001 We may be interested in submitting our bid for card access portion of this project, but the bid documents do not include any specifications in Division 28 for access control. Please clarify with Owner / Architect if this is a design-build project or if there are (or will be) any requirements for a brand-name specific product and model. Electrical 002 Address Plaque: 8" x 16" x 1/4" Cast Aluminum Plaque; Mill finished raised areas; travertine background; Beveled border; concealed mount; [Manufacturer: Gemini] Specs and drawings differ on details of border, background finish and mounting methods of both plaques Arch 003 Aluminum Plaque: 36" x 24" x 1/4" Cast Aluminum Plaque; Mill finished raised areas; travertine background; Beveled border; concealed mount; [Manufacturer: Gemini] Specs and drawings differ on details of border, background finish and mounting methods of both plaques Arch 004 Halo Lit Fabricated Letters, Clear Anodized finish; Arial Bold font; projected stud mount. Are the Halo Lit letters the same as the ASI Fabricated Letters or different? Arch 005 4" x 4" x 1/8" thick MP Plastic Room ID signs; tape mount; EVERY ROOM, Specs mentions "Refer to signage schedule and drawings for sizes, locations and layout of signage types, sign text copy and graphics" there is no sign schedule Arch 006 Fabricated Letters by ASI LTV series Digitally cut vinyl letters. Fabricated Logo as above; Are the ASI LTV letters just vinyl? Or are they face lit fabricated letters with digitally printed vinyl? Or something else altogether? Arch 007 Who is providing the Salt Dome, Storage Bins, and Fueling Station, are these all being provided by the Owner, what if any is required by the general contractor? Arch 008 Qty (01) plaque: 8” x 16” x ¼” Cast Aluminum “2021” Qty (01) plaque: 24” x 36” x ¼” Cast Aluminum, unknown text Room ID at every door minimum 4” x 4” x 1/8” MP Plastic signs (am I supposed to come up with a signage series and schedule using floor plans?) I don’t know which spec goes with what drawing for the following: * Fabricated Letters and Logos by ASI * Halo Lit Letters * Fabricated Letters Will this include tactile exit signs, Window signs for changeable copy, Permanent room ID, And Restroom signage? Arch 009 I have a quick question regarding the actual project. Room C101 waiting area has LVT as floor designation with EPX-1 as the base. Do they really want epoxy cove base with the lvt or was this a typo. Arch 010 Looking at the epoxy flooring. Will we need to figure epoxy on the floor of the shower and will this require us to pitch the epoxy? The plumbing details show that there is a trench drain going in the shower I believe the notation was TR2. This is what is making me think we will need to pitch those areas. The plans are pretty vague giving details. Arch 011 I would like the opportunity to bid the fire alarm for this project using Autocall FA by Johnson Controls. It is basically a Simplex System for JCI and is non- proprietary. Electrical 012 Performance requirements for Freezer/Cooler Two critical pieces of information relating to the "Prefabricated Cold Storage Rooms" are being requested as part of this RFI. 1. Request that the temperature and, if relevant, humidity, set points for the walk-in cooler (Room C137) and the Walk-in Freezer (Room C136) be provided. Neither the Section 130380 specifications not the Cooler/Freezer Schedule on Drawing M4.1 identify the desired operating temperature/humidity conditions. 2. Requested that the Temperature Uniformity & Humidity Performance requirements outlined in Paragraph 3.3C and 3.3D of the section 130380 specifications be updated/clarified to include desired temperature uniformity requirements (eg. +/- 1˚ C) and if applicable, acceptable relative humidity range (e.g. +/- 5%) Mechanical +1 2 questions 014 Can you provided specification of Pavement thickness for the Trash Enclosure Area as well as for the Transformer / generator area onb C2.1 Arch 015 I was hoping to get some information on the 56 LF of external trench drain from the civil pages. According to the plans it says “see detail”. However, I’m unable to locate the trench drain detail. Can you please advise what is spec’d? Civil 016 In addition, are you accepting additional manufactures other than what is spec’d for the internal (plumbing) trench drain? Arch 017 can you please provide specifications regarding the barrier arm gates? Not sure what functions are needed along with who's the existing manufacturer. Civil 018 There are a few specifications where it is indicated that the contractor shall provide testing. One such specification is steel decking 053100. Is this correct? Arch 019 In specification section 051200 it states that the fabricator and installer need to be AISC certified. Can this requirement for AISC certification be waived? Arch +1 020 In specification section 280500 there is no equipment identified. Is the access control and security system equipment furnished and installed by owner and we are only to provide conduit and boxes? If we are to provide the equipment is it an open specification or will there be an addendum issued for the equipment specification. Electrical 023 There are 2 spec sections numbered 075423 in the Spec Book. Is one or the other not supposed to be in there, or is there supposed to be 2 with that number, but different kind of roofing? Arch 024 Spec section 033543 Polished Concrete is in the spec book but not indicated in any of the rooms on the room finish schedule sheet A 9.11. Should this be at the flooring surfaces identified as sealed concrete? Arch 025 Primex clock system is specified in section 275313, but there aren’t any designations on the drawing for clock locations. Can you provide the clock locations? Arch 026 Plaques -- There is enough info in the specs and Plan Sheet A8.12 for us to provide a quote for the two plaques that appear to be in this project (building number and dedication plaque). Please confirm that this is all they need. Arch 027 Per Specs: 4. General Coordination procedures a. Coordinating Contractor shall retain a third-party consultant specializing in building Information Model generation and coordination and shall perform three- dimensional… Are we responsible for hiring the BIM contractor? If so, please confirm what discipline do you need, HVAC? Plumbing? Electrical? Arch 028 1). Table of Contents says 221123 -Domestic Water Pumps 2).

