Addendum #3 - Response to submitted questions, clarifications
1.) Is this system being supplied by the canopy manufacturer system? It appears so as it calls out
non-typical 2x2 steel frame and angle clips to attach to the building and flushes up under the
canopy. We then think the glazing contractor would fill in the light panels correct? Or should we
look at the entry as a standard aluminum system?
•
•
The above system will not be supplied by the canopy manufacture.
The above system is intended to be built from the 2x2 alum framing with glass (with
opacifier) inserted after the system is attached to the wall.
•
If the contractor feels that a standard storefront system that meets the design criteria in
the documents is a more efficient and cost effective approach, please provide a line item
deduct for this.
2.) Secondly are we leaving the existing door frame in place and retro-fitting a new door slab in its
place? Again it appears this is the case by the way the enlarged plans read the HM frame
remains recessed&
•
The existing hollow metal door frame will remain and the new door slab will replace the
existing door.
3.) Who will be supplying and installing the Teknion aluminum frame system? I assume per the
addenda the contractor supplies and installs correct?
• The Teknion light sharing glass wall is supplied and installed by Teknion. The GC will
have Teknion under his contract and will coordinate the timing of the purchase and
installation of the glass wall. GC is also expected to coordinate with Teknion for field
verification of the light sharing glass wall height.
4.) Will glass be supplied with the system supplier or will this need to be bid separately?
• The glass is supplied by Teknion. Please see attached proposal from Teknion.
5.) Will Teknion be doing the etched glass symbols as part of their system?
• The etched glass symbols are vinyl applications by a separate supplier. Specifications for
the vinyl applications were provided in a previous addendum.
6.) Sheet A1.1 Keynote 30 calls out for Opaque (frosted) glass, page A5.1 storefront elevations note
calls out for ¼” clear glass. If bid separately what glass do I bid?

For the faux storefronts system at door 3, the glass is to be ¼” frosted glass to match the
existing storefront system frosted glass at the entry into Public Safety.
For the storefront system at door 2, the glass is to be 1/4” clear glass.
7.) Storefront elevation #2 is assumed to be matched up with door #5, is this also the Teknion
system? Will the door be supplied with the system? Who will be installing the glass sidelite?
Clear or frosted glass?
• The Teknion system is for the light sharing wall only.
• Omit Storefront Elevation #2. It no longer applies to the project.
• Door #5 should have Door Elevation D with a solid core wood door, stained to match the
existing door and a painted hollow core door frame and sidelite with a 1/4” clear
tempered glass. This door system is to match the existing door between the Women’s
restroom and the Electrical room per photo below.
8.) Where does this door occur? Is it for the exterior entry or the interior entry? Sheet A1.1 interior
entry does not indicate a sidelight nor does the exterior door. Where does this door get installed?
Is it hollow metal or aluminum if it is used someplace?

•
Omit Storefront Elevation #2.
Door #2 is to be as scheduled as a solid core door with full light vision panel and hollow
metal frame.
9.) In reviewing Addendum, I am curious what the window wall people are saying when they mention
“VIN-1 To Be Installed By Contractor”. What exactly is “VIN-1”? The cut sheet does not indicate
what this is? Previously OFOI but now it sounds like OFCI??? Could you clarify all this please?
