5 RFI LOG 11 Will any of the equipment being proposed be tied into the bas system to ensure the maximum efficiency of the building? The controls for the equipment are currently stand alone. 12 Under the specification for the casework it looks like you are looking for Plastic Laminate Casework with Wooden Drawer Bottoms and Plastic Door and Drawer Fronts. Is this correct? 13 Can we go with an all wood cabinet with Plastic Laminate Door and Drawer Fronts and PVC Edge Band? 14 Will you be providing the most current fire alarm drawings for reference only? 15 Will the university allow a power outage during normal working hours at some point in the construction schedule?(7:00am & 3:30PM) No work is anticipated. Existing DDC system to remain operational as-is. Proposed work for controls includes, but is not limited to: connection of existing air compressor to pneumatic control air lines, replacement of existing pneumatic control air dryer, provisions for HVAC terminal units with integral controls (ie. self-contained control valves for radiation, integrated controls for window and split a/c units, stand-alone electronic controls for blower coil units) or connection to existing pneumatic controls for terminal units replaced like-kind. Yes. Alternative case construction will be considered. Detailing and colors of the PVC edgeband will need to be provided prior to any acceptance. Current fire alarm drawings are not available; bid as shown. Any power outage would require advance coordination with University to confirm the following factors, occupancy requirements, minimal-short duration of the outage, and weather (maintaining appropriate temperatures within the building). 16 P101 - Note 8 calls for the saw cutting of the floor. This floor is carpeted. Will this be removed during construction or how should this be addressed? 17 MD101 and MH101 show the hot water in the Laptop Classroom as Demo and as New is it both? 18 Please confirm if risers HWS/R 6 and HWS/R 10 are to be replaced under the alternate bid.

They appear as being removed and replaced with new but there is no schedule. 20 Please clarify that a footer pad is required for the small condensing units shown on MH Please clarify where refrigerant tubing for ACU-A in room 137 is to be routed. The piping shows to be run on the roof but there are (2) floors above this level. Is piping to be routed up to the high roof and then back down to the lower roof and the condensing unit location? Contractor responsible for all cutting, patching and restoration of existing finishes for the performance of their contract. The intent is to replace all of the hot water piping to the fullest extent possible. This is why the risers are scheduled for replacement (as alternate) with some cost prohibitive exceptions (untouched piping in central chases). All HWS and HWR risers are to be replaced under the alternate with the exception of HWS/R 9 and HWS/R 13 as noted. Units to be replaced like-kind. Basis of design: UH-3, Trane model Force-Flo, Semirecessed, 28.4 MBH; UH-4 Trane model Force-Flo, fully-recessed, 27.9 MBH Pad location is a the base of a hill subject to high water saturation. Piers to below frostline are required. Refrigerant piping to rise from this level to roof directly above. Piping to run horizontal above first floor ceiling, combined with lines serving room 144 and rise to roof. 22 Are the original women s dormitory drawings of 1961 available for distribution as listed in the instruction to bidders?

7 RFI LOG 35 The demolition drawing AD 111 seems to have a lot of discrepancies concerning asbestos and non-asbestos materials that need to be addressed. Rooms: 148A - Plaster ceiling - carpet over concrete 148B - Plaster ceiling - carpet over concrete 148C - Plaster with drop ceiling - 12" x 12" floor tile 148E - Plaster ceiling - ceramic floor 148F - Same as 148E 148G - Same as 148E 148H - Same as 148E Are denoted to have asbestos materials in them. As far as I can see no asbestos is present. If you look at each room above I have noted what is present. *There could be 9" x 9" asbestos floor tile under the 12" x 12" but not sure. Classroom 166 has no asbestos shown but it appears that there is 9" X 9" floor tile and mastic under the 12" x 12" floor tile. Rooms & have them denoted with ceiling tile which contains asbestos mastic but all of these rooms have plaster ceilings. These rooms do have carpet over 9" x 9" asbestos floor tile and mastic. Rooms Show no asbestos removal but the carpet in these rooms that is supposed to be removed and replaced is glued to asbestos 9" x 9" floor tile and mastic which will be disturbed if removed. See asbestos / demolition schedule. 36 Rooms: 137, 137A, 144, 144A, 144B & 144C These rooms are supposed to have only ceiling tile with asbestos mastic but these areas have plaster ceiling. They do have carpet which is glued to 9" x 9" floor tile and mastic. The removal of the carpet will disturb the asbestos containing floor tile. See asbestos / demolition schedule. 37 Will the University be using Hill - rom Beds in this facility? Hill-Rom beds were discussed and utilized as a Basis of Design, but final furniture has not been purchased to date. 38 Will the abatement company will do the flash patch and sand/buffing Yes. after removal of old VCT? 39 Does the project require waxing and buffing of the new Johnsonite Tiles after installation? Provide as indicated in the specification. 40 The specs call out a metal standard and supports for adjustable shelves on the interior of the cabinets. If you look at the attached file on page 12, it shows the industry standard of drillings and adjustable, anti-tipping, shelf clips. Would you please let me know if this will be acceptable? Shelf supports are acceptable; please provide metal shelf clips or equivalent durable product. 41 the specs call out for the cabinet locks are to be master keyed to the University System. If this is the case, please clarify what section is to include the locksets, or is our standard 6 pin deadbolt lock acceptable?
