X X X X Project Title: Install Building 644 Dermatology Generator Site Prep This amendment clarifies the following to the Solicitation package:

1. Answers all RFIs and puts the site visit sign in sheet.

2. No change in proposal due date. Fee Proposal Due Date: June 17, 2026 by 10:00 AM PDT.

All other terms and conditions shall remain unchanged.

Charee Harris Contracting Officer RFI Questions and Responses For 36C26126R0037 Install Building 644 Dermatology Generator Site Prep Project specifications, SOW, and RFI responses are complementary and neither shall take precedent over the other. It is the sole responsibility of the contractor to seek clarification prior to submitting a bid amount if there should appear to be a discrepancy between solicitation documents. Otherwise, the most stringent (typically most expensive) requirement shall apply at the discretion of the COR.

Answer : The VA does not specify a required manufacturer. Product cut sheet submittal and physical sample submittals for artificial turf are required. Artificial turf submittals must comply with Specification 013216 (Shop Drawings, Product Data, and Samples). The product must meet all requirements in Part 5 – Artificial Grass Installations of the SOW, including manufacturer‑approved: installation, perimeter attachment, seams, and drainage requirements. Product specification requirements are provided in Part 5 – Artificial Grass Installations of the SOW.

Answer : The SOW states that the contractor shall furnish and install approximately 75 LF of permanent stainless‑steel handrail, including a continuous concrete handrail curb, matching nearby installations. Acknowledging nearby installation shows embedment, either surface mounting or embedment are acceptable mounting solutions to the VA. Installation must meet ADA standards with a height 34 inches above walking surface.

Image of nearby installation required to match shown below:

Answer : The SOW states, “Prior to beginning any construction work, the contractor shall perform a detailed topographic survey of all affected areas and submit layout drawings for review and approval by the COR. These drawings shall illustrate the proposed work, including but not limited to concrete limits and ramp configurations. Drawings shall indicate final grading and slope percentages.”

This requirement establishes that ramp configurations including any proposed alternatives are subject to COR review.

Alternative details are acceptable under specific criteria.

1) The alternative ramp detail meets or exceeds ADA requirements, and Barrier Free Design Standards: https://www.cfm.va.gov/til/etc/dsBarrFree-2025-05.pdf.

2) The alternative ramp detail matches all applicable VA specifications.

3) Maintains drainage requirements of the planned installation area.

4) The COR approves the alternative as part of the required submittal for this SOW.

Answer : The SOW requires demolition of up to 1,000 square feet of existing concrete as needed to meet ADA slopes. The exact limits are to be field‑determined in coordination with the COR. All existing utilities must be protected; contractor must demolish and reconstruct in compliance with VA specifications, maintain drainage, and restore affected areas.

Answer : The contractor is responsible for locating and avoiding utilities during demolition and construction.

Answer : All individuals working on site longer than a period of 14 days out of a calendar year will need to be badged through the VA’s PIV process. Work outside of normal working hours (7:00am-5:00pm) is subject to approval by the COR.

Answer : The existing tap box to be relocated to the new generator enclosure. No additional tap box is required.

Answer : The SOW does not waive QC or SSHO requirements, nor does it state that roles may be combined. VA specification requirements apply, and separate roles are required.

Answer : No such drawings are available to provide with this solicitation. The contractor is therefore required to field verify all existing site conditions, including grades, pavement limits, sidewalk alignments, landscape features, and any other elements necessary to complete the work in accordance with the SOW.

Answer : Please see “SOW Attachment 11 – Building 644 Electrical As‑Built Drawings”, which has been added to the solicitation through this amendment. The contractor is required to field verify all existing electrical conditions, including conduit routing, conductor sizes, tap box configuration, and any utilities within the work area, prior to commencing any electrical work.

Answer : Please see response to question #9.

Answer : Please see response to question #10.

Answer : The enclosure is intended for a mobile generator staged on asphalt. Therefore, no concrete generator foundation slab is required unless added by later amendment.

Answer : The contractor shall extend the existing conduit, replace conductors as needed, and install all conduit penetrations and terminations required for relocation of the tap box. The contractor is not responsible for connecting the mobile generator to the tap box unless required by a later amendment.

Answer : A copy will be attached with this response.

Answer : The SOW requires the contractor to perform all site prep, drainage work, subgrade preparation, and installation per manufacturer requirements and approved shop drawings. The system must meet all requirements in Part 5 – Artificial Grass Installations, including proper infill, brushing seams, and perimeter termination. Specific base material gradations are not provided and must follow manufacturer guidelines.

Answer : Individuals assigned to Site Super, SSHO, or QC can also be Competent Persons in regard to OSHA requirements (29 CFR 1926.20(b)(2).

Answer : The SOW does not authorize combining these roles.

Answer : The contractor is responsible for furnishing all temporary power requirements during construction.

Answer : The contractor must provide safe, ADA‑compliant temporary pedestrian routing around all active work areas. Access to Buildings 644 and 651 must be maintained at all times. Temporary ramps and any roadway obstruction measures must be provided by the contractor as needed. Traffic control plans are required to be submitted to the COR for any roadway obstruction activities. Sidewalk work requires a temporary ADA‑compliant pedestrian path throughout the entire duration of construction ensuring uninterrupted access to Buildings 644, 646, and 651.
