Are There Any Other Clauses That Must Be Submitted Because They Are Incorporated Into The Solicitation Even Though They Aren T Explicitly Mentioned In The Instructions On Pages 7-9 Of The Solicitation? no, They Are Referenced In The Instructions On Page 9. can It Be Confirmed That The Superintendent, Cqc System Manager And Ssho All Must Be Different Individuals And That They All Must Be On-site? do Not Need To Be Separate Individuals, But The Individual Assigned For Task(s) Must Have The Qualifications For Each Of The Requirements. this Project Is Expected To Have Workers On Multiple Shifts. Since All Three Of These Functions Must Be On Site Whenever Workers Are Present, The Va Expects Multiple Individuals Assigned To This Project. will A Security Plan Be Required As A Submittal For This Project? a Security Plan Is Required. See Specification 01 00 00 Part 1.6. The Security Plan Can Be Incorporated Into The Safety Plan. 010000 Paragraph 1.13.c Says That Contractors Should Provide As-built Drawings Within 15 Calendar Days After Each Completed Phase. Is This A Specification The Va Is Going To Follow? as-builts Shall Be Maintained Current At All Times, Per Specification 010000 Part 1.13. The Intent Is That The Gc Shall Maintain At All Times, Red-line Markup Drawings Showing All Changes That Deviate From The Design Documents. These As Built Red-line Markup Drawings Will Be Made Available By The Gc In The Field For Compliance As The Project Proceeds Through Construction And Verified Accurate By The Va Cor At Each Phase. Formal Final Submittal To The Va At The End Of The Project. what Does The Va Expect To Have Submitted For Specification 010000 Paragraph 1.13.d? This Is A Specification That Is In All Va Projects But Is Never Addressed/asked For? Does The Use Of Autodesk Construction Cloud Make This An Irrelevant Paragraph? autodesk Construction Cloud Does Not Eliminate, Reduce Or Otherwise Alleviate Specification Requirements. All Provisions In Specification 01 00 00 Part 1.13 Will Be Enforced. The Gc Shall Redline Any Changes Made In The Field That Deviate From The Approved Shop Drawings. The Gc Shall Make The Redline Shop Drawings Available To The Va Cor For Checking And Verification. does The Va Plan To Hold Contractors Accountable To The Exact Wording Of Paragraph 1.14.a Under Specification 010000? Paragraph 1.14.c Seems To Imply That The Requirements Of This Section Are Not Firm. ae Response: Specification 01 00 00 Part 1.14.c Will Be Enforced. Paragraph 1.14c Identifies The Pre-warranty Conference And Should Not Be Construed To Imply That The Requirements Of Section 1.14a Are Not Firm. does The Va Want 010000 Paragraph 1.14.f Submitted As A Submittal Item? yes. which Items Does The Va Require The Warranty Tags Listed In 010000 Paragraph 1.14.f For? Warranty Tags Are Required For All Appropriate Equipment. Warranty Documentation Is Required For All Warrantied Items.â  In Addition To Warranty Documentation, Warranty Tags Are Required On Mep Equipment For Maintenance Purposes.â  Specific Equipment Requiring A Warranty Tag Will Be Identified By The Va Cor. regarding 010000, Paragraph 1.22, Which Addresses O&m Documentation: Does Paragraph A Imply That O&m Documentation Is Required Only When Specified In Individual Sections? For Instance, 260923, Paragraph 1.4.2, Explicitly Calls For Manuals, While 260533, Paragraph 1.4, Does Not Mention Manuals. Does This Mean O&m Documentation Is Not Needed For 260533? o&m Documentation Is Required As Detailed In The Various Sections Of The Specifications And As Specified In 01 00 00, Part 1.22. concerning 010000 Paragraph 1.22.b, Does The Government Want 4 Hard Copies And 1 Compact Disc Of Every O&m Manual, Or Is A .pdf Acceptable? upload Electronic Copies To Autodesk Construction Cloud, And 2 Hard Copies Are To Be Delivered. concerning 010000 Paragraph 1.22.c, Does The Government Have A List Of Equipment They Would Like Training On For This Project, Or Should We Assume That It Is Needed Only Where It Is Explicitly Called For In Individual Specification Sections? o&m Documentation And Training Is Required As Detailed In The Various Sections Of The Specifications And As Specified In 01 00 00, Part 1.22. concerning 010000 Paragraph 1.29 Does This Paragraph Indicate