IV. QUESTIONS Please be advised of the following questions that were submitted to the City and the relevant responses: Q1 Ref. Dwg. # E7(3) - What is the detail for mounting to roof, light fixture (AS) shown

mounted to light post on G9(A)? A1 Refer to revised Drawing Sheets E7, S4 and S8 included in this Addendum. Q2 Specification section 15255 clause 3.08 Outdoor Duct insulation material is to be

mineral-fibre board. A note on drawing M8 in detail 4 states that mineral board insulation is to be used for the round outdoor duct. Board insulation is not typically used for round duct as it is not able to be installed correctly because of the rigidity. Please clarify what type of insulation is to be used for the round supply ductwork.

A2 The insulation specification is correct. The Contractor is to follow industrial standard in

scoring insulation to suit diameter of duct.

3

Q3 Specification section 15255 clause 3.08 Outdoor Duct states that a corrugated aluminum is to be used as the jacketing material. This application creates two probable issues. Because the duct is outside the water will sit on the ductwork and will not shed off. Additionally, a corrugated aluminum elbow is not readily available and installing a flat stock elbow would likely compromise the weather tight seal. Please clarify what type of jacket is intended to be used for the outdoor ductwork.

A3 Contractor must use stucco embossed aluminum secured with stainless steel banding. Q4 Will the cold water line need to be operational for the startup of phase one of the

project? A4 No. Q5 Concrete - Structural drawing S-1 only specified concrete strength to be 35MPa, could

consultant provide related concrete classes of exposure also? A5 Concrete exposure as follows: General (non-exposed) concrete interior slabs walls and beams: N Exposed concrete slabs, walls and columns: F-2 Exterior slab on grade, side walk: C-2 Foundation, grade beam: N Q6 The description under Tie Points 25, 26, 27 and 28 on drawing P4 list the size of the

valve and spool to be 300mm. Please confirm that the butterfly valves V-9021 and V-9024 are to be 350mm in size, as shown on drawing P4 and the valve schedule.

A6 The correct size is 350mm. Q7 Cash allowance for testing & inspection – there are no cash allowances in tender form

for testing & inspection, please clarify it. A7 The Contractor is required to pay for all testing associated with his own quality control plan

and as specified in Section 01451. The City has its own testing and inspection services which the City pays for directly.

Q8 Cost for test & inspection – Section 01451 clause 1.01.B & 1.03E shows “All costs

associated with quality control plan shall be included in contractor’s bid & all tests shall be paid for by contractor”, usually it is city to assign the testing company & allow a cash allowance amount to cover the inspection & test cost, please clarify it.

A8 Refer to Q/A7 above. Q9 Digester gas piping welding radiographic NDE examination – Please clarify if this NDE

test will be paid by cash allowance amount. A9 Contractor must pay for all NDE testing as required by the specifications and TSSA. Q10 On drawing M10 there is an eyewash shown–we cannot locate a specification for the

eyewash? A10 Refer to the revised Specification Section 15450 (added sections 2.03 and 2.04) included in

this Addendum.

4

Q11 The manufacturer of the hot water heater (Section 15450) indicates the specified hot water heater will not have enough capacity to feed an eyewash.

A11 Increase size of hot water heater to 75litre (20 USGAL), 5kW 208V/3Phase/60Hz.

Refer to the revised Specification Section 15450 and revised Drawing Sheet E13 attached to this Addendum.

Q12 What is the extent of new asphalt paving, section 2430? A12 Refer to the revised Drawing Sheet G6 included in Addendum 2 (dated November 19, 2015). Q13 Where is the Excavation Shoring System required? Specification 2150. A13 No shoreline protection is required. Refer to Q/A1 in Addendum 2 (dated November 19,

2015). Q14 Section 07555 Item 2.04.C calls for tapered glass fibre insulation. This product has not

been made for at least 15 years. What type of tapered insulation should we use? A14 Polyisocyanurate foam insulation faced with black glass/felt facers on one side and meeting

the requirements of CAN/ULC-S704. Q15 Stahl crane – section 14330 calls for stahl crane from Richard Wilcox, but when I

contacted Richard Wilcox they indicated not bidding for this project, could consultant specify anther crane system for this project?

A15 Contact Brent Ball at (905) 523-7727 (office) or (905) 981-8293 (cell). Q16 We notice there is a conflict between Drwg G4, Note 6 and Specification 01510 2.04.

