Yes, the Superintendent needs to be onsite.

Answer: see answer to #4

Answer: See modernization and elevator specifications for requirements. VA design standard is to utilize MCE Controller or other approved 3rd party control system.

30. Do the elevators currently run on generator power? The VA Mare Island has existing battery lowering devices in the machine room.

Answer: The elevators in building 19 and 21 are on gen power.

The elevators in Mare Island are on gen power. Both elevators have battery lowering devices and are in use. And shall remain in operation after retrofit is complete.

Answer: The car and main rails are remaining. Interior and other layouts needed to fully modernize and upgrade the elevator, its system, and its components are required.

33. On the drawings is the language stating to “add auxiliary car operating panel”. Only elevator P1 in Building 19 has an existing auxiliary panel that needs to be replaced. Adding one to the other elevators refenced is not available or applicable to do so. My assumption is this is a mistype on the picture and drawings sets. Please advise. Answer: Contractor shall add auxiliary car operating panels.

33. Why should we replace sling & platform? This is specified on all cars and even if we were replacing the jacks we would not need to do this. During the survey there was no account of damage noticed to the sling and platform. Answer: See response to #26.

34. Why should we replace pit channels? It has not been specified to replace the jacks/cylinders. The jacks/cylinders for Bldg. 19, 20 and 201 are originally installed in 1992, 2009 and 1984. The one from 1984 should be considered for a jack replacement given the age, but we would advise checking on the most recent “pressure/load test” results for these jacks to confirm if they are required (especially on the one from 2009). Answer: See response to #28. – VDA: See Response to # 76

35. Do we need to replace the buffers? Since the buffers are attached to the pit-channels. We would replace the buffers too if the pit-channels are being required to be replaced.

Answer: Buffers should only be replaced if hydraulic cylinders are being replaced as part of the scope.

Answer: Keep sprinklers in place if they exist.

39. We would need an extension on the bid deadline. We will not be able to provide accurate pricing by 01/02/2026. Answer: See SF30 for new response date.

40. Will the VA allow advanced payments (Down Payments) for any materials or equipment to be procured under this project, or will invoicing be restricted to when the physical materials and/or equipment have been delivered to the project site? Answer: Only progress payments will be authorized under the resulting contract. See FAR 52.232-16

41. Will an asbestos and lead pre-alteration survey be a requirement of this project and will the contractors be responsible for including those costs in their bid? Answer: No survey required. No documentation identifying asbestos or lead. Contractor can test anything they find they believe may have asbestos or lead containing material and notify COR.

42. Will any temporary barriers be required at the modernization locations? If so, what are they to be constructed of? A) Are any negative air machines required? Answer: see answer to 14b

43. Please clarify when the warranty period is effective, After the completion of each elevator, or after the completion of the project in its entirety. Answer: after VA takes ownership of the elevator/beneficial occupancy and all testing is accepted for operation.

44. While working on the 1st elevator, who is responsible for the O&M of the other elevators? Are we, the Prime contractor, required to handle the interim maintenance during the POP? Answer: there is a current contract for maintenance of the elevators, that contract will cover O&M of the elevators before they are turned over to the Prime contractor for replacements. After the work is completed and accepted, the work will be covered by the Warranty of Construction FAR 52.246-21

45. Is a QCM required on this project? The Solicitation lists personnel requirements for the Project Manager, Superintendent and Safety Officer. There is no mention of a required QCM other than the last sentence of that section stating, "The superintendent cannot be the QA/QC officer.? A) can any of the above individuals double or triple hat? B) Can any of the above individuals be an employee of a subcontractor, or will the VA require the above individuals to be a full-time employee of the Prime Contractor? Answer: see answers to #4 & #8
