Replace Roofs Building 69 and 139 Project No. 542-23-201, Solicitation 36C24426B0010 Amendment No. 002 Additional Contractor Questions and VA responses (bold). Please provide a copy of the phase 1 asbestos survey/report (or any applicable hazardous materials report) covering the scope of work for this project. This can be found in the Design Narrative - Appendix D The taper drawing on sheet A-105 shows a Y-panel start at the roof drain with a starting thickness of 1½-inch (R-8.6). The taper drawing on sheet A-110 shows an X-panel start at the roof drain with a starting thickness of ½-inch (< R-3). This contradicts with Specification Section 07 22 00, paragraph 2.1.A.2 which requires an R-10 minimum (or 1¾-inch) at any location. Which taper should be provided, the ones shown in the plans, or that which is in the specifications? The tapered insulation layouts included in the drawings are provided to show intended slope of the finished roof. These do not include information about a base layer which will be required on each building to achieve the required R-values: minimum R-10 and overall average R-33 as required in the specification refer to section 072200 2.1 A.  Tapered insulation shop drawing submittal shall include evidence of calculated average R-value meeting this minimum requirement. Please provide a typical roof system detail for the shingle assembly similar to that shown on Detail 2/A-503 for the low-slope assembly. Where does the composite nail base specified in Section 07 22 00, paragraph 2.4.D get installed? Please specify the thickness required. This was taken from the VA.TIL specs we had left this in the specifications for the penthouse shingled roof.  VA requires adherence with the specification. For the skylight removal on Building 139, Details 2 & 3/S-104 appear to indicate that a new raised deck will be installed approximately 14-inches above the existing roof. This would create a base flashing condition. Sheet A-107 does not show this raised area. Will the new structural deck at the skylight removal be flush with the existing deck, or will it be raised? If raised, please provide details showing the roof flashing and termination conditions at this area. The design intent is for the roof deck infill to be placed on the existing curbs and be raised as shown in the detail on S104. This allows for the 6" cold form to be installed to support the new ceiling within these skylights. The flashing detail is similar to Detail 4 found on sheet A503. Section 07 31 13, paragraph 2.1.A refers to Section 09 06 00 for the shingle Basis of Design. The 09 06 00 specification states the shingle size, shape, and manufacturer are to be selected. Please provide a basis of design for the shingles. Refer to section 073113 2.2, for requirements. Will snow guards be required on the shingle roof? There are currently snow guards installed in the shingle roof only above the penthouse doorway but not the entire perimeter. VA requires to maintain s…
