Open Items / RFI

Questions for the customer; each frames what the answer would change.

I framed each open question with what we assumed and what an answer would change. The intent is to make 'what we don't know' as legible as 'what we do.'

Items only the customer can answer. Phase 8 consolidates and prioritizes; phases prior write entries as they are surfaced.

IDPriorityQuestionWhy we need itLinked assumptionImpact if customer's answer differs
Q-001HighConfirm whether per-guestroom HVAC controls (FCU thermostats, occupancy sensors, PMS-driven setbacks) are in BMS contractor scope or excluded (handled under fit-out / separate trade).Project-specific BMS Points list shows no guestroom FCU points. Affects BOQ by PHP 8M–15M.A-004If in scope: add ~2,000–4,000 points + per-room FCU controllers + thermostats + PMS gateway.
Q-002HighProvide the latest mechanical (HVAC) layout drawings — chiller plant, AHU/DOAS room layouts, FCU/exhaust locations per floor.Drives equipment-placement assumptions, cable runs, panel-to-equipment cabling.A-005Materially refines A3 cable schedule.
Q-003HighProvide required completion date / project schedule.Drives mobilization, manpower-loading, T&C window, possible after-hours premiums.A-011If <10 wk: +20% labor (double shift).
Q-004MediumProvide architectural floor plans (all floors).For accurate cable route lengths and equipment placement.A-023Reduces typical-range fallback share; tightens BOQ.
Q-005MediumProvide EE-24 Power Riser Diagram Part 2 of 2.Confirms guestroom-tower distribution and metering scope.A-015Per-floor guestroom-feeder metering may be required (+~10 meters, +~2,000 m cable).
Q-006MediumProvide plumbing/sanitary layouts.Confirms calorifier, heat-pump, recirc-pump locations.A-005Refines plant-room cable lengths.
Q-007MediumConfirm BMS network topology and head-end location: isolated BMS LAN with single uplink to customer LAN; server-room placement adjacent to MV/LV. Confirm count of operator workstations and HMI clients.A5/A6 head-end + network architecture.A-006, A-016Casino regulatory may require redundant supervisor (+PHP 800K); full IP-to-field adds licensing.
Q-008MediumConfirm approved brand list for: BMS controllers/DDC, supervisory/head-end, room sensors, valves, BTU meters, power meters, switches, UPS, VFDs. (Megaworld MC Standards DRC-004-2024 referenced.)Brand-locking affects pricing ±5–15%.A-007Re-quote at customer-approved equivalents.
Q-009LowConfirm whether hotel PMS integration (per-room occupancy → HVAC setbacks) is required.If required, gateway + custom point mapping needed.A-008If yes: +PHP 800K base; could be priced as optional add-on.
Q-010MediumConfirm casino-zone special points: vault-door status, count-room HVAC isolation, smoking-zone exhaust strategy, gaming-floor IAQ regulator references (PAGCOR / local gaming-board minimums).Casino-specific points beyond what's in BMS-02.A-009, A-025Add ~30–60 points + door hardware.
Q-011LowConfirm BOH kitchen exhaust / Ansul / hood-fire-suppression interlock scope.Determines whether BMS-side wiring of fire interlock relays is required.A-010If required: +PHP 200K; coordination with kitchen FS contractor.
Q-012MediumConfirm commercial terms: warranty period, payment milestones, retention %, LD %, tax handling, currency.Commercial-contingency calibration.A-012Harsher terms: +1–3% contingency.
Q-013LowConfirm working-hours / site-access constraints (after-hours, noise restrictions, weekend work).Labor premium calibration.A-013After-hours mandate: +15–25% labor.
Q-014LowConfirm training and O&M scope: number of training rounds, attendees per session, O&M contract term beyond 12-month warranty.Discrete priced line items.A-014Extended O&M priced separately.
Q-015HighCover letter says "Rehabilitation" but Construction Bulletins are dated 2025 with "For Construction" status and no existing-system inventory was provided. Please confirm: greenfield (new construction) or rehabilitation?Highest-leverage classification axis; ±25–30% cost.A-001If actually rehab: rework with demolition + cutover + reuse evaluation.
