R068 Specs Section 13 34 19 - Metal Building Systems

Section 1.4 System Description: Provide a complete integrated set of metal building system manufacture’s standard mutually dependent components and assemblies…inclusive of metal roof panels and metal wall panels. These metal panels are furthered defined throughout this division as standard factory-assembled and tested assembly to ASTM standards. While the primary and secondary structure “could” be fabricated in Japan the metal panel assemblies as defined in this specification are not available. Therefore a complete Metal Building System from a single manufacture in Japan cannot be procured. Please advise if a MBS engineered and fabricated can be obtained from outside of Japan.

Refer to specification section 13 34 19. Yes, a complete MBS may be obtained from either inside and outside of Japan.

R069 Specs Section 13 34 19 - Metal Building Systems

If the building MBS can be procured outside of Japan, then please provide a variation to 1.6.3 Manufacture’s Qualifications that would allow for a 3rd party verification of a licensed engineer in the geographical area for local codes.

Refer to specification 13 34 19 paragraph 1.6.3. MBS outside of Japan must be certified by a licensed engineer in the geographical area where construction will take place. Spec does not disallow for 3rd party verification.

R070 Specs Section 13 34 19 - Metal Building Systems

The bulk of the LEED points for this solicitation are based on the MBS systems being of products extracted, harvested, or recovered, as well as manufactured within a 805 K radius. The goal of LEED silver is unobtainable if the MBS is procured outside of Japan

Refer to specification 01 33 29. The total LEED credits potentially earned is 54 points. When referring to 805 k radius, this is referencing 2 credits for MRc5. With the total points currently at 54, if the regional priority credit cannot be achieved it will reduce the credits down to 52 and still be above 50 points (min. LEED Silver).

R071 Specs Section 13 34 19 - Metal Building Systems
