OFFEROR’S QUESTIONS AND GOVERNMENT REPLY:

Questions that may be of general interest to all Offerors and/or the Government and that are not readily answered by the proceeding changes will appear below. These questions may have been paraphrased or altered to represent several questions regarding the same subject and/or simply revised to clarify and simplify the question(s). Questions and answers are issued to the Offerors “for information only” and do not revise the solicitation, plans or specifications.

Question 1:

Equipment downstream of ATS-LS on sheet E-604 is shown as life safety. Per NEC 700, all life safety panelboards should be provided with SPD. Only EDP-LS is shown with SPD, the downstream panels are not indicated. NEC should require that. Should it be added?

Government Response 1:

Panel ELP-HG, ELP-H-1, ELP-H-3 and ELP-SM shall be provide with a 15/3 breaker serving an 80KA separately mounted surge protector

Question 2:

Vol 4, Sheet I-131 - General note #1 indicates "refer to written FFE specification package for complete specifications and requirements of all furniture items and quantities." Specification are not provided in the bid documents. Additionally, "I" series indicate "For Reference Only". Please confirm ALL furniture shown in "I" series drawings in Vol 4 are OFOI (owner-furnished, owner-installed).

Government Response 2:

Furniture Location Plans & Schedules have been included in the drawing set "For Reference Only" to coordinate work, majority of items are GFGI (Government Furnished / Government Installed). This amendment provides the FF&E Responsibility Matrix for reference/information only to identify those items that require the Contractor to install or coordinate.

Question 3:

The contract documents indicate both Factory Mutual roofing assemblies (075200-7 / 1.4.6), and a "metal conductive mesh" within the assemblies (A-551). The roofing manufacturers do not have Factory Mutual tested assemblies with this metal conductive mesh. The mesh is an additional element that was not included in the tested assemblies, and could invalidate the test results. Can the design-team please provide direction?

Government Response 3:

The wire mesh is to be removed from the roofing assemblies. D4/A-551 is revised to remove the METAL CONDUCTIVE MESH. The specification 07 52 00 is revised as follows: 3.6.5 Field Testing delete "For ELD testing, include vertical roof membrane and flashing."

Question 4:

There are discrepancies between the shade schedule and finish floor plan as to where and what type of shades are required. Please advise which should be followed.

Government Response 4:

The roller window shades as tagged on the finish location plans 'I' series dwgs with codes WT1, WT2, WT3 and WT5 document the locations, style and finish. The Window Shade Schedules on sheet A-625 & A-625.A document the mounting type and reiterates whether shades are manual or motorized along with dimensions for reference to be verified in field. These drawings have been aligned and required edits for clarification are included in this Amendment. Electrical Power plans are adjusted as needed to align with this revised schedule for Motorized Shade locations and are included in this Amendment.

Question 5:

There are no specs for High Density Mobile Shelving and the ancillary shelving. These items typically fall under the General Contractors responsibility. The drawings however do indicate large mobile shelving system and other shelving units. Please advise as to scope and responsibilies for these items. Please provide specification section.

Government Response 5:

Storage items such as shelving were found to be best served as part of a complete furniture package (GFGI) Government Furnished /Government Installed for this project to manage cost and due to complexity in variations and types to meet Mission objectives.

The High-Density Storage with surface mounted rails and structural ramp/platform is one of the exceptions as requires integration with Contractor to provide a portion of the install for space EC-134D "Project Support".

The government shall install the rails for the Manually Operated High-Density Carriages on prepared concrete and the Contractor shall install the ramping and platform materials as detailed (F5/I-502) per the requirements of the manufacturer for the anticipated heavier rolling loads along with the specified floor finish prior to the install of the HD Storage carriages/components by the government. This amendment includes Technical Specifications for that area for information only.

Question 6:

Spec Section 26 20 00 Page 27 3.1.4.1b states that EMT shall not be "encased" in concrete, mortar, grout, or other cementitious materials. However, the word "encased" suggests/implies to be as encased in a concrete ductbank, but not necessarily intended to be in masonry walls where filled with grout. With that said, we have the following questions:

1.) Is EMT allowable in masonry walls, where the cell will be grouted?

2.) Is EMT allowable in the hollow voids of masonry walls, where not grouted?

Government Response 6:

EMT shall not be used in masonry walls filled with grout.

Question 7:

Question: Are strand anchors allowed?

See Specification 31 68 13 Section 1.3.1: Rock anchors shall be threaded bar type.

See Specification 31 68 13 Section 1.3.2.a: Rock anchors shall be threaded bar or strand type.

Government Response 7:

Strands are not allowed. Rock anchors shall be threaded bar type. An edited spec is provided in this amendment.

Question 8:

Can a performance specification or tolerance be offered for the borehole alignment check devices? Conventional Construction based "boretrak" tools/devices will not measure these semi-horizontal angles.

See Specification 31 68 13 Section 3.1.7.2: Alignment Check Government Response 8:

Tolerances are provided in paragraph 3.1.7.1.

It is contractor's responsibility to demonstrate compliance with rock anchor vertical and horizontal alignment requirements. Performance of this is a means and methods.

Question 9:

Please confirm that P.T.I. Water Tightness testing/criteria does not apply to drill holes?

See Specification 31 68 13 Section 2.4.6 Sand-Cement Grout: This paragraph refers to waterproofing grout and water tightness testing.

Government Response 9:

PTI water Tightness testing/criteria is not applicable to drill holes and will not be required. An edited spec is provided in this amendment.

Question 10:

Please confirm that the Rock Anchor Drillers Logs do not require logging of cores including geological classification?

See Specification 31 68 13 Section 3.4.4 Drillers Logs: items h, I , j refer to this.

Government Response 10:

Paragraph 3.4.4 items f, g, h, i, and j are not required. An edited spec is provided in this amendment.

Government Response 12:

Furniture Location Plans & Schedules have been included in the drawing set "For Reference Only" to coordinate work.

The majority of items are GFGI (Government Furnished / Government Installed) with an exception being the High- Density Storage that requires Contractor involvement to install the flooring as detailed on Sheet I-502 after the government installs the rails. The government shall also install the carriages and shelving units.

This Amendment includes the FF&E Responsibility Matrix for your reference that identifies those items requiring the Contractor to install or coordinate.

PROPOSAL DUE DATE FOR PRICE PORTION:

29 July 2020, 2:00PM EDT

Question 20:

Since it may be desirable for an Offeror to team with a subcontractor for the purposes of the technical submission, and since most subcontractors will likely still be working on their pricing for the project after July 20, would you please consider extending the due date for the technical submission to the same July 29 date as the price submission is due?

Regardless of whether the temporary pier is built or not, the contractor may still utilize the staging and laydown area shown on CS108 for barge loading operations.
