I. The purpose of the amendment is to respond to vendor questions as follows:

1. Is the VA requesting to Fumigate vs Spot Treatment? Fumigation requires tenting the whole building where a Spot Treatment is applying treatment to a spot area which is normally defined as a 2 x 2 square foot area. Spot Treatment is more cost effective than Fumigation.

Response: When treatment is required for termites or other structural pest, a contractor shall make every effort to eradicate termites or structural pest with other chemical treatments other than tenting. Where fumigation with gaseous agents are required to treat soil for termites or structural pest, a contractor will be required to obtain permission from the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) prior to treatment.

2. If the VA is requesting spot treatment can line item 4 be corrected to reflect a Spot Treatment?

Response: Since the VA requests for Termite Fumigation, the Line Items 4 remains unchanged.

3. Is there any history as to the number of spot treatments completed over the past 12 months at these sites?

Response: Over the past 12 months at these sites, there was one spot treatment for $275.00, and there was one estimated for spot treatment for $575.00, but the work for $575.00 hasn’t been approved to proceed.

Note: This historical information was provided by the incumbent contractor for the current contract for pest control services. The VA did not keep separate records of these events. The actual number of emergency calls for this procurement will depend upon current conditions at the facilities serviced and may be more or less than this average.

4. We're looking to bid on this project, but the FBO page says the project is unrestricted set aside, but the 1449 says SDVOSB. Can you please clarify?

Response: The requirement is 100% set-aside to a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB).

5. We received the notice for the VA Greater LA Healthcare Systems Bid for Pest Control and I would like to submit the following question:

I see 2 different due dates listed- 10/26/18 and 10/29/18, Can you please confirm the due date and time?

Response: The Offer Due Date is October 26, 2018, Noon/ Pacific Time (PT), see block 8 of the 1st page of the Standard Form 1449.

II. All other terms and conditions remained unchanged.
