Question: The plans showing the phasing looks like its showing a few different types of flooring materials. Is this the case or is all flooring the same epoxy Sonhard Stonblend GSI? Also, can you please confirm if this job is to be prevailing wage? ------------------------- Response: Currently, there is existing VCT tiles throughout the area of work on the Ground Floor, as shown on provided drawing. These VCT tiles are standard tiles throughout, with the exception of the GC area which is not included in project scope. The hatching pattern used in provided drawing only denotes the different phases, NOT the type of flooring. Project scope is to demo the existing VCT tiles, and use Asbestos Abatement and monitoring procedures to remove tiles and mastic, including construction barriers, partitions,etc as called for in the scope of work. Following demo and abatement, contractor is to install new epoxy flooring, preferably Stonhard Stonblend GSI, since area GC of the Ground Floor has this specific type of Stonhard Stonblend GSI flooring. It is ideal to have this flooring throughout the Ground Floor, to maintain continuity and durability. Scope of work also demands that access to the GF areas be available at all times, as these areas are critical to the daily operations of the James. J. Peters VA Medical Center. Contractor may provide appropriate recommendations in successful phasing of abatement and application of epoxy flooring, to ensure smooth transition to next phase, once each phase is completed. To confirm, this project will be awarded using prevailing wages. Interested sellers can continue to schedule site visits by email. The latest a site visit can occur is July 23 at 4:00pm.