The drawings states that a trailer for the administrator is required while the specification says no trailer is required. We assume a trailer is not required since the consultant has their own trailer compound already set up. Please clarify.

A16 No trailer is required for the Consultant/Contract Administrator. Q17 In Section 3, Tender Submission Package, Schedule of Prices, Item 4, it doesn’t make

any sense, can’t have addition and deduction in one chart, and total them up. Please revise.

A17 Refer to specification Section 02351, Item 1.03. Q18 The section 033000 makes reference to the CSA A23.1 of 1994. More than 20 years old!!.

We don't keep this old version in our files and it is not clear what class of exposure A, B or C were described at that time. Also drawings on general notes ask to use the latest codes edition and encourage to report discoveries or discrepancies. We require an updated section 033000 reflecting the latest CSA A23.1. Otherwise we will not be able to submit proper pricing reflecting this project.

A18 Refer to Q/A 5 above. Q19 Drawing P5 shows valves V-7001 and V-7002 on a 500mm pipe header, but valve list

15110.1 calls these valves out as 600mm. Drawing P13 shows the valves and header but there is no indication of size. Please verify size of valves V-7001 and V-7002 and size of header on drawing P13.

5

A19 The correct size is 600mm. Refer to Q/A34 in Addendum 2 (dated November 19, 2015). Q20 Would it be possible to schedule a second site visit? A20 No second site visit will be scheduled. Q21 Bridge Crane Section 14330 1.01 B. calls for electric motors for the trolley, hoist and

bridge to be Class 1 Division 1. According to the supplier, the acceptable Manufacturer “Stahl crane Systems” does not provide a Class 1 Division 1 crane which is the old NEC500 standard. They do provide a Class 1 Zone 1 which is the new NEC505 standard. Is this acceptable?

A21 Class 1 Zone 1 is acceptable. Q22 The drawings call 75mm Rigid Insulation (min. RSI 5.28). The specified material is

Roofmate and 3” has an RSI of 2.64 or an R-value of 15.0. An RSI of 5.28 would be an R-value of 30.0 which would require 2 layers of 3” Roofmate. Please confirm if the thickness or RSI is correct.

A22 The insulation thickness is 3mm with an R-value of 15. Q23 Provide diameter and specification for the Thermal Valves not included in the process

valve list. (V-7203/7204/7303/7304/7403/7404/7503/7504/7603/7604) A23 Thermal Valve sizes are as per drawings. These valves are part of the Waste Gas Burner

vendor’s scope of supply as per specification Sections 11566 section 2.06. Q24 Provide diameter and specification for the Flame Arrestor (FX-7201/7202/ 7301/ 7302/7401/7402/7501/7502/7601/7602). A24 Flame arrestor sizes are as per drawings. These devices are part of the Waste Gas Burner

vendors scope of supply as per specification Sections 11566, Item 2.06 and Q/A34 of Addendum 2 (dated November 19, 2015).

Q25 Provide a detail showing the piping reduction from 600mm to 500mm on the digester

gas incoming line (600-DG-007-202 & 500-008-202) which is not shown on the drawings A25 Refer to Q/A34 in Addendum 2 (dated November 19, 2015). Q26 Section 07555, page 5, item 2.04 C. Calls for tapered glass fibre roof insulation. Please

be advised that this product was discontinued a number of years ago. Since the tapered is being used in an inverted system, perhaps a tapered fiberboard could be considered (has a lower thermal value to minimize the possibility of dew pointing). Also, under the same section, page 7, item 3.04 A. it calls for the slope to be 1%. This slope cannot be used and hit the elevations shown on roof drawing. On drawing A1, +50 is shown at all perimeters. Please be advised that a constant thickness at the roof perimeters cannot be maintained (the runs from the roof drain to the roof perimeters vary). Usually tapered is specified as a particular slope eg. 1%, 2% and thickness are not given. Please clarify as soon as possible.

A26 Refer to Q/A14 above concerning insulation. The drawing shows the design intent and the

Contractor is free to offer alternates using common and customized slopes, mitred panels, etc. to drain the roof. The roof design will be reviewed and commented on as a shop drawing submission.

Q27 Specification #13510, Paragraph 2.06: This item describes the installation of a Category

3 Backbone 24 pair Telephone cable between the telephone patch panel in the telecom enclosure and the BIX block in the entrance facility. Please define “Entrance Facility” and where is this location in relation to the new Waste Gas Burner Facility. The “Entrance Facility” is not identified on the Lan campus Layout Drawing.

