2 Questions #1 - #3 To provide the correct insurance coverage for the project, the carrier has asked the following: 1. Question: Verify the project site is in the county and if so, which fire department specifically will respond? Response: The project site is in the county and the City of Seguin will respond. 2. Question: Are there fire hydrants in the vicinity and if so where in proximity to the site? Response: The fire hydrant locations are specified in the plan sheet on page 3 of 10 and on page 4 of Question: If there are no hydrants, is there a water service that is accessible to the fire department for this purpose? Response: N/A 4. Question: Sheet A5.1 Note #7 calls for tile wainscot to be 12x12 with 6 base and Bullnose but the elevations show 6x6 everywhere. Which one do they want? Response: 12 x 12 size 5. Addendum #1 Question: Provide a material allowance for ceramic tiles, solid surface tops and backsplashes. Addendum #1 Response: Ceramic tile wainscot -$3.00/s.f.(material only)- is there an allowance for the ceramic floor tile? See next question below. Question: Is there an allowance for the ceramic floor tile? Addendum #1 Question: Please refer to plan sheet A5.1, Finish schedule notes #1-3. Denoted finishes need to be clarified. Need group for ceramic tile material and confirmation of standard colors for stained concrete and epoxy floor coating. Addendum #1 Response: Ceramic Tile- Floor tile: Group IV, wall tile: Group II. Question: There is no group #4 floor tile that will be in the $3.00 allowance, also there is not a 6x12 trim piece available in standard semi-gloss tile from Dal-Tile Response: Ceramic tile flooring Group I, allowance $2.70/s.f., Approved supplier/manufacturer: 1) Dal-Tile, San Antonio: Jonathan Hinrichs ( ) or 2) approved equivalent. 6. Question: The response to questions 1 and 5 (Addendum#1) are inadequate for competitive bidding purposed. Does the County want a standing seam roof or a screw down roof? If they want standing seam, what type? There are multiple options for panel type. If they want a screw roof, what type? There are multiple options for panel type. What type of corrugated siding does the County want? There are multiple options. The prices for these options are not the same. The response directs me to contract Mueller Building. Mueller Building has not yet received any direction from the county or architect as to what specifications are wanted. In order to bid competitively on this project, all bidders must have the basis of design for these items. Response: Roof: Standing Seam Metal Roof, AllianceSeam 24 Panel, Valspar, Fluropon PVDF-Coil Coating System, color to be determined, Walls: Corrugated metal wall panel, ABT-32 Panel, Valspar, Fluropon PVDF-Coil Coating System, color to be determined.

3 Alternates: Roof: Corrugated wall panel, PBR Panel; Walls: Corrugated wall panel, PBR panel; Finish at roof and walls: Valspar, WeatherX Coil Coating System; Anchor bolts to be provided by general contractor, not by pre-engineered metal building company. See specifications and product information provided by Alliance Metal Building Systems. Approved pre-engineered metal building companies: 1) Alliance Metal Building Systems (Michael Ledesma, , ext 533), 2) Butler: Southwest Region, 3) Nucor Building Systems, 4) Capco Steel, Inc (David Bunney, , ext. 111), 5) approved equivalent See attached documents. 7. Question: The elevations show what appears to be s sectional type door with a full glazed panel in the middle, however the description is written around a heavy duty coiling type door. Which type is required? If coiling? They are not available with the full glass area like a sectional panel door, they can be fitted with groups of small vision lights that are 1 5/8 tall and 10 wide that when arranged in groups can give somewhat the same effect. Will groups of vision lights be required? If so, indicate quantity and pattern. Finish the industry standard factory finishes are typically Gray, White, Tan and sometimes Brown. Is that acceptable? Optional powder coat in 180 colors is also available for an upcharge. Cornell is approved for the roll down in the training room. Is Cornell acceptable for the bay doors as well (they would be a different model of course) it would meet the same requirement of the brand specified Response: Coiling door with vision lites, minimum size of lites to be 12 tall x 10 wide. Factory finish, color to be white or gray, provide submittal/sample for final approval by architect and owner. Approved supplier/manufacturer: 1) Cornell, 2) approved equivalent. 8. Question: The request for bid item 13 states to provide subcontractors and suppliers for the work and to include information on the subcontractors experience and qualifications. This is an extremely difficult requirement to achieve at bid time. We receive bid proposals up to bid time and do not always know the subcontractors bidding or which we will be using. We recently completed a project bid with similar requirements and provided a list of subcontractor/supplies with their qualifications two days after bid. This allows time to record all bids, request qualifications and provide quality information. Would it be possible to provide a list and qualifications post bid? Response: Yes, the contractor will be able to provide a list post bid. It will be the Contractor s responsibility to provide a complete list of subcontractors/suppliers for the work and to include information on the subcontractors experience and qualifications no later than 10:00 am on Tuesday, December 23, All information must be submitted to the Auditor s office located at 307 W Court Street, Seguin TX There is not a plan holders list.
