003 Perkins Eastman 11/2/18 SMC 13 Firestop Incorporated 1 11/1/18 There is a discrepancy between the FP Drawings and

Specifications with regard to classifications of areas.

Academic Areas are indicated as "light hazard" and Mechanical

Areas are indicated as "ordinary hazard". The spec further

identifies areas as ordinary hazard 1 and 2. The differences

between the two double the gallons per minute required for

light hazards. Is the .2 FPM over 3,000sf necessary? The water

pressure coming into the schools is already low and there is no

fire pump. There is a concern meeting the requirements

especially in the Gym and Library.

004 Perkins Eastman 11/2/18 SMC 9B & 9D M. Frank Higgins 1 11/2/18 The specs reference the finishes selected on the plans but the

013 Rizzo 11/14/18 SMC 15 MJ Daly 1 11/12/18 Spec section 00 41 26 is the proposal form, however there are

three sets of proposal forms (single package, combo bids within

1 school, combo bids for both schools). Since we will be doing all

three, did you want us to provide three separate submissions

per proposal form type, including all the paper work being asked

for in triplicate, all separately? If yes, would the individual bid

bonds suffice for the combo proposals, or are you looking for a

multitude of combo-bid bid-bonds as well?

Bid Form "A" gets all the required Alternates,

Unit Prices and attachments, all in triplicate.

The attachments to Bid Form "A" are

applicable to Bid Forms "A-1" and "A-2" so

duplication is not required. Just submit Forms

"A-1" and "A-2" in triplicate with no other

attachments. With regard to Bid Bonds, submit

a single bid bond with a cover letter from the

Surety indicating the bond is also applicable to

the bids submitted on Forms "A-1" and "A-2".

done work in the recent past together, are we already

prequalified?

015 Perkins Eastman 11/14/18 SMC 5 Nova Wood Products 1 11/12/18 Interior Finish Schedule IN-601 says PL-2 is for FACULTY

MILLWORK and PL-3 is for CLASSROOM MILLWORK. The

elevation titles identify the type of millwork. Which laminate

colour is required at the elevations designated as OFFICE (e.g. A-

213/25)? Are office & faculty intended to have the same finish?

Office millwork shall have pl-2. 11/16/18 4

016 Perkins Eastman 11/14/18 SMC 5 Nova Wood Products 2 11/12/18 Plan view of the casework in 105 OT/PT shows the tall cabinet

on the left and the sink on the right. The elevation tag says “A-

213/16 Sim” (see A101a/1). The actual elevation on A-213 has

the tall cabinet on the right and the sink on the left. Are we

correct in assuming the plan view is accurate and the elevation

tag should say Opp. Instead of Sim.?

Yes. Tag should read Opp. 11/25/18 2

017 Perkins Eastman 11/14/18 SMC 5 Nova Wood Products 3 11/12/18 Enlarged plan view of the 101 Admin Suite shows a low wall &

gate adjacent to the reception desk (see A-401/2). Neither the

wall nor the gate is shown in elevation A-213/8 and there are no

section tags on the floor plan. Is there any millwork required at

the low wall or gate?

Provide swing gate and low wall at height to

match adjacent millwork. Provide spring

loaded closer and cabinet latch on office side.

something inside 101g Admin Coat Closet. No elevation tag or

section tag is provided. There are no section details for a coat

closet with the millwork details on A-551 through A-553. There

are no specifications for coat closet millwork or hardware in

section 06 40 23. Is millwork required in this closet?

Provide 12” deep shelf with PL-2 and coat rod

with appropriate hardware.

11/25/18 2

019 Perkins Eastman 11/14/18 SMC 5 Nova Wood Products 5 11/12/18 Please clarify what is required at the staff mailboxes. In elevation

A-213/13 they appear to be standard mail slots in an open

cabinet, presumably plastic laminate to match the rest of the

casework. Section detail A-551/4 has no notes to identify the

finishes at the mail slots, but it shows a back panel that appears

to match the rest of the casework, top & bottom panels and

shelves that are a different material, and no sides or gables at

all. The hatch pattern used at the top, bottom & shelves appears

to indicate wood of some kind (solid lumber or wood-veneer-

faced plywood), but the specification in section 06 40 23 do not

include specs for wood species, cut, or finish. If wood veneer is

used is it the same STAINED MAPLE that is used for the bench

seats?