Arch 033 RFI regarding glass & glazing: Please clarify frame type C-3. Is this frame to be hollow metal as shown on the door schedule or aluminum with a hollow metal doors as shown at detail 11/A9.3 and storefront elevations on sheet 9/A9.2. Please advise. Arch 034 After reviewing the plans I believe there may be a page missing. I need the existing grades east of the existing building where the new building and roads are going. The proposed grading on C4.0 & C4.1 have white space covering the existing grades, and I don't believe the existing grades I need to calculate cut & fill quantities are on C1.0-C1.2A either. Civil 035 The architect has not selected styles for the ceramic tile, LVT, or carpet tile. They have only listed the manufacturer and sizes of these products. In order to price the job we will need the styles of all of these products. I will assume this information will be coming out in an addenda. Arch 036 Spec 101419 ,1.2 A—which letters are illuminate? Which are not? Appears to be at least 4 sets of letters in question. What are the sizes? Not shown on prints. Spec 101423 . Cannot locate a signage schedule, or a detail sheet identifying sign types and sizes. Please advise as to all details for interiors. Arch 037 Print A5.1 Letters on canopy. Factory recommends tie backs for bottom mounted letters. They are not shown in any of the details. If it is insisted there be no tie backs, manufacturers will not warranty. If they don’t warranty, we cannot warranty. How will this be handled? Arch 038 Spec 101423 2.4 installation call out both mechanical fasteners and 2 sided tape. Which is correct? Cannot be both. Arch 039 Print A5.1 detail 4- plaque next to letters Kane . What is it? Material, thickness, height? Arch 040 Print A 5.2 detail 2- County seal. What is it? Size, height & thickness? Material? Desired mounting method? Bricks show through on the drawings. Are all the plaque details individual pieces or is the plaque supposed to be 1 solid piece? Arch 041 Spec 101423 interior signage. – there is no signage schedule listed. Nor is there a sheet identifying sign type, sign sizes. Please advise where this detail can be located. Arch 042 The project documents do not contain any Site Work specifications such as earthwork, site utilities, site paving, etc. Will any specifications be provided for the site work required on this project? Civil 043 The drawing A2.2A shows North and East partitions in the Boiler room as a drywall partitions. This is the walls with doors S201A and S201B. Please clarify type of this partitions. Arch 044 On sheet A 2.11 wall partition type E-3 calls for insulated CMU 8”, 10”. What type of insulation is to be used? Arch 045 Drawings A6.15 detail 4 show the canopy that is above the OHD and refers to detail 7/A6.22. The other canopies on drawings A6.12 and A6.11 don’t have a detail. Would they follow the same detail on 7/A6.22? Arch 046 ACM panels are missing their specification. What type of ACM is needed? Arch 047 Finish Schedule on A9.11 and Wall Finish Plan on A9.14A references Ceramic Tile CT-3 which is not listed on the Finish Material Legend. Please provide specifications for this tile type. Arch 048 Spec Section 112100 Building Equipment section 2.1D equipment tag D, more information is required for the Mettler Toledo floor scale. Please provide a specific model number required for bid. Arch 049 The equipment schedule on drawing A10.1B, keynote 12, lists two Mi-T-N models of pressure washers. The two models have different electrical voltage requirements. The electrical equipment schedule on E4.4 shows both power washers having the same electrical requirements. Please clarify which model is correct. Arch +1 050 The project manual didn’t include a specification for the countertops. What type of countertop, how thick, and what kind of edges? Arch 051 SS-1 is missing in the finish schedule. What type of countertop is SS-1? Arch 052 Per the Glazing Schedule on Sheet A9.2, glass type MG-1 is to be ½” clear tempered glass. Glazing Spec 088000 Section 3.6A lists this same glass type as 6mm (i.e. ¼”) clear annealed glass. Please confirm required glass type/specifications for MG-1. Arch 053 Please confirm specifications for glass type IG-2 as it is not listed in Glazing Spec 088000. Arch 054 Glazing Specification 088000 Section 3.6B calls out glass type MG-2 though it is not listed on the Glazing Schedule and we can’t seem to find this in the drawings. Please clarify where this glass type is to be used Arch 055 Per Sheet A7.27 Det. 2 & 5 we are to provide safety glass panels to protect the TV’s in the Autopsy room. Please provide specifications on what glass type is to be used for these locations. Arch 056 Please confirm material for frame type C4. Should it be hollow metal or aluminum? Arch 057 Frame type C3 is identified as hollow metal with hollow metal doors on Door Schedule but on elevations/details (Sheets 6.13/4, 6.14/3, & 6.15/2) it is shown as aluminum storefront. Please clarify materials. Arch 058 For Aluminum Storefront frame type A please confirm, is there an operable awning or vent as called out on detail 1/A6.11? Arch 059 Are we required to use the old construction entrance off Peck Road (marked in red) or can we use the main entrance road off Route 38 for construction traffic (marked in blue)? See the attached sketch. Arch 060 The attached work table is shown on sheet A8.12, but it’s not shown on the floor plans. Can you please confirm on how many instances this work table occurs. Arch 061 Specification 0951113 calling for AP-1-Tectum 1”x48”x96” direct attached panels. I don’t see it on Reflected Ceiling plans or interior elevations. Please clarify if it is any on this project. Arch 062 1). Frame type C-3. Is this frame to be hollow metal as shown on the door schedule or aluminum with a hollow metal door as shown at detail 11/A9.3 and storefront elevations on sheet 9/A9.2. Please advise. 2). Glass type MG-1 call for ½” clear tempered glass as shown on the glazing schedule on sheet A9.2. The specification 088000 item 3.6/A calls for MG-1 to be ¼” clear glass. Please clarify. 3). Glass type IG-2 shown on the glazing schedule sheet A9.2 calls for 1-1/16” tempered insulating glass. The glazing specification does not list glass type IG- 2. Please advise. 4). Is all of the glass type IG-1 to be Green tinted. Please advise. Arch 5 questions 063 1). Sheet M2.1A, Supply ductwork for DOAS-2W, note 3 states double wall duct, note 9 states 14 gage back to fan. Am I to use 14 gage double wall? 14 gage for both the inner and outer shells? 