20. Questions pertaining to the roof on the walkway between the buildings and the stairs on the West end (see attached drawing)

a. AD5.1 note 17 says to demo the standing seam metal roof and trim in these areas. A2.1 points this same roof out as "to remain" and A5.1 points at the center area roof as "to remain". Please clarify which is correct.

23. Answer: Use exterior gypsum board sheathing

24. There is a note at the bottom right of A7.2 that reads At Interior base edges: Schluter-dilex-eke profile, Finish as approved. My confusions lies in that the base for the floor product is coved.

35. Answer: This communication piping will be intercepted and re-routed to accommodate the new door opening. See Note F on IT2.1 and Detail A1 on IT4.1

36. In Section 00010, Item 3 is for Communications. Are you asking for the price for communications separate from the base bid?

36. Answer: YES. However this will be evaluated along with base bid. Only ABI for roof will be additive.

37. In Section 00010, item 4 Contractor Manpower Reporting. Are we suppose to fill anything in here? If so, please clarify what you are looking for?

37. Answer: Instructions in line item 0004 specifically state that you will report manpower through the ECMRA. If you charge for this service, then include on your bid. Once again, this is not an ABI and will part of base bid evaluation.

38. In Section 00010, 12, (d) mentions ORCA website. I believe this website is no longer used. Is this the information in SAM?

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.

41. Answer: this response overrides all previous bid question responses related to this question

Base Bid: the existing standing seam metal roof shall remain ABI #1: demolish the existing standing seam metal roof & insulation. Install new 1½” batt insulation, new HT underlayment and new standing seam metal roof. The existing purlins shall remain.
