Karla Rotondo Contracting Officer Q1: An onsite storage area for staging of 20-25 loaded trailers of precast will be required. Is there a location on the VA campus contractor can utilize for this staging area? The project site requirements are too restricted to allow ample staging area.

Per Specification 01 35 13 – Special Project Procedures, Part 1.4; there are no exclusive areas within the campus that can be given to the contractor for their storage needs.

The Contractor will be responsible for coordinating the staging, storage, and delivery of precast units, materials, and equipment in a manner that minimizes impacts to the operation of the Hospital, patients, staff, public and motor vehicle traffic. The costs associated with this coordination, including offsite storage, vehicle escorts, police details, and other costs associated with storage, staging and delivery of materials, equipment, etc. shall be included in the Contractors bid price.

The estimate from National Grid to complete the work is $26,000 and shall be included in the base bid for the project.

Yes. Fiber optic cables are known to exist below the sidewalk along Chalkstone Ave., between the utility pole and the VA property.

Q4: If the elevator manufacturer is unable to fit the selected car in the elevator shaft shown, can the shaft be expanded to support the rough opening requirements? Otherwise, is a 350FPM elevator acceptable?

The elevator shaft will be modified to accept specified elevator design requirements. This is an item that must be coordinated by the contractor. Adjustment of the shaft dimensions to endure the approved elevator is accommodated shall be at no cost to the government.

In general the Site Superintendent may share other duties in accordance with the FAR / VARR. Please note that the Specifications (Section 01 35 26 – Safety Requirements, Part 1.4-B.4.g.3) the site superintendent can share other duties such as Site Safety and Health Officer/SSHO provided the site supervisor duties are not neglected. Please note that the SSHO must meet the requirements of all applicable OSHA standards. Please review specification section 01 35 26 – Safety Requirements for SSHO requirements.
