About this file

This is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) document for Fort Bayard National Cemetery Burial Expansion & Cemetery Improvements project (Solicitation #36C78624B0044) issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration.

The Q&A clarifies that the project has a target award/NTP date no later than January 5, 2025, with a 180-day contract duration applying to CLIN 001. Key details include: phased work plan is required, SWIPP costs should be included in Environmental Controls Pay Item, and hydroseeding is not acceptable in place of sod. The contractor will receive drawings that have not been reviewed by jurisdictional authorities. The Contractor Quality Control Manager (CQCM) and Site Safety and Health Officer (SSHO) are required on-site as needed per bid documents, particularly during concrete work or manhole access. Material payments require paid receipts, and cemetery-owned stored materials will be relocated by others before contractor work begins. In-ground cremains construction should follow detail E9/C-402 and earthwork specification 31 20 00.
