Question 1
Posted: 6/10/2024
Question: 1. Building dimensions in the Specifications section state the building needs to be 8.5 ft x 30 ft x 10ft but the shipping dimensions need to be 8.4 ft x 34 ft x 10.6 ft in the pricing sheet. Can the building dimensions be confirmed? 2. The specification calls out a 3 hr rated roof but is it acceptable for a 2 hr roof to be used? 3. Can galvanized steel grating be substituted for planking to reduce the costs of the building? 4. Under Explosion Relief Construction it states that the building must be designed to resist an internal pressure of 100 psf, but this does not meet FM Approval Standards. For FM approval the building must be designed to resist 215 psf of internal pressure per standard 6069 and 1-44. Does the building need to meet FM approval standards? 5. The building exterior color requirement is gray in the bid but is a white exterior color acceptable? 6. VA has a state seal program that was not addressed in the bid information provided. This is required for business registered in the state. For the VA state seal to be approved, we will need to be code compliant. The following will need to be added to the quote to achieve this: a. R20 Wall/Ceiling, R10 floor/door insulation is required to meet energy code requirements (based on Comcheck Calculations) b. Panic exit devices are required in H occupancies per IBC Section 1010.2.9 c. Emergency Local Alarm is required per IBC Section 415.5 d. A service outlet is required for Heat/AC maintenance per NEC Section 210.63
Response: Please see updated addendum 1 document with answers to these
