Solicitation No. 36C24418B0072 is hereby amended as follows:

To provide answers to additional contractor questions.

Revised Drawings EN-100 and EN-101

Elizabeth Morin Contracting Officer

1. Additional Contractor questions and VA Response.

1. In reference to Amendment #4 Basis of Design and Per Amendment 2, L, Question 3, it states the following: “Fire alarm contractor is Wescott Electric. We do not have security or building automation contractors”. Please be advised Wescott has stated they will not send out their Fire Alarm quote as they are bidding as a prime general contractor on this project. This presents a conflict of interest as the VA is instructing general and electrical contractors to use Wescott but they are a bidding GC as well. The existing Edwards system should have an integrator to do the programing, not Wescott or an electrical contractor. It should be the existing certified fire alarm vendor.

VA Response:

– Simplex is the programmer for the fire alarm system

2. In reference to Amendment #4 Basis of Design, with respect to the access control system: You direct us to run communication conductors to a panel located in the ground floor and to the new card swipe locations and tie into a panel. This panel is noted as an existing panel. Please be advised the contractor cannot value for this programing for the new swipes unless we know who’s equipment or vendor we are tying into and so we can know who to get pricing from.

VA Response:

– Card swipes and such equipment must be compatible with LENEL Security systems

3. In reference to Amendment #4 Basis of Design: The electrical plans do not show circuits to low voltage transformers for the card swipes. Is the VA expecting the contractors to include the circuits at the new card swipe locations?

VA Response:

– Yes the contractor is include the circuits for this modality

4. The Drawings issued in Amendment 4 EN-100 & EN-101 states this work is Deduct Alternate #3. However the bid schedule states Nurses Call system is Deduct Alternate #2. Please clarify.

VA Response:

Corrected EN-100 and EN-101 Drawings Attached

5. With reference to Amendment NO. 00002 RFI responses, Item G dated 1/4/18. VA Response #4-7, there are no existing devices shown to be removed for V/D, Nurse Call, security or card access on demo drawings EPD-100, EPD-101 VA Response:

RFI Item G responses 5 thru 7 are a No. There is not any Nurse Call Equipment, Security or Card Access equipment for Demolition.

There is Teledata outlets for removal in the space so #4 is still a yes. As stated in the RFI response we cover these in blanket notes on Sheet EPD-100 Demolition Plan Notes 1 and 2.
