ITB 2026-06 QUESTIONS AND RESPONSES
Q.1 Will the prime contractor be required to perform 50% of the work with own forces or can
they sub out 90% of work? Contract Section 45 Subcontracting?
A.1 Pursuant to Section 45 of the Intent and General Conditions, the Contractor may subcontract
up to fifty percent (50%) of the work under this Contract. No more than fifty percent (50%) of
the work may be subcontracted.
Q.2 Is this a Davis-Bacon project?
A.2 No, this is not a Davis-Bacon project.
Q.3 Will substitutions be allowed for the roof panel, such as Petersen or Sheffield?
A.3 See specification section 012500 for substitution requests.
Q.4 Are the CAD files for this project available? If so, can we receive a copy?
A.4 CAD will be made available after award of the contract.
Q.5 The architectural drawings indicate a 2-inch rib height panel. Based on our experience and
available manufacturer profiles, a 2-inch rib is typically associated with a mechanically seamed panel
system, rather than a snap-lock panel with a clip system. It is unclear whether the design intent is a
mechanically seamed standing seam panel system, or a snap-lock (clip system) panel with a similar
profile. Could you please confirm the intended panel type so we can ensure our proposal aligns with
the project specifications? If a specific manufacturer or profile is required, please advise.
A.5 Note referring to “2 inch” rib height is an error. Contractor to price roof panel listed in
specifications.
Q.6 The Plans Show Wall Hung Lavatories at the Bathrooms. Specs Call for Integral Sinks. If integral
sinks are to be provided, please provide a detail for the Vanity Cabinet/top that will be needed to
properly install these sinks. Please advise.
A.6 The plumbing specifications and schedules include wall-mounted lavatories. See plumbing
specification 224200 section 2.2 and fixture LV-2 on the Plumbing Fixture Schedule on sheet
P4.1.
Q.7 Will the service entrance conduit and conductors be routed to the pedestal provided by the
power company?
A.7 The contractor shall provide two prices for the service entrance feeder between the self-
contained meter and the utility company connection.
Base Bid: Provide service entrance feeder (see Oneline Diagram for size) from the top of the
self-contained meter base to a weatherhead above the roof in rigid galvanized steel conduit.
Leave five (5) feet of conductors from the weatherhead for final connections by the utility
company. Coordinate with the utility company for the overhead secondary feed from a new 3-
phase pole-mounted transformer bank at the right-of-way to the weatherhead. The utility

ADDENDUM NO. 1
company will provide poles and overhead lines to be routed from the existing power pole on
the south-west corner of the lot, east along the southern property line to past the new building
and then north to line-up with the weatherhead.
Additive Alternate #1: Provide service entrance feeder (see Oneline Diagram for size) from the
bottom of the self-contained meter base to below grade in rigid galvanized steel conduit. Route
underground feeder outside of the building footprint on the east and south sides of the building
to the existing power pole located on the south-west corner of the lot. Provide one (1) 24”x24”
quazite box in the underground raceway path. Route raceway and conductors up pole to a
height as required by the utility company. Coordinate with the utility company for the new 3-
phase pole-mounted transformer bank, raceway type on power pole and final connections.
Q.8 Are we to include primary service conducts and a concrete transformer pad?
A.8 See A.7.
Q.9 Do we need to include 100 ft. of secondary service conduit and conductors per the riser diagram?

equipment susceptible to flooding.
A.11 Keep the Service Entrance Rated disconnect switch and the manual transfer switch as two
separate pieces of equipment for now.
Q.12 No interior elevations shown for the interior wall tile locations. Sheet A6.0 is to have them but
none are shown on the sheet. Will these become available?
A.12 See A.13.
Q.13 Finish note 7 on A6.0 states 72" high wainscot of tile on all walls and refers to wall pattern.
Specifically, which walls? Restroom walls only? Please provide patterns and locations for wall tile.
A.13 Note 7 has been deleted, restrooms are not to receive the tile wainscot.
Q.14 Is their soil testing specifically to the septic system? If not, would you consider extension on

10' on center, and the tighter spacing will significantly affect material and labor costs. Please confirm
that 6' O.C. is required, or advise if 10' O.C. is acceptable.
A.18 10’ O.C is acceptable. The technical specification provided and detail has been updated on

system, rather than a snap-lock panel with a clip system. It is unclear whether the design intent is a
mechanically seamed standing seam panel system, or a snap-lock (clip system) panel with a similar
profile. Could you please confirm the intended panel type so we can ensure our proposal aligns with