2). Sheet M2.1A, Exhaust double wall ductwork for Exhaust Fan EF-135. Is the listed size for the outer shell? Is this duct to be 14 gage? The stainless steel material for the drop is only back to the main? 3). Sheet M2.1A, Exhaust double wall ductwork for ERU-W. Is the listed size for the outer shell? Is all of this duct to be 14 gage, or only after the silencer up to equipment? The stainless steel material for the drop is only back to the main? 4) Sheet M2.1A, Supply double wall ductwork for DOAS-1W. Is the listed size for the outer shell? Is all of this duct to be 14 gage, or only after the silencer up to unit? The stainless steel material for the drop is only back to the main? 5) Sheet M2.1A, The 30” x 20” double wall supply ductwork in corridor. Are the runouts to the VAV Boxes to be double wall construction? Low pressure ductwork 1-1/2” liner? 6) Sheet M2.1B Exhaust ductwork for Exhaust Fans VEF-162, 164. Is this 316 stainless steel duct to be flanged? Welded? 7) Sheet M2.1C, double wall supply ductwork, Are the runouts to the VAV Boxes to be double wall construction? Low pressure ductwork 1-1/2” liner? Mechanical 7 questions 064 I have request for clarification on the EPX-1 and EPX-2. 1). The room schedule calls for cove in room C101 waiting area base. The floor is not EPX-1 or EPX-2. Please clarify base material for that room and or floor material. 2). The GP Sherwin Williams Aqua Armor has an inherent water vapor barrier in the primer. Is this acceptable for the MVE system necessary. 3). Please confirm 4" cove. 4). Please clarify : No field fabrication of joints allowed, including out-of-plumb / level butt joints. Does this mean that the EPX-1 and EPX-2 system need to be free from honoring control and construction joints on the surface. Typically , HTI honors the control joints and construction joints and then will honor them in the surface of the EPX-1 and EPX-2 flooring then seal with RS88 joint sealant in the color of choice. We can utilize a different method but would not know for certain how to cost until the concrete is poured and all cracks/joints are accounted for prior to installation of EPX-1 and EPX-2. 5). Please specify what chemicals will be present for cleaning/storage/etc. in the facility in areas that EPX-1 and EPX-2 are subjected to. This is especially critical for the hazmat area/aux autopsy room. Arch 5 questions 065 Drawings indicate two types of “thin brick veneer”.Does the AOR have specific installation requirements as this can vary with manufacturer?Ni info in the unit masonry spec. Arch 066 I have a steel subcontractor asking if the AISC certified plant can be waived for the Kane County Multi-Use Facility project? Please let me know. Thank you Structure 067 1). What type of 3” rigid insulation board is to be utilized in the masonry cavity: polyiso or polystyrene? 2). Can you please advise color selections on the solid surface material? 3). Can the AISC certification requirement be waived? Many Structural Steel Contractors have asked this question. Both RCW and Cordogan Clark have worked with these contractors who would be prohibited from bidding unless this certification is waived. 4). The drawings call out for insulated CMU to be utilized, however the specifications don’t call out what they are to be insulated with? There is at least 6 different ways to insulate CMU. Please provide clarification. 5). Frame type C-3 at (7) exterior locations shows on the door schedule to have hollow metal doors and hollow metal frames. Detail section 2 on A6.15 calls for aluminum frames with hollow metal doors. Question: Is frame aluminum or hollow metal? 6). Page A9.2 calls out glass type IG-2 full vision 1- 1/16” insulated tempered glass. It is shown to be in elevation frame types C-3, C-4 and overhead door type OH-1. The glass specification 088000-10 only identifies IG-1 type. Question: What is the make-up of glass type IG-2? 7). Page A9.2 calls for glass type MG-1 to be 1/2” clear tempered glass. Glass specification 088000-9 shows MG-1 to be ¼” clear annealed glass. Question: What type of glass tempered or annealed and what thickness is MG-1 ¼” or ½”? Arch +1 7 questions 076 Civil drawings marked as "not for construction" shows existing utility lines over at existing Kane County Government Center. It does not apprea that anything is being changed or new work proposed as the cross hatch says the same thing on proposed utility drawings as well. Civil 069 Can you please request a civil drawing that provides existing contours east of the match line similar to Sheets C1.0 and C4.0, which are west of the match line. Civil 070 Can you advise if suspended vent and storm piping material is PVC or C.I ? Per Mechanical drawings appear to be plenum return system. Plumbing 071 1). Resinous flooring basis of design is now Dur-A-Flex Dur-A-Flake epoxy flake. The spec is for Dur-A-Quartz. Addition of Flake instead of quartz is the Dur-A-Flake system. Micro Flex at 0.15 lbs/sf and Macro at 0.1 lbs/sf. Please clarify Dur-A-Flake or Dur-A-Quartz system. Arch 072 1). The room schedule calls for cove in room C101 waiting area base. The floor is not EPX-1 or EPX-2. Please clarify base material for that room and or floor material. 2). The GP Sherwin Williams Aqua Armor has an inherent water vapor barrier in the primer. Is this acceptable for the MVE system necessary. 3). The spec calls for 4" cove but there is a drawing that has 6" cove. Can you confirm 4" or 6" cove? 4). Please clarify : No field fabrication of joints allowed, including out-of-plumb / level butt joints. Does this mean that the EPX-1 and EPX-2 system need to be free from honoring control and construction joints on the surface? Typically , HTI honors the control joints and construction joints and then will honor them in the surface of the EPX-1 and EPX-2 flooring then seal with RS88 joint sealant in the color of choice. 5). Resinous Flooring Spec per addendum#2 has changed to Dur-A-Flex basis of design The Dur-A-Flex Flake Floor System is micro and macro flake as the aggregate not quartz as indicated on the spec. What is the level of addition of Macro/Micro flake if this is indeed what that are asking for? The system specked out is for the Dur-A-Quartz system. Its a good system just doesn’t have decorative flake it has decorative quartz. Arch 5 questions 073 Please confirm the acid etched cast stone above the windows is part of the precast panels? My cast people are asking.A5.1 Typical. Arch 074 Just to confirm the thin brick is part of the precast panel and is cast in with the panel Correct? Arch 075 Utility connection points are unclear, please clarify. We assume the water is at the pressure connections across street. The storm is all onsite with just 1 lid change at street entrance. The sanitary is unclear, is it in the street which is completed or stubbed up to the drop MH (detail included for that). Existing storm MHs show up on google maps but not the sanitary. Civil 077 Please check signage scope, below" 1). There are a few remaining RFIs: depths of dimensional logo and lettering; also the shield details on the dimensional logo – do they want this painted? Giclee print applied to face of fabricated logo? 2). Colored Anodized is a significant upcharge; Anodizing large letters is also costly and has considerable lead time – do you want a value engineered option as well? I am waiting on final numbers from my manufacturer Arch 2 questions 078 Depth of Sinage DL-01 Arch 079 Depth of Halo Lite Signage (Kane County) - DL-02: 1). Letters - KANE COUNTY 2). LetterS - MULTI USE FACILITY 3). 