The most recent Master Spreadsheet (dated May 28, 2026) reflects 100 CLINs following removal of CLIN 0051 (Buffalo, VISN 2) and addition of one elevator to CLIN 0061 (Brooklyn, VISN 2), increasing Brooklyn from 16 to 17 elevators.
Bidders must hold an active state-issued elevator contractor license or certification in their own name; a single state license satisfies the requirement regardless of worksite locations. All personnel must comply with background investigations commensurate with VA facility access. Bidders must demonstrate proof of bonding capacity for performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of contract price, current workers' compensation and general liability insurance ($500,000 per occurrence), and employer's liability coverage of at least $100,000.

A Professional Engineer is required where work modifies structural, plumbing, electrical, fire protection, or other building systems.
