CC: 36C252 FILE

PAUL M. SEIVERT

CONTRACTING OFFICER

Q1: What was the last contract number and award amount? How many option years were awarded with this contract?

A1: Contract number VA69D-P-1821 was awarded on 5/2/2011 in the total amount of $328,860.00. This contract included a base year and four, 12-month option periods.

Q2: Is any type of fall protection needed when working on the roof to service the condensing units?

A2: There has never been any type of fall protection required in the past specifically from the Hines VAH; but if the contractor feels the need to utilize such equipment or measures, we would not have any objections. All work shall conform with the Statement of Work (SOW) and specifically, Section 12 entitled “Compliance with the General Safety Regulations.”

Q3: Are there any permits required for confined space?

A3: A permit is not required for working in a confined space in the sub-basement.

Q4: Are burn permits required?

A4: Burn permits are only required when soldering inside a common area (non-mechanical room). When soldering is performed inside the I.T. closets, a burn permit would be required; but not on the roof or in the sub-basement.

Q5: Are there accommodations for after-hours work?

A5: Currently, there are no accommodations for after-hours work. Per Sections 4 and 5 of the SOW, all work will be conducted during normal business hours [7:30 AM – 4:00 PM (Central Time)].

Q6: Are there any plans to upgrade all the R-22 systems to R-410a?

A6: Currently, there are no plans to replace any working systems.

Q7: Are there any past maintenance records?

A7: Past maintenance records, if available, may be provided to the awardee during the Post-Award Conference (kick-off meeting). Per Section 6 of the SOW, “All services, inspections, maintenance, and emergency repair service tasks shall be IAW the procedures recommended by the equipment manufacturer, industry standards, and conformance standards.”
