Q: Where can I locate a signage schedule for this project?
R: Signage quantities are indicated In Specification Section 10 14 00; Paragraph 3.03A & B.
Q. Could you help me with clarifying the type of fume hood they are looking for in Dental Lab 158 and 162? I found the spec for them but they don’t list any manufacturers and this seems more like a kitchen exhaust fan that a true fume hood.
R: The hood specified is an exhaust hood and not a fume hood. Provide an exhaust hood as specified.
Q. Please find the attached letterhead, substitution request form, submittal drawings from the completed Performing Arts Center project & a company brochure. GSI seeks approval as a qualified supplier of signage for the Zion Medical Clinic Renovations project. We would manufacture ADA compliant panels utilizing VistaSystems anodized aluminum extruded curved face frames that would be mounted to a backer material by GSI. This substitution would cause no change in schedule or require redesign to other portions of this project.
R: We will not be accepting any substitution on the signage specs as provided in the Bid documents.

CONTRACTOR QUESTIONS AND FORMAL RESPONSES
Question 1: The fuse Marker paint (P6) is called out in room 100 Multi-Purpose; it is on the North wall. One note reads marker board wall paint install floor to ceiling. On the room schedule the north wall is calling for p1/p6 which is an indication that there is PA (eggshell) sw6149 Relaxed Khaki and PF (fuse) on the north wall. On the interior elevations it does not show where the marker board will go. The north wall is approximately 52lf and the height is 8’. If the marker board is to be on the entire wall minus the door and frame, what about the side walls. Need a clarification about the extent of the marker board in that room.
Response 1: The drawings correctly indicate the intent. The Fuse Marker paint (P6) shall be installed on North wall from inside edge of drywall "bump outs" (Reference Lines E6/D6) at Door
100.3 from floor to ceiling to Northwest (Reference Lines F6) and Northeast (Reference Lines C6) corners of the room. The Drywall Bump Out at the exterior door opening gets painted with P1 Eggshell - Color PA.
Question 2: Will we be required to submit Certified Payroll verification for payout requests?
Response 2: Yes. Refer to Specification Section 00 72 00 - General & Supplementary Conditions attachment; Paragraph 7 - Applications for Payment.
Question 3: Per A310- Is a rail required @ (1) side only @ pedestrian walk near 6/C? None required @ bldg side? ( Note 5.091 reads “...do not anchor into face of existing masonry wall.”
Response 3: An interior side hand rail is required to be installed on the interior side of the ramp and shall be fastened into the existing masonry wall. General Contractor shall coordinate fastening points into the masonry surfaces. Refer to revised Sheet A310 for more information. The guardrail that has keynote 5.091 on Detail 1/A310 shall NOT be anchored into the masonry wall. The entire guardrail assembly shall be cored into the concrete walkway as keynoted.
Question 4: Are any rails required elsewhere? ie: @ interior/ exterior stairs @ south end of bldg. near 1/C?
Response 4: No.
Question 5: Per A910- Dtl’s 3 & 5 indicate 2 1/2” sq. tubes @ 42” o.c. Can you provide quantity? I’m having difficulty locating/ determining.
Response 5: The tubes are only to be installed inside the half wall between the intake windows in Room 120 - Reception at the east side of the room. Only one location for the tubes exist. Two total tubes are required at each end of the half wall for lateral stability of the casework assembly.
Question 6: Per A800 & corresponding dtl’s on A820- (15) doors are indicated to have steel lintels per dtl’s 6 & 14/ A820, but are the beams per S320 meant to be acting as lintels?
Response 6: No new steel is placed directly above door head. Steel beams on S320 are acting as the lintels to span over the openings. These will be erected tight to the underside of the precast as detailed on the structural drawings and as shown in added detail 15/A820. Detail 6/A820 has been revised to indicate that the masonry and lintel over the head of the new door frame are for existing masonry openings that already have lintels above former door opening scheduled to be reused. The existing steel lintel and masonry are existing to remain in place in the reused
opening. Detail 15/A820 has been added and correctly keyed into the updated Door, Frame, & Hardware Schedule on Sheet A800 for new opening locations. Added detail 15 indicates that no lintel or masonry is needed immediately above the new door frame at the HEAD locations as scheduled. The interstitial space above the new door frames to the steel supporting the existing precast roof planking shall be infilled with drywall and insulation as shown in new detail 15/A820.
Question 7: And, lintels @ most of the doors where no beam is shown, ie: 101, 104, 106, 116, 142, 145, 147, 166 & 173(.1), & 166 & 173(.2), are indicated as existing per S320, – no new lintels required?
Response 7: No steel placed directly above door head. Steel beams on S320 are acting as the lintels to span over the openings. These will be erected tight to the underside of the precast as detailed on the structural drawings. Refer to response # 6 above and refer to revised Door, Frame, & Hardware Schedule on Sheet A800.
Question 8: Can you provide width of G1z interior partitions? & just to verify, no bottom plates are required on B1/ B2 beams per S320?
Response 8: The G1z wall assembly is 1-5/8" Mtl. Studs & 5/8" Gypsum Board for a total of 2-1/4" however the studs shall be installed 1/4" off the face of the exterior wall for the 2-1/2" dimension indicated on the G1z wall type. No bottom plates required.
Question 9: Also per S320- width of brg. plates is given as 7” typical for B1 / B2 beams but width of beams is 7.995” & 10” respectively so those won’t work. Revise?
Response 9: Provide bearing plates as noted on the drawings
Question 10: Also, FYI- Plan on giving add for the (8) extra beams indicated per S320 beam & plan on figuring all beams except ones connecting to columns furnished only schedule, to be set by mason. We’ll then come back & weld to bearing plates
