Questions and Answers:

1. Can Smith and/or ACO Drains be a substitution for Zurn? (Meeting
Equivalent Specs.)
Substitutions will be allowed if they are equivalent specifications or
approved equal.
1

2. On A-1.0, the wall legend is described as:
A) (This wall is around the equipment room) INTERIOR WALL - 6"
METAL STUD WALL w/STUDS SPACED @ 16" O.C. w/ (1) LAYER
5/8" PLYWOOD EACH SIDE & METAL LINER PANELS
B) (This wall is separating the bays.) INTERIOR WALL - METAL
WALL GIRTS w/METAL LINER PANELS EACH SIDE - EXTEND TO
ROOF DECK
The question is, on the city's drawings, they call out a 3-hr fire wall at
these places; however, these specs do not align with a 3-hr firewall.
Can you advise?
Similar Question from another Contractor
I wanted to ask you about a conflict I noticed between drawing
Concept floor plan and A-1 by Bouton. The equipment and mech
room show either a 3-hr. rated wall on Concept floor plan and on A-1
they show a 6" interior stud wall with plywood and metal liner. What
plan shall we price are walls by?
Proposal to be based upon the Concept Plans. The 3-hour Fire Barrier
Walls for the Equipment Room is a City of Crossville Codes
Department Requirement, and is shown on the Concept Plans.
Note that the Equipment Room walls are to be a 3-hour Fire Barrier
Wall and not a 3-hour Fire Wall except for the wall next to the
Interconnecting Hallway. It is to be a 3-hour Fire Wall.
Contractor/Designer has the option to choose the type of construction
to meet a 3-hour fire barrier wall assembly and it's UL rating.

3. What is the difference between Fire Wall and Fire Barrier Wall?
Fire Walls - are walls that extends continuously from the base of the
building all the way to the roof. They are designed to remain standing
even if the adjacent structure collapses. To do so, firewalls are built
thicker than normal walls with significant structural stability under fire
conditions.
Fire Barriers - are interior walls that extend from the floor-to-floor or
floor-to-roof. They are designed to sub-divide portions of the building,
and can be supported by structures, such as roofs, columns or floors.
All support structures should have a fire-resistant rating no less than
that of the fire barrier they support.
4. What is the firewall UL rating for the horizontal ceiling?
Contractor/Designer has the option to choose the type of construction
to meet the 3- hour horizontal assembly for the ceiling and it's UL
rating. Contractor/Designer also has the option to extend the 3-hour
fire barrier walls up to the bottom of roof sheathing and eliminate the
3-hour horizontal assembly above the Equipment Room.
5. Garage Door(s):
Should we proceed with insulated or non-insulated glass?
1/2" Insulated Tempered Glass
Is Low-E glass required?
No, the Glazing and the overhead door to have a U factor = 0.45
Do the 521 series doors require insulated stiles and rails?
Yes
Should the doors be non-wind loaded or wind loaded?
Wind loaded
3

Are standard 10,000-cycle springs sufficient, or is a higher cycle
rating needed?
25,000 Cycle
6. Is an Oil and Grease separator required for the trench drains inside
the building?
No, this is a parking garage for trucks and equipment, and not garage
for working on trucks and equipment.
7. I just wanted to verify that the telephone pole and light poles will be
handled by the city being it is a part of the demo. Just let me know if
there is anything on our end we should be including in your bid.
It will be part of the city's demo.
8. Does the demo include demo & removal of asphalt?
Yes, the city will be responsible for demo of the asphalt.
9. Is a field office mandatory?
No
10. Can you clarify exactly what a 1 hour fire barrier is?
IBC Section 706.5 required a 1-hour fire resistance rating for 4 feet
at exterior corners where a fire wall intersects an exterior wall. A 1-hour
fire-resistance-rated assembly is a building component (wall, floor, or
ceiling) designed to withstand fire for one hour. Common assemblies
include 5/8" Type X gypsum board on wood/steel studs or specialized
exterior panels, ensuring structural integrity and fire containment.
Contractor/Designer has the option to choose the type of construction
to meet the 1- hour fire resistance rating and it's UL rating.

11. Specs call for 30-year minimum warranty on the building metal..is
that a finish (paint) warranty or a weathertightness warranty?

Watertighness on the roof panels.
12. Standing Seam Roof profile
Standing Seam Roof to match as close as possible the existing
standing seam roof profile and color.
13. Proposed Brick
