Bidder Questions & Responses
Question: Drawing 4V6-04 indicates the new security cameras are to be tied into building
449. Where is building 449 in relation to this project?
Response: Building 449 is at the northeast guard gate, approximately 1,200 feet from the
project site
B.
Question: Will the new cameras have to be integrated into the existing security system? If
so, then please provide detailed information about the existing system for integration
pricing.
Response: Confirm that new cameras are to be integrated into the existing security system.
Existing system is PureAcitv outdoor surveillance system by PureTech Systems:
http://www.puretechsystems.com/pureactiv.html
C.
Question: Drawing S-8 calls out for the contractor to design and install a new hydraulic lift
system for the wash canopy. Given there is only 150 days for this contract, is it really
feasible to expect a design to be completed, approved, materials fabricated and installed,
tested and operated in that time frame? Please considered extending the contract duration
Response: The scope of final design is limited to the sizing of the HPU and controls, and
detailing actuator assembly. It is considered that the contract time is sufficient assuming
that design and fabrication proceeds in parallel with site work. The Owner will expedite
submittal reviews to the extent necessary; contract duration cannot be extended for
operational reasons.
D.
Question: Confirm the following finish requirements: Painted: Structural steel column,
girders, rafters, bollards (yellow), roof decking (PVDF). Please specify the roof decking
color. Galvanized: Anchor bolts, bolts, purlin. Please confirm nothing is to be both
galvanized and painted.
Response: Confirm the coating requirements as summarized. No items are to be both hotdip galvanized and painted, but note “galvalume” roofing material with PVDF coating. Color
will be selected by Owner.

Addendum #2
Page 3 of 4
Addendum No. 2
E.
Question: Please advise if it is acceptable to replace the utilidor chase with RCP, PVC, Iron
pipe, or a precast concrete chase. The existing utilidor design appears to be cast in place
which will require multiple pours and time consuming formwork. We feel a prefabricated
unit will provide the same utility in a reduced time. If this is acceptable please advise what
area the cross section of the chase needs to be.
Response: Such substitution may be proposed as part of final design of the hydraulic
system. In principle the Owner is not opposed. The cross sectional area shall be sufficient
for installation and future maintenance of hydraulic lines/hoses; the area indicated shall be
considered a minimum unless final designer can justify otherwise.
F.
Question: Will the installed wick/earthquake drains be below the bottom of subgrade? If
not, who is responsible for repair if they are damaged during excavation?
Response: It is understood that the portion of the wick drain in the referenced area will be
damaged during construction. No repair will be required.
G.
Question: Is the surcharge good structural fill material or is it waste ie. Gumbo material
Response: Surcharge material is approximately 50% select granular fill and 50% common
fill with plastic fines. None of the surcharge is considered to be waste material.
H.
Question: Could not locate appendix A
Response: See Addendum no. 2 documents for Appendix A.
