X X X September 25, 2018 at 10:00 AM PT 654-18-3-6148-0385 X The purpose of this amendment is to extend closing date to September 25, 2018 at 10:00 AM Pacific Time, and to provide responses to Request For Information (RFI).

All other terms and conditions shall remain unchanged.

RFI Question 2 – To confirm the plans show the landscaping at the area near the intersection of E. Taylor Street and Kirman Avenue, between the sidewalks and the curb/on-street parking lanes portion to provide “new” plants per the scope of work; however, the scope of work does not provide a quantity, it only says 3 different species of plants. Can you please provide a quantity and exact locations for plants? Can you also confirm there are no new trees or boulders for this area?

Answer 2 – Quantities and locations of plants are the responsibility of the contractor – provide design for planting and irrigation systems not to exceed budget. Can confirm no new trees/or boulders to be provided at this location.

RFI Question 3 – Per the Scope on the landscaping portion on the Locust / ED area “The work will require the installation of new plants and five (5) trees, irrigation system, DG, and twelve (12) landscaping boulders measuring at least 36” L x 36” W x 36” H, and reinstallation of salvaged river rock at the sloped area adjacent to the Emergency Department building on Locust Street as described in section 2.a. above” can you confirm there are no pavers being installed in this area? Additionally, can you please provide the quantity and location of the plants for this area? Lastly, can we sleeve the new irrigation line in lieu of a “Pre-Cast” trench.

Answer 3 – Quantities and locations of plants are responsibility of the contractor – provide design for planting, trees, and irrigation systems. Can confirm no pavers to be provided at this location. Irrigation plumbing routing below existing ambulance driveway must be rated to avoid crushing under load of vehicle traffic.

RFI Question 4 - Also the scope says “contractor shall coordinate plant selections for this project with those listed in the current documentation on file for Office of Construction and Facilities Management Project Number VA-101-11-RP-0103 VA Sierra Nevada Health Care System – Building 1 Seismic Upgrade & Clinical Expansion” ; however I cannot find any link on this announcement nor anything on FBO. Can you please provide a link to the document, or provide the species of the tree and 3 plants the VA is requiring?

Answer 4 - The following plants will be acceptable for use in this project; proposal shall include at least three (3) different species of plant at each location.

Trees:

Gleditsia Triacanthos var. Inermis Thornless Honeylocust

Plants:

Armeria Maritima Common Thrift Coreposis Grandiflora “Flying Sauces” Coreopsis Helictotrichon Sempervirens Blue Oat Grass Kniphofia Hybrids “Little Maid” Red-Ho Poker Mahonia Aqufolium “Orange Flame” Oregon Grape

RFI Question 5 – There doesn’t seem to be an instruction to bidder section.

A) Is this bid due by email?

B) Any bonds required for this project?

Answer 5 – Quotes are due via email to charee.harris@va.gov Bonds not required for this project, as it has been classified as a service.
