Addendum 1 – Jan. 24, 2025

Q: Do the trusses and 2×8 wall studs all need to be pressure treated due to the salt exposure?
A: Treated 2×8 wall studs would be preferred in the salt storage area but are not listed in the plans. Only the 2×8 sill plate is listed as treated in the plans.

Q: Sheet A9, I believe they made a typo on the truss/ plate tie iso. They called for a galvanized 6×6 post base. Do they mean they want the truss plates / gussets galvanized? 
A: For truss plates on engineered trusses galvanized or stainless steel would be sufficient.  

Addendum 2 – Jan. 28, 2025

Q: Is there an elevation for the finish floor height of the new building in relation to the existing site? Is there a benchmark we are using at the existing site?
A: There is a site plan with elevations listed that will be sent to all contractors who have requested blueprints.

Q: The concrete stoop shown on detail sheet A-15 is shown on the floor plan in front of only 1 of the exterior doors. Is that correct? Is there a size and thickness?
A: 5-foot x 5-foot x 6 inches thick for all man doors.

Q: Concrete aprons are shown on multiple detail sheets but are not shown on the floor plan in front of any of the overhead doors. Do you have locations, sizes, thickness, and reinforcement?
A: We will address this as an add-on or the City will contract this work based on budget and cost.

Q: The 14′ x 14′ overhead door is shown on sheet A8 with 3-16″ LVL for headers, then shown on sheet A14 with 3-20″ LVL headers. Can you clarify?
