Procurement Representative: Lenora Simpson; Phone: (307) 777-3558 --- QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS --- Q: 1. Please clarify "vendor" attendance at pre-bid. Does this mean all potential subcontractors and vendors for the GC also have to be in attendance at the pre-bid, or is it just mandatory for the GC's A: GCs are required to attend. Subs/Vendors are welcome, but it's up to the GC if they want them to attend. Q: Is it possible to get the drawing file size reduced? The current size is far too large to be able to distribute the drawings via the normal procedures. The file is locked due to signatures so we are not able to reduce the file size on our end. A: WGFD will reach out to each bidder to provide a link to a Google Drive that will have the plans broke out by discipline and will be easier to distribute. Q: Is the project Geotechnical Report available? A: Yes. The Geotechnical report will be shared via the Google Drive that was mentioned in the answer to Question #2 above. Q: See comments from the MariSource Incubator mfr regarding some of the information contained in Spec Section 115316 Hello, Thank-you for bearing with me through all my questions. I have attached a quote above for one of our 16 Tray Trout Incubators. This incubator has a screen size that is 14 x 18 per square inch. I did see a spot in your document that says 12 x 12 per square inch. That would be our salmon incubator. If you would like a quote for that one instead, I am happy to update the quote. Additionally, I noticed that the materials that you have in your descriptions are materials that we no longer use. I have attached a document with more information on this. Please see below for correct materials. Tray Stand: * 6063-T52 Aluminum with ABS Side Panels * We do not use polyester resin reinforced with glass roving anymore as we now use ABS. * We do not offer floor mounting kits Incubation Trays: * The Water Tray and Egg Tray are made from polypropylene * The Egg Tray Lid is made from ABS * Both the egg tray and egg tray lid have a fiberglass mesh screen * The tray comes with a stainless-steel locking pin to secure the lid in place A: See forthcoming Bid Addendum #1 Q: Bid Form: Is the "build-out" of the building - i.e. office area, walls surrounding the various rooms to be included in Bid Item 4? A: No answer provided yet. Q: Sheet D101 Demo key note D mentions coordinating with WGFD for use of asphalt millings on the property elsewhere.

Sheet M601 shows Ambient Water supply entering the building and appears drawn as PVC. The callout on this 12" header notes it as HDPE DR21. After the tee's off of this pipe the callout changes to PVC. Sheet M102 notes this header as PVC. Please confirm pipe material is intended to be PVC. 4. The location of the 3" backwash line is shown entering in a different location on sheet C112 than on M102 & M601. Please confirm which location this pipe is to enter the building. 5. Section A on M203 shows the 2" supply drop from the 4" AW line in to the RAS tank area. The 2" valve is shown with tag number V-264. This valve is not included in the valve schedule, however valves in similar applications are noted as V-ABC with is a 2" true union ball valve. Is this valve intended to be a 2" PVC true union ball valve? 6. Section A on M408 shows the 2" supply drop valves with tag numbers V-616 and V-617. These tags are also shown in a different location and the valve schedule notes them as 4". Please confirm these two valves are intended to be 2" true union ball valves not 4". 7. Sheet M602 shows supply and return piping exiting tank T-003 to the chilling system as well as tank T-002 to the heating system. Does the scope of supply of the two skid systems include the valves at the supply and discharge of the skids as well as the supply and discharge headers or should the contractor include these in our scope of supply? 8. Section 40 23 02 2.1.B notes wherever possible, pipes are to be supported from structural members, and where necessary to frame structural members between existing (engineered metal building) members, such supplementary members shall be provided by Contractor. Please confirm the loads for Electrical, HVAC, Plumbing, and process piping have been incorporated in to the design criteria on GS001 that establish the design loads for the preengineered metal building. 9. Sheet S401 - Please provide additional construction details for how the mezzanine is to be supported and attached to the floor and/or the preengineered metal building. A: See Addendum No.2 for answers to 48-1 thru 48-3, and 48-5 thru 48-9. We are still researching 48-4. A: See Addendum No. 3 for answer to 48-4 Q: Section 26 05 33.2.3 (B) 6 required large junction boxes to be NEMA Type 1, 3R, 4 or 4X per Section 20 01 00, but does not define which areas require NEMA 4 or 4X. Please clarify which rooms require NEMA 4 or 4X enclosures and also confirm that NEMA 1 is acceptable for all dry non washdown interior locations. A: See Bid Addendum #4 Q: Section 26 05 33 2.2(C) appears to require sealing locknuts on all locations. Please confirm that standard locknuts are acceptable for dry interior conditions. Section 2.2 (D) does not specify whether threadless fittings are allowed. Please confirm that threadless fittings are acceptable for indoor dry areas. A: See Bid Addendum #4 Q: Section 26 05 33 requires box covers to be secured with stainless steel screws. If 4" square boxes are allowed, is it the intent to have the contractor remove the factory provided 8-32 screws and replace them with stainless steel screws for all interior device and junction boxes? Please