About this file
This document is a technical questions tracking spreadsheet for solicitation number 36C77623B0028 for the Y1DA--EHRM Training and Admin Phase II project at the Poplar Bluff VA facility. Key details include questions from contractors regarding specifications for installing conduit, contacting the city regarding construction access off Old Orchard Road, contingency plans if access is denied, requirements for temporary construction gates and a handrail, and whether an arborist certificate or sealer will be required. The VA has provided responses clarifying their design intent for the conduit, identifying the city contact for access discussions and negotiating alternate access routes with MoDot if needed, noting contractors will retain temporary gates and be responsible for determining required widths, and confirming sealer and arborist certificates will not be required. The final solution for construction access will be determined prior to issuance of notice to proceed.
