A9: 29 April 2019 at 1000. Follow the same instructions as identified in the solicitation under section 00100 paragraph 3.2.

Q10: Will you share a list of vendors that attended the walkthrough?

A10: The list was posted on FBO.gov under Pre-Bid Conference meeting sign in sheet.

Q11: It was stated in the prebid and shown on plan FX100 that the HANEL storage unit at the old parachute tower is to have fire suppression installed within it. We installed this unit originally. As I recall, this unit was not manufactured to accept fire suppression within it. This was looked at during the original installation. Due to the operation of the unit and clearances within the unit it is not possible to install fire suppression with the HANEL unit. How is this to be handled?

A11: Pending Q12: On Sheet C100 it states and points to “ABA Compliant Ramps” between the temporary office structures. These are all hashed like they are concrete but don’t state or specify such. Are you wanting all the walks and the ramps into the temporary structures to be poured concrete or can the ramp portion be constructed out of wood and decking material?

A12: See Solicitation Amendment 0001 Q13: On Sheet C101, note 6 states to remove existing underground electric. Are you just wanting the wire removed or are you wanting conduit and all removed?

A13: Remove both conduit and wire.

Q14: On Sheet C101, note 12 states to remove existing underground telecom ductbank and coil cable within existing manhole. Are you wanting the entire ductbank removed or just the wiring? If the entire ductback is to be removed can you clarify if it is encased in concrete?

A14: Ductbank is not encased in concrete and should be two 4” PVC conduits from manhole to building 82. Remove conduits back to within a few feet of the manhole and provide a sealed cap on each duct.

Q15: On Sheet AD101, note 1 states to remove all existing floor finishes. Can you please provide a drawing showing what the existing floor finishes are throughout? I remember seeing some epoxy flooring in the prebid which will be significantly more costly to remove than other flooring materials.

A15: The vast majority of the flooring in building 17 is either carpet or VCT. The main restrooms have ceramic tile and the two smaller restrooms on the western side of the facility has epoxy flooring (approx. 600sf).

Q16: On sheet AD101, note 1 states to remove existing gypsum board partitions, but does not make mention to demo any masonry walls. If I recall correctly from the prebid walkthrough many of the interior walls that are hashed like they are to be removed are actually masonry walls. Are we just to demo the gypsum board walls as noted and leave any masonry walls in place? If masonry walls are to be removed can you please identify which walls are masonry vs gypsum as they will be significantly more costly to demo.

A16: See Solicitation Amendment 0001 Q17: On Sheet AD101, there is a note 7 at the existing comm. room that states the existing room partitions and ceiling are to remain, but there is also a note 14 at the same location that states to build a temporary enclosure. The walls are hashed like they are to be removed. Can you clarify what your intent is here?

A17: See Solicitation Amendment 0001 Q18: On Sheet AD101, note 13 states the existing antennae tower is to be relocated and to refer to the telecom drawings. I am not seeing the existing tower mentioned or the new location shown on the telecom drawings. There is a new tower being installed. Please clarify where the existing tower it to be relocated.

A18: See Solicitation Amendment 0001 Q19: On Sheet AD101, note 15 states to remove the existing LMR console, store and reinstall after demolition. What is this? Can you provide a picture or description of what this is and what will be entailed to remove and reinstall?

A19: Pending Q20: Can you please clarify/detail what is to be done with the Atrium 181 clerestory ceiling? Currently there is some type of metal slated ceiling system in place. The demo drawing AD101 just has a typical note 1 to remove existing ceiling finishes. The architectural finish schedule (Sheet A-601) shows this room to have a gypsum board ceiling but says the height varies. The reflected ceiling plan (Sheet A-114) doesn’t show/state gypsum board or anything for this ceiling. Please advise.

A20: See Solicitation Amendment 0001 Q21: The toilet accessory specification, 2.2, B, 5 lists Sanitary Napkin Receptacle, but the plans do not show any. Are these required?

A21: See Solicitation Amendment 0001 Q22: Can you provide detail for the accessible bench in shower 163 and men 157? Are you wanting a floor mounted pedestal type with a maple wood top?

A22: See Solicitation Amendment 0001 Q23: Please provide a detail of the counter and sink in room 129. Are there base cabinets?

