Bidder Q&A — 5/18 answered from drawings

Per sheet A-644 (Finish Schedules), the following floor finish materials are specified: TF-60 – Ceramic Bath Tile (guest bath tile, mosaic sheet); TF-61 – Bath Hall Tile (porcelain, 12x24); TF-61 – Penny Tile (porcelain round 3/4" mesh); TF-62 – Pencil Liner Trim Tile; WC-48/49/51/52/53/54/55 – Various Wall Coverings (field and headboard); WF-03 – Wood Floor (engineered/engineered herringbone pattern, Bella Z/X Rusty White Select); GL-40 – Reeded Glass; GR-60 – Grout for Stone Floor (cream/gray); GR-61 – Grout for Stone Wall; IS-40 – Tile Sealing (guest bath); PT-01/PT-02/PT-03 – Paint (standard guestroom, suite guestroom, guestroom/millwork); SF-46 – Specialty Finish (Veneer); ST-46 – Stone and Quartz (Calcutta Veneer); WD-03 – Stain Grade Wood (quarter sawn); WD-01 – Wood Species (GC choice, no visible graining); S-60 – Wood Stain (to match wood veneer SF-01). Specific room-by-room floor finish assignments are not shown on these sheets — the finish schedule lists material specs but the room-to-finish matrix/floor plan are not visible here.

Yes. Sheet A-644 contains the Finish Schedule. It is divided into two sections: 'FINISH SCHEDULE - OFCI' (Owner Furnished, Contractor Installed) on the left half and 'FINISH SCHEDULE - CFCI' (Contractor Furnished, Contractor Installed) on the right half. The schedule lists finish types including tile (TI-01, TI-02, TI-03), wall coverings (WC-48 through WC-55), wood floor (WF-03), glass (GL-40), grout (GR-00, GR-01), installation systems (IS-40), metal (MT-40), paint (PT-00 through PT-03), trim (TR-59, TR-61), wood species (WD-03, WD-01), specialty finish (SF-40), stone and quartz (ST-40), and wood stain (S-00). Sheets A-620 and A-621 contain Door Schedules only, with no interior finish information.

From sheet A-644 (Finish Schedule), the following tile products are called out:

Sheet A-644 lists tile finish entries but does not explicitly state a specific wainscot height (e.g., 4 ft or 7 ft) for restroom wall tile. The finish schedule entries for bath tile (TI-50, TI-51, TI-52) and wall coverings do not include a written installation height note visible at this resolution. No spec note on any of the three sheets explicitly states 'full height to ceiling,' a specific wainscot dimension, or 'shower stall only' for restroom wall tile. Ask the GC/architect to provide the restroom finish plan or interior elevation sheets that call out the exact tile height.

Sheet A-644 (Finish Schedule) does not explicitly call out a tile substrate product by name such as Hardiebacker, cement board, or Schluter KERDI/DITRA for floor or wall tile installations. The finish schedule entries for bath tile (TF-01, TH-00, TH-01, TH-02) and wall coverings reference manufacturers and installation notes, but no specific substrate material or thickness is legibly specified in the visible schedule. Sheets A-620 and A-621 are door schedule/hardware sheets and contain no tile substrate information. Ask the GC or architect to confirm the specified tile substrate product and thickness, or check the project specifications (likely Division 09 or 07).

Yes, grout is specified on sheet A-644. Two grout entries are listed under 'GROUT': GR-00 is described as 'DESCRIPTION: GROUT FOR STONE FLOOR' with 'COLOR/FINISH: OC CREAM GRAY' and manufacturer 'CUSTOM BUILDING PRODUCTS'; GR-01 is 'DESCRIPTION: GROUT FOR STONE WALL' with 'COLOR/FINISH: CHARCOAL' and manufacturer 'CUSTOM BUILDING PRODUCTS'. No grout type (sanded/unsanded/epoxy) is explicitly stated, and no thinset/mortar product is specified on these sheets.

Sheet A-644 (Finish Schedules) specifies tile installation system IS-40 as 'TILE SEALING @ GUEST BATH' with manufacturer Schluter Systems, noted as 'THIS IS A FIBERGLASS PROTECTION FOR THE OUTSIDE CORNERS OF THE TILED SHOWER EDGE & BASE.' The grout spec GR-01 references 'GROUT FOR STONE WALL' by Custom Building Products. No explicit waterproofing membrane product (KERDI, RedGard, hot-applied, or mud bed) is called out by name in these sheets, nor is a floor-to-wall height dimension specified for waterproofing. The IS-40 Schluter reference may imply KERDI system but it is not explicitly stated. Ask the GC/architect for the waterproofing membrane specification and required turn-up height at walls.

Sheet A-644 lists tile types for bath walls (TB-00 'Guest Bath Hall Tile,' TB-01 'Guest Bath Floor/Penny Tile,' TB-02 'Guest Bath Pencil Tile,' and GR-01 'Grout for Stone Wall'), indicating tiled shower/bath walls in guestrooms. Specific tile height is not explicitly stated on these sheets — the finish schedule references dimensions and pattern names but no numeric height-to-ceiling callout is visible. No fiberglass surround product is listed anywhere on A-644. Sheets A-620 and A-621 are Door Schedule sheets and contain no restroom wall finish or shower enclosure information. ADA/roll-in shower designation is not addressed on any of these three sheets.

