About this file
This file is a Request for Information (RFI) tracker documenting 134 pre-bid questions and government responses related to SDVOSB Solicitation 36C77626R0065 for EHRM Infrastructure Upgrades at Castle Point VA Medical Center in Wappinger Falls, New York. The project involves comprehensive renovation and infrastructure upgrades across multiple buildings on a 730-day performance period.
The RFIs address critical clarifications across multiple disciplines: civil work including site utilities, earthwork, drainage, and stormwater systems; structural work including foundation design, dewatering requirements, earth retention systems, and prefabricated ramp specifications; architectural finishes, glazing systems, and fire protection installations; mechanical systems including VRF HVAC, fuel oil piping containment, generator specifications, and chilled water/steam tie-ins; electrical work including generator power ratings, underground ductbanks, and concrete encasement requirements; and telecommunications infrastructure encompassing fiber optic backbone cables (96-strand OS2 umbilical, 12-strand OS2/24-strand OM4 cables), category 6A cabling for workstation outlets, access control systems, video surveillance with no additional licensing required, and fire alarm panel integration. Key contractual clarifications include confirmation that the project is a 100% SDVOSB set-aside requiring VA PIV badging for all personnel, that this is a Firm Fixed Price contract with no economic price adjustment clauses, that design team members are precluded from serving as prime contractors or subcontractors, that stored materials payment is at the Contracting Officer's discretion, and that Notice to Proceed is anticipated within 90 days of award. Environmental scope includes asbestos and presumed asbestos-containing materials abatement with limited scope in Building 88 due to design changes from full renovation to wall-mounted telecommunications enclosure. The file reflects extensive coordination among the A/E team, VA departments, and prospective contractors regarding sequencing constraints in patient-care areas, off-hours work requirements for recabling activities, and VA responsibility for active network equipment programming and cutover.

| Numbered Item & Submittal | VA / Client Comments - Compiled from multiple review documents by phase |
| Item # | CPS Phase | Discipline | Reference | Description | Contractor Question | VA Dept. | Government Response | Gov. Reviewer | A/E Responses | A/E Reviewer | Chris Hanson review | Review Date | |
| 001 | Pre-Bid | Will the government pay for materials stored per VAAR 852.232-70 and FAR 52.232-5? We have experienced PCAC Contracting Officers refusal to pay for materials stored on site during these periods of material shortages and the need to expedite procurement of materials when available to meet schedule obligations and prevent project delays. This is an important factor in preparing Price proposals. | In accordance with contract terms and conditions, Contractors should not submit an offer assuming the Government will approve monthly progress payments for material and/or equipment procured by the Contractor and stored on the construction site, as space is available, or at a local approved location off the site. Payment of stored materials and/or equipment is at the Contracting Officer’s discretion and will be handled on a case-by-case basis during the contract and under such terms and conditions as the Contracting Officer approves. | PCAC | |||||||||
| 002 | Pre-Bid | Please confirm that any designers or consultants who provided professional services for the construction documents, including reports, are precluded from pursuing this project as a Prime contractor, Mentor-Protégé partner, or subcontractor. | Any member of the design team of this project is not permitted to be part of the construction team. | PCAC | |||||||||
| 003 | Pre-Bid | Please confirm that this project is a competitive SDVOSB set-aside and that any bonding provided by a contractor must be through a SDVOSB or SBA/VA APPROVED Mentor-Protégé partnership under the SBA/VA Mentor-Protégé program in which the partnership has been approved prior to the due date. | This project is set aside for SDVOSBs. The bonding requirements must be met for this project per the applicable clauses, provisions, and instructions to offerors. | PCAC | |||||||||
| 004 | Pre-Bid | Please confirm that a large business not part of an SBA/VA APPROVED Mentor-Protégé team under the VA Mentor-Protégé program cannot provide a bid guarantee or a payment & performance bond for a SDVOSB. | This project is set aside for SDVOSBs. The bonding requirements must be met for this project per the applicable clauses, provisions, and instructions to offerors. | PCAC | |||||||||
