The purpose of this amendment is to answer vendor questions. See page 3.

The purpose of this amendment is to answer vendor questions as follows:

Question 1: I see that cable management is part of the solicitation and I see the 2,000 CommScope jacks. I also see that the cabinets "must be installed during construction so the other contractor can accurately land data cables". This infers that the cables are not available to terminate. This is a big difference in labor costs (whether or not we are expected to land 20,000 cables). Is this in scope of this contract or is VHIT handling the terminations. If it is in scope when will we receive the schematics to properly terminate each?

Answer 1: Vendor is not required to connect the data cables. The CommScope Jacks should be installed in the angled patch panels and that is how it will be left for others to connect to. Note so we make sure everyone is doing the math correctly the CommScope Jacks are 200 packs of 100 (20,000 Jacks). Spare jacks will be turned over to me to provide to IT. Cable Management in this scope of work only refers to installation of the rack mounted cable management trays.

Question 2: The SF 1449 identifies this solicitation as an RFP. However, throughout the solicitation, the VA says, “Quotes are due…” Does the VA mean for this solicitation to be an RFP or an RFQ?

Answer 2: This is a Request for Proposal (RFP). All references to quotes for RFQ are being replaced by proposals.

Question 3: The Instructions to Offerors states that offerors must submit a Sustainability Certification. However, nowhere in the solicitation are the format or content of this certification defined. Can the VA provide an example of the certification they are requesting or, as a minimum, define the format and content of the certification?

Answer 3: The Instruction to Offers must submit a Sustainability Certification has been removed.

Question 4: The SF 1449 states that questions are due NLT Thursday, October 17, 12:00 PM CDT and that quotes are due NLT Friday, October 18, 12:00 PM CDT. In addition, the solicitation states that Past Performance Surveys are due from References NLT October 22. Is the VA willing to change the due date for quotes to October 22 to align with the Past Performance Surveys due date and to allow offerors time to receive the answers to all questions, some of which may be submitted October 17, and adjust quotes accordingly?

Answer 4: The due date for the Past performance Survey is due Friday, October 18, 2024 NLT 12:00PM, which aligns with the Proposal due date.
