SF 30 CONTINUATION PAGE 36C25023B0045 AMENDMENT 0002

THE FOLLOWING ANSWERS TO REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION QUESTIONS ARE HEREBY PROVIDED TO CLARIFY, UPDATE, REVISE, OR CORRECT CONTRACT SPECIFICATIONS AND/OR DRAWINGS.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

1. RFI #1 Question: Can we assume that since the room layouts are somewhat similar that you are requiring the ICRA layout as shown on Plan 1/G1002 shown on Drawing G1002?

Answer 1: The rooms layouts are similar and the ICRA requirements will be the same for all, unless some unforeseen issue arises. Also, the ICRA requirements have changed and are an attached document to this Amendment.

2. RFI #2 Question: We understand that Midmark is the basis of design for the metal casework. Can there be a substitution that would meet the required design requirements? We have been attempting to contact Midmark and have not gotten any positive feedback that they are interested in bidding this project. Their government division has emailed us telling us that they are not interest in pursuing this project. We did hear back from another division of Midmark which did show some interest but then turned us over to their Government Supply Division with no further response.

Answer 2: Midmark is the basis of design for the metal casework, but not a sole source for the casework, therefore there can be a substitution that meets all design requirements. The VA has been in close contact with representatives from Midmark throughout the design process. After receiving this RFI the VA directly contacted the Midmark representative, and they expressed their positive interest in pursuing this project. The Midmark representative expressly asked to have their contact information included in this RFI answer and any interested party may contact them:

Mike Luke Enterprise Specialist, Planning & Design Great Lakes Region mluke@midmark.com 484-888-1881 midmark.com

***Note: The inclusion of the Midmark representative’s contact information does not obligate the winning bidder to source Midmark, as they are the basis of design and not a sole source.
