Questions and answers after the pre-bid meeting:
Question 1:
The front of the lower foot locker on a 24x24 Recruiter locker is normally slanted inward at the bottom to allow for a more comfortable sitting position (see attached detail). But we can also provide a straight-front foot locker. Which type of foot locker front is required? Straight front or slanted front?
Answer: Slanted, as shown.
Question 2:
Drawing A1.1 and A5.1 indicate the lockers are to have a “hard maple finish”. Detail 16/A1.1 indicates the corner panel is red oak plywood with hard maple finish. The Recruiter lockers supplied on previous WSU projects were fabricated from red oak plywood and lumber with a clear finish. That is our standard species/finish.
- Please confirm which wood species is required for this project: red oak or maple?
Answer: Maple.
- Please confirm that a clear finish (no stain) is acceptable.
Answer: Clear Finish.
Question 3:
We provided an etched “W” logo on the upper security box door on previous WSU projects. Is the “W” logo (or any logo) required on the security box door for this project?
Answer: No Logo.
Question 4:
Where does the resilient athletic flooring (spec section 09625) as shown on PS1.2; occur? it’s not shown on the room finish or other plans, is this flooring required at all on this project ?
