Description

VA786-15-R-0293 Calverton National Cemetery - Admin Building Renovation RE: Question and Answers and Additional Specs 1.My question is for consideration on sequencing and pricing if the work could be done on nights and weekends to lessen the interaction between the staff and the workers. Answer: No, work needs to be done on regular working hours, unless an urgent matter justify it. We will not have contractors on site without cemetery personnel overseeing or outside of regular hours. 2.Please advise if this project is union or non-union. Answer: Any certified Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business can submit a proposal. It has nothing to do with the union. 3.What Key Personnel is required for this proposal? PM and Superintendent? Any others? Answer: It is your decision and responsibly to suggest which key personnel is required. 4.Do you want a full QC Plan to be submitted within the Performance Plan? If so, 20 pages will not be enough with the Performance Plan in there for all of Volume I. Answer: A short version of the quality control plan should suffice. According to 5.2 in the SOW a full plan shall be submitted prior to the start of work. 5.On page 38, it states "Offerors shall also provide a copy of their insurance with bid proposal, or before an award." Do you want a copy of our Certificate of Insurance? What section should this be part of? Volume III Price or Volume IV SF1442? Answer: Yes, a copy of the certificate of insurance. You can add it to Volume IV as stated on the table on page 38 of the solicitation. 6.RFI plans and specifications do not indicate removing and replacing ceiling tile, during walk through random personal expressed concern with not replacing existing. Will this be part of the scope? Answer: No, ceiling tiles are not part of the project. 7.Will there be additional plans / plans with details of the office remodel coming forth? Answer: No 8.Without the furniture plan in the bid documents would you provide the items and quantities of furniture to be disposed of and to be removed and reinstalled? Answer: No, this has not been determined from another contract yet. The site visit should have given some indication of what will be disposed. 9.Would you provide the items and quantities of new GSA Contractor provided furniture and their electrical and data requirements? Answer: No, same as answer 8. 10.Will there be use of a power pole? Answer: Contractor's responsibility if needed and within distance. 11.Is there a drop ceiling to run data back to the server within? Answer: To be answered by your site visit / inspection at Calverton National Cemetery. 12.What room is the server located in? Answer: To be answered by your site visit / inspection at Calverton National Cemetery. 13.Where is the location for the new floor conduit for the new reception desk? Is the subfloor concrete or wood and what kind of access if any is underneath? Answer: To be answered by your site visit / inspection at Calverton National Cemetery. 14.Under Scope of Work 3.0. For section 3.1 would you associate the listed names with their offices as labeled on the provided drawings as to reference the four phases the job is broken up into? Answer: Yes 15.This project is a combination of four separate distinct phases which need 100 % completion including all data and power testing before work can commence on another phase. The Notice To Proceed requires work to be completed within 60 calendar days. Is that 60 calendar days for each distinct phase for a total of 240 calendar days, or 60 calendar days to complete all four distinct phases 100%? Answer: 60 calendar days for whole project. 16.For floor covering, wall base, and wall covering, is there any brand, color, or pattern to consider along with the technical specifications provided in the bid documents? Answer: No 17.Will the new type 2 medium duty vinyl coated fabric wall covering be 54" goods? Answer: Yes 18.Will this be a fabric wall covering, a fabric look vinyl, or vinyl backed fabric?
