Addendum #1
0735 C – Acoma Parking Garage
April 26, 2012
1. Precast columns shown at: A-10,A-11,A-1.5,A.2-1,A.2-1.5,D-1,D-2,D-3 are not doing
anything. There are solid full height bearing walls at these locations. Are these columns
necessary? There are not full height bearing walls at these locations. They will be
columns, spandrals, and infill panels.
2. Probably too early to ask about this, but the man door on the south elevations on the west
edge near the stair tower may have to move to the east to get the doorway out of the load
path coming down from the spandrel bearing. Also, the walls stacked at this location will
probably have to have a monolithic pilaster cast onto the back of the panel to emulate a
column to carry the spandrel load. Location of opening in south wall (no door) will
accommodate structure.
3. Panel finishes: keynotes on sheet A-300- 3.04, 3.07, 3.12 gray panel with brick veneer. On
the other parking structure, the brick veneer panels had the architectural concrete behind
the brick, so the mortar color was the beige concrete. I believe this panel should be thin
brick veneer with architectural concrete face mix/mortar color and structural gray back up.
This is correct.
4. Structural gray panel- On the other parking structure (and on the east and west sides of
this garage), the sill is the beige acid etch. I believe this panel base should also be the beige
acid etch. Example- on the west elevation at grid 4 we should not have gray panel base
coming in from the left butting into beige on the right. Correct. ALL Exposed precast on
exterior should be beige acid etch.
5. We were informed that DHHA has their list of prequalified subcontractors. Are these one
and the same as the City and County of Denver Certified M/WBE firms? I have been
attempting to obtain this list from the footnote at the bottom of the website that says
M/WBE with no success. Can you please forward that list to me or direct me to the right
website to obtain this listing? We do not have a list of pre-qualified subcontractors. We
use the City’s MWBE list which you can access on the City’s Site.
6. Please clarify the application of the 10% M/WBE calculation. Is this 10% of total contract
value or 10% of the direct cost of the work? The 10% of the GMP.
7. An allowance of $60,000 shall be included in the GMP for the large DHHA signature sign
located on the North face.
8. See attachment 012100.

This note calls for 13 each new twist lock receptacles for 13 new ambulance parking spaces in
the existing Bannock parking garage. Are we to assume there is no other work required for these
new spaces as none is shown? Please advise.
To accommodate the (13) new receptacles, a sub panel will need to be set in the electrical room
of the existing Bannock Garage. The sub panel will be fed out of an existing 208V 3 phase panel
board in that same room. The contractor will be required to provide and install the sub-panel,
connection as well as the (13) receptacles and the conduit and wire back to the panel for a
complete and operational system. If you need additional information, please let me know. All
distribution for this work will be fed from the existing Bannock Garage.
