Bidder Q&A — 11/18 answered from drawings

Based on the visible finish plans:

There is no dedicated finish schedule or interior finishes table on any of these sheets. Sheet A5.2 contains a Legend identifying floor finish materials (Concrete Overlay, Tile, Remove Existing, New Specs) and keynotes referencing finish specifications, and sheets A5.1 and A5.2 contain room-specific finish notes (walls, floor, ceiling) embedded in the plan views and detail callouts, but no formal finish schedule table is present on any of the four sheets.

From the visible drawings, the following tile callouts are identified: On A5.2 (Restroom Finish Plans and Details), floor tile callout 'CT53' and 'CT53 G15' appear in the Family Restroom Finish Plan (Detail 3). Wall tile callouts include 'CT51', 'CT54', 'CT76A', 'CT76B', and 'CT69' visible in the typical toilet tile elevation (Detail 11) and urinal elevations (Details 9 and 10). On PHM2.1 (Pharmacy Restroom Details), floor tile is called out as 'CT53 G15' in the Restroom Finish Floor Plan (Detail 1) and Restroom Floor Plan (Detail 4). In the Customer Front and Rear Restroom Finish Plans on A5.2, floor tile 'CT53' and wall tiles including 'CT51', 'CT54', 'CT69', 'CT76A', 'CT76B' are referenced. No manufacturer names, model numbers, full product names, sizes, or pattern specifications are legible at this resolution — only the color/type codes are visible. Refer to the finish schedule or specifications for full product data.

On sheet A5.2, the 'Typical Toilet Tile Elevation' (detail 11) and stall elevations show wall tile running as a wainscot with a gray tile field and a separate upper tile field. The legend and keynotes reference wall tile finish plans and 'CTW' (ceramic tile wall) designations. On sheet A5.2 detail 8 'Inside Corner Section,' the wall tile is shown going up to a specific height with 'Wall Tile REF Finish Plans' noted, and the tile is shown stopping below the ceiling with a distinct top edge. The drawings reference 'CTW G15' and 'CTW G16' tile types at varying heights corresponding to the stall partitions and wainscot bands, but a single explicit numeric height (e.g., 4 ft or 7 ft) is not clearly legible in the images provided. The sheet notes on A5.1 state 'REF FINISH PLANS' for wall tile heights.

Sheet PHM2.1 (Detail 3 'Restroom Wall and Base Section') specifies 5/8" cement board in lieu of water-resistant GYP board for the bottom 4' of wall, over existing metal studs and existing substrate. Sheet A5.2 (Detail 8 'Inside Corner Section') also references water-resistant GYP board (5/8" WR GYP BD) for wall substrate behind tile. No Hardiebacker, Schluter KERDI, or DITRA are mentioned. For the floor, no separate underlayment board is explicitly called out beyond 'floor finish ref plan.'

The following transition strips, edge trim, and base profiles are specified across the sheets:

On sheet A5.2, the keynotes legend references '1/8" GROUT JOINT' and details show grout joints, but no grout color, type (sanded/unsanded/epoxy), or specific thinset/mortar product is called out on any of the four visible sheets. Sheet A5.2 detail 8 (Inside Corner Section) references 'GYP BD SPEC' and 'VERTICAL SS PRICE CORNER TRIM SPECS' but does not specify grout type or color. No spec note quoting a grout product, color name, or mortar type is visible on sheets A5.1, A5.2, PHM2.1, or DD1.1.

On sheet A5.2, Detail 8 (Inside Corner Section) explicitly calls out 'water resistant GYP BD' on the wall substrate behind tile. Sheet PHM2.1, Detail 3 (Restroom Wall and Base Section) calls out '5/8" cement board in lieu of water-resistant GYP board for bottom 4' of wall, existing plywood to remain.' No waterproofing membrane product (KERDI, RedGard, hot-applied, or mud bed) is explicitly named on any of the four sheets. The cement board / water-resistant gyp board extends to 4' (48") above finish floor on the wall, but no dedicated waterproofing membrane is called out.

No showers of any kind (walk-in, roll-in, ADA, or fiberglass surround) are shown or referenced on any of these sheets. The restrooms depicted (Customer Front Restroom, Customer Rear Restrooms, Family Restroom on A5.1/A5.2, Pharmacy Restroom on PHM2.1, and the Dunkin tenant area on DD1.1) contain only toilets, urinals, lavatories, and related accessories. There are no shower walls, shower tile heights, or fiberglass surrounds specified anywhere on these drawings.

No explicit allowance dollar amounts, alternate bid items, or VE (value engineering) notes affecting flooring scope are shown on these sheets. However, owner-supplied items are noted on sheet DD1.1 (Dunkin Tenant Elevations): 'DROP ORANGE FEATURE SUPPLIED BY OWNER, INSTALLED BY GC PER MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS AT 7'-8" AFF.' This relates to the Dunkin kiosk feature, not flooring. On PHM2.1, the Pharmacy Restroom Transition Strip note states 'AS APPLICABLE: OWNER FURNISHED, GC INSTALLED ALUMINUM TRANSITION STRIP' (Detail 2, PHM2.1). No dollar amounts or formal alternates are listed on any of the four sheets.