2'-6" CLIENT LOGO Arch 3 questions 080 The Addendum #2-RFI #61 clarify that the Tectum panels per specification 0951113 to be provided for Alternate #6. The Alternate #6 calling for furnishing and installing Tectum direct-attach ceiling panels attached to the deck.-Series 8175T10-total quantity of 630 panels. The series 8175T10 is 2’ x 4’ panels so 630 panels will be 5,040 SF. The specification 095113 calling for 4’ x 8’ panels so 630 panels will be 20,160 SF. Please clarify if we have to provide 630 panels size 2’ x 4’ or 4’ x 8’. Arch 081 1). Do you have an idea on the wall height you are looking for? Typical, is an 8’ wall. But it looks like from the dome height you have, it would need a 12’ concrete. 2). Do you have an idea where it is going on the site, so we can take a look at the geo-tech report and see what the foundation requirements would be? 3). Also, I assume you were looking at an asphalt floor? That is what is most common. Arch 3 questions 082 My question is regarding Sheets C2.0 & C2.1 vs C2.0A & C2.1A . These are both Site Geometric and paving pans but the A depicts alternate work that I just done see ? Please clarify. Civil 083 Will the AISC Quality certification for the steel be waived or no? Structure 084 Would it possible for Price Industries to quote the VAV, GRDS and Silencers and Greenheck for the Manual Volume Dampers, Roof Top Units and Make-Up Air Units. We would meet the specification requirements that is specified in each of the sections. If there are additional information we would need to provide to be allowed to bid the specified equipment’s? Mechanical 085 Specification Section 281500 issued in Addendum 002 references Section 281300 Access control System Software and Database Management. Please provide specification section 281300. Electrical 086 I have a couple question for the mechanical portion of the project. 1). Hose reel-1 model number (HD78080 OLP) cannot be found. Is that the correct model number? 2). Please provide a detail of how the hose reels are supported in the middle of the room. 3). Will an enlarged plan view be provided to show what equipment the ½” and ¾” is tying into. Also provide an Air Compressor detail. 4). Who is responsible for furnishing and installing the cooler and freezer? 5). Will each gas fired equipment need to have its own gas regulator? Mechanical 5 questions 092 The spec on the Mirage “Oxy” OX-04 Royal White as a 3 x 6 size which is not very typical for Porcelain (Usually it’s a Ceramic Subway Tile size) so I want to see if I can get some clarification from you on this. If you see that last email from the Flooring Contractor bidding this he said the drawings show a 12 x 24 size for this tile but the drawings/spec info state a 3 x 6 and he thinks this may be a typo? Can you please confirm size? Arch 087 1). Should we only quote Norlake even though kolpak designed this walk in? Project manual states Norlake Scientific Hudson, Wisconsine as acceptable manufacturers 2). Why is there 2 heights? (Refer to Cooler/Freezer Schedule on sheet M4.1 Arch +1 2 questions 088 1). What’s the difference between the ‘Metal Casework’ and the ‘Healthcare Casework’? It looked to me that all of it was ‘Metal Casework’. Where is the ‘Healthcare Casework’ located (room, elevation, etc)? 2). Where does Detail 8 & 9/A9.3 apply? I didn’t see it on any of the Wall Sections? Arch 2 questions 095 Please review the attached questions: 1). Are the requested alternates 2G and 3G needed? Is Alternate 6A the same as Alternate 7? Also, the bid form included in the Specifications does not have enough lines to write in all of the requested alternates and unit prices. 2). Is fireproofing of structural steel or metal decking required? 3). What type of waterproofing is required for the below grade precast wall panels and CMU walls? Arch +2 3 questions 096 1). What is the design temperature of the cooler and freezer? 2). The drawings show a 4” depression in the concrete slab for the cooler and freezer room. Insulation alone will not stop the cold from penetrating into the subgrade and potentially causing heaving in the freezer. Freezers typically have an underfloor “heating system” which I did not see. Please confirm one is not required? 3). What is the CMU wall between the cooler/freezer for? It could be eliminated and cooler/freezers share walls at the time. 4). Specification 093013 Ceramic Tiling calls for CT-2 to be Mirage Oxy OX04 Royal White 3” X 6”. This tile is not made in a 3” X 6” size. Should the size be 12” X 24”? 5). Follow up question to RFI Log #52 Response: Please confirm that you want ½” tempered glass in Doors D5, D8 and HM Sidelites F3? Arch 5 questions 097 1). The civil plans show a berm to be made with the additional soil left over after construction, but minimum topsoil depth, and seeding instructions for this area are not provided on the civil drawings or shown on the landscaping drawings. Please advise has to how the landscape contractor should determine the scope of furnishing and seeding this berm. 2). It appears that that the hose reel – 1 model number (HD78080 OLP) doesn’t exist. Is this the correct model number? 3). It doesn’t appear that there is a current detail for how the hose reels are to be supported in the middle of the room(s). Does the architect anticipate providing a detail that shows this? 4). Does each gas fired piece of equipment need to have its own gas regulator? Civil +2 4 questions 098 A few questions we talked about 1). The roofing system is spec’d as fully adhered. They would save a ton of money if the insulation, coverboard and substrate board were all screwed done in lieu of all the adhesive. Can we give a voluntary alt for mechanically attached? 2). Detail 12/A6.21. We can do 8” face that’s ES1 certified with one piece instead of it being multiple pieces as shown. 3). Section includes installation of sound-absorbing insulation strips in ribs of roof deck. Soundabsorbing insulation strips are furnished under Section 053100 "Steel Decking." We will only install the soundproofing and it will be provided by a different trade? Arch 3 questions 099 Looking at this project they have Resilient transitions of rubber in spec sheet with Roppe and Johnsonite as manufacturers and Schluter is listed in blueprint, A9.12. If Schluter is meant to be the product can they provide a part numbers as I don't find anything that meet these profiles. Arch 100 1). Is it possible to get a cleaner set of civil drawings for C3.0 and C3.0A? There is quite a bit of notes overlapping each other and it makes it very hard to decipher. 