Vendor Questions and VA’s answers in red.

Question #1: Is the Contractor responsible for removing insulation from medium and high-pressure steam lines and hot water piping to facilitate bolt survey?

Answer #1: Yes, insulation must be removed and replaced. However, if the bolts need to be replaced, insulation does not need to be replaced.

Question #2: Following completion of the survey, is the Contractor responsible for replacing and/or restoring any insulation that was removed or disturbed during the course of the work?

Answer #2: Yes. However, if the bolts need to be replaced, insulation does not have to be installed.

Question #3: If asbestos-containing materials (ACM) are present in an area that impedes surveying the bolts, should the contractor exclude that area? Or will identified ACM be handled through a modification for abatement?

Answer #3: If asbestos is encountered during the survey, a modification to the contract will need to be done.

Question #4: How does the VA anticipate surveying concealed pipe behind walls or chases? Should bolts that require wall demo be excluded from the survey?

Answer #4: When the beginning of the pipe is exposed and has been surveyed and requires replacement, it is assumed that all bolts on the pipe run will be the same type of bolt.

Question #5: Access to piping systems throughout the facility will be time consuming and require continued coordination. Some areas will need access to ceilings, chases, or in confined spaces. We ask that the period of performance be modified to 180 calendar days for the full survey, reporting, and reviews.

Answer #5: The performance period will be adjusted due to the complexity of this requirement to 180 days.

Question #6: Does the VA anticipate the contractor providing any level of infection control during this survey? Often investigative work does not require ICRA measures, however, we need to be certain for bidding purposes.

Answer #6: Infection control measures that create dust in public areas will require ICRA measures. However, 1 removing ceiling tile within a 50 sq ft area is permitted without ICRA barriers. Mechanical spaces will not require ICRA.

Question #7: Can the VA provide a mechanical as-built or utility drawing of all lines that are to be included in the survey?

Answer #7: The VA does have drawings of the utility lines, but not 100% updated/correct. Drawings/plans provided.
