Bid Questions

Question	In the panel specification 07412, McElroy Metals is named, but the spec also says to use 032 aluminum. McElroy does not do aluminum only steel. Therefore, can we use another Manufacturer’s system such as Petersen Aluminum?
Answer	Peterson Aluminum is an acceptable alternative manufacturer.

Question	An answer to a previous question was not clarified in the boring report. Please confirm that if improvements to the building foundation subgrade are required such as undercutting that this will be a changed condition and be paid via change order. The boring report referred to a chance of undercutting being required.
Answer	The bid shall be based on the contract documents and subsurface information available, i.e. the boring logs. If it is determined that there is work that is outside of the contract, then a change order will be considered.

Question

A significant portion / area of the existing asphalt drive will be removed in order to install the underground utilities on this project yet there is not a note nor a standard detail directing the contractor to replace the asphalt. When excavation for the new generator is included a significant portion of the site will be damaged. Is it possible to show the limits of asphalt restoration? Additionally, because so much of the area will be disturbed, would the City prefer to have the trenches repaired and then the drive area overlayed?

If overlaying is to be considered, will the remaining asphalt need to be milled?

Drawing C-5 Utility plan depicts “Asphalt” with only a small strip of asphalt shown in front of the new building entryway. Limiting new asphalt to only this small strip does not address the considerable amount of asphalt that will be demolished during this project. Can a drawing be provided that depicts the limits of asphalt removal and subsequent replacement?

Answer

Use City’s Standard detail ST-2.0 for trench patching. Additionally, a complete 1.5" mill and overlay for the complete asphalt section will be required when construction has been completed.

Question	We previously asked if a Geotech report was available, if a report is not available can you provide the information for the boring that is shown on C-3? This would help in determining what type of shoring or underpinning will be required for the existing building while we install the proposed 16” Effluent pipe
Answer	Boring Report provided.

Question	Since no Geotechnical report has been provided with subsurface recommendations, can you please confirm that if improvements to the building foundation subgrade are required such as undercutting or piles this will be a change order to the contract?
Answer	Boring Report provided.

Question	Reference detail 4/M-4 for the exhaust fan calls out note 3 and 4 but these notes are not provided in the detail. Please provide these notes.
Answer	The specific keynote boxes are misnumbered. Note #1 "FRAME AND PLATE SHALL BE HOT DIP GALVANIZED AFTER FABRICATION." applies to the steel frame with the "3" keynote. Note #2, "ALL DAMPERS SHALL MATCH IN NOMINAL SIZE WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE LOUVERS UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED ON THE CONTRACT DRAWINGS. WHERE MULTIPLE FANS SHARE A LOUVER, THE BACKDRAFT DAMPERS SHALL BE PARTITIONED FOR EACH RESPECTIVE FAN. SEAL AS REQUIRED." applies to the backdraft damper with the "4" keynote.

Question	Spec section 10213, Fixed Louvers shows 4” depth but the louver schedule on drawing A-7 shows 6” depth. Please clarify which depth is required.
Answer	Louvers shall be 6" depth per louver schedule and louver detail 4/A-7.

Submitted	11/8/2022 04:02:27 PM (ET)

Question	Please confirm if a pre-charged line set is acceptable for the split system units.
