The purpose of this amendment 0004 is to provide all potential vendor with additional questions and answers.

A.1 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:

1. Question: Page 5 of the SOW dictates that we are to provide a NEBB certified test and balance. Without engineered mechanical drawings, what is the NEBB contractor required to verify? Should we include pricing on providing a full set of engineered mechanical drawings for the mechanical scope of work?

Answer: Yes, please refer to Request for Quotation (RFQ) Statement of Work (SOW) at

Section B.2 and RFQ revised Provision at Section E.6 52.212-2 documented below at

A.2.

2. Question: Page 5 of the SOW shows a matrix with equipment sizes for (9) DX split systems that are required to be replaced. The Q and A response sheet indicates that there is a 10th DX split system that will also require replacement. What size is that unit?

Answer: Ten (10) units total, please refer to the RFQ SOW at Section B.2 paragraph 2(b) table for Line Items # 0003, 0004, and 0005.

3. Question: Page 5 of the SOW indicates (11) Terminal unit boxes that are to be replaced.

What size are these terminal boxes?

Answer: Please refer to Question and Answers (QAs) with pictures published with

Amendment 0001 on 06/28/2024.

4. Question: Page 6 note F of the SOW "work to be performed without interruption of the

VAMC operations", while Page 8 Note 7(b) indicates that we will be able to perform the work during normal business hours. I need guidance as to the occupancy of the building for the duration of this scope of work, to determine if we are pricing as regular labor, or overtime labor to allow for normal business operations of the VAMC.

Answer: Please refer to the RFQ SOW at Section B.2 paragraph 7(b).

5. Question: Page 7 note 3(b) Indicates that the mechanical contractor shall hire a commissioning agent to preform final testing on the installation. It is a conflict of interest for the installing contractor to also provide the commissioning/testing service. Please advise on who carries the commissioning of the installation.

Answer: Please refer to QAs published with Amendment 0001 on 06/28/2024.

A.2 REVISED PROVISION E.6 52.212-2(c)

1. RFQ Provision at Section E.6. paragraph (c) is hereby revised; deleted text is identified by a strikethrough and added/revised text outlined in red text.

(c) Evaluation Approach. The Government will evaluate quotations using the comparative analysis evaluation process outlined in FAR 13.106-2 (b) (3), where quotations will be compared to one another to determine which provides the best benefit to the Government. The Government reserves the right to consider a quotation other than the lowest price that provides additional benefit(s). Quotations may exceed minimum requirements of the solicitation. The Government reserves the right to select a quotation that provides benefit to the Government that exceeds the minimum requirements of the solicitation but is not required to do so. Each response must meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. The Government is not requesting and/or accepting alternate quotations that must meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation and SOW.
