Solicitation No. 36C10F22B0001 Amendment A00001.

8. Additional Bid Submission Requirement to be submitted by the lowest apparent bidder upon government request prior to the pre-award survey :

“Pre-Award preliminary project schedule and phasing plan shall be submitted demonstrating the contractor’s proposed approach to completing the project within the 450 days maximum Period of Performance. The expected construction period of performance duration for each building includes all pre-construction activity and post-construction testing, third-party inspections, and commissioning.

The contractor shall provide a schedule for VA approval prior to commencing work that identifies the schedule for each phase including allowances to adhere to project ICRA requirements shown on the drawings, Contractor shall mitigate facility disruptions and shall coordinate all shutdowns with the VA at a minimum 30 calendar days prior to beginning work in that area. Night and weekend and off-hours premium time is mandated for noise abatement, utility shutdowns, and work occurring in sensitive patient care areas. Facility hours of operation are 7:30 AM to

4:30 PM Monday through Friday.

Bids shall include an allowance for this off-hours work requirement. Each quadrant or level (dependent on the approved phasing plan) shall be commissioned and accepted by the VA prior to beginning work on the next phase. The existing control system shall be augmented to serve the new equipment and to include updated/new controls of existing equipment. Existing controls shall always remain operational while integrating the new devices.”

9. Due to the number of interested bidders and sub-contractors present on the date of the pre-proposal conference/site visit walk. The Government determined it was in the best interest of all parties to switch the pre-proposal conference room to meet CDC guidelines based on room and size capacity. No other interest bidders were present at the original location BUILDING 11 ROOM B107 on 6/30/2022 after 1310 PDT after switching to the new location BUILDING 27 #ROOM 102. Therefore no other site visit shall be granted.

10. The Magnitude of the construction is hereby changed from $5,000,000 and $10,000,000 to $10,000,000 and

$20,000,000. Interested bidders are under no obligation to change their initial bid submission to meet the new magnitude of construction nor are they required to approach the upper limit of the magnitude of construction.

836.204 Disclosure of the magnitude of construction projects.
