Bid Questions

Question	Is the owner installing all their own equipment or is there a list of owner-supplied contractor-installed equipment?
Answer	There will be a list of owner-supplied contractor-installed equipment.
Submitted	9/20/2023 11:18:55 AM (CT)

Question	Will the University have a separate design team designing the process and equipment going into the new building and the design-build design team only designs the right size building and provide the power and water in the building for your equipment to be connected to?
Answer	There is a separate design team for the ammonia production system. The design-build team will be designing the new building for either the hydrogen or nitrogen system. If it is the hydrogen system in the new building, water and power will be required. If it is the nitrogen system, only power will be needed.

Question	Will there be any work required for a new septic system or are we to only include work to tie into an existing drain pipe on the site?
Answer	Unknown at this time.

Submitted	9/20/2023 10:30:40 AM (CT)

Question	Are we designing to meet the code or are there portions of the building such as the efficiency of the envelope that we want to surpass the code?
Answer	The project needs to design to code. Since this is a equipment shelter, there may be some exceptions to code vs. an occupied building.
Submitted	9/20/2023 10:30:31 AM (CT)

Question	Will this building need to show energy code compliance such as a com-check report?
Answer	I am not sure how to answer this question at this time. These are equipment shelters, not necessarily occupied spaces.
Submitted	9/20/2023 10:30:21 AM (CT)

Question	From an architectural service perspective will the University need a signed code plan, floor, roof plans, elevations, and sections?
Answer	We will need a signed code plan, floor plans, roof plans, etc.
Submitted	9/20/2023 10:30:04 AM (CT)

Question	Does the user know if the hydrogen or nitrogen production process will be in the new building and what process will stay in the existing building?
Answer	This depends on the size of the hydrogen and nitrogen production systems. If either is too large to fit into the existing building, then it will be located in the new building.
Submitted	9/20/2023 10:29:52 AM (CT)

Question	Is there an anticipated size or dimensions of the new building?
Answer	The new building will depend on the size of the hydrogen and nitrogen production systems. We anticipate it should be similar in size to the ammonia building.
