This amendment is issued to publish the updated Wage Rate Requirement and more RFIs and Answers.

Please see the following pages for more information.

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

PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE FOR THE 1442 AND THE POP FOR THE SCHEDULE DO NOT MATCH (I.E. 421, 331, 241, 151). PLEASE ADVISE IF THE 220 POP ON THE 1442 SUPERCEEDS. IF IT DOES, THEN WHAT ARE THE DEDUCTIVE ALTERNATE POP EXPECTATIONS IN THIS SAME TABLE?

The differences in POP are explained based on whether Deductive Alternates 1,2, or 3 should occur and only a certain amount of work can be completed.

THE RFP CALLS FOR A PROJECT MANAGER AND A FIELD SUPERVISOR TO PROVIDE ON-SITE WEEKLY PROGRESS MEETINGS FOR THE ENTIRE PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE. PLEASE CONFIRM THAT BOTH MANAGERS ARE IN PERSON FROM NTP, TO INCLUDE PRECONSTRUCTION TASKS UNTIL PROJECT IS FINAL ACCEPTED.

Confirmed SCOPE OF WORK (SOW) DOCUMENT STATES THAT AC, ELECTRICAL, PLUMBING, AND CARPENTER SHOPS SHOULD BE AT THE PUNCH WALKS AT 25, 50, 75, AND 95% COMPLETION. PLEASE LET US UNDERSTAND IF THERE ARE DIV 22 ITEMS, NOT IN THE CSI SPEC BOOK, WHICH ARE INCLUDED OR INFERED TO BE INCLUDED THAT WE ARE MISSING IN THE DRAWINGS.

If camera installation interferes with a shops equipment, then they will be informed and the action corrected.

PLEASE CONIFRM IF THE 'PRE-CONSTRUCTION MEETING' IS SCHEDULED AFTER THE NTP / COR DELEGATION MEETING. SOW STATES THAT ALL SUBMITTALS SHOULD BE PROVIDED 14 DAYS PRIOR TO THE PRE-CONSTRUCTION MEETING.

Yes, the Pre-Construction Meeting is after the NTP.

PLEASE CONFIRM THAT THE SUBMITTAL REGISTER IS INTERNAL TO THE FACILITY AND THAT THE FACILITY WILL NOT REQUIRE THE CONTRACTOR TO US SUBMITTAL EXCHANGE OR AN APPROVED EQUAL.

It is not the Station’s intention to use Submittal Exchange

2.6 REQUIRES CLOSE OUT RECORDS FOR THIS PROJECT. PLAN AS-BUILT RECORD DRAWINGS OF THE INSTALLED CONDITIONS SHALL BE CAD DRAWN. PLEASE COFIRM IF EXISTING CAD DRAWINGS WILL BE PROVIDED TO THE AWARDED GENERAL CONTRACTOR OR IF IT IS ANTICIPATED FOR THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR AND SECURITY SUBCONTRACTOR TO BUILD FROM 0%. PLEASE CONFIRM IF ALL PIPE RUNS TO CAMERAS AREA EXPECTED TO BE ILLUSTRATED WITHIN THE CAD DRAWINGS.

No WILL THE COR COORDINATE TO RE-DIRECT COORDOR TRAFFIC FOR TEMPORARY BARRIERS FOR CAMERAS RE-INSTALLED/INSTALLED IN THE HALLWAYS/COORIDORS OR IS THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR EXPECTED TO HAVE ALL TEMPORARY BARRIERS REMOVED AND STORED PRIOR TO OCCUPANTS ARRIVING AT THE HOSPITAL BY 6AM? SECTION 5 DISCUSSES THE ICRA/DUST CONTROL EXPECTATIONS. SOW STATES THAT THERE IS NO STORAGE AREA PROVIDED BUT WITH THE AMOUNT OF TEMPORARY PARTITIONS USED ON THIS PROJECT WOULD THE VA BE AMENABLE TO PROVIDING A STORAGE ROOM/AREA PER FLOOR? IF NOT, COULD GENERAL CONTRACTOR STORE A CONNEX ON-SITE FOR CRAFT WORKERS TO DEMOB INFECTION CONTROL TO THAT AREA EACH NIGHT? SECTION 9. 12 OF 50, STATES THAT NO ONSITE STORAGE IS POSSIBLE AND THAT WE ARE TO UTILZE 'JUST IN TIME'. PLEASE ADVISE AS THIS IS A HIGH COST IMPACT FOR THE PROJECT DEPENDING ON THESE LOGISTICS.

