Charee Harris Contract Specialist Proposal Inquiry: (Type inquiry below)

1. Section 01 91 00 – General Commissioning Requirements, Part 1.8-C1 states that the VA will engage the Commissioning Agent (CxA) under a separate contract. Will the VA confirm that they will hire the CxA under a separate contract and that this will not be a cost to the Contractor? General Commissioning Requirements will not be a separate contract, it shall fall under the construction contract.

1. Section 01 00 00, Part 1.2 – Statement of Bid Items lists Item II, Alternate No. 1 as “TBD”. Will there be any Bid Alternates for this Solicitation? No Bid Alternates for this requirement, it will be all or none.

1. Will the VA designate an area for on-site storage / office trailer for this project? No space is available on-site for the storage / office trailer, trash dumpster or sani-hut. We will allow use of the restrooms in the hospital, which will be designated at the pre-construction meeting. We will also be providing a space within the hospital for a table and filing cabinet.

1. Section 01 00 00, Part 1.13 – Professional Surveying Services requires the Contractor to hire a registered land surveyor for this project. If a Surveyor is required for this project, will the VA describe the tasks and deliverables expected? Not required.

Will the VA provide a properly edited Specification Section 02 82 11, and importantly including Part 1.1.2 – Extent of Work? The Specification Section 02 82 11 will not be edited at this time. A Hazardous Material Survey will be provided. It appears that extent of work is none.
