Edward Kostolansky Contracting Officer Stratton VA building 5 Demo RFI's RFI 21. C-001 General note 2. States (There shall be no claims against the VA for work stoppages due to the acts of God, Weather conditions, stop work orders (verbal and / or written), underestimation of work, estimated quantities, materials, supplies, tools, correction of safety problems, or any other reason).

• How is contractor to recoup down time due to work stoppages that are directed by the VAMC Rep’s if it’s not an immediate safety / health concern or if contractor is awaiting answers or direction from VA / COR? Or if an “unknown” utility is encountered during excavation? The COR cannot require that you stop work except for lack of a site superintendent or for safety reasons. Timeframes for RFI responses and submittals are noted in the project specifications. Regarding the “unknown” utility, the VA has done its best to identify underground utilities. An underground locator firm has been to the site twice. If an unforeseen condition crops up, it will be handled in accordance with FAR Section 52.236-2, Differing Site Conditions.

RFI 22. CD-102 Item 5, states remove 208V feed line back to panel.

• Will the conduit need to be removed as well? It is the intent to remove conduit as well as cabling for all such utilities.

• Is the electrical line direct bury, conduit, of duct bank? This area will be redeveloped in the future, and it would make construction easier if these items don’t show up on the utility locator’s map. It is unknown if it is direct bury, conduit or duct bank. No as-built documentation exists.

• What is the depth of the Electrical line? The depth of the electric line is unknown.

RFI 23. CD-102 Item 6 remove conduit back to LP-81.

• What is the depth of conduit? The VA does not know the conditions of burial or depth. See response to question 2.

• Are the conduits direct bury or duct bank? The VA does not know the conditions of burial or depth. See response to question 2.

RFI 24. CD-102 Item 12 remove former Meter House conduit and cabling.

• What is the depth of conduit and cabling? The VA does not know the conditions of burial or depth. See response to question 2.

• Are the former Meter house conduits direct bury or duct bank? The VA does not know the conditions of burial or depth. See response to question 2.

RFI 25. CD-102 Item 13 remove presumed conduit and cabling to cut line.

• What is the depth of conduit / cabling lines? The VA does not know the conditions of burial or depth. See response to question 2.

• Are presumed conduit and cabling direct bury or in duct bank? The VA does not know the conditions of burial or depth. See response to question 2.

RFI 26. CD-102 Item 17 Data / Comm line removal.

• What is the depth of Data / Comm lines? The VA does not know the conditions of burial or depth. See response to question 2.

• Are the Data / Comm lines direct bury or duct bank? The VA does not know the conditions of burial or depth. See response to question 2.

RFI 27. CS-201 Roadway and Parking area construction note 11 Density testing of constructed areas shall be at the discretion of the COR.

• Will a change order be issued if the COR requests density testing? Since the requirement for density testing at the discretion of the COR is shown on the contract drawings, it is contract work. The VA cannot issue a contract modification (change order) to a contractor for them to perform contract work.
