1. Without a site visit, or a Request for Information period or drawings (pictures). How does the VA expect to get reasonable quotes for a moderately complex requirement, without contractors having a chance to review the physical site or get a chance to ask questions? Only a contractor or contractors who have knowledge of the site be able to have enough understanding of the requirement to submit a reasonable quote.

Due to urgency of this requirement and the time sensitivity; the photos attached photos have been provided in lieu of a site visit. Please respond to the solicitation as instructed.

1. There is an entire Division (26 – Electrical) in the VA’s Technical Information Library devoted to a requirement of this type. Its seems that at a minimum there would be some specifications/drawings issued with the solicitation (or it could be issued as a DB) in order to get a better understanding of this “Electrical Busway Replacement”.

Per the service line the photos attached photos have been provided

1. Is there any consideration to stepping back and issuing an amendment scheduling a quick site visit? You could still make an award relatively quickly (not in 7 days but maybe in 14), and I feel the quality of the quotes would be significantly improved.

The service line has stated that no amendment would be issued for a quick site visit; due to urgency of this requirement and the time sensitivity. Please submit your quotes based on the information supplied.
