Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document contains responses to Requests for Information (RFIs) related to Project #657-22-112JC for the preparation of new Cath Labs at the St. Louis VA Medical Center.

• Ceiling Framing: Note 01.02 on Sheet 1AE-102 should refer to Keyed Note 09.02, not 09.01, for ceiling framing.
• ICRA Vestibule: The primary ICRA vestibule for Room B508A is shown as new/used within the existing GWB opening. Alternate ICRA filtration for Level IV is in corridor H509, potentially negating the need for a temporary ICRA barrier to Control 1 B509.
• Unistrut Reusability: The responsibility for verifying the reusability of unistrut lies with the GC's miscellaneous metal fabricator, not the owner's structural engineer. The AE's engineer will verify the structure on-site for load requirements.
• Structural Steel: Lab 2 should not require additional structural bracing. Sheet 01-EK-5563 PHILIPS sheet SD4 provides details. The contractor's steel fabricator must submit shop drawings for approval.
• Sheet Labeling: Note #26.09 on Sheet 1-AE-103 should be note 26.07, as shown on Sheet 1-AE-104. Ceiling Type legend mark ACT 48 should be ACT-1.
• Acoustical Ceiling Tile: All ceilings in Labs 1 and 2 are to be demoed and replaced with ACT-1 Calla health zone tile, as indicated on drawings and the Material Schedule on Sheet 1-AE-05.
• Laminar Flow System: The laminar flow system is existing. No shop drawings are available. The contractor must provide a balance report of existing and final air flow conditions. The manufacturer is Chicago Faucets.

These clarifications address specific details regarding materials, installation, structural requirements, and existing systems, which may impact bidder's understanding of scope and material selection. No changes to proposal deadlines or submission rules are indicated.
