4. We would prefer for the VA to provide list of individual office sizes for each office to provide an accurate bid for flooring and materials. On the site visit we looked at 5 offices out of the 95 offices. I will attach the room listing with sizing.

5. IT Equipment- We understand that VA will move IT Equipment out of each office. The contractor will be responsible for removing the office contents but not move IT equipment and personal belongings. Office content is assumed to be modular cube parts and office paperwork and books. VA employees will move/secure and IT equipment.

6. Modular Cube Parts- due to fast turnaround on flooring, we plan to store the office cubes and contents in the hallway in carts outside the office. We will leave enough space in the hallway to meet fire code escape routes. Please confirm this is OK. With the inclusion of the abatement and the extra time required contractor will be allowed space to place a Conex/ Storage container on site to house items remove from rooms.

7. Also since you didn’t have floor plans at site visit please advise if you can supply at this point. We will provide a PDF of the Hospital floor plan and listing of rooms to have flooring replaced.

8. Also can you clarify the amount of work expected each night for the duration of this contract. The amount of work will be dependent upon the amount of office personal that can be relocated to a newly acquired swing space that can accommodate 8-10 employees. The work will be phased based upon location and employees able to be displaced temporarily.

9. When you send out the advertisement, hopefully you will include information about the new carpet and whether you want the carpet supplied in rolls or squares. The carpet you have specified below does come in both cuts and the prices are different. Answered in new S.O.W. Overview and Description of Work sections.

10. The SOW references construction drawings, however I could not find any in the bid package on FBO; can these be provided? We will provide a PDF of the Hospital floor plan and listing of rooms to have flooring replaced.
