During the site walk through, we were apprised of the presence of asbestos beneath the flooring, and it was suggested that we over lay the current flooring. However, upon careful examination of the existing flooring, it became evident that this approach would be unfeasible due to the inadequate bonding capabilities of VCP glue to the preexisting surface. While this may not pose a significant challenge in terms of construction, we kindly request authorization to either remove the current flooring or figure a different flooring plan. we have reached out to multiple vendors and received the same answers, please advise. Answer for this: The correct and updated version of the renovations specifies vinyl plank flooring be installed over the existing floor. That is floating floor, which should alleviate the bonding issues. This solicitation has been extended due to the SOW update. the extension is until 09/13/2023. The SOW has been updated and added.