Reference elevation A-214/13. Provide per

detail A-551/4. Use PL-2 for shelves, back

panel, side panels, etc.

11/25/18 2

020 Perkins Eastman 11/14/18 SMC 5 Nova Wood Products 6 11/12/18 There is a note at elevation A-211/1 for SOLID SURFACE AT

WINDOW BENCH at curtain wall CW-01 in 121 Cafeteria. The

section detail is A314/3. That wall section shows precast

concrete bench at those locations. Which is correct? If a solid

surface bench is required, please identify which solid surface

colour and provide a section detail for it.

Provide cast stone bench. 11/25/18 2

021 Perkins Eastman 11/14/18 SMC 5 Nova Wood Products 7 11/12/18 Section details A-553/2,4 include notes for SUPPORT BRACKET at

wall-mounted benches. Specifications in section 06 40 23 do not

include bench support brackets. Please provide specs including

manufacturer, model number, type of metal (steel or

aluminum), and finish.

a. Which is correct? Should the entire face be plastic laminate

like the desks at Johnson ES (see details A-552/1,2)? Or are both

finishes used? If so, please provide an elevation of the desk face

that shows the extent of both finishes and how they meet/join.

Plastic laminate is correct.

not include a solid surface sill. Section detail A-322/5 is titled

SECTION DETAIL @ STAIR 1 – BOX W/PHENOLIC and it includes a

15” deep solid surface sill. Floor plan and enlarged plan for Stair

024 Perkins Eastman 11/14/18 SMC 5 Nova Wood Products 10 11/12/18 Summary in paragraph 1.02 of section 06 40 23 refers to plastic

laminate & solid surface items. Quality Assurance in paragraph

1.06.A refers to sequence-matched wood veneers. Materials in

paragraph 2.01 include plastic laminate and solid surface, but

there are no specifications for wood veneers. There are notes

for STAINED MAPLE in the drawings at the bench seats on A-552

(both sets of drawings). Is it Natural Maple (with colour variation

between sap & heart wood) or is White Maple (sapwood only)?

Is it plain sawn? What face grade is required (“A” is standard for

transparent finishes like this)?

Provide Grade ‘A’ plain sawn Natural maple

wood veneer.

11/25/18 4

Specifications in 06 40 23 indicate there are three (3) colours

required for plastic laminate and three (3) colours required for

solid surface. They are identified as “As scheduled on drawings”

(see paragraph 2.01.D.2 and 2.01.E.2). Interior Finish Schedule IN-

601 indicates there are four (4) colours each but none of the

colours are identified.

a. Which is correct? Are there 3 colours for each or 4 colours?

b. Will specific colours be identified? Cost for plastic laminate

varies widely, depending on manufacturer, colour/pattern, and

finish/texture chosen. Cost for solid surface has an even wider

range, depending on manufacturer & colour/pattern chosen.

028 Perkins Eastman 11/14/18 SMC 5 Nova Wood Products 14 11/12/18 Specification in paragraph 2.05.C indicate the cores of the plastic

laminate casework is to be either medium-density-overlay or

veneer-core plywood. AWS standards require either

particleboard of MDF cores at doors & drawer faces because of

warping & delamination. Please confirm that AWS standards

take precedence over project specifications. (Note that if the

owner/architect insists on another core at the doors & drawer

faces, we will fabricate them, but they will not be covered by the

warranty.)

