Attached 2. In light of this, is it the intention to remove the exterior insulation, install heat trace and install insulation on the exterior chilled water pipes? After reviewing the original design documentation, heat trace was not specified. Contractor to provide whichever freeze protection measures for the new system (must meet local code requirements). 3. If circuit setters are not installed, will a change order be considered to install in order to balance the system? Sheet M302 of the mechanical plans seems to show circuit setters near the coils. If circuit setter is required for your approach/sytem include it in your offer. 4. “Commissioning” requires parameters in which to test to. If true “commissioning” is required, we will need either a specification or CxA plan to test to. Is there a CxA plan or specification to commission to? If commissioning is not required, start up and testing by a factory authorized representative so as to validate the manufacturers warranty is usually accepted. We do not currently have a formal commissioning plan, however, we will want to require testing of controls (temperature readings/setpoints) and system balancing (flow rates) to ensure proper operation/levels prior to closeout. 5. For the purpose of chemical treatment, does the water loop contain glycol or sodium nitrate? Glycol _------------------------------------------------------------------------ RFI01 - 28 October 2022 Could you please provide the mechanical drawings for the building?

None visually found. 5.2.2 – Is there currently heat trace installed on the piping between the chiller and the building? None shown in drawings. None visually found due to insulation. 5.2.3 – Is it the desire to have the entire chilled water loop balanced? And does all equipment have circuit setters installed to balance the flow? Yes. No circuit setters visually found on Chilled water piping. 5.2.3 – Does this solicitation include a CxA plan for the “commissioning” requirement? Or is a factory start up sufficient? 3rd party commissioning required (contractor is responsible for seeing through full system commissioning). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Correction: removed "mandatory" verbiage to site visit criteria.
