NOTICE OF INVITATION FOR BIDS AMENDMENT

SOLICITATION NUMBER: 36C24123B0001

AMENDMENT NUMBER: 0001

DATE: 12/07/2022

PROJECT NUMBER: 689A4-22-203

PROJECT TITLE: Newington Metal Coping and Roof Repair and Replacement LOCATION: VA Medical Center, Newington, CT REASON FOR AMENDMENT: Answer Requests for Information questions and extend the Invitation for Bids due date

Total Set-Aside for SDVOSB MAGNITUDE OF CONSTRUCTION: Between $250,000 to $500,000

AMENDMENT: 0001

The Solicitation due date is extended to December 20th, 2022 at 2:00 PM EST.

The following answers are provided in response to submitted RFI’s.

1. Question: Are we able to confirm the access area for each section of the roof with the hospital before each phase?

Answer: The Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) will coordinate with the awarded contractor prior the commencement of work

2. Question: Are there designated office and toilet facilities available for this project, or is the contractor responsible for providing these for the duration of the project?

Answer: Contractor to provide its own toilet facilities. An area will be made available for an office trailer, but the specific location has not yet been determined.

3. Question: The drawings refer to detail A2.1 in multiple notes, but we do not have any drawings listed as A2.1? Can you please provide drawings A2.1?

Answer: Please see attachment titled “Coping Roof RR Newington_CAD Details-A2_1”

4. Question: Is there an identified laydown area for the GC’s dumpster?

Answer: An area will be made available for a dumpster, but the specific location has not yet been determined.

5. Question: Is there an identified area for the GC’s QC/Supper/SSHO to work from?

Answer: An area will be made available for an office trailer, but the specific location has not yet been determined.

6. Question: Is there an identified area where the GC can store material?

Answer: An area will be made available for storage, but the specific location has not yet been determined.

7. Question: The plans refer to a detail "1/A2.1" for all work designated as "D1.2 - Existing Fascia and Related Flashing". Is this detail available to bidders?

Answer: Please see attachment titled “Coping Roof RR Newington_CAD Details-A2_1”

8. Question: Regarding Section L of IFB: due to the change to SBA and the current restrictions preventing certification until January 1, 2023, request the deletion of "at the time of submission of bids" "both" and "and verified in VIP at the time of bid submission". This change will not impact the work in any way and will not impact final eligibility - but will allow more bidders and result in a more competitive bid for the VA.

Answer: It is intended to make a contract award from this solicitation by the end of the First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2023. Delaying the bid due date would make the award and project behind schedule. Also, this schedule causes no impediment for Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) to be certified using the Veterans Affairs Vendor Information Pages as this has been and will be our current process for certification until the Small Business Administration (SBA) certifies companies beginning January 1st, 2023. Please note that existing VA-certified VOSBs and SDVOSBs will remain certified, and the SBA will extend any VA certifications which will expire within the first year after the transfer to SBA certification.

9. Question: In the alternative, for the same reason, request postponement of bid date to January 2, 2023.

Answer: Solicitation will close on December 20th as specified in this Amendment to the Solicitation. Bids are due by 2:00 PM EST and will be opened at that time.
