PROJECT 537-18-136A AHU 5 FOLLOW-ON

This amendment is issued to publish RFIs and Answers. Please see the following page.

The closing date and time has been extended to February 21, 2019 at 1:00 pm CST.

All other terms and conditions remain in full force and effect.

Under Period of Performance the top caption states "Option 2" period of performance. What is Option 1?

There is no option 1. Remove the word “Option 2 “in the Table Please advise whether TAB work is to occur at the end of ALL construction, or if TAB is to occur at the end of each phase of construction. Please also confirm that all TAB work is to occur during the day, not at night, with the COR present.

The TAB work is to occur at the end of each phase of construction. All TAB work is to occur during the day or night time, with the VA COR present.

The Period of Performance Chart Indicates (7) separate mobilizations for completion of work. When comparing this PoP chart with item 15 of Part 3 of the AMD 12 SOW, the narrative states that after the "9-day construction work", the balancing work shall be done "during the day" with the COR present. However, per the PoP as a guide, each of the (7) week tasks are to be turned over complete. This contradicts the statement "Test and Balance activities are to be conducted AFTER the completion of the (9) calendar days work." This would mean that ORs are to be turned over without Test and Balance work being completed and BAS functional testing.

Please see the above response.

The boxes and equipment are located outside of the ORs – since these are in shared space do we need to be completed cleaned up after each night shift or will those areas be partitioned off from the rest of the OR space during the down time?

The terminal unit and equipment are located in the corridor next to the OR but other work requires the contractor to be inside the perspective OR. The areas outside the OR require a partition. Area inside the OR can proceed using precautions as noted in the SOW as that perspective “OR” will be taken out of service.

"Option 2 Period of Performance Chart" Section 4.3 states "Friday-Sunday OR Bypass, Sunday afternoon Terminal Cleaning all OR's, Sunday night Reactivation for Monday am re-use". Then the OR's are listed by weeks. Contractor interprets that OR 1 & 2 will be gained on a Friday (After Operations Conclude) with work able to proceed on nights in OR's 1 & 2 Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday through to Sunday at noon. Contractor also interprets that OR3 & OR5 will overlap with occupancy of OR 1 & 2. Please confirm that work can occur in specific OR spaces during the weekday at night as outlined in the schedule, as well as work on the weekend.

Work for each of the mobilization will be from Friday evening after the last surgery case to Sunday noon when the work area is turned for terminal cleaning. OR is reactivated Monday for reuse.

Please confirm that the 20x12 Exhaust Ductwork called out for replacement is part of this solicitation and replacement has not been corrected under an emergency contract.

The 20X12 ductwork is part of this solicitation.