A23: See sheet P-601, Plumbing Fixture Schedule, SK-4.

Q24: There is a specification 40120.64 – Brick Masonry Repointing. Is this just for the note 9 on sheet A-201? I am not seeing any other mention of masonry repointing on the building.

A24: This spec section is for note #9 on A-201 and any similar brick work as necessary on project.

Q25: On sheet A-601, Room Finish Schedule Remarks note 5 states to install wood veneer wainscoting stained to match doors with top mounted trim cap. Can you please detail/spec what you are wanting here? Is this just flat paneling? Are you wanting it picture framed?

A25: See Solicitation Amendment 0001 Q26: In reviewing sheet A-141 it reads as if you are wanting us to hire an engineer to design and provide concrete foundations under the temporary office structures. Is this actually what you are requiring/wanting?

A26: The intent of this note is the temporary facility manufacturer shall have an engineer’s stamped drawing for their facility and the type of foundation and tie downs required.

Q27: Will the owner take care of maintaining the yard/grass around the temporary structures? If not, to what are the requirements?

A27: See Solicitation Amendment 0001 Q28: The current spec is a bit confusing with on section calling for 3/16 inch and another calling for 1/8 inch. There is also called out a undercoat of flexible epoxy which is not standard for the system as well as a novolac topcoat which is not UV stable and will yellow quickly with time. Please clarify what system the Guard is looking for on this project.

A28: See Solicitation Amendment 0002 Q29: Does the project require a quality control and safety representative? Can the site superintendent be one or both roles?

A29: Quality Control and Safety Representative oversight is required but how that is accomplished is up to the contractor. See the specifications for requirements.

Q30: In the pre-bid I thought it was mentioned there were two (2) vault doors scheduled to be removed. In looking at the demolition drawings I am only seeing one vault door (note 27) that is stated to be removed. There is another vault door (note 6 and 20) that states it is to remain. If there is another vault door to be removed can you please clarify where it is located and if the walls and ceiling associated with it are concrete?

A30: See Solicitation Amendment 0002 Q31: Under specification 87100, 1.01, C, 2 it states “final replacement of cores to be installed by the owner.” Is the owner providing the cores or does the contractor provide them and give to the owner for installation?

A31: All Schlage Primus cores and keys shall be provided by the contractor and shall be shipped directly to the owner’s representative. The base will pin the cores and cut the keys as needed and install.

Q32: Spec section 012100 lists two allowances. #1 is for square foot pricing to repair exterior concrete steps #2 is for square foot pricing for exterior masonry tuck pointing. There is no place to enter these allowances on the submittal form and we are already directed to replace the concrete stairs. Please clarify your requirements with regard to providing allowance pricing.

A32: See Solicitation Amendment 0002 Q33: Drawing C-100 has a notation saying “access route shall be provided to new door”. The arrow for the note points to building 51. Are we to install a new door at building 51? If we are to provide access, what kind of access are you requiring and where does the access go to? Please provide more information.

A33: See Solicitation Amendment 0002 Q34: Spec section 102600 indicates that we use a corner guard that has a retainer with a snap on cover and that these are 8’ tall. The material legend sheet A-602 indicates that the corner guard are tape on units that are 4’ tall. Please clarify what you want for corner guards.

A34: Provide 4'-0" high surface mounted mechanically attached corner guard.

Q35: Under Spec. Section 018113.13, Paragraph 1.7 Quality Assurance states we are required to hire a LEED – Accredited professional to coordinate LEED requirements and submit a copy of the LEED Professional Accreditation Certificate. Is this required since the project will not be LEED certified?

A35: Contractor is responsible for providing satisfactory documents of compliance per specifications & drawings (recycled content, etc.). No accredited professional is required.

Q40: The elevation on the lockers show them on Z-base, but the specs call for it only without the bench wall. The specs call for hardwood benches (ADA), but the drawing calls out HDPE for the benches on the knee wall.

A40: See Solicitation Amendment 0002 Q41: Spec 230713 Duct Insulation, 3.9 and 3.10 lay out the indoor duct and plenum insulation and jacket schedules. 3.10 C 1 calls for 20 mils PVC jacket on indoor concealed ducts and plenums.
