Specification Section: 09 69 00 Drawing(s): Varies

1. The access floor is scheduled to receive field applied Static Dissipative Resilient Tile by

division 9 section " static control resilient flooring" [ Section 09 69 00] Section 2.3 FLOOR PANEL COVERINGS. Our access floor supplier has stated the following: “This is a very bad idea, field applied finishes that are attempting a one to one floor covering to raised floor panel application are full of problems, very expensive, not installing under factory conditions, and splitting responsibility between two trades. I saw this attempted at a Verizon Project in Northern Massachusetts, finished product was horrible. It will be cheaper, and look 100% better letting the raised floor manufacturer handle this in one package”. Please review with an intention of approving a factory applied floor finish.

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION #1: ELECTRONIC ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM

To: Nicholas Semyanko: [email protected] FROM: Jonathan Sygrove, Estimator DATE: July 16, 2019 PROJECT: Additions & Renovations, Windsor Police Facility Question:

Please see the RFIs below:

• Item E on page 3 of the Electronic Access Control System (28 10 00) states that the fire alarm system by others but Item B of the Electronic Safety and Security Spec (28 10 00) states that the fire alarm addressable modules and relays will be by the security vendor. Please confirm whether the general contractor is to include the fire alarm system within their proposal or not. (Please note that there does not appear to be a fire alarm spec)

Thank You, Jonathan Sygrove, Estimator / PM Response: The fire alarm system is not included as part of the security system specification, but the integration of

the security system with the fire alarm system is the responsibility of the security contractor. This

includes the electronic status of the door upon fire alarm activation, fail safe vs. fail secure.

Project: ADDITIONS AND RENOVATIONS, WINDSOR POLICE FACILITY 110 ADDISON ROAD WINDSOR, CT

Question:

Please see RFI below:

Referencing A175 Mobile Shelving

- Each Elevation is stated as G which I believe the end static sections should be elevation F that

are 12” D. Can you please confirm this?

- In the A175 Mobile System Drawing the sections are labeled as 36” W and on the Elevations G &

F they are labeled as 42” W. Can you please confirm the width of each section and total length

of the carriages?

- Can you please confirm that this is Double Face Shelving with center stops vs. back to back?

Referencing A158 Mobile Evidence Shelving

- Shelving Elevations A & B are Weapons Cabinets. These cabinets come as a standard size 42” W

x 16” D. Can you confirm this will be sufficient?

- The Shelving Widths are stated as 4’ Wide on the elevations but 42” W on the mobile system

drawing. Can you confirm the desired shelving widths? The Carriages will have to be the same

length for the rail to match up and we will need 42” W sections for elevations A & B to add UWR

Weapons Cabinets. Will a standard of 3 42” W sections be ok?

- On A & B there is a note for 40 stock cups and 15 pistol pegs per cabinet. In the 42” W cabinet

the most we will be able to fit is 20 stock cups and 15 pistol pegs. Will this be ok?
