1. Please provide a specification on the AHU to include the performance specifications for the unit. Per the MCP for SPD they require positive air flow, humidity between 20-30%, temperature between 66-76 degrees Fahrenheit, and 4 ACH (air changes per hour)

1. Please provide a steam trap specification. It is our understanding that the VA now only uses forged steel steam traps. Yes

1. Is test and balance required? Yes

1. Is pre demolition test and balance required? Not required

1. With the lead time for AHU’s at 52 weeks in many cases the duration of this project is not possible. The period of performance for installation is 4 months, based on lead times the POP can be adjusted. Correspondence with the Contractor after the AHU is ordered will dictate the final timeline.

1. Please provide a more generic requirement on the AHU. A cut sheet of a unit vendor seems to show favoritism to a certain vendor. Please reference Technical Data Sheet as a reference for salient characteristics in the type of AHU to be included in proposals. Not brand specific.

1. What are the days of the week and work hours this work can be performed? 7am-5pm Monday -Friday and weekends and/or after hours as needed.

1. The stated COVID-19 requirements in the solicitation include contractor’s release of employees’ medical information. Contractors are not permitted by law to disclose medical records of its employees, including vaccines. The requirement also states that mandatory COVID-19 screenings are being enforced at the VAMC entrances, however, it is our experience that those have ceased. Previous COVID-19 requirements permitted the Contractor to certify compliance rather than providing employee medical information. Given the President’s proclamation that the COVID-19 pandemic is over, and the known changes in VA processes, please clarify the VA’s current COVID-19 requirements, if any, and the method by which the Contractor may comply absent revealing employee medical information. This requirement is now over.

1. Can you please provide site access? Access will be provided.
