QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ITB 2022-03 Interior/Exterior Door Replacement – Dive Locker QUESTION 1 Project Description calls for the removing and replacing of doors, frames, hinges, handles and door closures. On Detail K in ADDITIONAL INFORMATION it calls for existing lock cylinders are to be reused by the bidder. Are we re-using just the cylinders and replacing the handles? Or are we re-using the handle and locksets in its entirety? ANSWER 1 We are reusing the lock cylinder only. QUESTION 2 Detail H states that NEW DOOR FRAMES WILL REMAIN UNFILLED (NO CONCRETE) FOR INSULATION. What is the reasoning for this out of curiosity? It is something that is commonly vital to commercial grade doors. Also, some of the 7’ openings will have an area on the header that will require foam filling and grouting because of the differences in header height. ANSWER 2 Door frames will not be filled with concrete. Foam and or grouting as required is allowed. Concrete has been the source of moisture which has escalated the door frames rusting from the inside of the door frame. QUESTION 3 Detail O states that all “external doors will have a door closer provided by the bidder”. Per the site visit, there were several interior doors that would require closers. Are we going by the ingress and egress points to the building or are we going by what were instructed on the walk through? ANSWER 3 Provide door closers as specified in the original ITB specifications located in Appendix B. No new instructions were provided during the walkthrough. QUESTION 4 Is there an engineer’s estimate? ANSWER 4 There is no engineer’s estimate.
