X x x The purpose of this amendment is to answer the questions received and include the site visit sign in sheet.

All other terms and conditions remain the same.

Questions

1. Will a temporary parking space/area be provided for contractor on site during the performance period?

Answer: Yes.

1. Drawings for physical plant and several of the buildings were not provided as part of the solicitation. Will a design analysis or some other descriptive document be provided that explains the water systems?

Answer: Yes.

1. Will contractor have full access to the entire site or will an escort be required?

Answer: Mostly. But, there are certain restricted areas due to either safety or security reasons which would require coordination for access with the Contracting Officer several weeks ahead of time.

1. What is the VA’s intent for identifying dead legs? The timeframe and cost are not in line with walking through the facility and inspecting the plumbing system. Are there known dead legs that the contractor will be told about and then investigate or will it be a paper/CAD review?

Answer: As per the statement of work, the intent is to determine areas of risk for the growth and potential presence of the Legionella P. pathogen, and how to eliminate this risk. A thorough physical survey and evaluation of as-built conditions are required.

1. A flushing plan for the existing domestic water system was emphasized during the site visit. The best method to develop this is through modeling the water system, which will add significant cost. How does the VA propose the contractor to develop and provide the flushing plan?

Answer: Excellent question. Extensive building plumbing information and design model data shall also be available as noted in previous government responses to questions in #1 and #2.

1. Can you please verify that the 90-day performance period is anticipated to be sufficient to complete the requested scope?

Answer: Currently, this is not anticipated to be an issue for the successful bidder; however, reasonable requests along with relevant justifications for additional time may be made through the Contracting Officer should the need arise.
