{"description":"Page 3 of 3\nCONTINUATION PAGE\nAmendment 0002 extends the date for receipt of offers to allow time for the Government to respond to pending RFI questions. The Hour and Date for the receipt of offers is extended to February 13, 2026, 2:00 PM (CST).\n All other terms and conditions remain unchanged and in full effect.\nRequest for Information (RFI) Questions\nKeynote 5 is assigned to every corridor and renovation area on this sheet. This appears to be an error since the note is specific to a wall area. Please confirm keynote 5 is not applicable to every wall as assigned on sheet 24-AE102 and is only assigned to one wall in corridor A1-C02 across from staff 1A-113. \nAnswer:\nKeynote 5 is assigned to one (1) wall in corridor A1-C02 across from staff 1A-113. The keynote refers to decorative acoustical panels (30 x6 ) and refers to detail 6/AF109, however this detail is for the art wall covering (WT-2) in A1-115. If we are using elevation 6/AF109 as a reference, can the Government advise how many 30 x6 panels will be required in corridor A1-C02?\nAnswer:\nKeynote 5 refers to the finish plans and finish schedule for more information, however we were unable to find any information on the plans and specs regarding the basis of design or specification requirements for the decorative panels. Can the Government provide more information regarding these decorative acoustical wall panels? \nAnswer:\nHospital-Grade Receptacles:\nThe solicitation references replacement of hospital-grade receptacles. Could you please clarify the specific receptacle configurations required (e.g., standard hospital grade, isolated ground, tamper-resistant, emergency power, color designation, etc.) for each location?\n\nAnswer:\n\nIdentification of Receptacles to Be Replaced:\nThe drawings provided do not clearly indicate which receptacles are included in the replacement scope. Additionally, the symbols shown do not appear to reference a device schedule or electrical legend. Could the Government please identify which receptacles are to be replaced or provide a device schedule/legend indicating device types?\n\nAnswer:\n\nAdded Switch Devices Area A Level 1:\nWe note that additional switches appear to be included in the scope, specifically in Area A, Level 1, including the dining area and cactus room. The drawings provided do not clearly show these added switch devices. Could the Government confirm the locations and quantities of these switches?\n Answer:\nIn response to Amendment 001, RFI #22: The answer given seems contradictory or unclear. It says that window shade replacement is only required in Room 1A-133, but then also states demolish and replace existing windowsill and shade , seemingly in reference to the patient rooms. \n\nPlease clarify, is the demolish and replacement of the window shades only required in Room 1A-133, and Not in any patient rooms as indicated on the original drawing set?\n\nAnswer:\n\nIf so, does this RFI also remove the demo and replacement of the sills in each of the patient rooms other than Room 1A-133 from the contractor s scope of work? \n\nAnswer:\n\nBecause there are so many window sills and shades shown for demo and replacement on the drawing set, this is a large cost item, and could result in a large swing in cost if interpreted incorrectly. \n\nBased on the response to RFI #26, detailing a 210-day construction schedule, the official POP of 180 days seems to require an extension. This is implied in the RFI response, but the 180-day POP remains, and there is no indication of any additional time allowed for preconstruction and closeout. \n\nBased on the phasing schedule of 210 days, please confirm POP is extended to at least 270-300 days, allowing additional time between NTP and final approval for non-construction work. \n\n Answer:\n\nThe question was asked about identifying how many sinks, toilets, and water fountains are required to be installed or provided by the contractor. The answer clarified that the contractor is responsible for installing toilets and sinks, and providing water fountains, but the quantities of each are not specified. The drawings are not clear as to how many of these we are to provide. \n\nBased on the RFI answer in AMD 001, it seems as though the contractor is only responsible for providing 2 water fountains and installing 2 sinks and 2 toilets, Please confirm if this correct or provide a means of quantifying each? \n \n Answer:\n\nThe door schedule indicates all doorways are to receive new doors and frames, however the demo plans indicate existing frames are to remain. \n\nPlease clarify whether all door frames are to be removed and replaced, or doors only?\n\n Answer:\n \n With such a large number of doors on this project, this is a significant cost item that remains \n up for interpretation. \n\nNo fire rating is indicated for any new doors / frames. Please confirm none of the new doors and frames are to be fire rated? \n\n Answer:\n\nRFI response #102 directs the contactor to include 10% attic stock, but does not specify what materials are being referred to. Is this in reference to flooring materials, ceiling materials, both, or something else? \n\n Answer:\n\nRFI Response to #59 and #75 This applies to painted artwork ceiling tiles . It is unclear what is meant by this. \n\nIs the contractor to preserve existing ACT ceiling, responsible for replacing only ceiling tiles if damaged during construction? \n\nAnswer:\n\nOr are there any areas where removal and replacement of existing ceiling tile is required as part of the contract? \n\n Answer:\n\nRFI #82 response states the contractor is to provide the artwork wall coverings, as these are noted as new in the drawings. RFI #119 states that the decorative wall coverings are to be removed from the scope of the project, implying the contractor is not responsible for providing these. \n\nIs artwork wall coverings referring to the same items as decorative wall coverings ? \n\nAnswer:\n\nIf so, please clarify whether the contractor is to provide these or not, as the two previous responses contradict one another. \n\nAnswer:\n\nIf available, please provide:\n\nThe most recent asbestos survey/report (including date performed and firm conducting the survey).\n\nAnswer:\n\n Any identified ACM locations/material types and quantities.\n\n Answer:\n\n Any abatement documents (completed abatement reports, air clearance results, \n manifests), if applicable\n\n Answer:\n\n Any restrictions/requirements for demolition, ceiling access, or MEP work in affected \n Areas.\n\n Answer:\n\n If a survey has not been performed, please advise how you would like to proceed \n (e.g., owner-provided survey prior to demolition, or authorization for ASB to coordinate \n testing through a licensed consultant).\n\n Answer:\n\n20. I am unable to find the facility s ICRA permit that would specify the containment \n class/performance of the modular assemblies in the construction documents. Please \n let me know if I m overlooking it or provide the proper class of ICRA assemblies I \n should factor into the project.\n\n Answer\n //End//\n"} Solicitation Number: 36C25726R0043 Type: Solicitation Base Type: Solicitation NAICS: 236220 Classification Code: Z2DA Response Deadline: 2026-02-13T14:00:00-06:00 Office Address: San Antonio, TX POC: Cassandra S King, Cassandra.King@va.gov {"description":"Page 3 of 3\nCONTINUATION PAGE\nAmendment 0002 extends the date for receipt of offers to allow time for the Government to respond to pending RFI questions.