A27 This is the City standard LAN specification and paragraph 2.06 does not apply to this project.

Refer to drawing sheet E34 and specification Section 16516 for project specific phone and PA requirements.

Q28 In terms of life safety is there fire alarm for protecting the new expansion? E.g. smoke

detectors, pull stations etc. I noticed on drawing E4 the engineer noted a fire alarm panel within the electrical room but I didn’t see any FA devices for the field or a section under the Div.16 Index for fire alarm.

A28 No fire alarm is required. Q29 We require more detailed routing for fiber cable tray that runs from blower building

control room to new burner facility control room? The routing is shown on Drawing I19. Specifically the routing of the tray within the Blower Building.

A29 Contractor to confirm on site the effort required to install fibre optic cable. Q30 Are two fiber cables required to meet specifications Section 13510 Item # 1.01.E for

redundant requirement? A30 This is the City standard LAN specification and this project requires only one cable as

detailed on drawing sheet I19. Q31 There is a 600V 30A Receptacle that is referenced as TAB-EL3-WR-6371/6372. .Please

provide the actual catalogue number of the receptacle that is required. A31 Refer to revised specification Section 16140 attached to this Addendum. Use Crouse-Hinds FSQC2430 c/w matching plug. Q32 New Heating and Ventilation Panel referenced in general specification division 13010

Item # 10 on page 4 of 17 is labelled as TAB-ACC-CP-6372 however this same Heating and Ventilation panel is labelled as TAB-ACC-CP-4902 in drawing E35. Are they identical control panels or are they different? Please confirm which Tab # we are to use.

A32 These are the same control panel and the correct tag number is TAB-ACC-CP-4902. Q33 There is a Temperature Control Panel TAB-ACC-V-4902 shown on Drawing E35.

Please provide a schematic and layout? A33 Refer to Drawing Sheet E22 for schematic and layout. Q34 Is local control valve station TAB-DIG-V-6751 shown on drawing I58 a new panel or an

existing one? It is not referenced in general specification division 13 process control. Please confirm if it is new and we are to supply. Note: If it is new we will require a schematic and a layout.

A34 This panel is new and is detailed on drawing sheet I58.

7

Q35 Can we get the schematic drawing for existing RPU Control Panel TAB-DIG-RPU-1204 that is referenced in Section 13010 Item # 13 on Page 5 of 17. We require the drawing to do our modifications.

A35 Refer to Drawing Sheets I56 and I57 for the scope of work. Q36 Drawing # E10, Note #4: This note refers to a reference Drawing #148 for installation

details, but this drawing does not relate in any way to the scope item described in Note #4. Please clarify.

A36 The referenced drawing sheet should be I49 not I48. Refer to revised drawing sheet E10

F. Fasteners: At 300mm oc in horizontal and vertical directions, minimum two rows

each side.

G. Keep insulation materials dry during application and finishing.

H. Apply insulation over fittings and specialties, with continuous thermal and vapour-

retarder integrity, unless otherwise indicated.

I. Hangers and Anchors: Where vapor retarder is indicated, seal penetrations in insulation

at hangers, supports, anchors, and other projections with vapour-retarder mastic. Apply

insulation continuously through hangers and around anchor attachments.

J. Insulation Terminations: For insulation application where vapor retarders are indicated, seal

ends with a compound recommended by the insulation material manufacturer to maintain vapor

retarder.

K. Cut insulation according to manufacturer's written instructions to prevent compressing

insulation to less than 75 percent of its nominal thickness.

L. Roof Penetrations: Apply insulation for interior applications to a point even with top of

roof flashing.

1. Seal penetrations with vapour-retarder mastic. 2. Apply insulation for exterior applications tightly joined to interior insulation ends. 3. Seal insulation to roof flashing with vapour-retarder mastic.

M. Interior Wall and Partition Penetrations: Apply insulation continuously through walls

and partitions, except fire-rated walls and partitions.

N. Fire-Rated Wall and Partition Penetrations: Terminate insulation at fire/smoke damper

sleeves for fire-rated wall and partition penetrations.

O. Floor Penetrations: Terminate insulation at underside of floor assembly and at floor

support at top of floor. For insulation indicated to have vapor retarders, taper

termination and seal insulation ends with vapour-retarder mastic.
