Z2DZ--Renovation for Welcome Center

36C24623B0061 Renovation of Welcome Center Amendment 0004 - Responses to Follow-Up Vendor Questions (NOTE: Question Numbering continued from Amendment 0002) There was not a geotechnical report included in the bid documents for review but is indicated to be available per Sheet S0.01 Note 4.1. Response: Please refer to the Final Geotechnical Report attached to this Amendment. Referencing Specification Section 31 20 11, paragraph 1.4.a indicates that this site is considered an UNCLASSIFED. However, in paragraph 3.2.E indicates when unsuitable material is encountered and removed, the contract price and time will be adjusted in accordance with Articles, DIFFERING SITE CONDITIONS, CHANGES and CHANGES-SUPPLEMENT of the GENERAL CONDITIONS as applicable. Adjustments to be based on meters (yardage) in cut section only. Please clarify the classification of the site. Response: The site is considered to be UNCLASSIFIED. Any unsuitable material that is encountered and removed will be addressed using the Differing Site Conditions and Changes Clauses after contract award. There is some confusion regarding the definitions for DG-1 and GL-1. DG-1 is defined on the Material Schedule (AF600) as part of the wall cladding (Forms + Surfaces Level E Wall Cladding Capture Panel); however, details 11 & 12 on AE211 use GL-1 to refer to the lightplane panels used at the Level E Wall Cladding Capture Panel. Response: Revise DG-1 to GL-1 at all locations. GL-1 is also used for Reception B65 (9/AE211), but the cross-section for this (6/AE551) states finish____ for this panel. That same cross-section (6/AE551) is used on 4/AE411 where the panel there is called out as DG-1. GL-1 is found nowhere else in the specifications or plans in order to know what this is. Response: Revise DG-1 to GL-1 at all locations.  At 6/AE551, revise Finish______ to GL-1.  Additionally, DG-1 is used on the casework at Lobby B60W (1/AE211) and ROI Check-In B67A (4/AE411). Response: Revise DG-1 to GL-1 at all locations. The definition for DG-1 per the material schedule makes it seem incompatible with the casework since it is a component of the Level E Wall Cladding Capture Panel. Response: Revise DG-1 to GL-1 at all locations. DG-1 is a sheet of glass that can be used with the Level-E wall cladding system (backlit at elevator lobbies) or without (at reception desks). DG-2 appears to be used on at B73 (on location between desks, and another between B73 and B60W Lobby per 1/AE412 and subsequent details all aligning). Can you provide clarity on the definitions and uses for DG-1, DG-2, and GL-1? Response: Revise DG-1 to GL-1 at all locations. DG-2 is a separate product entirely see Specification Section 08 81 00.

Renovate a portion of the existing basement A-wing at the Fayetteville VA Medical Center for a new VAMC Welcome Center and Patient Support area. The area to be renovated includes part of the old Dental Area, the elevator lobby, the basement stairway and the main corridor. The area will be renovated to be the new entrance into the Medical Center, and it will include a Welcome Center area, patient advocate space, VSO’s, Volunteers Health Benefits and other support services for all patients coming into the facility. Demolition of the entire area is required and will remove all existing utilities that serve the project area. Existing utilities throughout the space that serve adjacent spaces will need to remain in operation or require temporary services during outages. Some building exterior renovations will be required as well as the construction of additional mechanical room to house the new air handling unit and equipment for this space as well as one existing unit already in place at the Northeast corner of the building exterior. This addition has been designed to achieve SHPO and physical security requirements.

