In reviewing the documents issued with the RFP, it appears as if the government has issued the original B500 construction as built drawings. It also appears as if the government issued a “summary” level scope of work. Is the government going to issue drawings that actually show where the work is to take place and the extent of the actual demolition and renovation?

Accurate floor plans of where all of the work is to take place would allow all of the bidders to actually bid the same scope of work, or is the government expecting each

All work is in and adjacent to Chase-15 by stairwell #3.

012 6 May 2019

Are the as built drawings issued the RFP actually most current as built drawings reflecting any number of the changes that have occurred since the drawings were issued in 1974? As an example I was under the impression that the 5th floor north wing was the operating suite, yet the drawings issued show it to be that of an inpatient medical suite

During the site walk the COR spoke about floor plans that had been highlighted showing the limits of construction. The RFP package downloaded from FBO did not include any floor plans that show the limits of construction. The only plans issued via FBO are the original scanned copies of the "as built" drawings of Building 500. Please

Please see drawings: B500 North Tower Restoration Work 1 issue the drawings that actually show the limits of construction and the work that we are to bid on.

025 16 May 2019

Par. B.1 says the contractor is to "eliminate subsequent contamination. Cleanup, demolition, abatement and removal shall strip floors bare and limited to areas identified by VA’s Industrial Hygienist (IH) & COR" this statement appears to indicate that there is a detailed 026 report that clearly identifies the actual scope of work. In reviewing the RFP we don't find anything that details the scope of work. Can the government please provide some documentation that tells us what to bid. We need a floor plan of each area that shows the work to be performed or a report that tells us what and how much needs to be replaced in each room on each floor. At minimum we need scalable floor plans that have the correct room numbers of the rooms we are to repair and renovate.

See Drawing for work area.

Par. B.1 says the contractor is to "Provide and install patient’s lockers to replace existing Quad-metal units 12” W x 72” H x24” D per division". During the site walk we were not shown where these lockers go and the RFP does not include a plan that shows where they go and the RFP does not include a specification describing what/how the lockers are to be constructed. Can the VA provide a plan showing where the lockers are to be installed and provide a specification or a basis of design for the lockers?

Room 4061, 3040

027 16 May 2019

Par. B.5 says that the "Contractor shall preset an acceptable schedule and phased solution prior to start of work" in order to provide a schedule and to accurately bid the job, we need to know if we are going to be allowed to shut of all utilizes in the pipe basement, demo out all of the system and then work all of the systems from top to bottom or are we going to be limited to returning each utility to fully functioning after every shift, or are we going to have to run all new systems and only shut the systems down long enough to tie in each floor and then demo out all of the old systems? In other words we need to know how the VA expects the contractor to perform the work.

Some of the utility work will be scheduled off hours and weekends to minimize impact of patient’s services.

It is required to have systems up during Construction. It will require removal of un-used 8” Sprinkler Riser before installing other piping.

028 16 May 2019

During the site visit it was mentioned that we are not to replace the blue drain pipe, will the VA please confirm that we are to replace all utility piping in the utility chase, except for the blue chemical resistant drain pipe?

fire proofing is to meet/match. Is it 1 hour or 2 hour or something different?

(See Fire safety Study of Building 500)

032 16 May 2019

During the site visit we noticed that some rooms had all of the walls stripped down to the stud, and it appeared as if there were rough in for plumbing fixtures but the fixtures were missing. For plumbing situation where the fixtures have been removed or will need to be removed are we going to reinstall the existing or provide new fixtures? If we are to provide new will the VA please provide a specification of manufacture and model for each plumbing fixture that is to be installed?

033 16 May 2019

When you have a room that has ceramic tile on the walls left untouch and only one wall has been removed, are we to replace all of the walls tile or just the wall that has been removed?
