Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides responses to vendor questions regarding the solicitation for roofing and related repairs, clarifying requirements and site conditions.

• Personnel: The Superintendent, SSHO, and QC Manager do not need to be three separate individuals.
• Performance Period Extension: Extensions may be granted for material/equipment lead times due to market conditions, with proper documentation and justification.
• Hazardous Materials: While some lead was found (under 800 ppm), no asbestos was detected. A hazardous materials survey has been completed. If concerns arise about attic materials containing asbestos, the contractor is responsible for initial testing.
• Roof Warranty: The warranty is required only for the repaired areas, not the entire roof.
• Quantities: For items like subfloor, drywall, fascia boards, soffit, and snow guards, the contractor is responsible for verifying all quantities; drawings can be used for rough dimensions.
• Site Conditions: Potential pest or animal activity (snakes, rodents, bees, birds) and bird nests/droppings in soffit/attic areas are noted. Contractors should address these as part of their bid if they deem it a significant issue, or submit an RFI for a change in site conditions.
• Insulation: Existing attic insulation depth is not specified; the contractor must verify this. New blown-in insulation is required to achieve R-60.
• Heat Pump: The specifications call for a 3-ton Energy Star split-system heat pump with an auxiliary heat kit. A comparable cold-climate unit may be acceptable, subject to approval, as the listed product is a basis of design, not a mandatory requirement, provided all specifications are met.

This Q&A document clarifies several aspects of the original solicitation, including personnel requirements, potential site conditions, and material specifications. Bidders should review these clarifications to accurately prepare their proposals and understand their responsibilities regarding site conditions and material verification.
