Noella A Bond Contracting Officer Solicitation 36C10F24R0013 Amendment 1 Responses to Requests for Information:

RFI 3

Question: Is there a required start or completion date?

Answer: The start date is on the Notice to Proceed . Completion date is 720 calendar days after the Notice to Proceed.

REI 4

Question: Please provide the name of the Manufacturer of existing DDC Controls System at the facility.

Answer: Existing is Siemens, but VAMC would like a more friendly system using common off the shelf hardware such as Schneider electric BAS or equal.

RFI 5

Question: Are there proprietary HVAC controls contractor(s) for this campus that must be utilized for this project?

Answer: Open competition is fine, as long as the company has the experience required to successfully complete the project.

RFI 6

Question: Are there proprietary fire alarm contractor(s) for this campus that must be utilized for this project?

Answer: Yes, the current maintenance contractor is HCI, they are very successful in the performance of the current contract, and it would be in the best interest of the government to utilize their construction team since they will also be performing warranty service, maintenance, testing and repairs during the remainder of the contract, which expires in 202.

RFI 7

Question: In the Solicitation, page 166, there is a CLIN price schedule that does not match the CLIN schedule on page 3.

Answer: The CLIN price schedule on page 166 applies only to the Collaborative Analytics which will be held after award.

RFI 8

Question: If total cost of job is under 25 million will PLA still be required?

Answer: Yes a PLA will be required.

RGI 9

Question: The small business percentage appears to be unachievable. This is a unique project - involving several specialty subcontractors necessary to construct the plant. Many of these manufacturers and contractors are not small business. Additionally, there are self-perform requirements that will take away from SB. These items will have a significant impact on our ability to achieve such a high %. Recent VA projects have had small business goals at 10% to account for items such as this. Our market research indicates this number would be more achievable. Please revise small business goals to ensure proper participation will be given on this project.

Answer: VA’s Office of Small Disadvantaged Business Utilization has approved the Small Business Subcontracting Goal percentages for this project. The goal percentages will not change.

RFI 10

Question: To help with small business, please consider reducing self-perform % to 0% Answer: The self-perform remains 15%.

Due date and time for proposals is August 23, 2024 , 4:00 PM PST.
