2. Are the Air Handlers and Condensers to be replaced?

VA answer: Yes, please refer to the SOW for more information.

3. There are 3 zones, do we work one zone at a time due to the building being occupied?

4. Do we need to supply a temporary unit system to cool down the zone area being worked on?

VA answer: Since guests will not be occupying the house during the HVAC work, it will not be necessary to supply a temporary unit system to cool the zone being worked on.

5. Are you requiring 3 separate mobilizations for each zone?

VA answer: Not sure what you mean by 3 separate mobilizations. Once the project work starts, it must be completed. You mobilize once and work and complete the project.
