Solicitation Number: 36C25719Q1417 Amendment Number: 0002 A. This amendment form is a part of the solicitation documents, and amends the project solicitation as noted below. You must submit a signed copy of this amendment with your offer. Failure to do so may subject your offer to be disqualified. Amendments to the solicitation are as follows:

1. Questions and Answers:

Question 1: What is the asbestos, hazardous material and lead abatement requirements associated with this project? Should we expect to remediate asbestos, hazardous material, or lead? If abatement is required, request that the VA provide the appropriate survey report.

Answer: No abatement required

Question 2: What will the ICRA level be for the project?

Answer: Low

Question 3: Will any of the work that we will be performing be required to be performed after normal duty hours or on weekends?

Answer: Section 3 subsection 3.5 of the SOW states: “Contractor shall provide and install temporary unit set on trailer at adjacent road on east side of bldg. 171 to provide cooling throughout project duration. Temporary unit is to be set up during afterhours to minimize building occupant disruption.”

Question 4: Will contractors have access to the restrooms in Building 171?

Answer: Yes

Question 5: What is the construction fencing requirement for this project?

Answer: Fencing will need to contain the work area

Question 6: Will the VA extend the period of performance from thirty (30) days to ninety (90) days. Submittals and procurement of required materials will take sixty (60) days followed by thirty (30) days to complete required work for a total of ninety (90) days to complete the project.

Answer: 90 days is the projected time of completion

Question 7: Please provide a specification on the size of the temporary chiller

Answer: 200 Tons

Question 8: Please provide the name for the preferred contact at Johnson Controls to get pricing for connection to the JCI BAS system? As this is an SDVOSB set aside project specifying JCI product connections, we have been unable to get information regarding a cost for the connection to the JCI BAS at the Temple TX VA Hospital. Any assistance you could provide with the contact information would be appreciated.

Answer: Joe Kratch (512) 748-2356 / james.j.kratch@jci.com

Question 9: Please clarify how to address manufacturing lead time into the period of performance? If the NTP is based on award, there is an issue when the anticipated lead time for the equipment involved in the project, including shipping is estimated at 6 weeks. The time for actual construction seems reasonable but lead time will prohibit an immediate start from the NTP.

Answer: Appx 90 days from NTP

Question 10: Can the existing concrete slab be utilized for placement of the new equipment or is a new concrete pad required for this project?

Answer: Pad extension is required

Question 11: Will third party testing, commissioning and balancing be required as part of the solicitation

Answer: No

Question 12: Will a lay down area be provided for this project? Will it be secured?

Answer: No

B. ALL OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS REMAIN UNCHANGED.
