Questions and Answers:

04/17/2026

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.

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

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?

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?

Minimum 30- year warranty on Paint and a minimum 20 year on

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

The proposed Brick on the addition to match as close as possible to

the existing brick on the building.

14. Site Work

Contractor responsible for site grading, erosion control, filling and site

stabilization of the project site after the demo by the city.

15. Do you have any specific products you would like to use from

TNEMEC for the epoxy and urethane?

Find specs for Epoxy/Urethane -

1. Surface Preparation: Shot blast or mechanically abrade surface

to remove existing coating other contaminants and to provide a

profile in accordance with ICRI Standard CSP 3 minimum.

2. Repairs: Fill spalls, areas that need repair and non-moving

joints and cracks with Tnemec 215 Surfacing Epoxy or 237

Power-Tread/fumed silica/aggregate blend.
