## Description

Questions resulting from the Site Visit and Vendor Submissions 1) On Taylor building, what is the skyline? It is the glass above the atrium as shown in the picture below. It was shown during the tour. 2) On Taylor building, Are we doing the skylights on the atrium? circled below  Yes. This was told and shown during the tour. 3) In the PDF the last pages have window counts, the windows of Taylor street are given as below.

They only mentioned the bigger panes(4'6"x3'), how about the small ones, are we not doing those? Also in pic below. I have the same question for Bed Pavilion as well. There seems to be some small panes that are not included in the count, unless I am missing something.  (4'6"x3') is the measurement of both parts of the window together.  4) Are we doing the blue walk way?

If so, what is the name mentioned in SOW? There is more than one, but if this refers to the canopies themselves, the answer is no.  What is Operable? Its in the same grid for window count, where it says Yes or No. Refers to operable windows versus fixed windows. Operable Windows can be cleaned from the inside Operable Windows are lighter by comparison Fixed Windows are heavier and potentially more fragile Fixed Windows do not allow fresh air into living/work spaces
