About this file
This file is a Questions and Answers document (Amendment 0002 – Attachment 1) for Solicitation No. 140L4326Q0079 issued by the BLM Spokane District for the Turn Point Lighthouse Furnace Replacement project in Washington. The document addresses 13 clarifying questions submitted by potential contractors regarding project requirements and logistics. Key clarifications include: one individual may serve as Superintendent, Safety and Site Health Officer, and Quality Control Manager; the period of performance may be extended after award through bilateral modification when justified by equipment lead times; the building is unoccupied and located on a non-ferry served island with daily barge and water taxi service available; no asbestos or lead is present; no third-party inspections, permitting, partitioning, dust containment, or negative air machines are required; and the existing units are upflow furnaces currently using PVC venting. The contractor must commence work within ten calendar days of receiving the notice to proceed and complete all work, including final cleanup, within 180 days. Purchases in Washington State are generally subject to sales and use tax unless a specific state exemption applies. The document also includes a photograph of the current furnace equipment (labeled AHU-2) showing an upflow unit with PVC venting installed in the basement of the lighthouse.

Questions and Answers No. 1-13
Q1: Can one person "triple hat" as Superintendent, SSHO and QC Manager?
A1: Yes.
Q2: Can the period of performance be extended after award once the material/equipment lead times are confirmed due to current market conditions for the equipment for this project?
A2: Yes, the period of performance can be extended after award due to material/equipment lead times, but only through bilateral contract modification and only when justified.
Q3: Please provide a site visit attendee sign-in sheet, if available.
A3: Currently, there is not a site visit attendee sign-in sheet available. If there is one, it will be sent out in an Amendment.
Q4: (If building is occupied) Are there any phasing requirements? How many people will be in the building? Are there any temporary heating/cooling requirements?

Daily barge and water taxi service is available from local vendors.

A5: No.
Q6: Is this project tax exempt?
A6: In accordance with FAR 29.303, contractors are not considered agents of the Federal Government for the purpose of claiming tax exemption.