NUMBER 5 STATES THAT CONTRACTOR IS TO PROVIDE UNIFORM HEAT DETECTION IN THE AREA OF WORK, CONNECTED TO THE EXISTING SUPERVISED BUILDING MASTER FIRE ALARM SYSTEM, FOR THE DURATION OF THE WORK WHENEVER CEILING TILES ARE REMOVED OR SPRINKLER SYSTEM IS DISABLED. IS THERE AN ACCEPTABLE QUANTITY OF CEILING TILES REMOVED PER CAMERA LOCATION WHERE THIS STIPULATION IS NOT APPLIED. CEILING TILES WILL BE REMOVED AT ALMOST ALL LOCATIONS. PLEASE ADVISE.

One THE WAGE DETERMINATION PROVIDED IN THIS RFP IS NOT TYPICAL OF GLAC/VA CONTRACTS AS IT ONLY OUTLINES LANDSCAPE LABORERS AND TRUCK DRIVERS. PLEASE PROVIDE REQUIRED WAGE DETERMINATION FOR THE ELECTRICIANS, CARPENTERS, PAINTERS, LABORERS, SECURITY INSTALLERS, PLUMBERS ETC PER THE SCOPE OF THE WORK.

Updated.

SPECS 01 01 10 IC - INFECTION CONTROL, 01 57 19 TEMP ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS AND 01 58 16 TEMP INTERIOR SIGNAGE ARE NOT PROVIDED AND MIGHT BE BENEFICIAL TO COORDINATE WORK ITEMS LISTED IN THE SOW. COULD THESE BE PROVIDED IN THIS RFP TO ENSURE PROPER I.C. / ICRA MEASURES PER AREAS OF THE HOSPITAL. PLEASE ADVISE.

All work will be approved by JBVAMC Infection Control Supervisor before construction begins STATES UNDER THE TECHNOLIGY RENOVATION NOTES #5 THAT THE 'CONTRACTOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF CEILINGS, CEILING TILES, AND CEILING GRIDS ASSOCIATED WITH THEIR AREAS OF WORK'. PLEASE CONFIRM IF NEW GRID AND TILE ARE EXPECTED AT EACH NEW, DEMO'D, OR REPLACED CAMERA LOCATION OR IF CONTRACTOR IS TO REMOVE AND RE-INSTALL CEILING GRID AND TILE.

All tiles that are augmented or rendered ineffective must be corrected by the General Contractor AREA THERE SPECIAL WORK CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE 1-B-17 (1555 POLICE OPS CENTER) AS FAR AS COR ESCORT REQUIRED FOR THIS PROJECT. WE ARE TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE EXPECATIONS TO ENSURE PROPER PRODUCTION IS ALLOCATED TO OUR BID. ALSO, IF THERE ARE ANY COR OR BROWN VA REQUIRED PERSONNEL ESCORT AREAS PLEASE ADVISE.

Yes, all construction must be coordinated through the COR and have prior VA Police approval.

T-300 PROVIDES DETAILS FOR DUCT BANK DETAIL (4) AND ROADWAY UNDERGROUND CROSSING DETAIL (5); HOWEVER ALL EXTERIOR WORK APPEARS TO BE ROUTED THROUGH THE BASEMENT AREA. PLEASE STATE IF THERE AREA AREAS OF WORK WHERE THESE DETAILS/MEANS & METHODS AREA ANTICIPATED. IS THIS TIED TO GARAGE WORK?

Not Anticipated.

