1. Have the buildings been benchmarked against the Guiding Principles Checklist in the past? If so, please provide the checklists?

VA RESPONSE – Commissioning was performed in 2018. VA will provide the successful bidder with a copy of the commissioning report.

3. Does the simplified acquisition threshold apply to the value of this contract?

VA RESPONSE – Yes

4. Are you anticipating additional funding to be made available prior to the “Implementation assistance” phase to ensure recommendations are implemented within the base year POP?

VA RESPONSE – Yes, required actions will be handled through separate contractual actions.

5. Is there a possibility to modify this contract for the team performing the Initial Assessment to execute the implementation of recommendations?

VA RESPONSE – The required actions will be competed out and awarded as separate contract action /purchase orders rather than as modifications to the base contract.
