For the base bid, which waterproofing system and upturn height apply at the facade interface in detail 5/A-501? Check whether Addendum 02 modifies the specification.

Searches

3 sources reviewedBase package + Addendum 02Done

Finding

The specification requires an SBS membrane with a minimum 200 mm upturn. Detail 5/A-501 shows 150 mm, while Addendum 02 requires continuous sealing but does not clarify which height governs.123

Bid impact

The difference affects membrane quantity, terminations, and responsibility for perimeter sealing.

Next action

Do not assume the lower height. Issue an RFI before bid close and carry an identified allowance in the estimate.

Important answers are spread across too many files.

The assistant concentrates document querying without removing professional control: the team opens available sources before using a critical finding.

Questions without context

A generic chat does not know which spec, sheet, or addendum version applies.

Slow manual citations

Finding the exact page to support an answer can take longer than drafting it.

Disconnected drafts

Findings lose value when they do not move directly into an RFI, report, or proposal.

From question to verifiable deliverable.

One real bid, from question to RFI

The scenario follows a waterproofing conflict in bid LPN-014/2026.

Preconstruction asks the question

The team asks which upturn height to price when the specification and detail 5/A-501 disagree.

Response 18 · Waterproofing

Bidder question

Confirm whether waterproofing and sealing at facade interfaces form part of the base bid and identify the applicable detail.

Official response

Waterproofing identified in section 07 13 00 is confirmed as part of the base bid scope.

The contractor must ensure membrane continuity and perimeter sealing at all facade interfaces, in accordance with the architectural details.

Bidders must include all required accessories and terminations. All other specification requirements remain unchanged.

This response forms an integral part of the bid package. Requirements not expressly modified remain in effect.

RFI-007 · Waterproofing and facade interface

To: Procurement Unit — MOP
Subject: Membrane continuity at facade interface

During our review of the bid package, we identified a difference between the system described in the specification and the interface shown in the drawings.

Clarification requested

Confirm the compatible membrane type, minimum upturn height, and whether perimeter sealing must be included in the base bid.

A response is requested by August 12 so the scope and cost can be incorporated into the bid.
