The walkthrough is estimated to take 30 minutes to an hour, and the nearest airport, Ontario Airport, is 76.7 miles away with an estimated 1 hour and 13 minute drive time.

September 12, 2024

The purpose of this addendum is to:

1) Provide an updated Bidders Checklist;

2) Provide a revised Bidder Declaration – GSPD-05-105;

Questions received and answers provided regarding mandatory walkthrough:

1) Question: Could you please provide an estimated duration for the walkthrough?

Answer: Thirty minutes to an hour, depending upon the number of attendees and questions/concerns that may arise.

2) Question: How far is the Barstow facility from the nearest airport?

Answer: Ontario Airport (ONT) is 76.7 miles away from 100 East Veterans Parkway, Barstow CA 92311. The estimated drive time is 1 hour and 13 minutes. Please see Exhibit A-1, Section 3B for information on the distance limit to the Veterans Home of California – Barstow.

3) Question: Is there any possibility of waiving the requirement to attend the walkthrough?
