Are there any other permits that the contractor must pay for besides these for this project?" Answer: No Question: "Drawing L-1.01 has a note beneath the legend that states we are to "provide unit prices n all plant types shown and for Bermuda grass per SQ. YD ." There is not a location on the bid form for these unit prices, nor are they mentioned in the unit prices spec. section 1270. Are we to provide these un it prices for this project at bid time?" Answer: No Question: "Drawing L-1.01 & L-1.03 shows a note near the condenser units at the rear of the building that state "Alternate #1, Landscape Area." This alt. 1 is not the same as the Alt 1 in "Alternates spec. sec~ion 1230 ," and it's not listed at all. Also , the "Special Note" on L-2 .01 states to "ADD VALVE #20; valve #20 is in a different location on the plans. And, no irrigation connection is shown on L-2.01 for this area as f ell. a. Are we to provide an alternate for this area at bid time? b. If we are to include an alternate for this area, can you please define the total scope for this alternate?"

I Question: "In the ADDITIONAL INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS, note f. states "Deductible limits, or self- funded retention limits, on each policy must not exceed $10,000. per occurrence unless otherwise I approved by the Owner." Most general contractors are going to have insurance deductibles higher th 1 an this amount. Our retention limit though Travelers insurance is $500,000 . Is this deductible amount g@ing to prohibit us from being a general contractor on this project?" I Answer: The intent of the requirement is to protect the City from contractors who do not have the financial resources to indemnify high deductibles. When Certificates of Insurance (COi) are presented to Risk ~gmt. we check for compliance to various items. Examples: (1) we ck. Insurer's for financial solvency rating~; (2) we make certain the City is listed as an "additional insured "; (3) determine if the insurer is an admitted carrier in Texas; etc. Pursuant to high deductibles: Risk Mgmt. verifies financials for a particular company. Normally, large General Contractor companies need not worry. If Risk Mgmt were to question &/or reject an item, we would explain in writing and extend a deadline to come into compliance. I Question : "Schlage does not make a finish US32D Satin Stainless Steel. Should we substitute US26D Brushed Chrome?" Answer: Yes Question: "Keying needs to be confirmed. Construction keys, Master keys and Grand Master keys appear to be too much keying. Is this correct?"

I Question: "Patio locks are an extended lead time item and very pricey. Could store room locks be use'd in their place ?" Answer: Patio locks are provided to prevent personnel from accidentally locking themselves out. 14. Question: "Regarding the mosaic pattern tile area shown on detail 1/A-3.08, is the note that states "ce amic . tile" incorrect? Detail 02/A-3.08 and the specifications only mention porcelain tile . Please clarify." Answer: All floor tiles are porcelain ; wall tiles with the exception of the base are ceramic. 15. Question: "There is a spec section 10552 for Mail Boxes .
