CEUW requirement and it was a struggle to even meet that factor. We ultimately achieved around 117 and 118 after very extended testing. Even after much tweaking of the LW mix design, the lowest we achieved was 113. The concrete supplier that we used on that project, will probably be the same one used on this project, by almost any bidder, and they do not feel this 105 factor is attainable. Please review. b. The supplier is also questioning the minimum cement content listed in Item 2., at 677 pounds/cubic yard for a 3,000 psi mix? Please confirm.2. I’m unclear on the desired locations for use of this lightweight concrete mix. Please clarify : a. The structural floor plans S-102, S-103, S-104 and S-105 all list in Note 4, that the floor slab is 4” total thickness, 4,000 psi concrete, with no mention of a LW mix. b. There are a few sections on S-201 that refer to a 2 ½” LW concrete on 1 ½” decking. c. There are sections on S-302 and S-303 that refer to the 4” total slab thickness, without mention of it being a LW mix.

RESPONSE (BH) : All concrete is normal weight - this will be clarified in the addendum.

RESPONSE (WMF) : See response from J Kaminski (BH). This was addressed as part of Addendum #1 (issued 9/18/15).

00009 HVAC Questions - MP401/MP601 Closed Tom Smith (Scobell Company Inc.)

Drawing MP601 - Piping & Fitting Assembly Schedule : There are several Types of HWS/HWR & CWS/CWR shown in the schedule. Please indicate what thickness the insulation is to be for the above systems. The condensate drain pipe (CD) that is shown on the drawings. What type of pipe is this to be? Is this to be insulated? It is not listed on the Piping & Fitting Assembly Schedule.

Drawing MP401 - Mechanical Piping Enlarged Plans : Please provide pipe sizes for the pipe in the Mechanical Room. Also, where is the 4” HWS/HWR & CWS/CRW going to? It just ends at UH-105.

RESPONSE : From the Boiler Schedule, the Hot Water Temperature is 180 supply and 140 return. Therefore based on the system temperature range indicated on the pipe and fittings assembly schedule, the hot water system will be following the high Temperature Heating Water Supply and Return. Pipe insulation and cover type. Condensate drain piping would follow the drain piping less than 99 degrees. The 4" hws/hwr and cws/cwr piping ends at UH-105 with capped ends. Extend branch connection to unitary equipment.

Under base bid should we believe that cast iron is the basis of design, and the pvc will be a true alternate? Please confirm.

On sheet PL-601-x1, the piping and fitting schedule allows PVC to be used for sanitary piping below ground, or the bottom most floor slab. It is excluded from being used above ground, or the bottom most floor slab. Cast iron is allowed for the sanitary within the building and above the bottom most floor slab. The alternate allows the use of PVC within the building for the sanitary system for both above ground and below ground
