The following information is being provided in this amendment:

1) The bid due date has been extended to accommodate the request copied below. See block 11 of this amendment for revised bid due date and time. Please note, although the date bids are due has been extended, the time bids are due has been changed to an earlier time.

As you may know, the Ft Harrison and Grand Island EHRM Infrastructure Upgrades projects are bidding on the same day and time (1/24/23 @ 1:00 EST). Because of the similarity in these projects, as well as the specialization in scope, there will be significant shared resources in the form of the same suppliers, subcontractors, and SDVOSBs Bidding simultaneous projects of this magnitude with due dates at the same time (and same exact titles) produces some unintended consequences:

- It increases the opportunity for bidding errors

- Reduces competition (not all suppliers and subcontractors have the capacity to bid both projects at the same time)

- Minimizes an SDVOSBs ability to provide competitive and fully vetted bids.

Will the VA consider extending the due date on one of these EHRM Infrastructure Upgrades projects?

2) The bid opening will be conducted via Microsoft Teams teleconference. An in-person bid opening will not be facilitated. Offerors may participate in the bid opening by calling in or accessing the Microsoft Teams link. The call-in number is 1-872-701-0185. When prompted for your access code, please enter 656 157 038 followed by the # key. The Microsoft Teams link can be accessed by clicking here. The conference line and link will be available and bid opening will begin on January 26, 2023, at 11:30 AM (ET). Please be advised that bid submissions are still due at 11:00 AM (ET) on this date.

3) Updated construction wage rates.
