About this file
This file is a Pre-Bid Request for Information (RFI) log for Solicitation 36C25226B0015, documenting 11 questions and VA responses related to sanitary sewer pipe repair work at a Veterans Affairs facility (Building B58). The RFI responses provide critical clarifications on project scope and requirements for prospective bidders.
Key clarifications from the VA responses include: trenchless pipe rehabilitation methods (such as cured-in-place pipe lining) are acceptable if approved under the Illinois plumbing code; contractors must hold an Illinois State Plumbing License as the sanitary sewer system connects to the Danville City sewer system; televising and locating of pipe lines is the contractor's responsibility and will not be performed by the VA; and all abandoned piping and fittings located in the affected work area must be removed and disposed of by the contractor before project completion, with removal requirements extending beyond the immediate repair area. The RFI log references Amendment 0002 to the solicitation, which extended the bid due date to April 8, 2026, at 1:00 PM CST, with bid opening held in-person at the Great Lakes Acquisition Center (GLAC) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Questions were submitted by contractors including B2 Solutions, SterileCO LLC, and A&R Mechanical Contractors Inc between February 25 and March 11, 2026.
