A. The contractor requested change will only provide a latch position reading but not a door position reading. This was not the intent of the design.

20. Q. Drawing Lee S-102, Lee S-105, SHERM S-102, SHERM S-105 – The orientation of Example A is shown running only along the N-S side (i.e. 13' long span) of both the barracks. Please clarify if this type of repair will only be in the N-S side direction or can it also be in the E-W side direction.

A. Example A indicates a possible reinforcing scenario if there are cracks between the columns.

The size, quantity, and orientation will be as directed in the field. DO NOT USE THE EXAMPLES AS A TAKEOFF. Please refer to S-002 and the price schedule for allowances for each type of repair.

21. Q. The rebar equivalency for the FRP around the new slab openings on Drawings SHERM S-102 to SHERM S-106 is shown as 2#6 E.W, E.F. Please clarify if E.F. (each face) means the top and bottom sides of the slab or if it means each face of the new slab opening (i.e. each slab opening will have four faces). This clarification will help us design the FRP system accordingly.

A. EF means EACH FACE (top and bottom). The dashed line indicates bottom of slab only.

22. Q. Can you please provide a schematic of the actual rebar lay out at all Structural Keynote 2 – Install Fiber Reinforced Polymer for Slab Strengthening locations at both the barracks?

A. Drawings indicate quantity and dimensions.

23. Q. Drawing LEE S-002 & SHERM S-002 – Under the Concrete Repair Notes Section – No. 3 – Repair of Cracks at Slab on Grade – Drawings LEE S-100S & SHERM S-100B state to repair all cracks in the slab on grade. However, quantity is not provided for this repair type. The only crack repair quantity provided is for the supported structural slabs in both the barracks. Can you please provide a quantity for the crack repairs at slab on grade level?

A. See CLIN 009 for repair quantities.

24. Q. Drawing LEE S-106 & SHERM S-106 – All the FRP (Keynote 2) locations shown on these drawings state that the FRP system shall be installed on the bottom of the slab only. Please confirm that FRP will not be required on the topside of the slab which is also the exposed roof level of the barracks.

A. Please refer to the hatch key on each sheet for FRP location. Dashed outline indicates bottom.

There are a few locations that indicated E.F. There is no FRP required at both faces of slab. The hatch key will govern.

25. Q. Will intumescent topcoat or UL rated fireproofing be required for the FRP? If UL rated fireproofing is required, then please specify the hourly rating, and also note that this will affect the overall finish elevation of the slab, beams and columns as the UL fireproofing is much thicker than intumescent coating.

A. Please see the attached drawing for the locations requiring spray fireproofing of FRP-- these locations are confined to the underside of the slab as shown. Specification 07 81 00 attached is revised attached clarifying these locations. FRP used for crack repair only does not require fireproofing.

26. Q. Please confirm that prebagged specialty self-consolidating concrete repair mortar would be acceptable to use in lieu of the ready mix self-consolidated concrete at new shear capital locations.

A. No. Not acceptable.

27. Q. Please confirm that prebagged specialty concrete repair mortar would be acceptable to use in lieu of the ready-mix concrete at concrete spall repair locations.

A. Yes. Acceptable.

28. Q. Drawing LEE S-002 – Under the Concrete Repair Notes Section – No. 5 – New Shear Capitals – Note 5(b) states to include 4 shear capitals per floor as a base quantity of individual column capitals in the bid. However, Drawing LEE S-106 shows additional shear capitals to be constructed below the main roof level – Structural Keynote 14. Please confirm that these shear capitals on the main roof level are over and above the 4 shear capitals per floor that we need to carry in the bid.

A. THE BASE BIDS SHOULD INCLUDE ALL SHEAR CAPITALS NOTED ON THE STRUCTURAL

DRAWINGS AND ALL ALLOWANCES NOTED IN THE NOTES ON S-002. CAPITALS NOTED ON THE ROOF (AND ALL OTHER FLOORS) ARE REQUIRED. THE ALLOWANCES ON S-002 ARE ADDITIONAL IN CASE

CRACKS ARE DISCOVERED IN THE FIELD.