That The Va Will Not Accept Photographs Taken By The Contractor And Submitted In A Haphazard Fashion? We Just Want To Be Certain That All Contractors Will Be Held To This Specification S Standards. all Contractors Shall Abide And Be Held To The Same Requirements For Photographic Documentation. The Gc Must Maintain A Complete Record Of All Stages And Details Of Existing, As-built, Progress And Final Conditions Of Construction. There Is No Requirement For Using A Professional Photographer However The Gc Must Submit Electronic Photos In A Clear, High Resolution, Suitably Lit, Concise, And Well-organized Manner As Determined By The Va Cor. The Photos Are To Be Date, Time Stamped And Categorized And Identified In Such A Way To Allow Context And Clear Identification Of Relevant Subject Matter, And Exact Location. All Photos Shall Be Uploaded In Autodesk Construction Cloud Application (autodesk Build). concerning 013323 Paragraph 1.3.a, We Realize This Specification Is Written To Provide Wiggle Room, But Will The Va Provide A Submittal Register That Is All Inclusive To The Best Of Their Ability Only Leaving Off Items That Must Be Submitted Due To Inadvertent Oversight? the Va Will Provide The Initial Submittal Register In Electronic Format. However, As Listed In 1.3 A, The Gc Is Responsible For Supplying All Submittals Required By The Contract Documents. are 013323 Paragraphs 1.6.d And E Obsolete Because Of The Use Of Autodesk? yes, These Sections Are Not Applicable. All Submittals Will Be Submitted And Tracked Through Autodesk Build. 013323, Paragraph 1.8.a States That O&m Documents Must Be Submitted Throughout The Project. Although This Specification Has Always Existed, It Has Not Been Consistently Followed On Va Projects. Will This Requirement Be Strictly Enforced? yes, This Section Will Be Enforced. we Couldn't Find Any Specification Requiring A Closeout Binder That Consolidates All O&m Documents. Is The Expectation To Submit O&m Documents Per Individual Spec Section Within 30 Days Of Equipment Arrival And Then Resubmit Reviewed Documents As Individual Submittals? Or Does The Va Expect A Final Binder Containing All O&m Documentation At The Project's End? If The Latter, Where Is This Requirement Specified? please Follow 01 33 23 Part 1.8. for 014500 Paragraph 1.3.a.1, Please Define The Government S Expectations For What They D Like Submitted As An Interim Cqc Plan, Cqc Plan And For Additional Requirements For Dqc Plan. see Specification 01 45 00 For Cqc Requirements. Dqc Plan Is Not Required. will Contractors Be Held Accountable To Provide The Environmental Protection Plan Outlined In 015719 Paragraph 1.4.a.1? yes. will Contractors Be Held Accountable To Provide The Demolition Debris Management Plan Called For In 017419 Paragraph 1.5.b? yes. will Contractors Be Held Accountable To Provide A Sustainability Action Plan Called For In 018113 Paragraph 1.5.b? yes. will Contractors Be Held Accountable To Provide An Iaq Management Plan Called For In 018113 Paragraph 1.5.d? yes. will Contractors Be Held Accountable For Providing The Submittals Called Out In 018113 Paragraph 1.5.g? yes. can It Be Confirmed That The Va Will Provide The Commissioning Agent For This Project? confirmed. some Specification Sections, Like 024100, Do Not Include Paragraphs Listing Required Submittals. Can The Va Confirm That Submittals Are Only Required Where Explicitly Specified Under A Heading Or Subheading Labeled 'submittals'? If Not, Could You Provide A List Of All Submittals The Va Expects That Are Not Clearly Defined Under Such Headings? the Contractor Is Responsible For The Submittal Register. The Va Will Provide The Initial Submittal Register In Electronic Format. However, As Listed In 1.3 A, The Gc Is Responsible For Supplying All Submittals Required By The Contract Documents. paragraphs Like 1.4.e In Spec Section 051200 Require Certificates Confirming That Each Product Complies With The Specifications. This Requirement Appears In Multiple Spec Sections. Is This A Submittal The Government Expects From Contractors? If So, Could The Government Provide A More Detailed Explanation Of What Is Required, Beyond The Guidance In 013323, Paragraph 1.2.g? yes, These Typical Submittals Are Required. a Letter From The Installer On Their Company Letterhead Is Common. 