structures, and also extend to the main primary building structure at both the north and south <br /> sides. The six"covered walkway" structures do not have the faux base column detail that the"bus <br /> stop"structures have. All these structures are structurally independent of each other. There is not <br /> a physical connection between the seven "bus stops", the six "covered walkways", or with the <br /> primary building structure. <br /> The column detailing that surrounds the aluminum columns of the seven "bus stop" structures <br /> may be site built with the EIFS material as detailed, or pre-manufactured — but shall match the <br /> architectural detailing of the main structure. The intent is to have the structure match the <br /> architectural details, colors(pre-finished)and roofing of the principle structure. Aluminum framing <br /> member sizes indicated on the plans are minimum sizes for aesthetic purposes. If structural <br /> calculations require greater sizes or closer spacing then depicted on the plans, the sizes shall be <br /> modified accordingly The final design will be reviewed by the architect for aesthetics and <br /> consistency with intent of the preliminary plans during the "submittal' process. <br /> Electrical power as depicted on the Electrical plans at the secondary building structures should <br /> be routed through framing members where possible, and hidden from view. <br /> Q-4. The GC has to provide permit ready plans for the canopy? <br /> A-4: Yes, the contractor shall be responsible for the design of the secondary building structure, <br /> including signed and sealed drawings by licensed architect(s) and engineer(s)as required by the <br /> building department in order to obtain a building permit for the secondary building structure. <br /> Q-5. All of this would have to be submitted to the owner, then to the building department, <br /> reviewed and then constructed within 180 days? <br /> A-5: Yes,the preliminary design including coordination with a building systems manufacturer,final <br /> design, building permit application and permit issuance, and construction of the structure shall be <br /> completed within the time frame allocated in the bid documents. <br /> Q-6. Where did the concept come from for this being pre-engineered? <br /> A-6.The concept initially was to provide an aluminum framed flat roofed pre-engineered structure, <br /> similar to those used on many IRC school sites at the drop off/ pick up areas. The design team <br /> decided that the project should provide more aesthetically pleasing structures matching the <br /> primary building structure design, since the secondary structure(s) are surrounding and in front of <br /> the primary structure. There should be consistency in design and appearance. There are several <br /> suppliers of pre-manufactured aluminum structures The design team does not endorse any <br /> particular supplier. However, two suppliers that may be able to meet the project requirements <br /> include <br /> 1.
