RFA-21-18-WEA Page 17 of 76

prohibited individuals after issuance of this RFA and before selection is made,

Directors or employees except for communications with AACOG’s

designated representative as set forth in this RFA and only in the course of

RFA-21-18-WEA Page 18 of 76

2.5 PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND THE PUBLIC INFORMATION ACT

2.5.1 Because contracts are awarded by a governmental entity, all responses

submitted are subject to release as public information after contracts are

executed. If a Respondent believes that its response, or parts of its

response, may be exempted from disclosure, the Respondent must specify

page-by-page and line-by-line the parts of the response, which it believes,

are exempt. In addition, the Respondent must specify which exception(s)

are applicable and provide detailed reasons to substantiate the

exception(s). Any information that is unmarked will be considered public

information and released, if requested under the Public Information Act.

2.5.2 The determination of whether information is confidential and not subject to

disclosure is the duty of the Texas Office of Attorney General (OAG).

AACOG must provide the OAG sufficient information to render an opinion

and therefore, vague and general claims to confidentiality by the

Respondent are not acceptable. AACOG must comply with the opinions of

the OAG. AACOG assumes no responsibility for asserting legal arguments

on behalf of any Respondent. Respondents are advised to consult with their

legal counsel concerning disclosure issues resulting from this procurement

process and to take precautions to safeguard trade secrets and other

proprietary information. After completion of award, these documents will be

available for public inspection.

Submit a change order request in writing with all of the accompanying

documentation/specifications for the specific unit, regarding the above requirements and

submit this request for approval.

Do not purchase and or order any substituted item that deviates from the approved

specifications unless you receive written approval from AACOG. If you or your sub-

contractors install unapproved fixtures and or accessories you shall not be paid

for those items. Approval after the fact for unauthorized fixtures, material and or

accessories is a disallowed cost.

Note:

These shower stalls come with a water stopper/retainer or collapsible water dam of some

type to keep the water in the shower stall. The water retainer sometimes looks like an

upside-down letter “T” which is caulked in place. A wheel chair can then run over it and it

springs back into shape. In some instances, the Description of Work (DOW) may call for

a Semi-Permanent Threshold to be installed and generally this is an optional threshold

that is caulked in place with silicone caulking over the water retaining device. It can be

removed at a later date if there is a reason to do so. If there is not a need for a wheel

chair, the semi-permanent threshold will be specified to be installed in the shower stall.

Be advised that these are two (2) separate items and the semi-permanent threshold may

not come standard and you will have to order it as optional if it is being required in the

DOW for a specific project.

Grab Bar specifications:

See the Texas accessibility Standards for grab bar placement, installation, load

requirements. The 2012 ADA Standards for Accessible Design is also a good resource

for useful information on this topic. Be sure to plan ahead and back block for the grab

bars early in the process.

General requirements:

Grab bars and any wall or other surfaces adjacent to grab bars shall be free of sharp or

abrasive element and shall have rounded ends. Grab bars shall not rotate within their

fittings. Grab bars shall be installed in any manner that provides a gripping surface at the

specified locations and that does not obstruct the required clear floor space.

Allowed structural strength stress shall not exceed material specifications used, when a

vertical or horizontal force of 250 lbs. is applied at any point on the grab bar, fastener,

mounting device or supporting structure.

It is the contractor’s responsibility to plan ahead and back brace between framing

members adequately to support the grab bar installation. While the Texas Accessibility

Standards suggest specific height and measurements regarding the location and

installation of the grab bars. It is strongly recommended that you consult the end user of

the grab bar for the appropriate location. TAS determines the number of grab bars based

on the size of the shower stall and also the size and location of the shower seat and tub

seat. Your contract will list the specific number of grab bars to be installed, their specific

lengths and the specific size of any required tub and or shower stall seat.

The following information is given as a guide as to where you might find various sizes of

Installation Guidelines:

Installation Procedures for Drywall:

To prevent problems, use good quality framing lumber and follow these

recommendations:

For walls 8 feet high or less, run drywall sheets perpendicular to the studs or horizontally,

with the long side of the drywall sheets parallel to the floor.

Make sure the drywall is tight against the framing before fastening.

Install with screws, which have better holding power than nails and are less likely to tear

or weaken the drywall facing. Use the correct length fastener. Either longer or shorter

than recommended can lead to nail pops.

Maintain the temperature at 55°F to 70°F during and after applying the joint compound.

If using fiberglass mesh rather than paper tape, use setting-type joint compound to embed

the mesh, since it is not as strong as paper tape.

Install drywall on ceilings before walls and use floating corners to allow for some

movement. Keep butted joints (short ends) to a minimum, and butt the sheets together

loosely. Because they are untapered they are more visible.

Framing Specifications for Successful Drywall Installation:

Drywall should be installed over straight and level framing. If the framing is excessively

wet, it will crack the drywall and cause nail pops as it shrinks. If the framing is twisted,

bowed, or out of alignment, it will cause weak points in the surface and possible cracking.

Repair or replace problem studs before installing the drywall.

Framing Spans Recommended for Ceiling & Wall Drywall Installation. Consult Applicable

Building Code requirements for Local jurisdiction.

The building should be heated before finishing begins and maintained at 55°F to 70°F

throughout taping and finishing. If the weather is too hot and dry, paper drywall tape may

not bond well and joints may experience excess shrinkage and cracking.

Mesh vs. Paper Tape Choices for Drywall Seams:

Mesh tape is easier to apply but not as strong as paper tape. It should never be used in

inside corners, where it can tear or be cut by the trowel. However, if combined with setting-

type compound, mesh tape is nearly as strong as paper tape and can produce a quality

job. Mesh tape is also very useful for repairing cracks in older plaster walls or ceilings.

ASTM

C1028

Slip Test

This standard tests the anti

-slip properties by determining the coefficient

of friction between the tile and a body with a rubber surfa

ce. This test is

performed in both dry and wet conditions.

The COF (coefficient of

friction) is defined as the horizontal force needed to overcome the vertical

force of the objects weight.

ADA recommendations floor tile meet or exceed a rating of .60 wet

and

dry.

ISO 10545-7

ASTM C1027

Resistance to Abrasion and Tread Wear

Abrasion resistance is the capacity of the glazed surface to resist the

wear caused by foot traffic or the abrasion caused by mechanical

equipment.

The wear action determines the suitable applications for

each tile.

Class 5 Heavy Commercial: suitable for intense commercial

and all residential; Class 4

Commercial: suitable for medium

commercial and all residential; Class 3 Heavy Residential, Light

Commercial; suitable

for all residential, average abrasion; Class 2

Residential: suitable for residential excluding kitchen, entryways, and

stairs; Class 1 Light Residential: barefoot traffic and traffic without

abrasive dirt; Class 0

Wall tile only; not suitable for floors.

Through body porcelain tile does not have a glaze and does not

receive this test. It receives the deep abrasion test 10545

6. (conform

or not conform)

ISO 10545-3

Water Absorption

Absorption is the product capacity for water penetration.

Porcelain

tile

is an impervious, very dense product with a very low absorbency

rate.

Ceramic tiles are more porous and generally less durable than

porcelain tiles due to a less dense body composition.

Ceramic wall

tiles are the least dense and can have a water absorption rate of over

10% of its weight. Porcelain tile is less than .5% absorption by

definition therefore it meets ISO standard 10545-3.

RFA-21-18-WEA Page 58 of 76

Break Strength

Tests the tiles resistance to heavy loads.

The breaking strength is the

force needed to brea

k the tile.
