Questions and Responses Upgrade Medical Gas & Communication System – Design Build

Erie VA Medical Center

1. Several documents use Project No. 562-26-303; synopsis text also references Project No.

565-26-303. VA please confirm the controlling project number for proposal cover, forms, and references. Project Number is 562-26-303.

2. Most documents show 135 East 38th Street. One solicitation section was observed referencing 134 East 38th Street. VA please confirm place of performance address. The address for the Erie VA Medical Center is 135 East 38th Street, Erie, PA 16504.

3. SF1442/SOW state 270 days, while design schedule shows design tasks through 180 days including Government review and other language references 90 days design/90 days construction. VA to confirm the controlling schedule and Phase II schedule flexibility. The Design Schedule is 180 days after Notice to Proceed. The construction period is 90 days after design is complete. Total project is 270 days.

4. Title refers to Medical Gas & Communication System. SOW mainly covers medical gas, alarms, and electrical/control wiring. VA to please define communication-system scope beyond medical gas alarm communication. The only “communication” components on the project are those required to install a fully operational code-compliant Medical Gas system.

5. Technical Approach language appears to reference fire alarm campus-wide scope. Please let us know whether that language is an error and whether Factor 2 should be tailored exclusively to this medical gas project. Technical Approach for Factor should be tailored exclusively to this medical gas project.

6. Need to obtain Wage Determination PA20260088, Med Air System equipment sheets, Med Vac System equipment sheet, and RM Language for Contracts if not already available elsewhere. All these documents were posted to SAM on 06/16/2026. Please obtain them from this site.

7. Confirm whether Phase I requires only the technical proposal package and VAAR 852.219- 75, or whether SF1442/front-end forms are also required at Phase I. Only the technical proposal package is required. VAAR 852.219-75 and other SF 1442 front end forms are not required for Phase I proposal.

8. There are several references in the SOW for the D-B to provide 3D renderings with each scheduled document submission. This project primarily deals with technical issues involving Med Gas and associated Telecom. There is nothing in the SOW involving architectural redesigning existing spaces. Confirm that 3D rendered elevations are required. As long as the Design-Build contractor has coordinated all components of the system with the existing structures and mechanical systems, 3D renderings are not required.

9. Based on initial visual review the bulk O2 tank is to be demolished, and new oxygen manifolds are required at various locations. Please confirm that a new oxygen bulk farm is not required. Correct. The intention is for the existing bulk O2 tank to be removed completely, and the site restored to a grass area. A new bulk O2 tank will NOT be installed. Additionally, the emergency fill station near the dumpsters needs to be removed complete.

10. New manifolds for nitrogen and oxygen on the 2nd floor. A 2nd floor plan was not provided in the RFP to see new manifold locations. Please provide a 2nd-floor plan showing new Manifold locations. There is no requirement for a new Nitrogen manifold. The new Oxygen manifold on the 2nd floor is already installed; however, it will need to be completed. Refer to attached photos for reference.

11. WFS plan is to Create a 3D building model in Revit Architecture 2018 and use this BIM program to produce PDF files and hard copies of the drawings in the required number & size. We will also provide AutoCAD 2018 Files for each submission. VA please confirm that this is acceptable for each submission. The Erie VAMC can provide baseline files in AutoCAD2018 format as well as Revit format (version TBD) to the successful team for use. As noted in question 8, a full 3D rendering/design is not required; however, the D-B Team is still responsible for coordination all structures and mechanicals to ensure the new work fits. Change Requests due to conflicts will not be considered.
