The amendment provides answers to bidder questions, including confirmation that the project involves integrating an access control system with the VA's existing West Fire Systems platform. Door status monitoring and requests to exit will be required where applicable. Aluminum windows may be substituted to reduce costs if performance requirements are met.

Question: The specs don't specify what Height flagpole is required for this project.

Answer: Flags and Flagpoles were removed in previous revisions of the design package. Specification 10 75 00 can be disregarded.

Question: Our window subcontractor has indicated to us that the specifications call for cold rolled steel windows. Due to COVID the price for steel products has increased substantially. They indicate that there would be a 25 to 30% reduction in cost if the VA were to specify aluminum windows. Please advise.

Answer: I spoke with our architect and he takes no issue with aluminum windows, provided that they can meet the performance requirements and overall aesthetic of the design intent.
