4. Questions
a. Page 22, Item 2 'Doorway and Corner Sizes for CNC Machines'. According to the "New Work Floor Plan" [drawing
file A04-113845-008], the only two access doors into Room #47 where the CNC machines will be located are 6'
wide. Can you confirm this? If so, even the CNC mill specifications (Reference Page 20, Item 2) has an minimum
dimension of 82" so that would not fit through these entrances.
Answer: The following is the clarification of the path to the classroom for this equipment:
“The path to the machinist classroom is mixed. But from the hallway into each of the classroom the pair doors
only measure 72 inches hard to the jambs, possibly less depending on the position of the door. Both doorways
are 8' to the header.
To get the machine in the building it must enter through the shipping door where Damon has his desk, then turn
left through the 8' wide double doors into the corridor it must navigate the right turn at the staff restroom, turn left
into machinist classroom.
Entry into machinist classroom 2 is a jog left around the corner column, through the cased opening in classroom
1.”