| 005 | Pre-Bid | When visiting the link, I noticed the project was “set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business” – does this mean that General Contractors cannot bid the project unless they meet that requirement? | Yes, this project is a 100% set-aside for SDVOSBs. The prime contractor submitting the offer must be certified as such in the SBA VetCert database. | PCAC | |||||||||
| 006 | Pre-Bid | Is this project tax-exempt, if so, will a certificate be provided? | No. See Special Note regarding FAR 52.229-3 Federal, State, and Local Taxes in the solicitation. It is solely the responsibility of the offeror to include all state and local sales or use taxes for construction materials, and all other applicable taxes, in their bid or proposal price. | PCAC | |||||||||
| 007 | Pre-Bid | Will the Government provide detailed written requirements for contractor badging? Please clarify the process for obtaining PIV badges, including required documentation, background checks, and estimated processing timeframes. | Regardless of affiliation, everyone working within VA facilities or requiring access to VA information systems requires a VA PIV Card. PIV badging requirements can be found at https://www.osp.va.gov/How_To_Get_A_VA_ID_Badge.asp Immediately after the bonds are provided to the Government, the contractor shall immediately start working with the identified COR at the site to commence the VA PIV process for all known contractor personnel that will be working the project. All contractors must have a PIV Card in order to work on site. | PCAC | |||||||||
| 008 | Pre-Bid | How soon after award is NTP expected to be issued? | The Government anticipates issuance within 90 calendar days after award. | PCAC | |||||||||
| 009 | Pre-Bid | Will the VA allow deviations to Buy American Act if the noted products are not available? | The process of requesting exceptions to the Buy American Act is detailed in the provision at FAR 52.225-12, Notice of Buy American Requirement—Construction Materials Under Trade Agreements, and the clause at FAR 52.225-11 Buy American—Construction Materials under Trade Agreements, in the solicitation. Any items not compliant must be specifically listed in the offer. | PCAC | |||||||||
| 010 | Pre-Bid | Due to current potentially significant tariffs being placed on the importation of building materials such as wood or steel by the current Presidential Executive Branch, if a tariff is placed after bid time and before award will the government consider a price escalation on a contract value for products such as steel or wood should the executive branch levee tariffs effecting such materials? Most of these materials would still have been Buy American compliant as the tariffs would increase pricing on all steel or wood materials, regardless of origin. | This will be awarded as a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract and all escalation should be factored in your FFP. Additionally, FAR 52.216-4 “Economic Price Adjustment – Labor and Material” is not included in the solicitation and will not be added. | PCAC | |||||||||
| 011 | Pre-Bid | Civil | CJ100 | DWGs | Sheet CJ100 - CIVIL NOTES - Civil General Note 6 states that if surplus soil needs to be removed from site, the soil shall be handled per Specification 31 20 11.

The environmental survey sample-location sheet for Building 88 indicates no ACM identified upon PLM/QTEM analysis, while Sheet 088HA101 requires removal/disposal of ACM/PACM sheetrock, wall joint compound, and 2x2 ceiling tile, and Section 02 82 11 includes estimated Building 88 abatement quantities including floor tile/mastic, ceiling tile, and drywall/joint compound. Please confirm the required asbestos/PACM abatement scope for Building 88, including whether floor tile/mastic is included. | Samples were taken in RM 006E, which was the original location for the TR. This was shifted late in the design to RM 002A, and was also modified to a Telecommunications Enclosure, requiring significantly less demolition activities in this space. Because sampling was not conducted in RM002A, the abatement plan is based on assumed quantities. Construction activities are limited to installation of FRT plywood over the wall where the TE is to be installed, as well as installation of a new semi-recessed FEC. | JG | 6/11/26 | |||||||||
| 015 | Pre-Bid | Structural | 115-S-200 | DWGs | 115-S-200 identifies a prefabricated ramp and notes that foundation and pier requirements are to be coordinated with the final selection of the ramp manufacturer.
