The temporary trailer will then removed and credited by the contractor.

As a result of these requirements, the following is required:

Dispersal Building Expansion (the “Work”):

• Modular dispersal building comprised of 4 units (total approximate area 250 m2)

• Removal of the temporary trailer currently located adjacent to the existing main dispersal building.

This addendum forms part of the Contract Documents and shall be read, interpreted and coordinated with all other parts. The costs of all work contained herein shall be included in the Contract Price. The following revisions supersede the information contained in the original Contract Document to the extent referenced and shall become part thereof. 1. Submission deadline date has been extended to 2:00 PM local time Tuesday September 29, 2009. 2. Questions and Answers

1. Question: Clarification required for the exterior wall spec. You show the gypsum to be on a 1” (25 mm) cavity with a minimum of 3” (75 mm) semi-rigid or foam insulation. We are not clear exactly what they are looking for. Drawing looks to show 2x6 walls?

Answer: Please modify Architectural Design Criteria Item 2.2 Exterior Walls as follows. Please also see the attached file as the exterior detail requested

Exterior Walls

The building envelope will consist of exterior pre-finished metal cladding (rain screen wall system) supported by wood frame construction or other structural system, 25mm air cavity, minimum of 75mm semi-rigid or foam insulation which is applied over a waterproof sheathing membrane and exterior gypsum or wood sheathing. Interior finish of exterior walls in the office and lockers area will be painted gypsum wall board.

2. Question: In one portion of the spec it asks for each computer workstation to have 2 – duplex

receptacles & 1 – Data/Voice outlet. Further in the spec it asks for 1 – quad receptacle & 2 – data drops per terminal. Is a workstation different than a terminal? Is a data drop the same as a Data/Voice outlet? If all is referring to the same thing, which would you like?

Answer: 'Two duplex receptacles' is equivalent to '1 quad receptacle'. Please replace 'DVO' and 'two data drops' with 'DVO with 2-RJ45 jack'.

3. Question: Rodent Control (section 2.11) – Are you referring to concrete curb. I would like to see a

detailed drawing as the dimensions you quote do not make sense.

Answer: Successful proponent to provide detailed design for City approval, based on the trailer detail and foundation design.

4. Question: With a suspended T-bar ceiling at 2750mm you will have very little space above the t-bar

for the light fixtures, duct work etc. as we have a transport height restriction for the total building height based on Ministry of Highways regulations.

Answer: Finished internal elevation is provided in design criteria. Final height of structure is to be determined by successful proponent.

5. Question: Section 3.3 – Who is paying for the geotech engineering study, and how are we supposed

to know how we are to cost out the foundation without details of the said report.

Answer: Successful proponent is responsible for the geotechnical study and assessment. 6. Question: Section 4.6 – Does the office complex have a heat pump only for heat ? ie, there are no

baseboard heaters in the office complex.

Answer: Please refer to Section 4.5 – Heating

7. Question: Section 5.4 – Power distribution – Is the city doing this work ?

Answer: Successful proponent is responsible.

8. Question: Section 5.11 – data network system – Is the city of Richmond doing all this work In this section?

Answer: Please refer to details within Section 5.11 for allocation of responsibilities.

9. Question: Section 6.2 – City of Richmond are doing service connections. Does this mean that we do

not have to provide any plumbers, electricians, civil/site service workers on site ?? The buildings will come from the factory with service connection points stubbed down to the underside of the modular unit ready for connection by the City.

Answer: Please refer to details within Section 6.2 for allocation of responsibilities.

Addendum No. 4 Request for Proposal for Design-Build for the Works Yard Dispersal Expansion

This addendum forms part of the Contract Documents and shall be read, interpreted and coordinated with all other parts. The costs of all work contained herein shall be included in the Contract Price. The following revisions supersede the information contained in the original Contract Document to the extent referenced and shall become part thereof. ITEM 1 – Project Schedule 1. Under Section 8. Project Schedule please include the following:

It is the City’s intention to have the Expansion operational and available for use before February 1, 2009. Therefore all work under this contract must be completed by the successful proponent no later than January 15, 2009. The City intends to issue Notice of Award for this project one (1) week after the submission deadline date for Contract 3713P.

ITEM 2 – Questions and Answers 1. QUESTION: We have a question on the power distribution mentioned in section 5.0 Electrical

Design Criteria, 5.4 Power distribution. We have done a quick rough calculation and we should only need 128 amps for a 3 phase service for the whole building. This includes all the optional buildings as well. You have asked for a 110A, 347/600V, 3 phase, system, which is much more than required. Do you also require 2 panels, one for the lighting and one for the power? We typically would do 1 main panel & 2 sub panels if all buildings are taken.

ANSWER: Please refer to section 5.4 '100A, 120/208V, 3 phase, 4 wire power panel board' is a panel rating commonly used in industry. 'Breaker size and transformer size shall be calculated as per related section of CEC Code' by successful proponent. 2 panels are required for consistency with existing facilities. Regards,