2). I'm having a difficult time understanding if the water main that we are to install is (2) 10" pressure connections to existing or to be installed. It cuts off at the top left of C3.0. I assume that means its existing but I want to make sure the water main scope is clear. 3). On sheet C3.1 they show a number of catch basins on top of the southern edge of the storm trap. Are these access risers? They are also shown on C3.1A with pipe going to them which makes more sense. Do these structures need to be deleted on C3.1? 4). Sheet C4.3 alludes to a stockpile area for soils. Is the cost of haul off of the spoils to be included in the site utility installation or can our spoils be stock piled in this area to be shaped by the excavation contractor? 5). I have found an additional question on sheet C3.0. The civil engineer is calling out MH-112 to have a sump pump installed in it. They do have no any type of detail associated with it that I can find on the civil drawings. Can we ask for clarification as to how they want the MH built and the pump installed? Civil 5 questions 101 I have reviewed the drawings and have the following questions: 1). It appears that the total building square footage with above mezzanine and below mezzanine protection may be greater than 52,000 sf. This means an additional fire sprinkler riser/control valve will be needed. Please confirm how or where you would prefer for the (2) systems to be separated. 2). In the Archival Storage area, the bottom of steel appears to be approximately 11-0 above finished floor (high side) which will limit the height of storage for this area. No specified storage types, storage arrangements (i.e. in racks with or without solid shelves or height of storage) or commodity classifications were provided. Please confirm the hydraulic design density/sprinkler spacing for the archival storage area 3). Please confirm that seismic and/or earthquake bracing is not required for the fire sprinkler piping. 4). Are the IDF rooms (C117, S149 and F171) to be protected by the wet sprinkler system? 5). Please confirm the storage arrangement/commodity classifications of any stored products and the hydraulic design criteria and sprinkler spacing for the Haz. Mat Storage/Autopsy room C135, Freezer C136 and Cooler C137. 6).

Arch 108 1). For any of the items removed from the equipment schedule, designated supplied by owner, whom would we contact to bid these items directly? 2). One thing I wanted to point out is the schedule is requesting a 150 PSI compressor. This compressor will product about 150 PSI but after all of the pressure drop from the filters and integrated dryer is accounted for, this will put out 135 PSI. Think that will cover what they are looking for? Arch 2 questions 109 1). Specification section 101100 “Visual Display Units” is included and describes markerboards. No markerboards can be found on the drawings. Please confirm markerboards are to be provided and indicate sizing and location on the drawings. 2).

Please clarify all the locations for the corner guards listed in section 102600. 17). None of the room numbers are listed in the floor and wall finish plans, which make it difficult to match them up with the finish schedule on drawing A9.11. Please provide room numbers. Arch 8 questions 121 18). Addendum 3 mentioned room 152, 153, 162, & 163 to have the high performance coatings and all other rooms to have polished concrete. If that is the case, then revised drawing A9.12 with the hatch patterns for those rooms 19). What is the size of the CMU below the lockers and benches referenced in detail T1.2? Please clarify. 20).

That would be the second part of A3.1B. Looking at drawing M2.1C just shows air reels. Are there cord or oil on that drawing? Arch 127 We received Addendum 04 yesterday for the referenced project, and it states that some of the issues will be addressed in the addendum to be issued on 1/13/20. Our estimator feels that this is a fair amount of information we’re waiting for and since the addendum will be issued only three days before the bid, he’s asking if there will be a time extension? Arch 128 Per spec section 230900 BAS system below are the listed manufacturers. Can Siemens equipment be used? As they are capable of furnishing an equivalent product and capable of installing it. Arch 129 I have had many call from the trades asking when the documents will be complete, so they can finalize figures. When will we see answers to civil and mechanical questions that have been around since the beginning of the release of documents, if the 13th, that will not be enough time to understand the new work scope and revise figures. How are we to provide VE Options when we can’t get base bid requirements settled. Will the bid be extended? Arch 130 In addendum #4 there was a revised Specification 112100 issued. In the revised specification is a narrative description for the fuel station but no actual equipment specification or plans. Understanding this there is not enough information to provide a bid for the fuel station. Are more plans and specification being issued for the fuel station? Arch 131 Is there a spec for the security cameras and equipment available? Or is this being furnished and installed by owner? Electrical 132 1). Is the casework on A8.12 stainless steel per Specification 123570 or metal casework per Specification 123553.13? Addendum#2 - RFI #51 SS-1 is going to be Metal Counter Top.

N/A There is no finish schedule for laminate, can you provide color name and manufacture or standard? Arch 133 1). On both stairs....for a single span stair with no intermediate platform the allowable height per code is 12' from finished to floor to finished floor. The height from the floor to mezzanine floor is 15'-6". Code requires an intermediate landing on these stairs. To comply with code the stairs will need to be redesigned, or is there a code the architect can provide that allows this design? How are we to proceed? 2). On all railings and guardrails...all steel post need to be upsized to a minimum of 1.1/2" diameter pipe. A 1" diameter post is not structurally sound. Also the top handrail is bigger than the post. Per drawings post are 1" diameter and handrails are 1.1/2" diameter. Is this correct? Arch 2 questions 134 1). Drawing A8.12 has a detail for the workbench. Where is this workbench located? 2). Drawing Sheet A8.5 Det. 4 and A7.21 Dets. 1-4 call for tile type CT-1. The finish schedule on A9.11 calls for tile type CT-2 for these locations. Please confirm the required finish 3). Ceramic Tiling Spec 093013 section 2.5C calls for waterproof membrane under Tile type CT-2 only (CT-3 removed by addendum #2).

