The purpose of this amendment is to post the questions from vendors along with the VA's answer.

Please see below for all questions and answers.

All other terms and conditions remain the same.

Aaron Rogers Amendment to answer vendor questions

1. Has any part of the Statement of Work (SOW) changed in this solicitation compared to the last awarded contract? If so, what changed or was added?

The statement of work has been updated, please see the current SOW that is posted with the RFQ on SAM.gov.

2. Has the government issued any CURE or Notice of Correction for pest control services over the past 24 months at this location? No

3. How many bird service requests to include turkeys have occurred at William S Middleton VAMC in the past 24 months?

Within the last 20-months we have had nuisance complaints of Geese, Cranes and 2 Turkeys.

4. Can the government provide clarification on the number and size of lakes, rivers, and ponds that are within the William S Middleton VAMC complex?

No, lakes, ponds or rivers on-site. *Lake Mendota ¼ mile away.

5. How many wood-destroying organisms service requests or services (subterranean termites, drywood termites, fungi, wood boring beetles) have occurred at William S Middleton VAMC over the past 24 months?

None.

6. Can the government verify the total number of heat treatments performed for bed bugs and/or any pest in the past 24 months?

No, heat treatments. We had one pesticide application to an in-patient room last summer and the facility owns a Zappa-Bug Heat tent.

We have requested 2 Racoon, 3 Opossum and 2 Bat trappings within the last 7-months.

Included as a precaution in areas that have slow water run-off during rainy season.

9. The government indicated that lice are included as a covered pest. Does the government understand that as per the United States CDC that lice are not considered a pest industry concern but rather medical conditions that require medical treatment?

To the VA’’s understanding there are some pesticides with an oil-based formulation that may be used to suffocate the insects.

10. Will the government require SDVOSB Prime Contractors themselves to have relevant pest control past experience including pesticide applications for the best interest of public health & safety and in alliance of the VHA Directive 1850.02 Pest Management Operations and VAAM Appendix M815-A Department of Veterans Affairs Source Selection Guide?

We require all SDVOSB vendors to sign and abide by the VAAR 852.219-75 VA Notice of Limitations on subtracting clause
