Mary Jane Crim Contracting Officer The purpose of this solicitation amendment is to provide answers to vendor questions, make a change to the SOW, and to extend the close date and time. Vendor questions with answers in red and the change to the SOW are listed below. The close date and time of the solicitation is hereby changed from 9/9/2021 @4PM to 9/14/2021 @4PM.

There are 31 total windows with 8 “regular” sized windows and 21 “larger” window.

During the site visit we looked at a previous project that was completed at the VA. Can you please share the manufacture and model of the screen screens previously installed? Unfortunately we do not have the information as to what manufacture made them. I have also included a pic of an existing window screen that is installed in one of our other buildings as an example to what is being requested. Please take note of the locking mechanism allowing for maintenance of the windows. Although difficult to see, the screen frames do have weep hole/slots located at the bottom to allow water to flow out from behind the frame.

The VA’s TIL included SECTION 08 56 66 for DETENTION WINDOW SCREENS. Does this spec apply to this project? Detention window screen are especially designed for institutions of detention; fabricated of screen mesh which is woven of large stainless steel wires; a massive steel frame holds the mesh under tension. Although there is parts of the attached document that are alike this is not a institution of detention but of shipping and receiving. I do not believe this applies to this project.

(Mod for Performance Work Statement. From-“ 2. Mesh 12x12 per 25 mm (1 in.) with main and sub frames of 2.7 mm (12 gauge) carbon steel with baked enamel finish and internal key locking slide bolts” To- “2. Mesh 12x12 per 25 mm (1 in.) with main and sub frames of 2.7 mm (12 gauge) stainless steel and internal key locking slide bolts.”

We need the manufacturer of the existing glass. We want to be sure we don’t void the warranty if it exists. Due to the age of the existing windows, there is no active warranty for the windows.

Please confirm that Payment and Performance bonds are not required for this project. This is considered a service contract and not a construction contract, so payment and performance bonds are not required.

Please confirm that the window tenting will be applied on the interior side of the window. The window tinting will be installed on the interior of the windows.

Please confirm that access to the interior side of the widow will be free from blockage to allow for efficient installation of the window tint. Working with the logistics staff in the warehouse the access to the windows for tint install will be cleared away. Please keep in mind that space is somewhat limited so we need be somewhat flexible.

Can you please provide a specification or additional information regrading the type of window tint material to be installed? VHA Directive 1761 Appendix F-2.2i states “ If a storeroom has a window, the window must be covered with an ultraviolet barrier.” For the purpose of this request, a privacy window film, non-adhesive frosted glass film that is opaque is being spec’d . High quality frosted film with no design pattern that provides privacy up to 98% opacity from 1.5 feet away and blocks 95% of UV rays to prevent heat insulation, fading furniture and allow natural light to enter area.

Please confirm that the windows do not open from the inside. These are a store front window and are fixed.

Will the VA be proving a sales tax exemption letter for this project? The VA can provide a tax exemption form, if needed.
