About this file
This document is a set of questions and answers related to a presolicitation notice for a federal contract opportunity. The presolicitation is for Architect-Engineer (A-E) services to correct deficiencies and redesign/replace aged piping for the steam distribution system at the Mann-Grandstaff VA Medical Center in Spokane, Washington. The contract is anticipated to be awarded in mid-December 2024 with a 315-calendar day period of performance for design completion. The construction cost estimate is between $9-10 million. The procurement is a 100% set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs). The key details include the required qualifications for the commissioning agent, acceptance of non-LEED certified architects, page limit changes, and the government's intent to provide attachments only to the successful A-E firm. Offerors must be SDVOSB certified and meet the NAICS code requirement at the time of SF 330 submission, written response submission, and award.

Request for Information – Government Response
668-25-101 Upgrade Facility Steam and Condensate System Solicitation Number: 36C26024R0003 Spokane VAMC Below are questions that were submitted by potential Contractors for the above referenced project along with the Government’s answers to the Request for Information.
| Contractor Questions | Government Response | |
| 1. | ||
| Is the A/E to provide qualifications for a commissioning agent in its SF330 submission, or will the awarded firm provide those after contract award? | ||
| The awarded firm will provide qualifications for the commissioning agent at the 10% submittal. |
| 2. |
| Are specific credentials required of the commissioning agent? |
| See section 3.9.1 of the SOW for commissioning requirements. |
| 3. |
| Selection Criterion 1 lists a total of 9 key positions and disciplines, including LEED certified architect. This project appears to have little architectural scope; would an RA or AIA be acceptable in lieu of LEED certification? |
| Yes, a non-LEED certified architect would be acceptable for this project. |
| 4. |
| Will the VA consider increasing the page limit of Section H to at least 10 pages? One page for the offeror does not allow sufficient space to address Selection Criteria 3, 5, and 6, as well as the secondary selection criterion. |
| Page 8 of the Presolicitation Notice says the narrative submissions shall not exceed ten (10) pages total for this criterion and remains unchanged. |
| 5. |
| Will the VA consider increasing the overall page limit to at least 50? Required pages (9 resumes, 3 projects, Part I, organizational chart) account for 14 of those pages, leaving little space to address Selection Criteria 3, 5, and 6, as well as the secondary selection criterion. |
| The SF 330 submission has been amended to read, “must not exceed a total of 35 pages.” |
| 6. |
| We do not have the attachments below that were listed in the SOW for Project 668-25-101 Upgrade Facility Steam and Condensate System. Were these intended to be included in this solicitation or are these mentioned to be included after selection? |
| These attachments will only be given to the successful A/E firm during the solicitation process. |
