A. There are millwork/solid surface surrounds installed in front of original plaster walls in the Memorial Room. The plaster walls disturbed by the installation of new MEP utilities and the reconfiguration of the millwork will need to be repaired/restored.

36 Q. Drawing A429 calls for new solid surface surrounds in the memorial room but also has a note at the bottom of the sheet that states existing solid surface memorial wall panels to be salvaged and modified. Please clarify if we are to try to reuse the existing solid surface wall panels or provide all new. Please not, the historical renovation drawings show many of these areas as plaster repair.

A. In the Memorial Room first floor, there is an existing solid surface panelized wall system covering most walls, with the integration of new HVAC ductwork for this room the new solid surface panels are in keeping with the original design concept but larger and different configuration to conceal the duct pathways so requires new material. New solid surface colors and finishes to match the existing as noted in the documents. Only the existing Memorial name plaques & descriptive signage on their immediate substrates are to be salvaged for reuse in the new millwork (along with the 4 symbolic items in the display cases to be salvaged for reuse in the new work).

As noted in the response to Inquiry ID: 9233908, the millwork/solid surface surrounds are installed in front of original plaster walls in the Memorial Room. The plaster walls disturbed by the installation of new MEP utilities and the reconfiguration of the millwork will need to be repaired/restored.

A. The Land Mobile Radio system is an entirely new system in the building.

45. Q. Will the wireless DAS be an extension of an existing system? It appears there is fiber fiber coming into the building from other buildings so there is potential to leverage a remote headend in another building and offer a cost savings. This would require headend information such as vendor, model, bands/carriers supported, and any that should added.

A. There is no remote headend tie under the scope of this project.

46. Q. Will the public safety be an extension of the existing system or a complete decommissioning & recommissioning of the entire existing system?

Shade mounting bracket is installed "top surface mount with fascia cover, single shade running full width & height of interior window , frame to frame (existing window sits back deeply from wall plane providing sufficient surface at top to mount shade within window area).

49. Q. Exterior Window Schedule lists the different window types but does not provide sizes. Please clarify window sizes.

A. The new windows are to fit existing openings and the contractor must field verify the sizes required.

Approximate sizes can be scaled from the elevations. For further guidance, the approximate size of new windows for the B1 and B2 levels is 2'-3" x 4'-1" M.O.

50. Q. 1. Section 10 56 13 Steel Shelving - Sect 2.5.3 Manufactured Components
