Tanya Baldwin Contracting Officer

This amendment is to change/correct the date for the additional site visit and to provide response to RFI questions received.

The additional site visit changed from Tuesday November 3, 2022, at 1:00 PM Eastern Time, to Friday November 4, 2022, at 1:00 PM Eastern Time

RFI Questions – Batavia, NY VAMC – Improve Potable Water Distribution System Solicitation Number: 36C2422B0077 DUE: October 25, 2022 @ 3:30pm EDT RFI Contact, Ms. Tanya Baldwin at Tanya.Baldwin@va.gov ================================================================== In review of the documents and in speaking with several sub-contractors, please find below questions for clarification. If any items shown below requires additional information, please contact us directly.

1. Will the Contractor be permitted to have a laydown area in the same general vicinity as the work to be completed? YES – THERE WILL BE ASSIGNED LOCATIONS FOR

LAYDOWN AREA. CONTRACTOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL RESTORATION OF ANY

DAMAGES THE LAYDOWN MIGHT CAUSED. THE VA WILL ALLOW A LOCATION FOR AN

EXTERIOR CONEX BOX BUT NO TRAILERS OR PORTABLE OFFICES ON SITE. THE CONEX BOX

WILL BE FOR STORED MATERIALS ONLY. a. Is temporary power available for Contractor’s trailer and general equipment usage? NO TEMPORARY POWER IS AVAILABLE AND NO

TRAILERS. ONLY A CONEX BOX FOR STORING MATERIALS. THE VA IS NOT RESPONSIBLE

FOR ANY MATERIALS OR TOOLS THAT ARE LOST OR STOLEN, THE CONTRACTOR SHALL BE

RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN SECURITY.

2. Specification 01 35 26, Article 1.9.C states that the Prime Contractor must provide an individual to fulfill the role of SSHO who is separate from the Site Superintendent;

however, considering the limited trades involved on this project, would the Government consider allowing the prime’s Site Superintendent to complete both of these roles, so long as they are able to fulfill all specified requirements of each position? DUE TO THE

PRESENCE OF HIGH HAZARD WORK IN THE PROJECT (ASBESTOS, CONFINED SPACE) WE

WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CONSIDER ONE INDIVIDUAL PERFORMING DUAL ROLES

SUFFICIENT IN FOR THIS PROJECT.

3. What areas within this project’s scope of work area, in addition to those listed in 1.1.2 of the solicitation documents, will require work outside of normal business hours? PLEASE

REFER TO ICRA DRAWINGS FOR WORK OUTSIDE NORMAL BUSINESS HOURS AND THE

SPECIFICATION SECTION 010000 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS.

4. Will there be any phasing requirements in addition to those related to the requirement to complete all abatement work prior to starting non-abatement work? a.

The project documents reference phasing by building as directed by the COR but provides no specifics. Will work be permitted in multiple buildings at once so long as adequate supervision is provided? YES

b. Will all work has to be approved in one building before the contractor can proceed to the next building? NO, CONTRACTOR/SUB CAN WORK ON

MULTIPLE BUILDINGS SIMULTANEOUSLY AS LONG AS THEY’RE APPROPRATELY SUPERVISED.

THE ASBESTOS WORK IS WRITTEN INTO THE CONTRACT THAT ALL WORK SHALL BE

COMPLETED IN THE TIME ALLOCATED FOR ASBESTOS WORK. WHEN THE ASBESTOS WORK

HAS COMMENCED THIS SHALL BE THE PRIORITY OF THE CONTRACTOR. THEY CAN WORK

AT BOTH PLACES SIMULTANEOUSLY HOWEVER THE ASBESTOS IN UNDER A STRICT

TIMEFRAME DUE TO THE NEED FOR THE VA TO PROVIDE A PROFESSIONAL AIR MONITOR.

c. Can non asbestos work begin in a building which has passed all abatement requirements, so long as the work does not impede the progress of remaining abatement work? THERE IS A REQUIREMENT ON THIS CONTRACTOR FOR THE PLUMBER TO

EXECUTE THEIR WORK IN A CONTAINMENT AREA UNDER POSSIBLY ASBESTOS CONDITIONS

AS THIS PROJECT IS NOT A FULL-BLOWN ABATEMENT PROJECT, WE ARE ONLY REMOVING

ENOUGH ASBESTOS TO REMOVE THE DEAD LEG. THE PLUMBER WILL NEED ASBESTOS

CERTIFICATION AND PROPER PPE.

5. The project drawings show limited areas in which ICRA Class III will be applicable and no areas which are to be ICRA Class IV; please confirm there are no Class IV ICRA areas included within this project? ALL ICRA CLASSIFICATIONS ARE LISTED ON THE ICRA

DRAWINGS.

6. Will temporary barriers (i.e. STARC, Edge Guard, etc.) be permitted for use in all areas where hard wall barriers are required in accordance with the ICRA classification? IF THE

CONTAINMENT BOOTH CANNOT BE USED THE CONTRACTOR SHALL BUILD THE PROPER

CONTAINMENT BARRIER AS PE THE CONTRACT.