Specification section 122413 “Roller Window Shades” indicates the shade band material of the window shades to be “Light-filtering fabric and light- blocking fabric. Refer to drawings”. No additional information is given on the drawings. Additional information including manufacturer will be necessary for an accurate proposal. Please provide this additional information. Arch 6 questions 135 7). The section views of the cabinets on the Sheet A7.28 Dets. 2 and 3 & A8.11 Det. 1 show these base cabinets with stainless steel legs. However, the specs in section 123570 – 4 under part H states “provide metal toe space, fully enclosed…with no open gaps or pockets” which I assume refer to a closed toe- kick and not legs. Is it fine to quote these with our standard closed toe-kicks, not the legs? Arch 136 1). Since the walk-in freezers have a suspended ceiling has the structure above them been engineered to support the added weight of the ceiling panels? Arch +1 137 1). Sheet C4.3 of the civil plans shows a berm to be made with any additional soil left over after construction, but minimum topsoil depth, and seeding instructions for this area are not provided on the civil drawings or shown on the landscape plans.

Arch +1 144 Per RFI #51 the question was asked about countertop SS-1 and the response provided was to refer to spec section 123616 Metal Countertops. Per the metal countertop specification the tops are stainless steel and are shown in the drawings as S/S per sheet A7.28 not SS-1. SS-1 countertops are referred to in specifications 123661 Solid Surface Countertops, Part 2- Products. Please confirm that all Plastic Laminate Casework is to receive solid surface tops (SS-1) and Healthcare and Metal Casework are to receive wood and stainless steel tops per the drawings as indicated. Arch 145 Item # 21 on Equipment list Drawing from Addendum #4 - Part # noted is for Grease dispenser, not trans tank - We believe this should be 1135-017 please clarify Arch 146 What is the height of the corner guards Question regarding the precast structural concrete What is the mortar color at the thinbrick joints? I assume it is a backup mix grey color. Arch 147 We are not sure if the stairs as designed meet code due to the height. The height from finished floor to finished floor of mezzanine is 15'-6" per drawings. Code requires metal pan stairs over 12' from finished floor to finished floor must have an intermediate landing. Please advise. Arch +1 148 Are the window shades motorized or manual , also where in the prints does it show what windows receive shades? Arch 149 Pallet Racking (Equipment Tag “6”) 2. Basis of Design: GLOBAL INDUSTRIAL , MODEL # 796600, WITH 6 LEVELS OF RACKShanks This rack has 2 shelves per rack and the spec calls for 6 levels. - Do they want 3 racks, which would be 6 shelves or 6 racks that would be 12 shelves? Arch 150 There are areas on the Civil drawings that are slated to have blanket and seed that are not Identified on the Landscape Drawings ... ie. The Stockpile berm and areas around the detention pond....Should we assume that all these areas will need to be additionally reseeded with a quality turf seed by the landscaper? Or are these areas covered under the excavators scope. Civil 151 We are the local commercial plumbing rep for Grundfos and would like to quote this project, however, I cannot actual performance specifications for the booster system. I have looked at the schedule on the plans and the booster specification. In the specification, it says XXX gpm at XXX PSIG. Can you please help? Thank you. Plumbing 152 Concrete note 7 on sheet S1.1 states that the interior slab on grade is to be placed in strips of maximum 30’ width. This will require several additional pours at an extreme cost, and is not typical for current placement methods. Please clarify if this construction joint placement limit will be required. Structure 153 Grease – is it going to be a roll around 400lb 55 gal drum? Grease reels? Arch 154 1). Is the Roof Hatch to be 3’ x 3’ (aluminum) per the Roof Accessories specification or 3’-0” x 5-4” as shown on roof plan? 2). Is there Roofing work on the Salt Dome?

Replace Brick Veneer <BRK-01> with Aluminum Composite Material Panel <ACM-01>. a). Question: Please confirm that BRK-01 does not exist? It is not listed on Elevation Finish Legend on A5.1-A5.3. b). Face Brick Veneer BRK-02 is indicated on the Elevation Finish Legend with a symbol of brick with a diagonal line hatch through it. It is mainly shown at upper areas by the Type B windows. However, there are a couple of lower areas where <BRK-02> is indicated with an arrow pointing (by the lower Type A windows). But, there is not a diagonal line hatch shown. This is confusing. Is it BRK-02 or isn’t it? Please correct, so where ever BRK-02 is used, it is indicated with a diagonal line hatch through brick pattern. i). Does Alternate 2 and 3 include replacing BRK-02 at lower areas around Type A windows (that are not hatched) with ACM? Arch 160 2). Alternate No 4: In lieu of HPC-01, provide PCON-01. Polished concrete specification was removed. What is the flooring in lieu of HPC-01? 3). Are we to paint tectum? In Alternate No 6, tectum in lieu of painted acoustical roof deck, the description says: Color: White. Confirm that the tectum is to come prefinished white, and a field applied finish is not required? 4). Are we to paint/stain the dumpster enclosure or transformer/generator enclosure? 5).

The bid form has an allowance for moisture mitigation, are we to assume that is for the entire project or is that for above and beyond what is required for the project? 5). The bid form has an allowance for access doors, is there for all of them because there are a number of them shown in the drawings? 6). Is a project sign required and if so what would it be? 7). Spec 017700 indicates pest control, what is required? Arch 7 questions 162 8). The bid form indicates we are to include a schedule with our bid, is this correct and if so is this something we can include within 214 hours like a number of other items on the bid form? due to the coordination with subs/suppliers this reequirement would be very hard to meet unless a basic schedule would be ok. 9).