THE SPEC FOR CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE IS PROVIDED IN THE SPECS. DETAILS IN THE DRAWINGS SHOW (1) DUCT BANKS AND (2) ROADWAY UNDERGROUND (3) EXTERIOR WALL PENETRATIONS; HOWEVER, THE DRAWINGS DO NOT DEPICT WHERE THIS WORK IS REASONABLY INFERED TO BE EXECUTED. WE SEE BUILDING 5 CONNECTION TO THE MAIN BUILDING, BUT IT ISN'T REFERENCED IN THE SOW IN THE RFP DOCS OR THE SPECS. PLEASE ADVISE AS TO THE SCOPE OF WORK AS BLDG 5 IS A LONG RUN ACROSS THE GARAGE AND THEN INTO THE MAIN BUILDING. T-P-1 KEYNOTE NUMBER 1 AND NUMBER 5 SEEM TO ILLLUDE TO THE WORK, BUT IT IS NOT EASILY DEPICTED OR DEFINED ON THE DRAWINGS.

Building 5 (The Police Station) is involved in the SOW.

DETAIL PTZ CAMERA DETAIL SHOWS MOUNTING THROUGH MASONRY, BUT THERE ARE NO DIV 04 SPECS PROVIDED. BECAUSE WE ARE UNABLE TO VIEW THE CONDITION OF THE EXTERIOR MASONRY DO WE ASSUME THAT CONTRACTOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED TO THE EXTERIOR FAÇADE DUE TO CORING AND CONDUIT ROUTES OR BRACKET INSTALLATION OR WILL THE COR LOOK TO THIS CONDITION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS? PLEASE ADVISE.

Contractor will be responsible for all damage caused to masonry, drywall, woodwork, interior or exterior mounts that cameras are installed.

INTERIOR SURFACE WALL CAMERA MOUNTING DETAIL SEEMS TO INFER THAT THERE WILL BE A REQUIREMENT FOR FINISH WORK BY THE CONTRACTOR AS DETAIL 3 STATES TO REFER TO THE ARCHITECTURAL DRAWINGS. WILL 'A DRAWINGS' BE PROVIDED FOR THIS SOLICITATION AS THEY WILL HELP THE CONTRACTOR UNDERSTAND THE LEVEL OF CUTTING, PATCHING, CAPENTRY, AND CEILING WORK ASSOCIATED WITH THE CONTRACT. PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THESE SCOPES OF WORK ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE SPECS BUT INFERED. THESE ASSOCIATED CONTRACTOR TASKS CARRY SIGNIFICANT WORK TIED TO THE I.C. / ICRA / DUST PREVENTION PLAN AT CAMERA LOCATIONS. PLEASE ADVISE IF THESE WALL PARTITION TYPES AND ASSOCIATED TASKS WILL BE PROVIDED.

FIRESTOPPING IS REQUIRED, BUT PARTITION TYPES ARE NOT PROVIDED WITH ARCHITECTURAL DRAWINGS. PLEASE ADVISE.

All construction operations must have fire stopping capabilities and must be approved safe by the COR at the time of Fire Safety Plan Submittal.

EXCAVATION, EXCAVATION FOR DUCT BANK LOCATIONS OR BURRIED CONDUIT ARE NOT CLEAR IN THE DRAWINGS. FOR ACCURATE PRICING COULD THE COR PROVIDE A BIT OF DETAIL PER THE DRAWINGS OR A NARRATIVE. IF THIS IS FOR WORK BETWEEN BLDG 5 AND 40 THEN THERE IS SIGNIFICANT WORK THAT SHOULD BE DESCRIBED.

Most direct and cost-efficient method of conduit installation should be considered.

FOR WORK PROVIDED BETWEEN 6PM AND 6AM WILL A COR OR A-COR BE ON-SITE WITH THE CONTRACTOR FOR COODINATION?

A COR or back up COR will be either on-site or available via phone.

PLEASE CONFIRM IF THESE DRAWINGS WILL BE THE IFC'S FOR THIS PROJECT. THE TECHNOLOGY COVER SHEET STATE THAT THE 'TECHNOLOGY DRAWNGS DEPICT THE INTENT OF THE FINAL DESIGN’ IS THE PRIME REQUIRED TO DESIGN OR STAMP ANY OF THESE REQUIRED FINAL DOCUMENTS ON THIS PROJECT OR IS THIS A PURE DESIGN-BID-BUILD PROJECT. WE UNDERTSTAND THAT REASONABLY INFERED ROUTING OF CONDUIT FOR THE CAMERAS IS THE RISK OF THE CONTRACTOR. PLEASE ADVISE.

Yes, they are the IFCs.
