Description

The purpose of this amendment is to revised "Brand Name Only" requirement, replace Specifications Section 08 71 00, Door Hardware, provide Geotechnical Engineering Service Report and respond to additional questions submitted for this project. a. Requirement for locks/cores is revised to now read Best Brand Name or "Equal" will be considered by the Government for this project. b. Specifications Section 08 71 00, Door Hardware, is deleted in its entirety and Specifications Section 08 71 00, Door Hardware, included herein is incorporated into and made a part of the solicitation and any resulting contract. c. Geotechnical Engineering Services Report dated December 16, 2008, is attached and incorporated into and made a part of the solicitation and any resulting contract. d. Geotechnical Engineering Services Report dated February 6, 2009, is attached and incorporated into and made a part of the solicitation and any resulting contract. e. Response to questions received: 1) Please provide specification for Termite Treatment. RESPONSE: Termite Treatment not required. 2) Sheet S311 Detail 6 indicates a caisson cap below, however, a caisson is not indicated on the foundation plan (Sheet S104). Please advise. RESPONSE: Detail 6/S311 is correct. Refer to enlarged plan 1/S104. The cap encompasses the elevator basement area adjacent to the existing structure as indicated in 1/S104. All caissons are marked in enlarged plan 1/S104 as indicated in the general notes sheet symbols. Refer to sections 1/S310 and 1/S311 for cross sections. 3) Are all caissons at stair/elevator and adjacent to existing building at 10 ' depth according to notes #12 S101 and # 14 S104? RESPONSE: For caissons shown on sheet S104 refer to note 12 on the same sheet. Caisson callouts on sheet S104 do not include the top of caisson callout as shown in the general notes sheet symbols due to text congestion on the sheet. For sheet S101, the wording for plan note 12 shall be changed too - "For caissons that have undefined top of caisson elevation as defined in the general notes sheet symbols, top of caisson to be at bottom of existing building foundation. Contractor to coordinate. For bidding purposes, use top of caisson elevation equal to -10'-0." This primarily occurs along grids J and H where the caisson cap is located. Top of caisson elevations south of grid H are provided in the callout. 4) Alternate # 4 indicates to delete the third floor construction in its entirety. Does this mean structure and finishes or just finishes? RESPONSE: Yes the third floor construction will be deleted in its entirety under alternate #4 including both structure and finishes. If this alternate is executed, drawing A301 detail C1 will now be called Roof at 3rd floor level. Detail C3 will now be called 2nd floor Equipment Room where by the elevator equipment room will now be at the second floor level. On drawing A121 the Elevator Lobby will now be an Elevator Equipment Room with the same finishes as the elevator equipment room. Door 202 will be maintained for access from the roof to the elevator equipment room. All work in Corridor 2S-01 shall be eliminated. 5) Alternate # 3 Item 1b states that "regular doors, door frames and hardware shall be provided in lieu of special " What is meant by "special". RESPONSE: Hardware groups 170 and 171 require a special door and frame. The frame is a cased opening with a retractable door stop. The door has pivot sets and will require rounded edges so that it can swing both ways. The edge of the door will have a recess on three sides for sight proofing so sound and visual privacy can be maintained in the room. If this bid alt is executed then these special door, frames and hardware will not be required. 6) S310 shows 'new concrete pilasters', plan does not show. Please provide size, reinforcing etc. RESPONSE: Refer to foundation plans 1/S101 and 1/S104. Pilasters are square or rectangular and are shown dashed. 7) Where is the concrete column schedule shown? RESPONSE: The concrete pilasters are shown on the foundation plans on sheets 1/S101 and 1/S104. There are detail references on these plans that take you to the typical section where dimensions and reinforcing are called out. f. No further questions will be accepted for this project. Date and time for receipt of offers remains August 11, 2009 at 10:00 A.M. Local Time. IF A POTENTIAL OFFEROR CANNOT DOWNLOAD THE ATTACHMENTS FROM FEDBIZOPPS, SEND AN EMAIL TO CAROLYN.LEE3@VA.GOV AND THE ATTACHMENTS WILL BE FORWARDED VIA EMAIL TO EACH REQUESTOR.
