1 2/13/2025 Via Amendment

Good day to you!

I would like to know if it would be acceptable to provide a LEED Interior Designer in lieu of a LEED Architect for this submittal.

Please consider the scope of each of these positions. An LEED Architect fulfills the need for this requirement.

2 2/18/2025 Via Amendment

1.The notice states, “The A-E shall demonstrate that they are able to sign and stamp each drawing by individuals licensed in the state of their home office and where the work is being performed.” We believe this requirement may be overly restrictive. Would you consider issuing an amendment allowing personnel to be licensed in any state within the United States?

In order for a firm or individual to be permitted by law to practice the profession of architecture or engineering, it must be:

. Licensed by the state in which it is practicing . A registered professional in the state in which it is practicing.

3 2/18/2025 Via Amendment

2.The notice also specifies that personnel listed for each discipline must have been full-time employees of the firm for at least 10 years. This requirement may pose challenges, particularly for small businesses and firms that have been in business for less than 10 years. Would you be open to revising or removing this requirement to allow for greater participation?

The VA sustains it’s notion that it is looking for Service Disabled Veteran Owned Businesses (SDVOSBS) that have documented cohesiveness demonstrated through longevity within the firm. The VA will consider a minimum of 7 years.