36C24623B0061 Renovation of Welcome Center Amendment 0002 - Responses to Follow-Up Vendor Questions (NOTE: Question Numbering continued from Amendment 0001) Follow up on Response for Questions 6 and 7 from Amendment 0001: Question #7 response states that 2 full time Supervisors are not allowed to serve the roles of Superintendent, SSHO, and QCM which would imply the project requires (3) full time people on site. If this is the intent, please make this clear so that all bidders include this cost as it is a significant amount to add a person to the staff full time for the duration of the project. Response: Site Superintendent can also be the Quality Control Manager, but the SSHO shall only have that one duty. If someone is a site superintendent whose qualifications meet requirements to be a SSHO, this would be acceptable for the SSHO position. Follow up on the response to Question 16 from Amendment 0001: The full hazmat report lists 512 SF of transite cement behind 32 radiators, but the table in the specifications is listing 256 SF at 32 radiators. Please confirm the amount we should figure for pricing. Response: Use 512 square feet quantity. Also, the full hazmat report lists approximately 680 LF of pipe insulation at exterior walls. Has this material already been removed or are we figuring this as well? Response: This has not been removed and is included in this project to be removed. Please confirm that the Flow Control Device shown on Detail 4 of P-002 is needed for the hot water recirculation line. Response: A flow control device should be anticipated for the hot water recirculation system. Also, for this project, assume one is currently installed balancing the system and an additional one is needed. Follow up on the response to Question 13 from Amendment 0001: Is it possible to get an approximate routing distance to the switchboard from the work area? Response: The switchboard referenced in Question 13 is located in Building #44. Building #44 is shown on the Electrical Partial Site Plan (EP-1-B-02) where the approximate routing distance can be determined by bidders. Follow up on the response to Question 14 from Amendment 0001: Thank you for confirming all interior partitions are to be addressed as key note DE1 [unless noted otherwise]. Assuming key note DE28 is to be addressed as shown on the drawings at the exterior walls, please confirm that we should figure that none of these metal studs at the exterior wall are structurally significant to the brick. Response: Metal Studs at the exterior wall are not Structurally Significant to the exterior wall system. For the response to Question 14 from Amendment 0001, we are confused as to why Brick was mentioned in the response. We want to make sure the demo of the exterior Metal Stud wall and finishes is only referring to demo of the furred-out section of the exterior wall and not the actual Metal framing that is between the exterior windows that may have exterior sheathing and brick ties tied to it. The demo drawings appear to show a wall directly in front of the exterior wall which we assume to be metal stud furring. Response: Interior furring is to be removed in its entirety. See the response to Question 29 above. Existing wall construction is a multi wythe brick, or stone wall system. Approximately sixty percent of the walls to be demolished must be assumed to be constructed of masonry floor to deck with metal stud/gypsum firring.

36C24623B0061 Renovation of Welcome Center Amendment 0001 - Responses to Vendor Questions The solicitation states that the bid package must include Attachment A(Base Bid Cost Breakdown Worksheet). Please Provide. Response: The requirement for submitting Attachment A (Base Bid Cost Breakdown Worksheet) is hereby removed from the Instructions to Offerors. It is not required. We ask that electronic delivery of bids be accepted in lieu of hand delivery as currently indicated in the Solicitation. Electronic delivery is the typical process used on other VA projects which eliminates unnecessary travel costs for GC s and helps eliminate mistakes in proposals due to last minute price changes which are common. Other unknown factors such as cell phone service and traffic conditions may also have a negative impact on hand delivery. If electronic delivery is not acceptable can the bids be delivered to the VA where the project is being completed in lieu of Virginia. Response: There is no change to the Instructions to Offerors regarding delivery of bids or the bid opening. Upon review of the specs and drawings, what is the integral base height for the Resinous/Epoxy Flooring to be installed in room B86? Response: Height is to be 4 AFF. Floor type is to be Sherwin Williams Topfloor MER 1, Color: Steel Gray (54). Drawing T-003 states in Bullet 12: Cat 6A jacks shall be the same manufacturer as the patch panels. Jack colors shall be black in