40. Question 26 did not get fully answered. Where is detail 9/A5.2 called for on the drawings? I can't figure out where this detail occurs on the building.

40. Answer: Detail 1/A4.1 ABI#1 includes a reference to the Roof Detail 3/A5.1 ABI#1 which is incorrect.

This detail reference shall be changed to detail 9/A5.2

41. Note 5 on sheet S1.4 tells us that existing walkway roof framing is to be removed and replaced. New framing is to be attached to the existing structure in a similar manner to existing or current attachment.

Response 20c clarifies that if ABI#1 is accepted we are to provide new roof trusses and soffets at existing exterior walkways and stairs

Responses 33 & 34 refers us to the "building reference drawings" for details of new work associated with the cladding the new roof trusses and soffets at exterior walkways and stairs.

These directives indicate that the existing construction is to be removed and replaced with new roof trusses and cladded using the same details from the original design.

However, the "building reference drawings" provided show steel roof purlins, not trusses in these locations.

Reference the following sheets from the "building reference drawings" S2.3, S4.2, A6.2.

It is not possible to remove steel roof purlins, replace them with light gauge trusses and attach them in a similar manner using the same cladding details.

Please clarify further.
