Yes - The data cables currently located above the access hatch on the 7th floor are to be relocated by the contractor. 6.What are the hours during which the equipment can be brought to the 7th floor and lifted through the access hatch? After normal working hours - 4:30PM 7.In the elevator equipment room, there are a number of signs posted that designate the areas around the equipment as confined spaces. Does the space still qualify as a confined space if the elevator under construction is isolated from the moving parts of the adjacent in-service elevators? Are there any permit-required confined spaces on this project? The confined spaces of the elevator equipment room are designated that way only for protection of unauthorized personnel in this area. The elevator room does not have a confined space. Only the pits and the access hatch located on the 8th floor are classified as confined spaces. 8.There is an asbestos spec in the bid documents yet under the General Project Notes, Note #19 on Drawing 01-A001 states asbestos and lead are not anticipated to exist in the work area. Why is there an asbestos spec in the bid documents if no asbestos is anticipated to be encountered? >>> AEW Response: Specification was included as a reference should any unexpected ACM be discovered during construction. The specification section can be ignored until such a time would arise. 9.Drawing 01-AD101 Demolition Note #3 describes work that is to be performed at each floor level. The Demolition Plan on this same drawing shows this keynote by elevators P-3 and P-2. It does not show by elevators S-4 and F-1. Does demolition keynote #3 apply to elevator S-4 and F-1? >>> AEW Response: Yes, keynote #3 should be applied to ALL elevators in the project. 10.Does the warranty period start for each elevator once it is turned back over to the government? Yes, when the VA accepts ownership of the elevator and begins use of the elevator, the warranty period will begin. 11.Which company currently holds the service agreement on the elevators with the VA? Thyssen Krupp 12.The Statement of Work Elevator Preventive Maintenance and Repair Service dated 4/2/15 specifies that the passenger elevators are to be inspected weekly and the freight elevators are to be inspected semi-monthly. The actual elevator spec Section 3.10, Part B, Number 1 states "Bi-weekly systematic examination of equipment." Are the elevators to be inspected weekly or bi-weekly? Weekly End of Document
