responsibilities of the District, Bidder and Project Engineer. All the areas that were revised,

removed or added to Exhibit A – Scope Of Services are in red font.

ANSWERS to Pre-Bid Clarifications:

(2 RFI’s were received)

Q: The manufacturer confirms that the return water from the cooler must be plumbed into the

suction side of the circulation pump, as the cooler sump pumps CANNOT overcome flow pressure

on the circulation manifold. The suction side manifold will require plumbing in a new tee, which

will require removal of the existing assembly. Does the district confirm that they will drain the

pools as needed, which will also provide a reduction of TDS? (Aquatic Service, Inc.)

A: Yes, the District will drain the pools as needed.

Q: Sump pump piping will require passage through building walls, louvers, and/or the like.

Does the district confirm that they will core the locations desired for the passage of the

4” SCH80 piping to/from the cooler into the pump room? (Aquatic Service, Inc.)

A: The District will provide the required openings for the new piping into the buildings. The

contractor shall provide a schedule to the district on required timing of when the

openings will be required.
