CONTINUATION PAGE

ANSWERS TO SUBMITTED QUESTIONS:

1. The solicitation clearly specifies meeting VA 1810 requirements. The 1810 specification requests cleaning and repairing of refractories of the boilers, cleaning of condensate tanks and DA tanks. None of this work is specified in the detailed

Scope of Work in the solicitation. Please confirm if this is included or not?

Answer: The contractor will perform only the work as described in the SOW the Boiler

Plant Safety Device Testing Manual. He will not be responsible for cleaning and repairing refractories, cleaning condensate/DA tanks.

2. With Directive 1810, it mentioned a Quality Professional Inspector (QPI). A QPI is not specified in the Detailed Scope. Please advise if needed or not?

Answer: Please use the SOW the Boiler Plant Safety Device Testing Manual. The QPI is needed for boiler inspections which is not part of this contract and is therefore not required.

3. The selected contractor will perform annual and semi-annual calibration of all pressure gauges, boiler and plant controls, controllers, transmitters, recorders, and all other instrumentation contained within the Boiler Plant IAW VA Directive 1810.

Answer: Please refer to the SOW.

4. There is no reference in the Scope to the monthly work that is specified in Directive

1810 referring to monthly requirements. Please confirm if this is included or not?

Answer: It is not included because I am not asking the contractor to do it. VA personal will do monthly tests.

5. With regards to section 10. *Emergency Service

Answer: This section and requirement is now removed from SOW. Please see Revised

SOW and Revised PRICE/COST SCHEDULE.