clarify where stainless steel screws are required. A: See Bid Addendum #4 Q: Section 26 05 33 2.3 A (1) appears to allow sheet metal boxes (e.g. 4" square) for dry interior uses. Section 2.3(a) 4 only lists FS/FD cast boxes. Please confirm where 4" square boxes are acceptable in dry interior locations. Please confirm whether FS/FD boxes are required only in wet/exterior/industrial areas. A: See Bid Addendum #4 Q: Addendum 2, Question 31 states EMT & MC Cable are not allowed and reference Section 26 05 33 for acceptable raceway types. Section 260533 does not list EMT as a permitted raceway. GRC/IMC appears to be the only practical listed alternative. Please confirm that the engineer intends for office/admin interior wall branch circuits to be installed using RMC/IMC. Section 3.2 of the same spec section notes that GRC is intended to be used where exposed, but there is no mention of raceways for concealed work. GRC/IMC in a concealed stud wall is not practical application and will add significant labor to the project. Will the engineer re-consider the answer to Question 31 and allow for EMT where concealed in walls or above ceilings? If EMT is unacceptable, is PVC ran in a concealed wall an acceptable alternate to PVC? A: See Bid Addendum #4 Q: Is there any chance they would want to install 6"x8" core filled block instead of installed concrete curb for their wall lines? Assumption is that this will look better in the end and save labor costs. That is an expensive option to then build walls on top of. A: At this stage, No. Bid the plans. Q: Mag meter spec calls for polypropylene liner material - McCrometer (approved manufacturer) uses 3M 135 Epoxy rated to 200 degrees F. Will this be acceptable? A: See Bid Addendum #4 Q: Electrical drawings show the vast majority of raceways being ran overhead in IMC. Would it be possible to run several raceways underslab in PVC? A: See Bid Addendum #4 Q: 1. Is there a specific reason Rockwell PLCs and Wonderware SCADA were selected? If Wonderware is important to the Owner, we recommend System Platform with AVEVA Historian with Dream report works well, not as certain as to InTouch system. 2. Are there any examples f what the HMI/SCADA should look like? Can more detail be provided for the requirements in Section 2.3C. Is it expected that the SCADA will be accessible in any location outside of the specified HMI? Will all control be handled by interfacing with the single HMI or are there any control requirements for accessing SCADA outside of this location? How many reports does the Owner require? are there any examples of what they are looking for? A: See Bid Addendum #4 Q: SCADA: Is it permissible to use L8 or L9 Rockwell ControlLogix instead of the specified L7? A: See Bid Addendum #4 Q: P&ID document states that not all valves are shown. Are the missing valves part of the controls narrative? Can we get more information about them? A: See Bid Addendum #4 Q: PLC&SCADA: System will involve PID control; how much control in the HMI will be required for these parameters? A: See Bid Addendum #4 Q: P&ID documents refer to PFxxx for Additional Process Flow Details. Where do these references exist? Does the Owner already have a list of setpoints/numerical requirements for the process flow control narrative in section 1.4? Or, do they want all of this to be adjusted from the HMI? A: See Bid Addendum #4 Q: BOM & SCADA: Are there any other documents that the Owner has that are available for review for a better understanding of desired outputs? A: See Bid Addendum #4 Q: 1. Detail 1 on sheet A504 refers to 2" rigid insulation and appears to point below the slab. Please confirm if this is the intent. 2. No mention of reinforcing in the concrete slab on grade has been found. Please clarify if the intent is to have an unreinforced slab. 3. Detail 2 on sheet S502 does not show any reinforcing. Please clarify what the intent is for this footing. 4. For the access stair to the tank/mezzanine, it's unclear whether the stair framing is steel with aluminum treads/landing/rail or fully aluminum. Please clarify. A: See Bid Addendum #4 Q: BOM - Master Control Panel Items 1. Can a Saginaw enclosure be quoted in lieu of the Hoffman enclosures? 2. BOM Item 2 missing part number. Please verify if this is to be A90SMP20. 3. BOM Item 21: a) Aluminum or Stell? b) Win 10 or Win 11? c) What Expansion Required? c1) One PCI or One PClex1? c2) Two PCI ce) Two PCle x 4? 4. BOM Item 31 missing part number. Please verify if it is to be 1756-N2 5. BOM Item 41 - part number is incorrect - missing the digit before the SC. Correct part number would look like EDS-316-?-SC. Our vendor advises that there are 18 options for this digit. Questions 1, 2, 4 & 5 also apply to the SCADA panel. BOM Item 22 NTE PN NTE5346 is no longer available. Please advise A: See Bid Addendum #4 Q: Mag meter spec calls for polypropylene liner material - McCrometer (approved manufacturer) uses 3M 135 Epoxy rated to 200 degrees F. Will this be acceptable? A: See Bid Addendum #4 Q: See below for some electrical questions: * How or why did they choose the Rockwell PLCs and Wonderware SCADA? o If Wonderware is important to them, we recommend System Platform, with InTouch OMI as the front end. * Any examples of what the HMI/SCADA system should look like? o Can more detail be provided for the requirements in section 2.3c o Is it expected that the SCADA will be accessible in any location outside of the specified HMI? o Will all control be handled by interfacing with the single HMI or are there control requirements for accessing SCADA outside of this location? * How many reports do they