MODIFICATIONS/CLARIFICATIONS TO THE FOLLOWING SPECIFICATIONS

1. Unsatisfactory or excess soil excavated for this project may be disposed of off Nellis AFB or disposed on a Nellis AFB site that will be within 10 miles of the project location. Exact location will be determined by the Contracting Officer’s Rep.

2. Specification 01 45 00.00 10 (Quality Control) Paragraph 3.4.2 second sentence is revised to allow the Quality Control manager in lieu of college degree to possess 10 years of construction experience, with 5 years acting as a Quality Control Manager or equivalent.

3. Please confirm exterior door openings need to be blast rated doors. There appear to be conflicting elements in Specification Section 08 11 13 Steel Doors and Frames. Section 1.1 references ASTM F2247 for Blast Rated Doors, which conflicts with the more specific Section 2.1 and 2.4 which describe standard steel doors and frames. Our current proposal has excluded blast rated door assemblies.

ANSWER: Exterior doors shall comply with AT/FP requirements of UFC 4-010-01. Overhead doors shall comply with UL 325 and requirements of UFC 4-010-01.

4. Please confirm that utilities (power and water) will be available for use without charge by the contractor during construction.

ANSWER: There will no charge for power and water use.

5. Please confirm that the buildings do not need to be ADA Compliant.

ANSWER: Existing buildings 10432 and 10439 are considered “operational” buildings and are not accessible per ABA requirements.

6. Please confirm that spray on fireproofing is not required on this project. It is referenced in the Submittal Log, but not shown on drawing details, and there is no Specification Section for this work effort.

ANSWER: Spray-on fireproofing is not required.

7. Please confirm that the bridge cranes will not require a patented track runway system. While specified, this is in direct conflict with assemblies indicated on the drawings, which show structural steel being used for the crane runway.

ANSWER: Track is to be a structure-supported under-running bridge crane with an under-running 2-ton hoist as depicted in drawings.
