About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document providing vendor clarifications for solicitation 36C26226Q1102, a tree and stump removal project issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 22.
The VA confirmed that prevailing wages per Service Contract Act WD 2015-5613, revision 32 are required, and no bonding requirement applies to the project. Site visit access is available for vendors to conduct independent assessments during weekdays at two locations: Building 99 (10 tree stumps), Building 201 (6 tree stumps), and behind Building 52 (3 trees requiring cutting). The VA clarified that subcontractors holding California D-49 Tree Service contractor licenses are acceptable to satisfy the special standard of responsibility requirement, in addition to C-61 and C-27 classifications. The VA indicated it will not schedule additional formal site visits and directed vendors to self-assess the project sites during business hours to evaluate size, condition, and access requirements for their proposals.
