About this file
This document is a Request for Information (RFI) for the Dishwasher Exhaust Fan Project #528-25-114 at the Buffalo VA Medical Center (VAMC) in New York. The RFI addresses a specific query about photography requirements for the project, with the VA confirming that contractors can submit their own daily construction photography through daily logs instead of hiring a professional photographer.
The related federal contract opportunity is a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside solicitation under NAICS Code 238220 for Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors. The project involves replacing the main kitchen dishwasher exhaust fan, with a project magnitude between $100,000 and $250,000. The solicitation is scheduled to be posted on August 1, 2025, with anticipated contract award in August 2025. Bid bonding will be required, and all solicitation materials will be available on SAM.gov. The project is being managed by the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 2.

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
DISHWASHER EXHAUST FAN
PROJECT# 528-25-114
BUFFALO VAMC, NY
Q. We realize the bids are due this Thursday August 28 and the time for RFI’s is more than two weeks past, but we are taking a chance that we might get a response before Thursday.
The Statement of Work para. 1.5.3 Photography calls for a professional photographer to document the entire construction process.
We have solicited for photography bids for the 13-week project duration and have received only one proposal, for -----------, which is about 25% of the total bid and seems outrageous.
Is there any chance that this requirement has been or might be waived? Or included by error?
R. The VA will accept the contractor’s self-perform construction photography through the daily log submission process in lieu of a professional photographer as a bid deduct. Photographs will be required to be submitted daily while being of sufficient quality and quantity to properly document existing conditions, construction progress, and close-out conditions. Refer to the SOW and specifications for additional information.
