thickness differential between the existing ceramic tile and the new VCT. Does the

this work?

Q. RFI 1209-022 R1: Keynote 36 on A-2.2 states “electrical receptacles shall be

installed so that no point measured horizontally along the floor line in any wall

space is more than 6 feet from a receptacle outlet.” Is this requirement for all room

the Community Room and Unit 6. Will we be required to install new circuitry and

outlets to meet this Keynote 36 requirement in all other units, if so please provide

locations of new receptacles for all other apartments for which you want new

receptacles.

believe the City wants this throughout if the building does not comply. Not required in

halls and bathrooms.

exhaust fan. It is unclear if your response indicated the model of new or the existing
