X x x The purpose of this amendment is to answer Requests for Information (RFIs) 1 and 2.

RFI #1 Specification Section 09 91 00 – Painting, Part 1.1(5) states “Painting gypsum drywall expo sed to view”. We found no keynotes or instructions in the drawings requiring any drywall painting for this project. Will the VA confirm this sub-part is for any damage that may occur during construction or is it for a wider painting scope?

Answer: There are no drywall painting requirement for this project. VA confirms that this instruction is for any damage that may occur during construction.

RFI #2 – Specification Section 01 00 10 – Contractor Quality Control, Part 3.4.1(A) Personnel Requirements states that the CQC staff shall maintain a presence at the site at all times during the progress of the work. Part 3.4.2(C) states the CQC Manager must be a graduate engineer, graduate architect, or a graduate construction manager. Sub-part “D” states that the home Office Project Manager may also serve as the CQC Manager, but when absent from the work site, an alternate must be on site who meets the same requirements as the CQC Manager.

· Please clarify, is it the VA expectation that the contractor will have a full time superintendent and a separate full time CQC on site at all time?

· Answer: Yes, always full time SPS (FAR 52.236-6 -- Superintendence by the Contractor (Apr 1984)). The superintendent can also be the CQC.

· Will the VA accept a CQC who has 10 years of verifiable construction quality control/management experience instead of a college degree?

· Answer: Yes, VA will accept 10 years verifiable experience instead of degree.

· Will the VA confirm that the Site Project Superintendent (SPS) may not be the same individual on-site as the CQC Manager?

· Answer: The SPS can also be the CQC.
