1. For the evaluation, you are asking for proof of window washing service technicians' qualifications ...vendors must be able to respond within 2 hours of contract from the VA COR for emergency service?

Answer: References from previous window washing jobs may be checked. This will be a twice-yearly maintenance contract and will not require service calls or extra visits.

1. What do you deem as "proof of window washing qualifications"?

Answer: Possible reference checks.

1. When reading over the statement of work, there was no mention that we need to be able to respond within 2 hours of contact from the VA for emergency service. The statement of work stated that we need to be available 2 times per year for window cleaning. So, should we now plan on being sort of "on-call" for VA for emergencies? What type of emergencies do you foresee?

Answer: The Statement of work is correct. This will be a twice-yearly maintenance contract and will not require service calls or extra visits.

1. It is twice a year scheduled maintenance?

Answer: Yes, twice a year.

1. I noticed there were some windows especially at the hospital that are not accessible from the ground level. Will you allow a lift onsite to manage windows that are not accessible?

Answer: We will allow lifts, but they are not supplied by the facility.

1. I am requesting incumbent pricing.

Answer: There is no incumbent pricing at this point.

1. When was the last cleaning done?

Answer: We don’t know. It has been more than 10 years, but we really have no idea.

1. Can we use lifts?

Answer: You can use your own lifts.

1. Can you please update the price schedule with the all the building to be included in the bid.

Answer: Yes

1. Can water fed poles be use?

Answer: Yes

1. Can we use boom lift in the property for building with more than 2 stories?

Answer: You can use your own lifts.

1. Will the screen be removed before the work start (if there is any) if not are we obligated to remove them?

Answer: I can’t think of a situation where this applies but in the off chance this situation is ran in Into, it would be the contractor’s responsibility.
