Q:
on phase 2? This allows vapor barrier to not be destroyed during precast placement/welding on
footings, CMU placement on footings, electrical/plumbing underslab, etc.. Provides a much
cleaner product.
At Contractor option, it is acceptable to extend the vapor barrier over footing rather than
draping into footing. If extended over footing the vapor barrier must extend to the edge of the
SOG and turned up to the height of the SOG that is placed above the vapor barrier.

Q: 1. Where is the temp power source located for buildings G, H & J, and how much power is
available for use?
2. Where is the temp power source for building K and how much power is available for use?
The temp power source for buildings G,H,J AND K is located at the North East corner of
the Main Jail electrical room and just South of the Phase II most recently installed emergency
generator. In the electrical room there is a 2000 Amp main which supply’s power to the
exciting Main Jail, We currently have 3 ATS switchgear being metered at between 150 and 175
A: amps. This amperage will fluctuate and can reach up to 300 amp at peak season when all roof
top units are running. We would need to meter and log amperage usage in order to have an
exact number for available power.
The cost for energy will be 11 cents per KwH.

1. Are the plan shown grade beam quantities/sizes for metal building accurate for concrete
contractors to bid from? Meaning actual design of pre engineered metal building will not
require anything more then what is shown?
Q:
2. Are the plan shown AB's and tension ties required for the metal building accurate enough for
concrete contractors to bid from? Again, that actual pre engineered metal building will not
require more then what is shown now.
1) Concrete grade beam sizes indicated on drawings are preliminary sizes based on bestestimate loading for the pre-engineered metal building (PEMB). The PEMB is a deferred
submittal item per S0.1. Final PEMB design, including final column base reactions, are part of
the PEMB designer scope. Final sizes of grade beams will be confirmed after PEMB

Refer to CP0.00 item 7 for fire resistance requirements for building elements. Per this table,
structural steel in Area G and H require applied fireproofing to meet requirements, and
A:
structural concrete has additional requirements to meet fireproof & fire resistive requirements.
3. Area J as a whole is a Type II-B building. See CP0.00 Item 7, this is not a fire resistive
construction type. There are fire rated walls within Area J that require fire rated construction
and closures, as at wall type B6.1 and C8.3.
