About this file

Written by GovTribe AI ·

This document appears to be a set of bid questions related to a federal contract solicitation for the inspection and testing of approximately 382 fire dampers at the Fargo VA Health Care System.

The key details are:

  • The work is considered construction and not a service contract, despite the contractor's concerns.
  • Drawings were provided for some type of roofing project, which do not seem related to the fire damper work.
  • A mobile containment unit should be planned for, as there will be areas requiring it.
  • Previous fire damper inspection reports will be provided to the awarded contractor.
  • The period of performance may be extended to allow for fire damper material delays, if properly documented.
  • Accessibility issues for certain fire dampers will be addressed on a case-by-case basis, with the majority expected to be accessible.

1. In reviewing the SOW for Testing Fire Dampers this activity is normally not considered construction. There are numerous other ongoing VA contracts for Fire Dampers that are standard Service Contracts. Making it a construction NAICS code will greatly increase the price for what is SCA based work. Can this contract solicitation be changed to service instead of construction?

No there is construction with this project which is why it is prepared as a construction project.

1. The drawings provided are for some type of roofing project and don't seem related to the fire damper project. Can you please confirm drawings?

Drawings attached

1. Are there any specific areas that will require a mobile containment unit?

One should be planned for as there will be areas that it may be necessary.

1. Is there a previous damper inspection report that can be provided?

Info is attached and more info will be supplied to the bidder once project is awarded.

1. Will the site visit take us to specific areas that have dampers that require the moving of conduit, pipes or MEP Equipment?

Nobody attended the pre-bid walk-through

1. Can the period of performance be extended to allow for fire damper material delays?

Most of this should be readily available. Once project is awarded and one can provide documentation of delay it can be discussed.

1. If we find a damper that is inaccessible, sow or was not shown on site visit how should we proceed with that unexpected cost item?

You should figure in for some issues but they could be identified at walk-through. However, if it is unreasonable or outside of the norm we would address at that point. It all depends on what you mean by inaccessible but most of these are accessible and have been inspected in the past. I believe we have eliminated access issues and most should be accessible.
