X X X X one (1) The purpose of this amendment is to provide Government responses to all received questions from potential offerors.

1. See the following pages for all Government responses.

2. The due date and time for bids remains unchanged.

3. Please acknowledge this and any other amendments to this solicitation by completing Block 19 and Blocks 20a-20c of the SF 1442 on your submitted offer.

2. In several instances, the Statement of Work references replacement of fire-rated doors (45-minute or 90-minute) while also requiring installation of "panic bars." As you’re aware, standard panic hardware is not fire-rated, and the two are not interchangeable.

Per specification Section 08 71 00, it is noted that exit devices for fire doors shall comply with UL requirements for Fire Exit Hardware.

Can you please confirm the following:

1) Where the scope calls for panic hardware on fire-rated doors, should we assume UL-listed Fire Exit Devices are required (not standard panic bars)?

2) Are there any specific product types or manufacturers that must be used or avoided?

3) Can you confirm whether the VA will provide door hardware sets or if all new fire-rated exit hardware must be included in our pricing?

1) Correct, UL listed fire exit devices.

2) No specific product or manufacturer is required. Product must meet the specs.

3) Contractor shall provide all materials

3. Looking to obtain a planholders list / Pre-bid meeting list if possible. If not, could you point me in the right direction?

Are we able to get a copy of the sign-in sheet for Project 565-25-101?

Do you happen to have a plan holders list you can share?

See attached document: Site Visit Attendance 04.09.25.

For new doors and/or frames, all are listed as two-hour

Item added by VA to be included in the SOW:

(Potential deduct item) Replace metal door and hardware located between buildings nos. 1 and 3, as shown on the attached floor plan (below). This door is to be identified as “Door BX.” Refer to the attached photographs (below). Door BX is located approximately 50-70 feet away from Door B10 (electrical room). The approximate dimensions of the existing door are 83” high, 41.75” wide, and 1.75” thick.

Remove existing door and hardware. Install new metal door, rated sight glass, sweep, kick plates, maglock, card reader, door and “wave to open” sensor on the interior and ADO push plate on exterior.