How is the CT 1 and Ct 2 wall tile meeting the epoxy cove base? What type of metal transition should be installed at bottom of tile? What finish (ex stainless steel) 2). CT 1 is drawn where CT 2 is indicated, finish schedule on Addenda 2 confirms CT 2, drawings depict Ct 1- huge cost difference- Please provide some direction Arch 2 questions 164 West elevation detail 1/A5.3 shows three (3) type B windows between column lines 7-9 at the Sally Port On sheet A2.1A the floor plan for this area does not indicate any type B windows. Please advise if there are window on the west elevation of the Sally Port C138. Arch 165 The floor plan (drawing A10.1) shows (4) different locations for the JD5000 cadaver lift (keynote 5). Typically institutions will only have one or two of these lifts to pull the body trays off of the racks and then set the tray onto a separate cart which they then use to move the trays to other areas. Please clarify the number of cadaver lifts required. There are no carts listed in the equipment schedule. Are they owner furnished? Mopec does not recommend using the cadaver lifts to move the trays throughout the building. It is better and more safely accomplished with the use of carts. Arch 166 1). RFI LOG # 157 says Ct 2 3x6 is to be used in autopsy room 2). RFI Log #92 says all tile is to be 12x24? Which is correct? 3). Is Epoxy grout finishes required in Autopsy Room if Ct 2 is not being used? 4). Could you send another RFI to architect about clarification of Memo 5 that is part of Addendum 5, regarding Security Camera Requirements? Memo 5 requires that: “[…] Multi-Use Facility's surveillance system head end must connect with the Sheriff's Office surveillance systems and equipment.” This memo does not identify what brand name and type of the existing system in Sheriff’s Office is and therefore we don’t know what system to propose. Arch 4 questions 167 RFI #146 states the thinbrick mortar joints are to match TBRK-02(Georgetown), what about the joints at TBRK-01(Valley Forge)? Are we to match TBRK-01 also where this brick is indicated? Arch 169 1). General Concrete Note 7 on S1.1 states slabs must be placed in strips of 30 foot maximum width. Notes on S2.1 state “provide control or construction joints per Arch and at 15’ maximum”. Do we need to place the slabs in 30 foot strips? 2). The same Note states that structural fibers can replace the specified WWF if approved by the Engineer. The Engineer wrote the Note so can we assume we can use fibers? If so we need a spec and quantity of fibers per CY. Structure 2 questions 170 Question 80 clarifies that we are supposed to provide (630 qty) 2’x4’ tectum panels (NOT 4’ x 8’ panels). This would equal 5,040 SF. It is not enough material to cover rooms C130, S162, S163, S164, F180 and F183 as stated in Alternate 6. These (6) rooms total to approx. 19,316 square feet. (SEE ATTACHED) Either 09 51 13, 2.2, A. 4. is correct (it indicates that the tectum panels are 4 x 8 panels)…. 630 qty x 32 SF = 20,160 SF Or The quantity of (630) 2 x 4 panels is incorrect. (And it should be around 2,415 qty 2’ x 4’ panels) 2,415 x 8 SF = 19,320 SF As it’s stated, ceiling guys are quoting (630) 2’ x 4’ panels (as instructed to do so in Question 80), but I think it is incorrect. It won’t be enough tectum. Arch 2 questions 172 A penetrating hardener is mentioned in Spec Section 033000. Spec section 099123 includes the sealer work for the sealed concrete floors listed on the Room Finish Schedule and Floor Finish Plans. Please identify where a hardener is required if at all. Arch 176 1). Please also clarify the storage shelves. Question 117 states: “Combine 3 units to create 6 shelves and strictly adhere to manufacturer’s recommendations. No exceptions. Provide all accessories required for fully functional system.” The Specified Global Industrial Model #796600 is 120” tall. They are not designed to stack. Stacking (3) high would be 30 feet tall. Bottom of roof deck is 29’-0” Bottom of joists is approx. 25’ at high point, and 22’ at low point. 2/A6.1 shows shelves that appear to be stacked 4 high and 16’ tall. 2). Does it anchor to the wall? Arch 2 questions 173 One additional note on Addendum 5 that was sent out yesterday. In the middle of that addendum are Civil Drawings, however they were formatted we are unable to print the drawings. Can those be separated? Arch 174 Please clarify Addendum #6 item 161. 4 if the allowance is the only figure required for Moisture Mitigation or if its in addition to what we are to include? Arch 175 We need the 3D revit drawings of all disciplines to do the level of detail (LOD) 350 (MEPF structural and architectural). Will these be made available? Arch 178 Catch basin at the intersection of north driveway to the parking lot was removed from C3.0 in the revised Civil drawings included with Addendum 5, issued on 01.13.20. Where did the Catch Basin go? If it was removed then shouldn't pipe run change as well? Civil 177 For the video system, since the manufacture that the County Sheriffs office has is out of business can we install the new video management system that they are using instead of the expired one? Arch +1 179 1). What is the existing access control system that Kane County uses? Do we need to use this same system for the Multi-Use Facility? 2). What is the existing Video Management System that Kane County uses? Do we need to use this same system for the Multi-Use Facility? Arch 2 questions 180 1). Addendum #5 Earth Moving specification indicates that the owner is hiring the Geotechnical Testing Agency, but Contract Drawings S2.1 Note 5 says the GC should retain the Geotech Engineer. Please confirm if owner is hiring independent testing agency for all trades (ie: excavation, concrete, masonry & steel). 2) Drawing E3.1 has (4) exterior cameras but single line drawing E4.5 has (6) and refers to drawing E3.1 for location. Please clarify. 3) Drawing E100 has (3) new lift gate locations but E5.1 Site Electrical and C2.0 Site Geometry only has (2). Please clarify. 4) Site Utility Drawing C3.0 and C3.1 do not show the new electrical medium voltage utility ducts. Electrical Site Plan shows the medium voltage utility ducts but does not indicate location of tie-in. Please clarify. 