Tabitha Contreras Contracting Officer Clarifications II Project: Expand Emergency Department Project #: 580-17-101

1. Please confirm that the only head wall system/unit provide is a “horizontal unit” and not a “vertical unit”.

Answer: Horizontal unit reference detail 10/AE411

2. Drawing AE411, Detail 11 indicates equipment note number A1200, which is the patient lift system, twice – once overhead and once again on the wall. However, Detail 10, on the same drawing, indicates A1107, which is the head wall unit, in the same location as A1200 is indicated on Detail 11. Please indicate which detail is correct and revise the detail, as A1200 is VA provided and installed and A1107 is GC provided and installed.

Answer: Detail 10/AE411 is correct for the location of the head wall (A1107) GC provide and install. The patient lift (A1200) is VA provided and VA installed and is being provided only for reference. See SKA-2 attached.

3. RFI 66 asked for clarification on the scope requirements for the Sound-Absorbing Wall units. The answer references Offerors to 2/AE401, which does not indicate or make reference to sound-absorbing wall units. Please direct Offerors to the drawing/sheet number and detail number that identifies location, size, etc. for this scope.

Answer: The sound Absorbing Wall Units are located on the Nurse station work area and will be like the units used on the Demountable Partitions. The detail referenced 2/AE401 is the area of work and the panels would be and the details on sheet AE702 have it referenced as ½” Fabric Wrapped Tackable Panel. See SKA-1 attached.

4. RFI 67 states that, “one each marker board in Exam Room, 2 each at the nurse station.” Does the VA intend to have one each marker board in each Exam Room (i.e., a total of 12), plus two each in the nurse station, resulting in a total of 14 for this project?

Answer: Correct.

5. Does the prime contractor have to have a separate Site Superintendent and Quality Control person? Or can the positions be combined into one if the person meets the qualifications?

Answer: Positions can be combined as long as they qualify.

6. Can viega propress fittings be used for the heating hot water piping on the project?

Answer: No

7. Will the patient head walls require a chase to be installed in the wall?

Answer: No

8. Will the electrical receptacles in the patient head walls require illumination? If so, please describe the specific type of illumination required.

Answer: No
