3. Attendees are advised that any remarks and/or explanations made during this virtual meeting shall not change the terms of the solicitation. The terms of the solicitation and specifications remain unchanged unless the solicitation is amended in writing by the Contracting Officer. All amendments have to be signed by the Offeror and provided upon delivery of their proposal.

4. The following items will be discussed; however, this list may not be all inclusive. The attachments have been grouped into somewhat logical locations so that Subject Matter Experts may find it easier to locate documents that best suits their expertise. Total Pages of a document are placed in parenthesis (##).

a. The Presolicitation, “The Solicitation”, and “The Agreement” provide the most detail for submitting your proposal. The number preceding an entry is the attachment reference.

i. 2. Presolicitation in SAM 2024 08 24 (9). This is provided rather than repasting the original Presolicitation. Changes and important

Docusign Envelope ID: 6ACD1D02-8A72-49A3-B37D-428F0F09B663 requirements/reminders are highlighted and added in the Solicitation for additional clarity.

iii. 5. Form B - Request for Construction Documents 2024 08 07 (2) will be attached to the Solicitation and is for “Other Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU)” documents. Each Offeror will not be able to view the documents until GSA receives a completed Form B Document Security via email sent to paul.murphy@gsa.gov. Paul Murphy will send confirmation of receipt for every email received.

The Form B is not needed prior to the Pre-Proposal Conference as this virtual meeting is to help prepare each Offeror for submitting their Proposal and there is limited notice of this virtual meeting.
