Answer 16: See response to question 43 in amendment 0005. The method of achieving this profile is left to the means and methods of the contractor although care should be taken to not damage or crack the remaining concrete during work.

Question 17: Spec Section 05 12 00; Part 1.3:

Historically, the AISC fabrication and erection requirement of the specifications limit the subcontractor competition for steel erection. The structural steel scope for Bradley Barracks is does not require rigorous tolerances nor use for critical applications; only deck openings and RTU screen wall supports. As such please advise if the AISC requirements can be waived to increase subcontractor interest from which the Corps and West Point would benefit from due to the increased competition.

Answer 17: This requirement will not be waived on this project.

Question 18: A625, A626, A627, & A628, Is spray foam insulation required inside of the 6" CFMF stud post blast framing at the windows? If required, can mineral wool insulation be stuffed inside of the stud posts in lieu of the spray foam.

Answer 18: The standard knock-outs at 2' o.c. in the 6" stud should provide access points for inserting the expanding foam in the stud posts and SPF should remain as basis of design. Mineral wool insulation could be used only where the inside of stud posts is inaccessible to the spray-foam application

Question 19: Drawing A625, A626, A627, & A628 (Key Note 05 50 13 A1):

Please advise what gauge the window blast frame plate sill/jamb/head return is required to be..

Answer 19: Please see structural drawings sheet S-305 for information on window support framing. As noted in the details, the jambs should be (2) S600162-43 studs connected per Detail 4/S-305 and attached to the existing structure per 2 and 3/S-305. Head and sill members are non-structural and should match size and attachment requirements of interior cold-formed metal wall framing found in architectural drawings and specifications.

Question 20: S002 Repair Note F1, Please confirm that the quantity identified on the structural drawings for self leveling grout 750 cubic feet (18,000 SF @ ½" thickness) applies only to structural repairs for deterioration and spalling in existing concrete floor slabs only. Please advise if the contractor will be responsible for additional self leveling materials to level subfloors beyond the 750 cubic feet if required to comply with manufacturer's tolerances for installation of floor finishes?

Answer 20: The 750 cubic feet is indeed for structural repairs in existing floor slabs only. All other floor leveling requirements can be found in the architectural plans and are separate from this quantity. Please see Concrete Repair Notes F.3 for some additional information. Yes, leveling is as required by flooring installer requirements for warranty; see overall architectural floor plans for slab topping quantities for bidding in addition to the structural repair quantity of 750 cubic feet.

Question 21: Reference: Drawings I101, I102, I103, I104: Please advise if floor leveling is required for floor finishes E1 and SC2?

Answer 21: Standard leveling is not required for floor finishes E1 and SC2. Patching and repairing of the subfloor is required to eliminate any irregularities or anomalies resulting from demolition of existing floor.

Question 22: Please provide the strength of the existing concrete slabs.

Answer 22: Please see Concrete Repair Notes A.1. on sheet S-002 for this information. "EXISTING

CONCRETE HAS BEEN FIELD VERIFIED TO BE 4,000 PSI COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH FOR

COLUMNS AND BEARING WALLS AND 3,000 PSI COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH FOR ALL OTHER

CONCRETE. THESE VALUES SHOULD BE USED FOR DESIGN OF FRP REINFORCEMENT."