No allowance dollar amounts, owner-supplied items, alternates, or VE (value engineering) notes affecting the flooring scope are explicitly shown on any of the three sheets (A-644, A-620, A-621). The Finish Schedule on A-644 lists flooring products and specifications but contains no allowance figures, owner-furnished designations, alternate bids, or VE annotations. Ask the GC/architect whether a separate bid form, specification division (e.g., Division 01 Alternates or Allowances), or addendum contains any such items affecting flooring.

The drawings do not explicitly specify the slab/subfloor construction type, thickness, vapor barrier, or self-leveling underlayment requirements. Sheet A-644 (Finish Schedules) references General Finish Note #2 citing NFPA 101 and 2012 IBC Section 804 regarding interior floor finishes, and Note #6 references 2010 ADA floor covering requirements, but no slab type, thickness, vapor barrier, or self-leveling primer is called out on any of the three sheets provided. Ask the GC/architect to provide the structural drawings and/or project specifications (Division 03 and 09) that define subfloor/slab construction, thickness, vapor barrier requirements, and any specified self-leveling or primer products.

Sheet A-621 contains the full door schedule for the Stricklander Marriott Autograph Public Space. The doors are organized by floor/area, not by the zone categories listed in the question (customer restrooms, family, employee, pharmacy, tenant). Visible zones are: BASEMENT (marks B01–B42, approximately 42 entries), FIRST FLOOR (marks 101–135A and 119A–135A range, approximately 40+ entries), and what appears to be additional floors partially visible. Exact door tags per row are too small to read with full confidence at this resolution. Sheet A-620 covers guestroom model room doors (U01–U06, 6 entries). The categories referenced in the question (customer restrooms, family, employee, pharmacy, tenant) do not appear as labeled zones on any visible schedule. Ask the GC/architect to provide a legend or zone breakdown matching those categories, or request a higher-resolution version of A-621 to count all door tags precisely.

No demolition plan, existing-flooring removal scope, or asbestos/hazmat abatement notes are visible on any of the three sheets provided (A-644, A-620, A-621). A-644 is a Finish Schedule, A-620 is a Door Schedule with frame/sill details, and A-621 is a Door Schedule for the public space. Ask the GC/architect to provide the demolition drawings and any hazmat/abatement specifications for this project.

No explicit requirement for concrete slab moisture or relative humidity testing (ASTM F2170, ASTM F1869, or similar) is shown on sheets A-644, A-620, or A-621. The General Finish Notes on A-644 reference NFPA, IBC, and carpet/flooring compliance standards but do not mention moisture/RH testing, responsible party, or a maximum RH/moisture limit. Ask the GC/architect to confirm whether a moisture testing specification exists in the project specifications (CSI divisions 03, 09, or elsewhere) and who bears responsibility.

Per the FINISH SCHEDULE - OFCI on sheet A-644, the header states 'ALL ITEMS NOTED ON THIS SCHEDULE WILL BE CONTRACTOR PROVIDED AND CONTRACTOR INSTALLED' — wait, that is the CFCI schedule. The left column is labeled 'FINISH SCHEDULE - OFCI' with the subheader 'ALL ITEMS NOTED ON THIS SCHEDULE WILL BE CONTRACTOR PROVIDED AND CONTRACTOR INSTALLED.' The OFCI schedule on A-644 lists the following flooring-related items: TF-01 (Guest Bath Tile, vendor Arizonа Tile, WC-53 mosaic sheet), TH-01 (Guest Bath Wall Tile, Kristen Harris), TH-41 (Guest Bath Pencil Tile, Arizona Tile), WC-48/WC-51/WC-52/WC-53/WC-54/WC-55 (various wall coverings), and WF-03 (Wood/Herringbone Engineered Floor, Style: Dhyalla 2/6 Rusty White Select). No explicit OFCI callout for transition strips, base, or adhesives is visible on these sheets — those items do not appear under the OFCI column. The flooring sub should confirm with the GC/architect whether base (TR-59, TR-60, TR-61 trim items listed in CFCI) and adhesives are also OFCI or bid by the sub.

None of the three sheets (A-644, A-620, A-621) contain site-logistics notes addressing working hours, after-hours or weekend access, occupied-building restrictions, staging areas, parking, elevator access, or phased turnover. The General Finish Notes on A-644 address only code compliance (NFPA, IBC, ASTM) and material performance requirements. The Door Schedule sheets (A-620, A-621) contain only door/frame/hardware and signage notes. Ask the GC/architect to provide the Project Manual Division 01 specifications and any site-logistics drawings or pre-construction meeting minutes for these constraints.

Sheet A-644 (Finish Schedules) lists several tile types but does not explicitly call out an installation pattern name (e.g., running bond, herringbone, diagonal, stack bond) for any of the tile finish codes (TI-50, TI-51, TI-52, etc.). The wall covering entries reference pattern repeats and widths, but no tile layout/offset pattern or centering notes (e.g., 'start centered on door') are visible on any of the three sheets provided. Sheets A-620 and A-621 are door schedules with no tile pattern information.

No tile movement/expansion joint specifications are explicitly shown on any of the three visible sheets (A-644, A-620, A-621). Sheet A-644 lists tile finishes (TF-01, TH-00, TH-01, TH-02) and General Finish Notes, but none of those notes reference movement joint spacing, joint width, sealant type, Schluter DILEX profiles, or required locations (perimeter, doorways, large floor fields). Ask the GC/architect to provide the tile installation specifications (likely in the Project Manual/CSI Division 09 30 00 spec section) and any flooring plan drawings that call out expansion joint locations and details.
