The amendment provides answers to nine questions from potential offerors, clarifying that: the scope is for fire doors only (not fire extinguishers); the quantities are 570 doors at University Drive and 170 doors at HJ Heinz, with some areas under construction; horizontal/vertical roll-up doors will be inspected by FMS under a different requirement; CLINs X003 and X004 are for establishing fixed labor rates for future repairs; material costs for repairs will be included in task order estimates; and contractors must provide their own maintenance reporting methods. Offerors are reminded they must submit signed copies of both amendments 001 and 002, as well as the VA Notice of Limitations on Subcontracting certificate, or risk rejection of their proposals.

The subject solicitation is hereby amended to answer the questions listed below. In addition to the questions and answers below, the solicitation is hereby extended from its current closing date/time of 1/24/2025 at 14:00 to 1/29/2025 at 14:00. Offerors are instructed that if they previously submitted a response, that they will need to resubmit the entirety of their proposal to include signed copies of both amendments 001 and 002. Offerors are additionally reminded that failure to submit a signed copy of VAAR 852.219-75 VA NOTICE OF LIMITATIONS ON

SUBCONTRACTING—CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE FOR SERVICES AND

CONSTRUCTION shall result in their offer being rejected.

The questions (black text) and answers (red text) are as follows:

1) The project title references fire extinguishers, however the scope of work does not.

Please confirm fire extinguishers are not included in the scope of work?

The title was erroneous, this is for fire doors.

2) CLIN X001 shows a quantity of 570 doors for University Drive, however the inventory provided in the Statement of Work only shows 515 doors. Can you please confirm the total quantity of doors to be inspected?

The total number of doors listed are correct. There are areas under construction currently or soon.

There were no lists or counts for the rest of the buildings in that campus that were specified in the previous solicitation for the fire/smoke damper inspection. As above typically fire/smoke doors and fire/smoke dampers go hand in hand in buildings.

The fire door inspection will be only for the surveyable buildings listed.

3) CLIN X002 shows a quantity of 170 doors for HJ Heinz, however the inventory provided in the Statement of Work only shows 163 doors. Can you please confirm the total quantity of doors to be inspected?

The total number of doors listed are correct. There are areas under construction currently or soon.

4) Can you please clarify the intent of CLIN’s X003 and X004? The Statement of Work Section 9.2 states repairs are to be covered by separate CLIN’s designated for maintenance. Are the maintenance hours to be applied against the approved quotes to make repairs?

The awardee would conduct the inspections required and if there were deficiencies, they would provide an estimate to the site. The site would work with contracting to issue a task order for repairs. All estimates should have a labor rate that matches the labor rate price provided in CLINs X003 and X004. The estimate provided shall additionally include the cost for any materials needed. Essentially you are providing a labor rate that is set for the life of the resulting contract when responding to CLINs X003 and X004.

5) How are materials for repairs covered? The maintenance hours are covered with CLIN’s X003 and X004, will there be a separate CLIN for materials for repairs?

See the answer to question 4.

6) Can you please verify the quantity, if any, of vertical roll up or horizontal doors?

Any horizontal or vertical roll up door will be inspected by FMS under a different requirement.

7) Page 7 of the SOW is a checkoff sheet that includes a detailed list of the inspection information. SOW in section 4.0 expands the verbiage.

That is additional information provided for the inspection requirements.

8) There is no similar checkoff sheet for “annual maintenance.”

The contractor will provide their own means of reporting any repairs or maintenance completed.

9) If annual maintenance is to be covered under this contract, to complete the Price Schedule worksheet that is on Attachment C, we would like clarification, or a SOW is needed to base our hours/rate. This worksheet does not give us the ability to cover the costs of any maintenance product/materials.

See the answer to question 4.
