Addenda item Q3 – We note there is a wall to be deleted in both change room 1 & 2 and the shower floor appears to be shown as deleted also. There are new doors shown on the architectural drawing no. CD401 rev C. These do not appear to be on the door detail sheet CD510 rev C. Can you please confirm if these are to be allowed for and the specification for same. Is the existing toilet to remain or new to match the new toilets?

Can we please request clarification on the following items:

1) DL03 & DL02 we cannot place on the schedules, can you please confirm the lock specification.

4) Door Detail – Typical door 1-7 shown on drawing CD510 rev C we have concern that the door hardware if mortice will not fit in the welded 90x40 aluminium box to the perimeter. Further we have concern that without additional stiffening members the doors with 3mm aluminium plate will be prone to racking / warping. Can you please review this?

5) The door jambs shown as 90x40 and 140x40 to the toilets D03 to D07. Is there to be door stops allowed and if so, what is the dimension of these and the fixing detail. Is there a structural fixing detail for these posts? We note that there is a horizontal member shown above the doors. Further, are the toilet partition panels to the toilets D03 to D07 expected to span from the door jamb posts to the back wall, panel size circa 2200x2200?

6) D01 & D02 are aluminium custom fabricated doors, are the door jambs for these to be steel built into the 140 blockworks? Can you please provide profile and material specification for these door frames. Is there a block work lintel etc over these door frames noting that the stainless-steel woven mesh screen is on top of this wall with approx. 400mm of block over the door frame.

7) Vent detail (TRS1) shown on drawing CD902 shows galvanised metal angle for the mesh vent, fixed to powder coated door head or capping block, the mesh is specified as stainless steel woven mesh. Can you please confirm this?

8) Is there detail for the TRS1 screen connection to the staircase, can we assume this is to be as per our item 7 above. Is there structural engineering detail for this? Further is their connection or post detail for the HR2 handrail the same?

9) Is there further detailing for the gate which was briefly discussed at the tender meeting which is to be located at the bottom of the new staircase?

10) Drawing CD703 & CD801 show a TRS1 screen. Can you confirm the location of this, is this to be located on grid 6 from grid F to H? or is there possibly a grab rail required in this location?

11) Can you please confirm that the breezeblocks noted on CD301 are to be demolished and stored for stage 2 which is outside the scope of this tender? What is the requirement for cleaning / storage of same? How is the risk of damage to these breeze blocks allocated?

12) Can you please confirm that BAL 1 is welded powder coated aluminium and is located on the long and short side of the stair penetration? BAL 2 is timber to match existing to the perimeter of the deck only. Is engineering certification required to these and if so, will council provide same, or should the contractor allow for this?

13) Can you please further to the above confirm that BAL 1 is located on the staircase at ground level at the intersection of grid 7 & H only?

We are happy to make allowances and offer design solutions for specific items, should this be preferred.
