Q3: PLEASE CONFIRM BID DUE DATE AND TIME, AND WHAT TIME TO MEET IN THE VISITOR PARKING LOT

A3: Bid due date and time can be found in the solicitation document. If you are planning on attending the bid opening, please be in the small parking lot outside the front gate no later than 8:50am CST. We will be escorting contractors in at precisely 8:45am.

Q4: PLEASE CONFIRM ROOM DIMENSIONS FOR WANSCOTTING FOR SHEETS A.5, A.7, A.9, A.10 FOR BIDDING PURPOSES

A4: Measuring and verifying is the responsibility of the contractor, especially with regard to the wainscot, because of the way that the panels have to be balanced for symmetry. The overall dimensions UNVERIFIED and scaled from drawings without allowances for doorways is 19’-6” x 26’-6”.

Q5: PLEASE CONFIRM CONTRACTOR ACCESS PLAN, PER THE WALK THRU IT WAS NOTED TO BE CHANGED FROM THE CONTRACT PLANS

A5: There is no change of “Access Plan.” Perhaps there was misunderstanding. The plans (T1, A1, A2) are clear about staging area and project entry access.

Q6: PLEASE PROVIDE WORK HOURS FOR THIS PROJECT AND IF THERE IS ANY "NOISY WORK" TO BE CONSIDERED OFF HOURS

A6: Right now the work hours will normally be 7:30 – 4:00 Monday through Friday except Holidays or special situations that may arise. However; these will be discussed at the preconstruction conference and agreed to by consensus. The building occupants have been briefed (on more-than one occasion) about the noisy\messy nature of our work. We will work with the contractor toward schedule fluctuations that benefit all parties and make the most efficient progress.
