ADDENDA #1 August 21, 2025

RFQ 36C25525Q0499

LockOut/TagOut Services for the Kansas City VAMC

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

1. Question #1: Does any of the 399 pieces of equipment require more than 1 energy control procedure (ECP)?

a. If so, can you please specify how many additional ECP's you expect may be needed based on multiple energy sources?"

Answer #1:No the 399 will be the only equipment requiring procedures

2. Question #2: The SOW, page 8, states that “Services shall be executed throughout all KCVAMC buildings at two campus locations (divisions):”, however only one address is listed. Can the government confirm the number of locations that this requirement pertains to?

Answer #2: The other location is the Honor Annex 4251 Northern Ave, Kansas City, MO 64133

3. Question #3: Relating to the question above, can the government confirm that the 399 count of procedures is a either a not to exceed amount for the SOW, or just a rough estimate of procedures that may be exceeded based on site conditions?

Answer #3:This will not exceed the SOW, both the Maintenance and Operation supervisor and compliance office counted the devices.

4. Question #4: Regarding the energy source tags to be installed on the equipment, does the government require a specific type of material (brass, plastic, etc.) to be utilized for the energy source tags and mounting hardware?

Answer #4: Material should be durable

5. Question #5: In the SOW it mentions linking Confined Space Permit documents to respective LOTO procedures. Will the government supply the current confined space permits, or is the contractor required to also develop confined space entry procedures as a part of this effort?

Answer #5:KCVA will provide the current confined space areas but will not need specific procedures for devices.

6. Question #6: Regarding the five training sessions to be performed, does the government require training solely on the LOTO software, or does the training also need to cover LOTO regulatory requirements? As a follow up question, are all training sessions required to be performed within the same time period (i.e. consecutive days), or do they need to be split up over multiple weeks?

Answer #6: This training is for LOTO software, and the training will need to be split to accommodate employee shifts.

7. Question #7: Regarding the optional CLINs, does the government solely require the licensing be continued for each year, or are any other LOTO services required during the option years? For example, audit existing procedures, additional training, etc. If other services are required, could you list the deliverable requirements?

Answer #7: No further services will be required

8. Question #8: Regarding the software to be utilized, Section D(12) of the SOW mentions “eLOTO training and software”. Specifically, eLOTO is software sold by the Master Lock company. Does the government require that the specific MasterLock eLOTO software be used, or may other programs be used, provided they meet the SOW requirements?

Answer #8:We don’t require it to be a specific MasterLock eLOTO program