The drawings show a concrete slab substrate. Sheet PHM2.1 (Detail 2 – Restroom Transition Strip and Detail 3 – Restroom Wall and Base Section) references 'concrete slab' and shows floor tile installed over concrete. Sheet A5.2 (Detail 5 – Transition at Exposed Edge of Concrete Overlay) explicitly references a 'concrete overlay' over the existing slab. No slab thickness, vapor barrier, self-leveling underlayment, or primer is specified on these sheets. Ask the GC/architect for the structural drawings or spec sections that detail slab thickness, vapor barrier requirements, and any self-leveling or primer specifications.

No door schedule is visible on any of the four provided sheets (A5.1, A5.2, PHM2.1, DD1.1). These sheets show restroom plans, finish plans, pharmacy restroom details, and Dunkin tenant elevations — none contain a door schedule with tagged door quantities by zone. To get door tags and quantities broken out by zone, ask the GC/architect for the door schedule sheet (likely an 'A' series sheet such as A8.xx or similar).

There is no dedicated demolition plan or asbestos/hazmat abatement sheet visible in these drawings. However, Sheet A5.1 (Customer Rear Restrooms, Detail 2) includes demo-related notes such as 'REMOVE ALL PLACARD SIGNAGE,' 'WALL HUNG ELECTRIC WATER COOLERS TO BE TEMPORARILY REMOVED FOR INSTALLATION OF NEW FINISHES AND REPLACED IN SAME LOCATION,' and references to 'REPAIR/REMOVE/REPLACE' items including fixtures and returns. Sheet PHM2.1 (Pharmacy Restroom Details) notes under the Pharmacy Toilet section: 'FLOOR: INSTALL NEW FLOORING CT53, G15, REF FINISH 1' and 'REPAIR/REMOVE/REPLACE' items. No separate demolition plan, existing-flooring removal scope, or asbestos/hazmat abatement callout is shown on any of the four sheets.

No moisture/relative humidity testing requirements (ASTM F2170, ASTM F1869, or similar) are explicitly shown on any of the four visible sheets (A5.1, A5.2, PHM2.1, DD1.1). No responsible party designation or maximum RH/moisture limit is specified in the visible drawings or notes. Ask the GC/architect to confirm whether moisture testing is required in the project specifications (CSI Division 01 or 09), who is responsible, and what the maximum allowable moisture/RH limits are.

On sheet PHM2.1 (Detail 2 – Restroom Transition Strip), the drawings explicitly call out: 'OWNER FURNISHED, GC INSTALLED ALUMINUM TRANSITION STRIP WITH CENTER LINE OF DOOR AND PANEL AS SCHEDULED, REF SPEC 09 61 6.' This identifies the aluminum transition strip as OFCI for the pharmacy restroom. No other flooring materials (tile, adhesive, base) are explicitly labeled as owner-furnished on any of the four sheets. The tile, grout, and base appear to be contractor-furnished based on finish plan callouts on A5.2 and PHM2.1, but no spec note explicitly states this. Ask the GC/architect to confirm whether any floor tile, wall base, or adhesive is owner-furnished for the customer restrooms or Dunkin' area.

No site-logistics constraints affecting flooring labor (working hours, occupied-building restrictions, staging areas, parking, elevator access, or phased turnover) are explicitly noted on sheets A5.1, A5.2, PHM2.1, or DD1.1. These sheets cover restroom plans/details, pharmacy restroom details, and Dunkin tenant elevations only. Ask the GC/architect for the project's Division 01 General Requirements specifications or the bid documents' site-logistics/construction phasing notes for this information.

On sheet A5.2, the finish plans show tile laid in a standard grid/stack bond pattern based on the tile field hatching visible in the Customer Front Restroom Finish Plan (Detail 1), Customer Rear Restroom Finish Plan (Detail 2), and Family Restroom Finish Plan (Detail 3). The Typical Toilet Tile Elevation (Detail 11) and the wall tile elevations also indicate a standard horizontal coursing pattern. No explicit offset percentage or herringbone/diagonal layout is called out. Layout note on PHM2.1 states 'Place full tiles against threshold' and 'Cut tile at wall, typ.' No 'centered on door' or similar centering note is explicitly visible.

The drawings show transition strips at exposed tile edges (Detail 4, A5.2: '2-1/2" x 1/2" anodized aluminum transition strip' with 'slope no greater than 1:2 for changes in level between 1/4" and 1/2"') and a continuous sealant joint at the tile/concrete overlay boundary, but no interior expansion/movement joint grid spacing (e.g., every 20-25 ft per TCNA EJ-171), no explicit joint width specification, no Schluter DILEX profile callout, and no perimeter or field movement joint locations are shown or noted. Sheet A5.2 Detail 8 (Inside Corner Section) shows a sealant at inside corners between wall tile and floor, and Detail 7 (Outside Corner Detail) also references sealant, but these are edge/corner conditions only. No spec note addressing TCNA EJ-171 spacing, systematic field movement joints, or named sealant product for expansion joints is visible on any sheet.
