Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides responses to contractor questions regarding the EHRM Infrastructure Upgrades Construct project in Beckley, WV (Solicitation # 36C77626R0006).

• Contract Type: The contract will remain a firm-fixed-price contract, not a fixed-price contract with economic price adjustment.
• Price Hold Period: The standard Government price-hold period of 90 calendar days will not be altered.
• Stored Materials Payment: Payment for materials stored on-site or at an approved off-site location is at the Contracting Officer's discretion and will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
• Design Team Involvement: Members of the design team are precluded from participating as Prime contractor, Mentor-Protégé partner, or subcontractor.
• Set-Aside: The project is a 100% set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs). The prime contractor must be certified as such in the SBA VetCert database.
• Sales Tax: The solicitation addresses Federal, State, and Local Taxes; offerors are responsible for including all applicable sales or use taxes in their bid or proposal price.
• PIV Badges: All personnel working within VA facilities or requiring access to VA information systems need a VA PIV Card. The process for obtaining these will begin immediately after bonds are provided.
• Specifications: Specific specification sections for FEC Equipment, Wire Mesh Partitions, and Toilet Accessories are referenced in Amendment 0004, Addendum 1.
• Access Control System (PACS) & Video Surveillance (VASSS): Details regarding existing system hardware, software versions, licensing, database integration, and reuse of existing equipment are deferred to the VA or are outside the scope of this project. The project scope is primarily adding dual authentication card readers to new Telecom Rooms.
• Firestopping: All firestopping must be installed by an FM Global approved contractor or a UL qualified firestop contractor. Installers accredited by a product manufacturer will not be approved unless they meet these qualifications.
• Site Conditions: A widespread current site conditions report is not applicable; bidders should assess the scope from contract drawings and VA specifications.
• Due Date Extension: The proposal due date has been extended to March 31, 2026, 2:00 PM EDT.
• Escorts: VA OIT escorts will be provided in all TRs and TEs. Two escorts are required if working in two separate TRs/TEs simultaneously. Escorts in new TRs are not required until VA network is live, but are required for work in Existing MCR.
• Fiber Optic Cabling: OS1 single-mode fiber is intended for interior pathways, and OS2 for exterior/underground pathways. A substitution request for OS2 interior runs may be submitted.
• Fire Extinguisher Cabinets: New fire extinguisher cabinets are to be provided as indicated in the plans.
• Additional Cabling Allowance: A 10% allowance for additional Category 6A cabling not shown on the drawings is required.

These clarifications address numerous technical, administrative, and contractual questions, impacting how bidders should prepare their proposals, understand project scope, and factor costs. Key impacts include confirmation of contract type, set-aside status, payment terms for stored materials, and specific requirements for systems integration and cabling.
