Only common/public areas are included in this contract for both site locations.
3. The schedule reflects one line item per location per year. Will payments be issued based on each quarterly service? If so, is there a preferred method or specific line item breakdown you would like offerors to follow for invoicing each service period?
The schedule is listed in the Statement of Work. Invoicing can be submitted on a quarterly basis and should annotate which part of the scheduled washing is being invoiced.

No, the awning is not included.

Everything 6th floor and lower will be blocked and don t need to be included in the quote for the area the tower will be covering.
6. Can the contractor install temporary roof clips for lowering down a platform to wash the windows?
-This would be acceptable as long as the following conditions are observed:
The contractor accepts all risk and liability using the temporary clips. Any injuries, property damage, or death will not be the VA s liability. Contractor expected to follow all OSHA and safety guidelines.
The temporary clips do not damage the roofing.
Any damage that was determined to be caused by the temporary clips installed by the contactor, unto the building, would need to be corrected, at the contractor s expense.
The temporary clips are within pertinent industry standards, and follow all local, state, and federal regulations.
