Question and Anwers – Lockers and Drawers

Question 1: In the women's changing room, a bench was shown to us which is intended to serve as a reference/example. This bench is permanently connected to the backrest and the coat rack section. In the solicitation, however, these two items are listed separately, with the requirement that the backrest be freestanding.

Is the existing on-site combination the determining factor, meaning that the new units shall only be installed as combined units and that the coat rack section does not need to be freestanding and installed separately?

Response: The coat rack and back rest can be one unit or two separate units as listed in the solicitation.

Question 2: Regarding the painting work, is it sufficient to mask the electrical outlets, light switches, and baseboards, or is their removal and subsequent reinstallation required?

Response: There is no specific requirement for either method. The final product must be free of blemishes and present a uniform, professional-grade painted finish, consistent with the quality standards outlined in our requirements.

Question 3: Is it possible for the radiators to be removed by your personnel, or should the walls behind the radiators be painted without removing them?

Response: Yes, it is possible to have the USG remove radiators to allow for painting of walls.

Question 4: With regard to the cracks, is it sufficient to rake them out and repair them using an appropriate textured acrylic sealant, or is the incorporation of reinforcing mesh required?

Response: Any repairs to surface imperfections such as cracks or holes, regardless of size, must be executed using the appropriate industry-standard methods to ensure a seamless and durable remediation. The final product must be free of blemishes and present a uniform, professional-grade painted finish, consistent with the quality standards outlined in our requirements.

Response: Yes, trucks can access the main door.

Question 7: Would you like the metal lockers to be welded?

Response: Our requirement is that all metal lockers must be manufactured to meet the defined salient physical and performance characteristics specified in the solicitation/contract.

As long as the lockers meet or exceed all stated salient characteristics and performance specifications, the choice of standard fabrication methods (whether welded, bolted, or riveted) is at the discretion of the manufacturer."