telecommunications rooms and white at the end user. And Bullet 15 states: Utilize angled 48 port modular (Leviton quickport preferred) patch panels and label them A 1-48, B 1-48, C 1-48, etc. Who provides the Angled Cat 6A patch panels? Response: CAT 6A patch panels to be provided by the Construction Contractor. Is there a need for a rack or relay rack of any sort for the patch panels? Response: The Construction Contractor shall provide the following for this project: (1) 4-POST TELECOMMUNICATIONS 45RU CHANNEL RACK (1) 2RU FIBER ENCLOSURE. (1) ZONE POWER DISTRIBUTION UNIT: ZPDU. (2) VERTICAL RACK POWER DISTRIBUTION UNIT (RPDU): (1) RACK MOUNTED 5KW UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLY (UPS) This will require delegated design by the contractor for site layout and installation. The location for the new rack shall be determined by the VA, but shall be in the basement of either A or B-Wing area. Specification 013526, Article 1.7.C states that, the SSHO has to be a separate qualified individual from the Contractor s Superintendent and/or Quality Control Manager . Can the prime contractor s Site Superintendent fulfill the role of the SSHO, so long as they are qualified and can successfully fulfill the outlined requirements for both positions? Response: The SSHO shall be a separate person and cannot be the site superintendent. If the Superintendent cannot also fulfill the SSHO position, can two supervisors fulfill the roles of Site Superintendent, SSHO, and CQC System Manager positions? Response: No. Where may laydown/storage areas be available? Is there a preferred location for the dumpster as well as a construction compound? Response: Refer to drawing CS101 that indicates area the VA facility can guarantee to be turned over to the GC after award. Any additional required space needed by the construction contractor for laydown and mobilization space will be discussed and approved per a contractor submitted mobilization plan. For purposes of pre-bid the facility has some areas more remote to utilize for mobilization. If space available on this station is not adequate for the contractor, the contractor must find additional space off site and at no additional cost to the government. Is temporary power available for a Construction Trailer at the laydown/storage area? Response: The project area will have power available, but the VA will not guarantee its sufficient or adequate for all the contractors needs. The VA will provide any available power at no additional cost. This power must be metered by the contractor for any available power. The VA cannot guarantee temporary power available at any other ares on this facility. For these locations the contactor must coordinate with local power company to have temporary power fee installed at the contractors expense. During the site walk, it was noticed that there is suspected ACM at the pipe insulation in the crawlspace where pipe is scheduled for demolition. However, this material was not called out on Specification page 02 82 11-3, of the asbestos abatement scope. Can the full environmental report be provided to confirm that this area is clear of ACMs? Response: See attached Asbestos & HazMat Summary April 2021 and Crawlspace Asbestos & HazMat Summary September 2022. Please confirm all tele-data cabling, existing and new, is coming from same room, B16. Response: The VA cannot guarantee all existing cabling comes from Room B16 but will agree all are terminated in a location on average within this distance from the project area. All new are planned to be routed from and terminate inside Room B16. PP identified as push pads, shown on EP-B-01 on the south side rooms, are these to be stubbed above the accessible ceiling with a connection to a local door operator or back to a specific room for global control? Are they to have an individual power feed? None shown. Response: For doors B36, B37 and B38, push pads provide local control. Provide 120V connection for automatic doors utilizing circuit FB-31. Coordinate exact location and power requirements with the contractors installer. Is it possible to get a floor plan for building 44 for the purpose of locating the existing switchboard 44-CDP, it was not part of the walk through. Response: No floor plans are available for this pre-fabricated electrical utility shed. See two photographs attached with this response. From the plan view on AD101, it appears that all of the interior partitions to be demolished are non-load bearing. Please clarify the construction of these partitions. Are we to assume these are drywall over metal stud, as in keyed note DE1? Response: As stated in key note DE1, REMOVE PORTION OF METAL STUD AND GYP BD PARTITION INCLUDING BATT AND/OR SPRAY FOAM INSULATION. SEE PLAN FOR WORK IN THIS AREA. . Partitions to be removed are Metal Stud and GYP BD. Exterior brick wall is to remain as shown on drawings.
