Solicitation 36C25523R0084-Amendment 0004, Construct Primary Care and Women’s Health Building.

Additional questions received for the above solicitation and answers are provided below:

There are two alternate bid items we are having difficulty as there are several variations in pricing. This will result in an unbalanced line item with the various prime contracts depending on their interpretations. We would request some clarification be provide by an amendment to all primes.

· RFI #61: Bid item 4 states to eliminate staff parking and replace with grass. The drawings and documents do not indicate or show the area called 'staff parking" I have one trade partner that stated all parking comes out and replace with grass. Another said the concrete pavement to building left comes out. And another said part of the parking lot around the rain garden in front of building. To provide the VA with accurate and fair pricing, can you provide/identify the staff parking? Otherwise, the VAs budget analysis will appear unbalanced with all bidding prime contractors.

RFI #61 Response: : The Eliminate Staff Parking deduct includes the 14 spots on the west side (left). The drive aisle shall remain but the sidewalk along those 14 spots shall be removed as part of the deduct as well. All areas removed as part of the deduct shall be replaced with grass.

· RFI #62: Bid item 5 states eliminate landscaping. Drawing LP101 does not show what items of landscape remain. If all landscaping is removed, then the site will be bare soil, no grasses. Additionally, the retention areas and rain garden will have no grasses. Our trade partners are making different assumptions and we don’t have a way to determine the VA budget requirement on this bid item. Can you provide clarification in order to provide the VA an accurate, fair, and balanced deduction on landscaping?

RFI #62 Response: The Eliminate Landscaping deduct includes the elimination of trees, shrubs, perennials, mulched areas (including edging). All grass/grass seeding areas shall remain and all areas removed as part of the deduct shall be replaced with grass/grass seeding.
