The purpose of this Amendment is to provide responses to the following requests for information:

Answer 1: A canopy is not required.

Question 4: We are requesting a 2-week extension to the RLP due date.

Answer 4: It’s too early to consider an extension.

Question 5: Can you confirm the VA does NOT want a backup generator?

Answer 5: A backup generator is not required.

Question 6: Can you confirm that a site in close proximity to a Bingo Hall would be considered incompatible or conflicting uses due to the gambling nature of bingo halls?

Answer 7: The award is anticipated to occur in Fiscal Year 2026.
