Q&A/RFI:

  • Does the existing gas line on the roof need to be removed?
    Yes, the gas line needs to be removed and properly disposed of/recycled.  It must be capped at the roof penetration.
     
  • Can a 120v HPWH heater be specified?
    Yes, a 120v heat pump water heater on a dedicated circuit with a minimum 60gal capacity may be specified.  Per current docs, 240v is OK to specify as well.
  • References to sections 230800, 230593, 234000, 230548, 230513 and 230501 within spec section 238119 should all refer to spec section 230000
  • The adjacent AC transit parking lot on the North side of the building will be made available for crane access
  • Our current HVAC controls consultant is Jezrahiah Farley jfarley@iqcontrols.net. Feel free to reach out to him in relation to your bid and/or include him as a sub (not required)
  • The project will require a construction access permit for the crane to lift equipment onto the roof from the adjacent AC Transit parking lot. AC Transit access to the lot is 24/7, so a traffic control plan allowing car access through the unobstructed gate will be required. StopWaste is in contact with the appropriate AC Transit staff and will facilitate the permit application, for which the selected contractor will be responsible.