AWS standards take precedence. 11/15/18 1

Scope of work for BP5 and summary paragraph at front of

section 06 40 23 refer to custom display cases, however there

are no specifications in section 06 40 23 for custom display

cases. There are section details (A-552 for Johnson Elementary &

A-553 for Rockwell Elementary) but the details are missing quite

a bit of information and some of the notes contradict each

other:

a. There are no thicknesses for the tempered glass, just notes

that say “as specified”. How thick are the doors? Are the shelves

the same thickness or are they different?

b. There are finishes for the hardware, but no sizes,

manufacturers, or model numbers. Please provide specifications

for door hinges & locks at swinging doors, door track systems &

locks at sliding doors, and shelf standards & brackets at glass

shelves.

c. The small display cases have notes for both pivot hinges &

sliding doors – which is correct?

d. Please provide specifications for the fabric on the tack

panels in the large cases – manufacturer, pattern, colour, etc.

Also, please provide specs for the tackable core under the fabric.

or is it something else?

f. There are notes for hardwood veneer panels at the top of

pressure laminate (i.e. melamine) in walnut or oak pattern at the

top, bottom, and ends. Which is correct?

g. Who is responsible for the Reglet trim – millworker or

drywaller? If the millworker is intended to provide it, we need to

know the profile, size (width/height and depth – only the height

is noted on the drawings), and finish. Is the same profile & size

a. SS-2 is not indicated on the drawings for either school

b. There is a note in the Rockwell drawings that suggests the

circulation desk in the Media Center is also called the

drawing set has several different solid surface sill details. There

are no sill detail tags on the window elevations on A-610 & A-

611 in either drawing set to identify which sill goes at which

window type. We are trying to work from building elevations to

building & wall sections to determine which sills go where, but

that is difficult. We’re assuming all windows in the same stretch

of wall have the same sill detail. Some walls do not have any

section tags, so we’re trying to determine the wall type by

looking at the building exteriors so we can match it to the

description in the sill detail titles. Some walls are not shown on

the building exteriors. In addition, there are several locations

that have inconsistent/contradictory information provided.

040 Perkins Eastman 11/5/18 SMC 8 Norwalk Glass 1 11/13/18 Please review the drawing below from A-321/ 5&6. It shows the

floor slab extending into my storefront, which on the verticals

would be in the way. It shows right now separate frames stacked

on top of mullion extensions, which does not work. There is no

way to secure separate frames together using the mullion

extension, as well as there is no way of securing it. The way to

make this work, with the jambs not being intersected with slab,

is to hold the frames out, and use a clip or type of tie back to

secure. This would require some design changes. Please review

and provide a revision, as this is holding me up with pricing due

to the conflict.

Provide 4” curtain wall system. Hold back of

CW ½” from existing 2nd floor slab. See

11/20/180 SMC 13 Firestop 2 11/15/18 Since the second floor will be fully remodeled in 2019, we will

have to install all components and have them fully tested to

allow for the school to take back the space. However the

sprinkler riser room is on the far side of the building with Phases

4 and 5 in between that won’t be worked on until 2020. Is it the

expected plan that the sprinkler system will be tested but not

live in the earlier phases of the project or are their plans for

temporary removal of ceilings to create access from the

sprinkler riser room to the second floor during phase 2 to allow

the system to be live at the completion of phase 2. (There were

no plans in the phasing to include the ceiling removal work.)

Since there are currently no sprinklers in the building, will the

Fire Marshall allow occupancy in areas with inactive sprinklers?

The Fire Marshall and the Building Official will

require that as sections are turned over that

the fire sprinkler systems be activated in those

areas. This is based on the Ct Fire & Building

codes that stipulate fire sprinklers in "E" use

buildings, as they will fall under the CT Fire &

Building Codes for alterations and new

construction/renovations.

drilling of existing walls will be permitted.” I would imagine there

will be a fair amount of instances where we will need to

penetrate existing CMU walls with 3” or larger diameter holes to

supply sprinkler piping into classrooms. I believe the reason

behind this requirement is due to the lead paint on the CMU

walls, so I want to know if there is a plan to have another

contractor perform wall drilling for the project as a whole? Or

are other options for getting through existing walls available to

us besides drilling the existing?
