CONTINUATION PAGE

QUESTION: PWS Section 1.4 - Can the requirement for the contractor being located within 25 miles be revised to allow for a contractor to have a strategic teaming partner office being located within 40 miles of the VAMC? It would seem that restricting this procurement to a company located within 25 miles would be close to a sole source or virtually no competition. If the concern is about emergency/routine service response, then just because you have an office in 25 miles would not necessarily mean the available technician is located within 25 miles for response.

RESPONSE: Having an office within 25 miles minimizes the response time and increases the likelihood of having a tech nearby. If you would like to submit a quote with alternative arrangements, we can consider it.

QUESTION: Can you provide a site visit attendee list?

RESPONSE: The site visit attendee list will not be provided.

QUESTION: Can you confirm that personnel performing work on this contract will be issued access badges? Keys?

RESPONSE: Access badges and keys will be provided, as well as government escorts when needed.

QUESTION: PWS Section 5.2 - When are the gauges due for 5-year replacement? How Many gauges?

RESPONSE: Since the contract is for 5 years, all gauges will need to be replaced under the contract. Dates are spread throughout the years.

QUESTION: PWS Section 5.2 - When is the Alarm Valve , Dry Pipe, Preaction/Deluge and Check Valve 5yr internal inspection due? Can you provide a quantity for both?

RESPONSE: Since the contract is for 5 years, all 5-year internals will need to be done. Dates are spread throughout the years.

QUESTION: PWS Section 5.2 - When is the 5yr sprinkler internal inspection due?

RESPONSE: Since the contract is for 5 years, all 5-year internals will need to be done. Dates are spread throughout the years.

QUESTION: PWS Section 5.3 - When are the kitchen hood suppression system tanks due for hydro? Are those to be priced after finding them due for hydro?

RESPONSE: Hood system tank hydro’s are paid outside the contract (by credit card) as needed.

QUESTION: PWS Section 5.5 - What areas require fire alarm testing after hours? Can elevator recall /shunt trip be tested during normal hours? Can audio/visuals be tested during normal hours?

RESPONSE: Elevator testing and kitchen hood system testing are done after hours. A/V testing is done during regular hours.

QUESTION: Is the testing to be performed IAW with the latest NFPA /VHA Standard and Memorandums?

RESPONSE: Yes, testing is done IAW most recent NFPA and VA requirements.
