Question Submission Deadline:January 12, 2025, 12:01am The original building constructed in 1954 is a single-story 6,346 sq. ft. reinforced masonry structure slab on grade and common framed 2 x 6 truss members @ 24" O.C. with 1 x 6 roof deck sheathing a felt underlayment with a shingle roof as the primary roof and a few small areas at the front Admin area having a modified Bitumen rolled roof as noted in the photographic documentation contained within the construction documents memorializing the existing conditions being improved. o The front or entry walls of each unit have a large wood framed entry wood door and glass wall fronting the parking lot that will be removed and replaced with a new storefront and a new thermal metal door assembly. o The existing roof is to have the original shingles and underlayment removed and replaced. Because of edge deck rot and decay the contractor will replace of the north elevations over the covered walkway first 36" of wood roof decking that has signs of compromise (see photographic documentation). As the re-roofing progresses contractor is to remove 36" wide area of edge decking along the entire north roof edge the contractor is to install a new fire sprinkler system main trunk line (unless installation can be accomplished by cutting in access holes in the existing ceiling from within the room to run the new sprinkler line before neatly patching the ceiling, either option is acceptable by Owner and Architect in order to equip each room with fire protection sprinkler system) as noted in the construction documents. o The base bid work re-roofs the building with a new peel and stick underlayment and 25-year shingle with new metal flashings. The project also has an additive alternate for the installation of a 1 1/2 " high ribbed metal standing seam roof system in lieu of the shingles. o The exterior soffit system is to be prepped and repainted with an additive alternate to encapsulate the existing composite panel system with a new vented aluminum soffit system. There is a second additive alternate to abate the composite (asbestos base) soffit panel system in its entirety and install a new pre-finished vented aluminum soffit system. The existing fascia and sub fascia are to be replaced since more than 50% of the fascia is compromised (refer to photographic documentation) with rot and decay. Miscellaneous touch-up and patching will be required prior to repainting to obtain a cosmetic clean-up of the fascia and soffit system. Contractor to neatly caulk joints and transitions. Note: When encapsulated, if that option is used do not crate any airborne dust as a result of the enhancement efforts. o The exterior walls are to be cleaned up (remove abandoned devices, etc. from walls and patch and prep before repainting the exterior walls. o The rear exterior wall (South wall) has abandoned thru-the-wall A/C units and wood infilled original window units (refer to photographic documentation and exterior elevations) which are to be cleaned up (wood removed, A/C sleeve etc.) and infilled with new EFIS thermal wall system as noted on drawings. o The front Admin area extreme west end of Building "A" is to have its unpermitted attached storage room at its south corner removed and the concrete slab patched so that the slab can be used as an outside patio. The western most window unit along the rear or south wall of the southwest corner bedroom is to be removed, and a new exterior door installed to gain access to the slab and used as a patio. o The existing Admin area is to have its interior non-structural walls removed to open the space up as a workroom and the bathroom reconfigured into a handicap accessible toilet room to serve the workroom. The existing kitchenette is to be removed and replaced with a cabinet segment with a sink, microwave and refrigerator to serve the workroom. o The existing lobby is to be converted into a small computer room and the office fragmented walls cleaned up squaring the office area up. o The existing laundry room is to be cleaned up, repainted, and the floor epoxy coated. o All doors and frames are to be replace and the interior finishes cleaned up and refinished, the snap lock vinyl plank floor removed, and the subfloor cleaned and prepped to receive a new LVT glue down floor system encapsulating the existing 9 x 9 floor tile (base bid is to re-encapsulate tile and additive alternate to abate). All electrical and plumbing is to be replaced as noted in the MEP series drawings. o Each of the living quarter units is to have the vanity removed and area reconfigured to include a small kitchenette that includes a small refrigerator/freezer, a new kitchen sink and faucet, a two-burner induction cook top and a above microwave with built-in exhaust fan unit with a new solid surface top. o Each of the living quarter units are to have its closet reconfigured to accommodate the kitchenette. o Each unit's bathroom is to be modernized with new plumbing fixtures, new floor (base bid quartz poured epoxy additive alternate to remove and replace floor tile) and new wall tile, patching and painting. o The utility and general storage rooms are to be cleaned up patched, caulked, and painted (refer to finish schedules). o All gutters and downspouts are to be removed and replaced with new 0.040 units. o All bathrooms are to receive new toilet specialties (mirror, toilet paper dispenser, towel bars, soap dispensers, etc.) In summary the bathrooms and vanity / kitchenette will be new. The units flooring will be new. Entry window / door unit replaced with storefront, interior patching and pantry, new mechanical, electrical, plumbing, exterior patching, painting, re-roof and addition of a new fire sprinkler system. BUILDING NO. 2: o This building was constructed in 1987 and is configured into two buildings joined with an open breezeway at the east to west leg transitioning into the North/South unit leg as noted in the drawings, both building masses are under one "L" shape hip style roof (one common roof). o This building is constructed with 8" reinforced CMU w/a 3 coat stucco exterior finish and a pre-cast/pre-stress concrete floor planks forming the floor system of the second floor and a pre-engineered wood truss system (hip style) with shingle over felt underlayment over plywood sheathing. o The balance of the work mimics the work described in the single-story living quarter units 112 through 210 with a new fire sprinkler system, modernized restrooms, a new kitchenette and closet reconfiguration, new electrical, plumbing and mechanical systems and re-roofing with new metal soffit system. o The new interior finishes after the existing finishes have been cleaned up (patched, caulked and repainted). In some cases, re-skim coating of the existing veneer base plaster wall and ceiling finishes. Note: The wall areas adjacent to the entry door are damaged by trespassers trying to kick in the door as shown in the project's photographic documentation. o All doors and door frames are to be removed and replaced with thermal holow metal units. o Existing snap together vinyl floor planking and the substrate cleaned and prepped to receive new glue down LVT flooring and wood base. o Each unit's entry window and door units are to be removed and replaced with a new storefront and a new thermal door. o Once all interior and exterior surfaces have been prepared, corrected/patched the building is to be prepped and repainted and caulked. The west end of the east/west oriented buildings 2nd floor will be removed and replaced with new pre-finished 0.040 aluminum soffit panel system. o The existing handrail and steel stair units are to be prepped and refinished. o The abandoned thru-the-wall A/C unit is to be infilled with CMU and blended stucco finish before repainting the exterior. o All spaces are to receive new electrical/mechanical and plumbing as noted in the MED series documents. In conclusion, the goal of this construction is to clean up and modernize the existing single story and two-story buildings inside and out.
