SOLICITATION 36C25221B0001

AMENDMENT A0002

October 19, 2020

Project: Upgrade Lighting Controls Construction Project Number: 585-19-119 Location: Oscar G Johnson VA Medical Center, Iron Mountain, MI

Amendment 0002 hereby incorporates the following clarifications/change(s) into the solicitation package.

Solicitation RFI’s/Questions and Answers

1. Question: Will there be a Tax Exemption Certificate issued for this requirement?

Answer: Yes, the Contracting Officer can issue a Tax Exemption Certificate to the Awarded Contractor for this requirement.

2. Question: Is there an exact count of lighting that the VA currently has in stock that will be issued to the awardee for use in the requirement?

Answer: The VA has the following lights to issue the contractor for this contract:

· 87 – 2X4 troffers,

· 8 – 2X2 troffers

· 75 – 8 inch LED recessed cans

3. Question: Who will be responsible for disinfecting the “sterile” rooms after the lights have been changed? The VA or contractor?

Answer: VA is to terminally clean specific rooms as required; however, contractor is responsible for all infection control measures to ensure all dust, dirt, etc…, is fully contained in the working area. As with all spaces in the work area, this includes a thorough cleaning prior to leaving the area.

4. Question: If the existing lights are not supported from the structure, are we required to support them?

Answer: Offerors shall provide necessary support for 50 fixtures (one at opposite corners). At the completion of the project the actual number will be finalized as an Add or Credit.

5. Question: Can the superintendent serve as the SSHO and QCM?

Answer: Refer to safety specifications in the solicitation.

S02 - 36C25221B0001 Att2 SPECS 585-19-119.pdf

6. Question: Please confirm that all work is to occur during normal working hours?

Answer: Refer to general specifications, most/all work is after normal working hours as spaces are occupied with staff and/or patients.

7. Question: Per spec section 01 35 26 para 1.12.B the primary scope of work will require type II or III infectious control measure during work

0. Question: Can you provide the risk assessment per room or work area?

Answer: Refer to ICRA information attached to this Amendment S06 - Att1 Upgrade Lighting ICRA

0. Question: Will all of the occupant furnishings be removed prior to construction? This may be necessary to use the “control cube” as mentioned in type III.

Answer: As much as possible

0. Question: The current documents do not show any above acoustic ceiling conditions or existing HVAC equipment information necessary to install negative air machine barriers as require by type III work. Will these documents be issued prior to bid?

Answer: No, conditions vary, some are tight, and some aren’t. While not expecting a lot of dust, a properly installed, secured infection barrier is critical to ensure all dust remains in plastic containment area. A HEPA cart is recommended for work in areas that can fit one in, or as applicable, as it will eliminate installing a plastic barrier multiple times in various areas.

8. Question: Will the VA issue the pre-bid walk thru attendance roster prior to bidding?

Answer: Refer to Site Visit Sign-in Sheet attached to this Amendment S06 - Att 2 Site Visit Sign-in Sheet 585-19-119