5). Please clarify on the install method. The RFI 80 I believe clarified to used 630 pcs 2’x4’ in Alternate 6 and mentions direct mount, HOWEVER, Armstrong has different ways to direct mount and the specs say to have a “C-40” mounting (someone may not catch this). C-40 mounting is using a 1-1/2” furring along with an infill of 2-1/2” batts insulation in cavity. Obviously a lot more expensive than just what one would think is “direct mount”. Note Armstrong calls all of the various mounting “direct mount”, but they vary in whether or not there is a backer/insulation/furring, etc….and to different thicknesses 6). There are numerous mentions, on the Civil Drawings, of details shown on sheet C601. I cannot find sheet C601.Please provide. Arch +2 6 questions 184 What color PVDF finish do you want for the storefront framing? Arch 185 I have been calling multiple contractors regarding the fencing scope for this project. None of them seem to understand the scope of work clearly. Obviously I have the barrier arms, wood transformer gates, and the wood trash enclosure gates. However they are showing an additional fence on page C2.1A north of the transformer enclosure that seems like it should have been deleted. They then are showing another repetitive fence south of the trash enclosure on page L100. Im also trying to figure out where the impound lot fencing is located. The plans do not note where the impound lot is and It also doesn’t locate where the fence line runs. You indicated it is shown on page L101 but neither myself or the various contractors know where this is located Arch +1 068 8). Doors C101 and F165 in frame type C-2 are interior doors and frames. The elevations call for glass type IG-1 which is 1” insulated glass. Question: Is the glass 1” insulated or ¼” thick and if the glass is 1” insulated do the frames need to be thermally broken on the inside of the building? 9). Window type A shows two 2” horizontal pieces forming a horizontal 4’-0” up from the bottom of the window. Question: Would it be possible to use one standard 4 ½” horizontal at this location instead of two pieces which could lead to water leakage? 10). Can the online project website hosting platform Basecamp (www.basecamp.com) be used in lieu of Submittal Exchange? The features of both websites are very similar. Basecamp would be free to the owner. The use of Submittal Exchange would add cost to the owner. Arch 3 questions 013 Another question on the far west side is the utility trench behind the curb or in the road. I’m looking at sheet C2.0 * Can you verify if the storm piping is in the roadway or behind the curb on the far west side of sheet C2.0, to me it looks to be under the curb? * Looks like we’ll need complete curb removal and replacement, is this correct? * Or is the work west of the east ring road not part of this work, maybe existing? * If we are to do the pathing and piping work can you tell us what is existing to match? Civil 021 I would need more information about Exterior characters and logos on A5.1 and A5.2. Dimensional Lettering -- I am seeing what appears to be dimensional lettering on Plan Sheets A5.1 & A5.2 in the form of lettering mounted to the top of 3 canopies and grand-scale lettering & logos attached to the front of the building in 2 places. None have any measurements and no indication on which are DL- 1 and which are DL-2. Please advise. Arch 022 Also, could you please provide an interior signage schedule. Panel Signage -- The specs give a little info on substrate but the only dimensions I see are "min 4" x 4". There is not enough information to determine exactly how the architect envisions the signs. Can we get a little more detail on what they are planning? Are we to match what is installed in the existing part of the building? If so, can we get images of these pieces? We are happy to develop signage details and schedules, but that is usually done by consulting fee or as part of a contracted job. If the architect will provide a little more info, I am happy to do estimating take-offs. Arch 181 1). Per door schedule on A9.1 Door F180A is labeled as F4, that is a frame label, what type of door is that supposed to be. 2). Per door schedule on A9.1 Door S201B does not have a hardware set listed. Please provide what hardware set is required for this door. 3). For the barrier gates, Site Electrical Plan Sheet E100 in the Civil Drawings shows (3) new locations around the new building but does not call out power requirements for the relocated gates further to the west. Site Electrical Plan E5.1 in the Electrical Drawings only calls out (2) new gates directly to the east and west of the new building and does not call anything out for the gate to the south or for the relocated gate to the west. Please confirm, how many new gates should be provided 4). Please confirm where power/control conduits should be run to for the relocated gate on C2.0 as this is not called out on Sheet E5.1 in the Electrical Drawings 5). Please confirm where power/control conduits should be run to for the new gate shown on E100 as this is not called out on Sheet E5.1 in the Electrical Drawings 6). The photo of the existing gate shows cameras on (2) separate poles, are these to be relocated as well or will the owner handle that scope? 7). Please provide foundation details for the new barrier gates Unspecified 7 questions 182 8). Note #5 on S2.1 requires the contractor to retain a geotechnical engineer for field testing for building excavating. Specification section 312000, section 3.19 states that the owner will be responsible for geotechnical testing. Is the owner responsible geotechnical engineering and testing? 9). Page 8 of the geotechnical report states: a). “Within building areas, the existing fill soils, encountered to depths of approximately 3½ to 8½ feet below existing grade, should be completely removed to the depth encountered from building areas, and replaced with new engineered fill.” Please confirm this work should be included in our base bid. b).“If Kane County is willing to accept some risk of total and differential settlement and associated long term maintenance, the existing fill material similar to those encountered in the borings extending to depths of approximately 3½ to 8½ feet below the surrounding grade may remain in place below pavements but the subgrade must pass a proofroll under the observation of a CGMT geotechnical engineer or soils technician. At a minimum, the upper 2 feet of existing fill soils should be completely removed from pavement areas and replaced with engineered, granular fill.” Can the existing fill soils be left in place below pavements? Is the 2’-0” of granular required or can clay fill be used? Unspecified 2 questions 183 10). Grading note # 6 on drawing C0.1, allows the contractor to dig a clay borrow pit on site for fill material. Can this clay be used for the engineered fill below the building pad and paved areas? 11). Specification section 312000 – Earth Moving, summary 1.1, doesn’t list excavating for the building foundations and slab on grade. Can you issue a separate specification section for the building foundation and slab on grade work? 12). Specification section 312000 – Earth Moving, section 2.1.J defines engineered fill as a graded mixture of natural or crushed gravel. The soils report and drawing C0.1, indicate that clay is acceptable. Which clarify what can be used for the engineered fill for the building slab and pavement areas. 13). A specification is needed for the showers in the Coroner Locker Rooms. SH-1 is not included on the plumbing fixture schedule on P3.0. 14). RFI Response 107.2 says to provide (1) motorized overhead door however RFI Response 161.2d says no overhead door is required. Please clarify. Unspecified 5 questions