need? Do they have any examples of what they're looking for? * Are we using Wonderware InTouch instead of System Platform? o System Platform with AVEVA Historian is great with DreamReport, not sure about InTouch * Can we use L8 or L9 Rockwell ControlLogix instead of the L7 specified? * P&ID document states not all valves are shown. Are the missing valves part of the controls narrative? Can we get more information about them? * Are there any existing systems at this facility that we could get pictures of? * System will involve PID control, how much control in the HMI will be required for these parameters? * P&ID document refers to PFxxx for "Additional Process Flow Details", where do these references exist? * Does the client already have a list of setpoints/numerical requirements for the process flow control narrative in section 1.4? Or do they want all of this to be adjusted from the HMI. BOM Questions: Master Control Panel 1. Can we quote Saginaw enclosures as alternative to the Hoffman enclosures. 2.

Is this requirement fulfilled by anodizing aluminum and galvanizing steel? If not, please explain. A: See Bid Addendum #4 Q: 1.) What are the specs on the pan decking for the mezzanine? There is nothing called out by the engineers that we can, see? 2.) GS014 Called out a W24 what is the size. 3.) HSS 6 x 6 x1/2 with a flange. Flange details? What is the tank? 4.) They are calling out to trim the angle to the grating depth. (Issues they want the angle galvanized, once dipped there is no grinding to fit.) loses the galvanizing. 5.) Can we pick a size and use the angle as a back stop for the concrete? 6.) GS011- Notes on #6 what are the treads. Pan with concrete, steel, etc.? need more details 7.) S401 - Mezzanine W24 is called out - what size. Are there more detailed drawings? 8.) What are the columns for the Mezzanine? Figure 2.1 shows a 6x6 are we to assume x 1/2. 9.) GS013 All gratings shall be steel. Is This Galvanized or stainless? There is an option for both. (Which do you want?) 10.) Is Grating flat, or knurled? 11.) On the table for gratings there are three different categories. Light, medium, and heavy. We cannot see where you want which size on the plans. 12.) On the grating supports there is more than one option, what option do you want. Angle, Or C Channel? 13.) Weld on studs, are those stainless, or steel that is galvanized? 14.) How do you want to attach the grating supports together? Is it okay if they just butt together? Mitered joints in the corner is all it calls out. 15.) On GS013 they are calling for angle with weld on studs that are 1/2" x 4", could we 3/8" x 4" instead. 16.) Do prevailing wages apply to any subcontractor that is manufacturing items out of state or off the job site and then install on the jobsite 17.) Regarding the comments below from previous addendum. It is not typical for the PEMB supplier to supply anchorage or stairs. I assume using alternate steel suppliers for this is acceptable, please advise. Answer The stairs shall be provided by the PEMB manufacturer; the way that the stairs are laid out is integral with the building and needs to be coordinated with the building framing. Third party for anchorage is acceptable. Stair detailing has been provided on a reissued Sheet A404. As noted on that sheet, the only part of the stairs that will not be provided by the PEMB manufacturer will be the site cast concrete to fill the metal pan stairs. The response we have been getting from PEMB's is as follows: PEMB's do not design/detail/supply Division 5 Metals, including but not limited to open framed stairs with open grating, closed stairs with concrete pans, handrail systems, guardrail systems, any miscellaneous steel that is embedded in concrete, etc. Will you need shop drawings for the stairs and is a fabricator okay to use for these? 18.) S109 calls out AL railing and ladder will other metals be acceptable for use? Galvanized, Powder Coated steel, etc..? 19.) Are Bollard sleeves acceptable instead of painted steel? 20.) Do you want the PEMB to be galvanized or will red Iron be acceptable? 21.) Can we get more information on all equipment and tanks going on the Mezzanine? Weights, what will be in tanks etc..? A: See Bid Addendum #4 Q: 1. Flowmeters and Flowmeter enclosures - There are multiple flowmeters shown in the PF sheet set that appear to be on below slab piping. Examples are FM-103, 203, 303, 403, 503, 603. These flowmeters do not appear to be shown in the corresponding M sheets. Detail M19 on GM008 notes an access hole with supported side walls with a removable access cover that appears it may be applicable to the above mentioned flowmeters. We have been unable to locate the materials of construction for this access hole. Please provide additional details of what is to be provided at the buried flowmeter locations. 2. Underslab Process Piping and Drains - In review of the process piping systems we have been unable to locate any details or requirements for concrete encasement of piping below building slabs and footings. Please confirm no concrete encasement is required for below slab process piping and drains. 3. Drawings M208 (RAS 3&4) and M307 (RAS 1&2) show a Removable Baffle Wall. Please provide details for the material required for the baffle walls, and size and how to install the baffle's. RAS 5&6 on drawing M407 does not show a baffle wall, please verify if this is correct. 4. RFB 26-0599 Bid Item Description, page 18. Please verify that all the procurement of the pipe for the yard piping and the interior piping within the building will be included in Bid Item No. 16 (Division 40 - Process Water Systems).

