on Drawing A-2 calls out Attic Access Ladder at Stack A, C, D and E that is depicted by Fixed Ladder Elevation and Details.

6. Question: Can photos of the existing roof hatch and catwalk be provided since this was not viewed during the site visit?

Answer: A site visit is scheduled for 7 September 2016 at 9:00 a.m. Bidders an opportunity to view the roof hatch and catwalk. Please see FAR 52.236-27 Alt I for further details on the site visit.

7. Reference: Specification 15900 Section 1.1 (A.3)

Question: Per specification 15900 Section 1.1 (A.3) the DDC system shall tie into the existing base meta-sys system. Can the Government provide the company who currently maintains the base-wide system to ensure compliance with any new DDC system?

Answer: Johnson Controls, Inc; Mark Zip (C) 843-261-4609

8. Reference: Specification 16300 Section 1.1 (B)

Question: Per specification 16300 Section 1.1 (B) the new fire alarm and mass notification system shall interface with the existing base central station monitoring equipment. Can the Government provide the company who currently maintains the base-wide system to ensure compliance with the new fire alarm system?

Answer: The fire alarm system is currently maintained by TFW. Point of contact is Mark Swaim, telephone 912- 767-7479. Cell telephone number 912-228-7409. The POC for the base fire marshal is Paul Crowell. Telephone 912-320-5495.

9. Question: Per the specification submittal list it appears that “soil bearing capacity” test reports are required 15 calendar days after award. Please verify if this test report is required 15 calendar days after award or 15 calendar days following NTP. Also there does not appear to be information regarding the criteria or type of required testing.

Is this test to be a “Plate Load Test”? How many test locations are required and where are the locations?

Answer: Eliminate Submittal Schedule Item 02300 / 1.02A Test Data for Soil Bearing Capacity – testing is not required. Revise Submittal Schedule Item 02300 / 1.02B to reference Specification 02300 / 1.02D.

10: Question: Once the DOAS unit is removed from the building, will the contractor be required to transport to an offsite location or will this be completed by the Government?

Answer: Contractor will be required to transport DOAS components off construction site to storage location on Fort Stewart as directed by Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). See Technical Provisions General (TPG) paragraph 1.6.

11 Question: Does the Government currently have any Asbestos Containing Material/Lead Base Material reports available for the proposed building?

Answer: We don't have asbestos or lead base material reports because building 504 was completely renovated.

12. Question: Will the Contractor be required to provide storage for any or all of the Government furnished equipment/appliances?

Answer: No.

13 Question: Will there be a storage/laydown area designated for staging this project?

Answer: Yes, see Technical Provisions General (TPG) paragraph 4.1.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 2

1. Reference: Design Drawing Sheet S-1, Hollowcore Plank Penetration Notes.

Question: During the follow-up site visit within the units, the Hollowcore Planks were not visible. Within the solicitation documents it does not appear any information is provided regarding the currently installed direction of the hollowcore plank layout. How the planks are installed currently (the direction of the plank layout) will impact the direction of the prestressing strands. The length of the hollowcore planks and the design capacities will additionally affect the number and size of the strands.

Per the drawing note: The General Contractor is required “not to decrease the structural capacity of the section of the hollowcore planks and to have an engineer design and sign and seal any additional structural capacity or supports”.

Since this is a potentially large risk for any bidding contractor we would like to request the Government provide the hollowcore plank layout in an effort to ascertain if this engineering will be required?

Additionally all bidding contractors will need to know the current designed capacity. Can this be provided?

Answer: Direction of the hollowcore plank layout was visible within the Typical Living Unit. Direction of plank is indicated by “Typical Section thru Chase Opening” on Drawing AD-2 and A-7.

Existing hollowcore plank shop drawings are not available. Contractor will be required to perform site investigation after award to determine number and size of strands. Contractor shall include structural design analysis per Drawing S-1. The Contractor should price the site investigation and structural design analysis accordingly in their bid.

Construction Documents for the original structure indicating design loads will be available to successful bidding Contractor.

2. Reference: Description of Work, Paragraph 4.4.3.1 Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM)

Question: This Solicitation requires the contractor to perform asbestos abatement. No asbestos report was provided with the Solicitation. Can the Asbestos Report for the building be provided?

Answer: TPG, Paragraph 4.4.3.1 addresses actions to be taken if Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) were to be encountered.

We do not expect to encounter ACM as building has been completely renovated. See Question 11, from first set of questions.