29. Q. Detail C2 on Drawings LEE S-502 & SHERM S-502 – Lightweight Concrete Infill - Please clarify for which repair item is this detail applicable. In addition, please provide a quantity for this repair as well as the type of surface preparation required in terms of CSP profile.

A. LW concrete is listed as an option at areas of crack repairs at depths larger than 1 1/2". Please use allowances noted on S-002 and the price schedule.

30. Q. Drawing LEE S-002, & SHERM S-002 - FRP NOTES - Note 2.C Item (c), states that "THERE ARE THREE PRIMARY TYPES OF FLEXURAL REINFORCEMENT LIKELY TO TAKE PLACE - NEGATIVE UNI-

DIRECTIONAL REINFORCEMENT UNDER NON-LOAD BEARING CMU DEVISING WALLS, SHOWN AS

EXAMPLE A IN PLANS, NEGATIVE BI-DIRECTIONAL REINFORCEMENT AROUND INTERIOR COLUMNS SHOWN AS EXAMPLE B AND POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT ON THE UNDERSLAB ON SLABS AND BEAMS."

Please provide a breakdown on the quantities for the 3 types of flexural reinforcement likely to take place

– SF of negative uni-directional reinforcement shown as Example A, SF of negative bi-directional reinforcement around interior columns shown as Example B and SF of positive reinforcement on the underside of slab and beams. There is a significant price difference between all the 3 repair types and between uni-directional and bi-directional FRP which can affect the overall bid pricing significantly given the bid quantity of 8,000 sf at Lee Barracks and 10,000 sf at Sherman Barracks. In addition, determination of approximate quantities during the pre-bid walk through is not possible as the existing finishes are not removed yet.

A. Yes you are correct. It is impossible to determine exact takeoffs of FRP required until all architectural finishes are removed, and a comprehensive survey has taken place. Quantities listed on S- 002 are best estimates based on field observation and past experience in similar barracks renovations of similar construction types. Beam reinforcement is less likely. Example A - UNI-DIR mid-span reinforcement will likely occur in similar quantities as Example B- punching shear reinforcement.

31. Q. Can you please provide an approximate quantity breakdown for the spalled concrete surfaces in terms of how much repairs are on topside of the slab vs underside of the slab vs column concrete repairs vs wall concrete repairs vs beam concrete repairs? There is a significant price difference between repairs at all the above listed locations which can affect the overall bid pricing significantly given the bid quantity of 1,300 sq. feet at Lee Barracks and 1,750 sq. feet at Sherman Barracks. In addition, determination of approximate quantities during the pre-bid walk through is not possible as the existing finishes are not removed yet.

A. Bid as per S-002 and the price schedule.

32. Q. Please confirm if the any of the bays in both the barracks have depressed structural slab areas. Based on our experience working at Bradley and Eisenhower barracks, the center bay was depressed and additional surface preparation and FRP transitioning details were required to install the FRP system.

A. All know slab depressions are indicated on structural plans.

33. Q. Lee Barracks – Drawings S-100B to S-106 shows all the locations for the FRP system (Keynote

2) at the new concrete slab opening locations. With regards to the bi-directional FRP, only on Dwgs S- 100B & S-105 it shows installation on the top and bottom of the slab, the rest of the levels the installation is only on the underside of the slab. Please confirm that this is correct and the FRP system should be designed accordingly.

A. The EACH FACE (E.F.) note was inadvertent, and was only located at a few new penetrations, not at cracks. The dashed line indicates bottom of slab only. Revised drawings are attached.

34. Q. Sherman Barracks – Drawings S-101 to S-106 shows all the locations for the FRP system (Keynote 2) at the new concrete slab opening locations. With regards to the bi-directional FRP, only on Dwgs S-102 & S-105 it shows installation on the top and bottom of the slab, the rest of the levels the installation is only on the underside of the slab. Please confirm that this is correct and the FRP system should be designed accordingly.
