The notice was published by the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 and involves project identification number 657A4-22-309. The amendment specifically clarifies Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) 0002 - Deductive Alternate No. 1, which modifies the project scope by changing the approach for existing water and fire mains from demolition and removal to abandonment in place.
