The purpose of this modification is to answer industry questions. 2. No other changes to the solicitation are made as a result of this amendment. Please provide the previous prices for this window cleaning bid. Answer: The previous contract VA251-15-C-0253 pricing for interior and exterior window cleaning was $30,000.00 for the base year and $30,000.00 for each of the four option years, which is $150,000.00 total contract value. Has the scope of work under this new solicitation remained the same, decreased or increased in comparison to the current contract? Answer: There is no current contract in place. The last awarded contract expired on 09/30/2020 and there has been no other contract in place for these services since that time. What is the total contract value of all option years, including the base year for the current contract? Answer: There is no current contract in place. The last awarded contract expired on 09/30/2020 and there has been no other contract in place for these services since that time. Who is the current incumbent? Answer: There is no current contract in place. The last awarded contract expired on 09/30/2020 and there has been no other contract in place for these services since that time. In the last attachment updated on May 12 states: The Department (NCO) 10 requires a contractor to provide window cleaning for the VA Ann Arbor Medical Center, located in Ann Arbor, Michigan, for a period of performance of one year with four possible option years. Please reference the attached Statement of Work for specific project information and requirements However, the original RFQ states: The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, Network Contracting Office (NCO) 10 requires a contractor to provide annual generator testing and preventive maintenance for the VA Ann Arbor Medical Center, located in Ann Arbor, Michigan, for a period of performance of one year with four possible option years. Please reference the attached Statement of Work for specific project information and requirements. Can you please clarify. Answer: The combined synopsis page first posted on May 10, 2021, contained an error and was updated on May 12, 2021, to align it with window cleaning which is what the requirement clearly states in the Statement of Work. Where is the Wage Determination - 2015-4833 - Rev. 13 - 12-21-2020 - Washtenaw County, Michigan, referenced in Section D of the Solicitation?

If any please specify the square footage. Answer: Any work performed will be Monday through Friday, as stated in the SOW. The solicitation states in page 7 of 47 A copy of the current year s anchor point inspection shall be given to contractor before work begins. Since only one of the high-rise buildings have anchors installed (The Freedom building) the other building (The Liberty Building) only has strong structures only. Have those structures been certified as point of anchorage? Answer: Certification of the anchor points is part of a roof upgrade project currently underway. We have asked the project manager to schedule the certification at the front end of the project. Do we summit the training certifications with the bid or provide them to the COR after award and prior to beginning of work? Answer: Training certificates should be submitted at time of award. Will the interior and exterior window cleanings be scheduled for the same or different dates? Answer: As there are two separate window cleaning jobs as indicated in the Statement of Work, the cleanings will have to take place two separate times within the term of the award. Each window cleaning job will be completed within 31 consecutive calendar days. Section B-2 Statement of Work states: Hours of work will be Monday through Friday, from 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., excluding federal holidays. Later it states: Contractor shall complete all work within 31 consecutive days. Are the referenced 31 consecutive days business days (M-F) minus any Federal Holiday (as stated earlier in the SOW), or actual calendar days? Answer: Any work performed will be Monday through Friday, as stated in the SOW. No work will be performed on Federal Holidays as stated in the SOW. What measures will the government take if impediments such as construction work, health or safety concerns cause delay or deny access to the work areas? Answer: The Contracting Officer s Representative (COR), delegated once the contract is awarded, would inform or involve the Contracting Officer if and/or when necessary depending on the circumstances that arise, if any.
