Question #23: Drawing S-110 Construction Sheet Note #1 calls for 1x3/16” 19W4 Painted Bar Grating which is fabricated from steel bar. The only specification section we’re provided on grating is section 06 73 01 Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) Grating, however FRP Grating is not called out anywhere on the drawings. Please clarify and provide new specifications for the steel bar grating.

Answer #23: Bar grating shall satisfy the following requirements:

Design steel grating in accordance with NAAMM MBG 531 for bar type grating.

Galvanize steel floor gratings.

b. NAAMM MBG 531, band edges of grating with bars of the same size as the bearing bars. Weld banding in accordance with the manufacturer's standard for trim unless otherwise indicated. Design tops of bearing bars, cross or intermediate bars to be in the same plane and match grating finish.

c. Slip resistance requirements must exceed both wet and dry a static coefficient of friction of 0.5.

Question #24: Drawings SX-120 and SX-121 indicate 1-1/2” 22GA Type B deck by United Steel or approved Equal at the Processing Area and Magazine, however these drawings are for existing conditions and do not indicate any required replacement or repairs. Please remove section 05 30 00 Steel Decks from the project documents, or provide locations or quantities that do require new steel deck if needed.

Answer #24: Specification section 05 30 00 is removed from specifications.

Question #25: Drawing A-310 Both 6 Detail shows Security Grilles. The security grilles are not sized. Please clarify need by providing additional design.

Answer #25: The Grilles are to be sized to cover the area of the wall.

Question #26: Corridors 006 and 008 abut the magazine building and the field office building, respectively. The Finish schedule identifies FRP-E finish on both the North and South elevations. The south elevations of these corridors are shown on the floor plans as wall types 1, 8 and 10. Sheet A540 does not show corrugated FRP on any of these wall types. Please confirm that corrugated FRP is only intended for the exterior corridor walls.

Answer #26: Corrugated FRP is required only for the exterior corridor walls. Wall types 8 and 10 do require FRP Panel, however it is flat type FRP-I. Wall type 1 does not require FRP.

Question #27: Please confirm there is no stud framing required between posts in wall type 6.

Answer #27: Stud framing is not intended to be required unless FRP manufacturer chosen requires it for support.

Question #28: FRP-I is shown on the finish schedule in various rooms, of various wall type. Only some of these wall types are shown with applied FRP on sheet A540. Please confirm that the intent is to include FRP-I as shown on the finish schedule.

Answer #28: FRP shall be provided per finish schedule and details 6 on sheet A-310.

Question #29: The drawings are vague on areas requiring Ultra High Speed deluge systems. From the drawings, it seems to be rooms: 210, 211, 215, 219, and 301. Is this correct? Drawing AX110 – Composite Existing Floor Plan, shows equipment layouts.

Are these correct, or have they changed? We will need this information to price quantities of equipment needed.

Answer #29: Contractor to provide 4 systems as shown on Sheet F-503. Provide sufficient piping to install systems in any room shown on Sheet F111. Contracting Officer’s Representative to determine final equipment location and configuration.

Question #30: Finish schedule shows FRP-E finish in corridors 001, 002, 003 and 004, North and South elevations. The North elevation is identified as wall type 4, which per sheet A540 has Gypsum board up to 10’ AFF and corrugated FRP above that. The South elevation wall types vary, but none of them (types 8, 9, 11, 13, 14) are shown with corrugated FRP on sheet A540. Please confirm that sheet A540 is accurate and FRP-E is only on the exterior wall of the corridor, and only above 10’ AFF.

Answer #30: That is correct - sheet A540 is accurate and FRP-E is only on the exterior wall of the corridor, and only above 10’ AFF

Question #31: In regard to the steel walkway frames. The drawings only indicate a “5x5” steel frame and do not specify a wall thickness. Please specify if the 5x5 square tube is to have 3/16”, 1/4”, 5/16”, 3/8”, or 1/2" thick walls. Additionally, please confirm the baseplate size and anchors shown detail A/S-301 are to be used for the walkway frames. This section is also called out on S-110 for the Processing Area Building which utilize HSS4x4x5/16 columns on Line A.

Answer #31: Use a 3/16” wall thickness. The baseplate size is the same for the walkway frames.

Question #32: A vapor retarder is not shown in the roofing details of the drawing set.

Section 07 22 00 Roof and Deck Insulation specifies a felt base sheet with hot asphalt application. However, in order to place felt at the metal deck areas on the Processing Area Building roof a substrate board would need to be placed prior to the use of a self-adhered or pinned vapor retarder. This would increase the overall height of the roof, and as hot asphalt doesn’t typically work very well with EPDM systems we recommend a 6mil polyurethane sheeting in lieu of the felt vapor retarder. Please confirm that this is acceptable.

Answer #32: This is acceptable

Question #33: Section 07 22 00 Roof and Deck Insulation specifies the use of a ½” thick protection board on the roof. There is currently no protection board shown on the drawings, nor do the existing conditions photographs on the plans show the use of a protection board as being built in place. Please clarify.

Answer #33: Please use ½” protection board as specified

Question #34: Field Office fans SF-1 is missing from the Ventilation Schedule on M-601.

Please provide.

Answer #34: See attached fan schedule.

Question #35: Refer to ERDL Facility Spec. Section 23 09 23.13 20 Page 10; the specification refers to ‘corrosion resistance’ performance in the controls section. “1.5.4 Finish of New Equipment; New equipment finishing shall be factory provided.

Manufacturer's standard factory finishing shall be proven to withstand 125 hours in a salt-spray fog test. Equipment located outdoors shall be proven to withstand 500 hours in a saltspray fog test. Salt-spray fog test shall be according to ASTM B117, with acceptance criteria as follows: immediately after completion of the test, the finish shall show no signs of degradation or loss of adhesion beyond 0.125 inch on either side of the scratch mark.” Please provide a source for this material - the companies we have talked to can’t meet the spec.

Answer #35: Revise the paragraph as follows:

1.5.4. New equipment finishing shall be factory provided from the manufacturer’s standard finishes.

Question #37: The Div. 12 Window blind specification section calls for mini blinds but the finish schedule says A610 "sheer weave" - please advise.

Answer #37: The note reference should be 11. Mini blinds may be used per the specification. A use of the specified product is for blinds.

Question #38: Drawing A-111 between columns 1 - 5 shows new wall Type 7 which is a 12" poured concrete wall. However, Drawing SX110 shows there is only an existing 8" foundation wall at this location. Is this the intent or are we to replace the foundation at this location. If so, please provide details.

Answer #38: The intent is for this to be a 12" wall. Dowels noted on the drawings shall be imbed 4" at these locations. See attached detail to replace detail C/S-351.