A: See Bid Addendum #4 Q: 1. Effluent Sump Stair System Specification Section 05 50 00, Paragraph 2.2 (Metal Stairs) indicates that all stairs shall be aluminum. However, structural drawings GS011 and GS012 indicate an option for either steel or aluminum construction. Please confirm that the following materials are acceptable for the Effluent Sump stair assembly: * Stair stringers and landing framing: Steel C12x20.7, hot-dip galvanized (HDG) after fabrication, per Sheet GS011 and project specifications * Stair treads and landings: Steel grating, HDG after fabrication * Guardrail and handrail: Aluminum, per Sheet GS012 and project specifications 2. Mezzanine Access Stair Addendum No. 2 added information to Sheet A404 indicating the mezzanine access stair is a steel stair with concrete pan-filled treads. Please confirm the following materials and scope are correct: * Stair stringers, landing framing, columns, etc.: Steel, HDG after fabrication * Stair treads: Concrete pan-fill type; steel pans HDG after fabrication * Guardrail and handrail: 8-line pipe guardrail; steel, HDG after fabrication * Design responsibility: This stair is a delegated design 3. Influent Treatment Tanks - Grating Support Beams Sheet S109 indicates W8x21 support beams at two locations to support the mid-span of the FRP grating. Please confirm these members are steel beams and are to be hot-dip galvanized after fabrication. 4. Equipment Opening Framing at Grating Reference Keynote 5/A109 and Keynote 4/S113, which indicate framing at equipment openings is to be designed and supplied by the grating manufacturer. Please confirm that steel angle or channel framing, hot-dip galvanized after fabrication, is acceptable for this application. A: See Bid Addendum #4 Q: Drawing M801, shows a Clay Distribution System (provided by Owner per Addendum #1), which appears to consist of Peristalic Pump, 140 Gallon Poly Tank, Air Diffuser Blocks, Regenerative blowers and RAS Booster Sump. These Clay Distribution Systems are located in RAS 1 & 2. Please provide specifications and/or details for these items to be able to understand how to install this equipment. A: See Bid Addendum #4 Q: Are press fittings allowed on copper lines? A: See Bid Addendum #4 Q: Who is the basis of design for the drum filters? A: See Bid Addendum #4 Q: RE: Pump Duty Points. Written spec vs the schedule does not match (flows mostly match, but TDH values are different). This has impact on final motor sizing, which will have other upstream implications (VFD sizing, conduit, etc). A: See Bid Addendum #4 Q: 1.How much will the liquidated damages be 2.GS001 Calls for a thermal coefficent of 1.2. Please confirm the building will be unheated. 3.Since the mezzanine is to be engineer and supplied by the PEMB mfg, please confirm the PEMB mfg can design the beams and columns instead of following what is currently drawn on page S401 4.There is no mention of the PEMB primary or secondary coating. Is this to be manufacturer standard or is a specific coating (galvanized, primed, etc) preferred? 5.FM Global is listed in the PEMB section of the specs. Is this facility insured by FM Global? If not, can this requirement be removed as it adds cost to the PEMB design to meet FM Global Requirements. If an FM engineer is assigned to the job, please provide their report for the design of the metal panel attachments to the girts. 6.The PEMB mfg does not engineer anchor rods typically. Please confirm whether the PEMB sub is to provide engineering for them or is the structural engineer to provide engineering based on PEMB reactions? A: Answer for 78-1; this is based on the amount of the contract, refer to Section 9.R of the sample contract. A: See Bid Addendum #4
