Reference
Question
Answer

1.

On the drawings, furniture notes mention rehab equipment to be relocated to a different location. Can the VA identify where that location is?

The anticipated swing space is 3C however the contractor should be prepared for any location in the building.

2.

When referring to removing and reinstalling equipment, does it specifically refer to rehab equipment such as exercise equipment, physical therapy furniture, examination tables, etc.?

Yes

3.

What about the computers, storage cabinets, and office equipment? Will the contractor be responsible for removing and reinstalling them too?

No

4.

Will the VA be responsible for removing any of the equipment in the PMRS work area?

Rehab equipment will be relocated by the contractor.

5.

In the keyed demolition notes, note 14 states, "Remove and reinstall all equipment after construction." Please advise if there is any specialized equipment that the contractor will need a specialized company to uninstall and reinstall in order to not compromise the integrity or warranty of the equipment.

Any equipment requiring specialized expertise will be contracted separately. However, none is currently anticipated.

6.

Will the VA provide photos of the PM&RS offices and storage room areas (GE123 PRO MGR PHYS, GE123 PRU Therapist, GE124, GE125, and GE126) since we could inspect these spaces during the site visit?

All areas were available during the walkthrough. No additional info is available.
