In the Interior Wall Pattern Legend it indicates WP5 and WP6 are shaded and WP4 is not shaded. There are several areas on the elevations that indicate "SOLID SURFACE WALL PROTECTION" that are not shaded, would these be considered WP-4 material? (Example:

C5/A707 between windows and WP5)

Government Response 51:

For the example referenced C5/A707, the Accent Wall Colors of Yellow and Grey are identified by their applicable Finish Codes 'P' for paint and 'WP' for wall protection. The General colors of P1 on the top and WP4 on the lower portion are called out only once as the (Typical) for the Corridors and are a "white" product that is why they are not shaded. On the Interior Finish Schedules on Sheets I-001 & I-002 further information on those specified materials can be found. Other Elevations in that drawing series follow this same method of documentation, calling out the (TYPICAL) P1 & WP4 "white" wall finishes only once per elevation. Refer to wall partition tags and noted details for further clarification on wall makeup.

Government Response 68:

The following site description is provided for information only. Please submit another inquiry to clarify your request if necessary.

The existing site is currently developed and consists of numerous buildings, bituminous asphalt pavement, grass and wooded areas with exposed rock ledges and boulders. The project area is bound by Thayer Road to the east with Cullum Road and the Hudson River beyond; Building 606 to the north with various Barracks beyond; a bituminous asphalt parking area to the west with a wooded and steeply upward sloped area beyond; and residential Quarters to the south (Quarters #5 through #9). Quarters 5 through 8 and Garage 20 are being demolished as part of this project.

An area between Quarters #5 and Building 606 was the previous location of the Central apartment structure, which has since been demolished. The area is currently being used as a construction trailer location for the on-going Cadet Barack Upgrade Program (CBUP), renovations of various Barracks. Bituminous asphalt access roads (Wilson Road) and vehicular parking areas traverse the project site.

The project area is steeply sloped from west to east. A grade change of approximately 70' exists from the upper wooded area toward the west and Thayer Road toward the east. Numerous areas of exposed rock ledges and boulders are present within this area. A bituminous asphalt walk (Billy Goat Trail) traverses the wooded area and provides pedestrian access from a residential area to the west to Building 606.

Question 71:

When drilling and blasting occurs there may be some over- blast within the building footprint and the proposed foundations. Can the blast rock be reused onsite if processed to infill in between the over-blast and subgrade voids? If not, what type of material can be used at this location or at locations that would require structural backfill at interior foundations?

Government Response 71:

See specification 310000 section 3.2.7 regarding over-excavating at column and wall footings.

Question 72:

Is there a model number for Water Quality Structure #04?

There are no heat trace junction boxes shown on parking level B, but there is storm piping on parking level B. Please advise.

Government Response 91:

As drawing note on drawings PL111D-J states, sanitary and storm drainage pipe that serves the Engineering Building and discharges through the Parking Garage must be heat traced. Floor drains and associated piping for surface drainage inside the Parking Garage are not to be heat traced.

Question 92:

Please confirm the extent of moisture mitigation required for flooring going over new concrete slabs.

Government Response 92:

It is not possible to inform extent of moisture mitigation required or if mitigation is best solution without results of cured concrete moisture testing for each type of flooring to be installed.
