X X X ** HOUR & DATE for Receipt of Offers is EXTENDED to: 04-27-2026 10:00 am PDT Construction NRM Project 663A4-23-201 - Replace 40 Ton Condenser Bldg 200 Located at the VA Puget Sound Medical Center, American Lake Campus, Tacoma, WA

The purpose of this amendment is to provide a response to an additional clarification regarding the Temporary Cooler requirement as well extend the response due date to Monday, April 27, at 10:00 am PST.

Solicitation 36C26026R0035 – Replace 40 Ton Condenser, Bldg 200 – AMD 0007

Q. Contractor Question Amendment 0006 is calling for “Temporary Cooler should have the same volume, or greater, than the exterior cooler which is to be demolished.” The issue is that the outside freezer is only 60 sq ft and the understanding is that the freezer is not operational.

Shouldn’t the temporary freezer be big enough to accommodate the loss of Freezer #1 and #7 during construction? Shouldn’t we be providing a temporary cooler as well that is big enough to accommodate the loss of Refrigerator #2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8?

A. Government Response Reference item 16 of the solicitation SOW that reads:

“All work shall be phased to limit disruptions to the station. Specifically, if a freezer or refrigerating unit is to be disabled, it should first be ensured that temporary means to replace the respective function(s) are established.”

The idea is that a contractor should optimally phase outages/closures, so that any outage/closure can be accommodated by the temporary unit. The contractor should consider their capability to phase while creating a cost estimate and determining what size temporary unit is necessary. Consider the exterior unit to be demolished, to be a minimum reference size for this work. If the Contractor can not phase the work a temporary unit large enough to cover the entire interior cooling/freezing section would be necessary.