083616.13 Paragraph 1.3.e Is An Example Of A Submittal That Rarely If Ever Is Expected By The Va. Is This Submittal Required? If It Is, Is The Va Asking For A Letter From The Manufacturer? yes, And A Letter From The Manufacturer On Their Letterhead Is Sufficient. is O&m Data Required For Section 117300? The Individual Specification Does Not Mention The Need For O&m Data. If It Is Required, Could You Specify Which Section And Paragraph Indicate This Requirement? important: The Patient Lift Equipment Will Be Purchased Separately By The Va And Is Not Part Of This Contract And Therefore The Gc Is Not Responsible For The O&m Data For This Item. The Gc Is Responsible For The Design And Installation Of The Support Structure For The Lift System, Coordinated With The Va S Vendor. See Detail B5 On Drawing S-503 For The Patient Lift System Support Structure And Notes Referencing The Design And Installation Requirements. A Submittal Is Required For The Design Of The Support Structure. are Hard Copies Of Submittals Required For Specification 211313 Or Is A .pdf Acceptable? all Submittals Shall Be Submitted Electronically Through Autodesk Construction Cloud. are O&m Documents Required For 211313? If They Are, What Paragraph Requires Them? yes, Per Spec Section 211313 Paragraph 1.4.6.c are There Any Submittals Specifically Required Under Specification 220511? While Paragraph 1.4 Discusses Submittals, It Seems More Like A Set Of Instructions For Submissions In Individual Specification Sections For Division 22. Additionally, Paragraph 1.4.b Adds Confusion By Mentioning Labeling Items Submitted Under This Section. Could You Clarify Whether There Are Any Submittals Expected Directly Under 220511? yes. Submittals Are Required In This Section. 1.4a Gives Instruction How The Submittals Submitted For This Section Should Be In Accordance With Section 01 33 23. 1.4b Is The Naming Convention Of How The Submittals Should Be Sent In. All Submittals Should Be Sent In With Same Or Similar Naming Convention. Section Number, Section Name, Applicable Paragraph Identification. 220511 1.4, I And J. Coordinated Shop Drawings. 220511 1.4, K. Rigging Plan, If Applicable. 220511 2.8, B And C. Id Tags For All Division 22 Items Can Be Submitted Under This Label. 220511 2.8, E. Valve Tags And Valve Lists. 220511 2.11. Pipe And Equipment Supports Can Be Submitted Under This Label. Note That The Requirements Of 130541 Seismic Restraint For Non-structural Components Still Applies. important Note: All Items Submitted Under Other Division 22 Specs Must Also Be Fully Compliant With This Specification. does The Government Expect Contractors To Follow Specification 220511 Paragraph 1.4.f? yes. what Is Meant By 220511 Paragraph 1.4.h? the Section Defines The Specifications To Submit The List Materials/equipment. However, As Long As All Items Listed Are Properly Submitted, The Albany Va Is Fine With These Items Being Submitted Under 220511. does The Government Expect A Submittal For 220511 Paragraph 1.4.k? if Rigging Is Needed For Any Division 22 Equipment, Then A Rigging Plan Must Be Submitted. what Does 220511, Paragraph 1.4.k, Apply To? Does It Imply That All Division 22 Specification Sections Require O&m Data Submissions, Even If Not Explicitly Stated In The Specific Sections? For Example, Is An O&m Manual Required For 220519, Even Though Paragraph 1.4 Of 220519 Doesn T Mention It? this Question Appears To Apply To 220511, 1.4, Paragraph L. submit In Accordance With 01 00 00 Per Instructions. does Paragraph 1.4.m Of Spec 220511 Apply Since The Commissioning Agent Is Not A Subcontractor Of The Gc? the Commissioning Agent Will Have Access To Autodesk Build, Which Will Satisfy This Requirement. does Paragraph 1.5.g Of 220511 Apply To All Of Division 22 Or Only To 220511? far Clause 52.246-21 Applies To The Entire Contract. paragraph 1.7.b Of 220511 Requires The Submission Of Reviewed Copies Of O&m Data. However, Specifications Like 220519, 220711, And 221400 Don T Explicitly Require The Initial Submission Of O&m Data But Do Reference Compliance With Paragraph 1.7 Of 220511. How Are Contractors Expected To Follow Paragraph 1.7 Of 220511 By Submitting Reviewed O&m Documents If They Weren T Initially Required?
