RFI Questions and Answers Q. During the Second Site Visit It was discussed that the three Desks will not be able to be blocked in E747a. The window will not be able to be removed if ICRA barriers are not able to be installed. Please advise how the VA would like this work addressed.

A. Work to remove window between TAVR control room and EP lab should be minimal. Contractor should coordinate with VA for fire rated plastic sheeting for minimal interruption to desks in E747a.

A. Due to the sensitive operational needs for the TAVR room and its Control Room there was no ICRA plan provided so that the ICRA plan can be developed between the chosen GC, VA COR, and End Users.
