Description
Modification 2 to Presolicitation Notice 36C25527R0007, P/N 657-27-209JB, Project Title: Renovate Building 1 and 53 Main Lobbies. This modification provides answers to RFIs received, revised evaluation criteria and revised supplement B per below RFIs. The SF330 submission due date is extended from November 10, 2026 to November 16, 2026. RFIs Received with VA Responses in blue text: Construction Budget questions: Is that the Estimated Cost of Construction or the maximum for the A/E Design Fee? Estimated Cost of Construction If the $949,026 is the construction budget, this appears low in today's environment given that over 6,000 SF needs to be renovated. Can the VA please re-evaluate this budget and provide an update? The construction budget that was originally used in the supplement B pre-solicitation notice is incorrect. A revised supplement B is attached, changing the construction cost estimate from $949,026 to $725,873. The Construction budget is set and cannot be changed until the design process is underway. Key Personnel questions: The Presolicitation Notice lists: Supervisory, Fire Protection Engineer, Certified Professional Industrial Hygienist, and Life Safety Engineer. The Statement of Work and Supplement B list: Communications (voice/data), Interior Design, VPIH, Plumbing (including fire protection), and a 3rd Party Fire Protection Review. Questions: Which positions require resumes in Section E? What is the intended role of "Supervisory"? Per the SOW & Supplement B the following positions require resumes: Project Manager, Architectural, Mechanical, Electrical, Communication (voice data) Plumbing (Including Fire Protection), Structural, Interior Design, VPIH, Cost Estimator and a 3rd Party Fire Protection Review. Project manager is Supervisory Industrial Hygienist/Asbeston Project Designer: Question: Is an ABIH Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) acceptable for this position, and does a CIH satisfy the requirement for the VPIH and the state-accredited Asbestos Project Designer? If these must be separate individuals, should both be identified in the SF330? A CIH satisfies the requirement for the VPIH and the state-accredited Asbestos Project Designer. They can be the same individual. Site Visit: Supplement B, page 6, Section III.6.g: the A/E "shall meet with the COR at the proposed project site" prior to submitting a response Presolicitation Notice, page 4: "Personal visits to discuss this announcement will not be allowed" and only "the most highly rated firm must physically come to the site" before pricing Question: Please confirm that no site visit is required before the SF330 submission. No site visit is required prior to SF330 submission. Laboratory and Special Room Rquirements: Presolicitation Notice, page 7, Evaluation Criteria 2, Specialized Experience and Technical Competence: "laboratory requirements for the firm" Supplement B, page 18, Section B6.II.1: "floor plans of special rooms such as the endoscopy suite, recovery room, etc." Questions: Neither a laboratory nor an endoscopy suite or recovery room appears in the project scope. Do any of these requirements apply to this project? These requirements do not apply to this project. Can the VA please release updated and corrected documents? The evaluation criteria 2 will be changed to remove laboratory requirements for the firm and the COR will revise Supplement B to remove the endoscopy suite and recovery room from the Supplement B.
