-----------------------------------------------See Continuation Page----------------------------------------------------

Heather Libiszewski-Gallien Contracting Officer Special Notes regarding FAR 52.229-3: Federal, State and Local Taxes:

Offerors are hereby notified that under the General Laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts G.L. c. 64H, § 6(f), sales of building materials and supplies to be used in the construction, reconstruction, alteration, remodeling or repair of any building structure, public highway, bridge or other public works owned by or held in trust for the Federal government and its agencies and used exclusively for public purposes are exempt from sales tax.

Therefore, the contractor’s purchase of such building and construction materials within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to be used in the construction, reconstruction, alteration, remodeling or repair of any building structure belonging to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is subject to the exemption from tax on retail sales of certain tangible personal property. To take advantage of the tax exemption, the VA will furnish to the contractor at award Massachusetts Form ST-5C Contractor’s Sales Tax Exempt Purchase Certificate identifying the contract number for the project involved, and the contractor may present this form when purchasing materials for incorporation into such project.

Notwithstanding FAR 52.229-3, all bids received in response to this solicitation are presumed to reflect this tax exemption and therefore should not include Massachusetts Sales Tax or Use Tax on sales of materials for use in construction under this contract.

All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.
