X X 654-18-2-3304-0073 X The purpose of this amendment is to provide responses to Requests for Information (RFI), and to upload a revised copy of the bid deduct sheet for CLIN 0002. The Bid deduct sheet must be submitted with your pricing proposal.

All other terms and conditions shall remain unchanged.

Question 1 - For contractor/sub-contractors not performing work inside the facility, will the badging requirement still apply? This has been waived on other projects for various VAs.

Per VA Police VASNHCS Reno; Any contractor that is conducting business on VA property is required to have a visitor badge. Any contractor working longer than 14 days is required to see personnel security for further credentialing. Any other questions please let us know.

Question 2 - SF541 shows no below grade joint details as would have been on the Columbus, OH VA. Other than the elevator pit are we to assume that there is no below grade joint sealant?

Please refer to detail 9/SB501 which shows below grade sealant at wall/column joints. All joints in concrete construction are to receive sealant.

Question 3 - SOG joint profiles seem similar to the Columbus, OH project and are they to be profiled while concrete is still plastic and cut to depth before final cure?

Please refer to detail 9/SB501 which shows below grade sealant at wall/column joints. All joints in concrete construction are to receive sealant.

Question 4 - Curing agents for concrete, even dissipating agents, can sometimes not fully dissipate even after several months and interfere with the specified sealers in 071900. It is imperative that the CIP concrete contractor coordinate their curing method with the Owner/GC/Waterproofing contractor. Water curing is best for sealer application and may help prevent heat induced cracking. Please provide comments regarding these issues.

Please refer to detail 9/SB501 which shows below grade sealant at wall/column joints. All joints in concrete construction are to receive sealant.

Question 5 - Specification 071900 requires a basic application rate of 125 SF per gallon for 40% silanes. This is more than adequate for broom finished concrete based on previous results with these products on similar CIP designs for other VAs. The same is not true for slick finished concrete on these projects and a rate of 175 to 200 SF per gallon is more appropriate. May we reduce the application rate on slick finished areas to the 175 SF per gallon rate instead of having to reprove this through testing on the slick finished areas?

Please refer to detail 9/SB501 which shows below grade sealant at wall/column joints. All joints in concrete construction are to receive sealant.

Question 6 - There appears to be duplicate demo project drawings posted on the FBO site. Please confirm that demo drawings part 5, 6, 7 & 8 are duplicate drawings.

In reviewing the FBO website, there does not appear to be duplicates under the Demo Drawings at 5, 6, 7 & 8. The individual print numbers are as follows: Attachment 5 is AE1.2, Attachment 6 is AD3.1, Attachment 7 is AD3.2 and Attachment 8 is AD3.3.

Question 7 - New Parking Garage project specs. There are Volumes 1 & 2 that are edited and complete but there are also multiple loose spec sections that are unedited. Please confirm that these loose spec sections are not part of these projects.

The edited specifications apply to this project.

Question 8 - On the cover sheet of the demo plans under the special note it states that the VA may possibly leave some furniture, equipment, cabinets & fixtures that they don’t want. Please quantify any items that will be left for the contractor to dispose of, so everyone is bidding the same scope.

A review of the areas was conducted on June 6, 2018, and no loose office furniture or equipment will remain. The only items that will be demolished will be attached casework/cabinets and sinks within those cabinets.

Question 9 - It is very confusing & unclear with there being (4) items to fill out (pricing schedule, price analysis, SF1442 box 17 & CLIN 2 deducts sheet) & how they relate to each other. We are requesting that the VA provide one pricing sheet for the contractors to fill out & submit. If not, can you clarify where the CLIN 2 sheet is submitted in the pricing proposal? Can the price analysis be submitted by the awardee at the scope of work that is awarded as it is unclear as to what scope of work is to be entered in to this sheet?

The base bid will be the parking garage in its entirety, and the demolition of the buildings in the demolition specifications. The contractor shall submit the CLIN 0002 bid deduct sheet as part of their price proposal. Should the project be over the intended budget, the VA will go to the next lowest price on the bid deduct sheet for CLIN 0002 (new Garage) and add to the Demolition Cost for a revised project total. A revised Bid Deduct Sheet has been provided with further clarifications.

Question 10 - Please specify stair/step nosing to be used, brand and model.

Response: Per 03 15 00 item 2.16 Stair Tread Nosing:

Extruded alum, 2 components with embedded sub-channel and replaceable vandal-proof abrasive tread plate. Also shown in Structural and Arch Drawings Safety Nosing to be Anodized aluminum.

We cannot provide a manufacturer or model – no sole source. Submitted material must conform to the above criteria.

Attachment 1 – Bid Deduct Sheet CLIN 0002.
