Exterior Canopy and Window Washing

The solicitation references a Price Cost Schedule Template and Past Performance Template. We were unable to locate these

attachments in the online posting. Can the Government please provide these templates or confirm whether offerors should just submit

pricing using the CLIN structure shown in the solicitation? Use the CLIN structure provided in the solicitation Can the Government confirm the approximate material composition of the main entrance canopy, including whether the panels are glass, polycarbonate/acrylic, metal, or another material? Polycarbonate Can the Government provide approximate dimensions or square footage for the main entrance canopy, including the top and bottom surfaces? Approx. 3,400 sqft on top and 3,400 sqft on bottom. Does the Government have an estimated exterior window count, glazing square footage, or building elevation drawings available for this requirement? Approx. 550 windows For access planning, are boom lifts permitted on site where required, subject to COR coordination and VA safety

requirements? Lift equipment is permitted and should be coordinated with the COR. Planning for work that may block patient areas will be planned and coordinated with the COR. Are there any restricted staging areas, sidewalk/drive lane limitations, patient drop-off restrictions, or after-hours

requirements that should be assumed for work around the main entrance canopy? The VA cannot provide dedicated staging space. Any activities that fully block the main entrance should be planned for after hours work and coordinated with the COR. The same is true for work that blocks off any roadways, entrances, or emergency department driveway / parking spaces. If coordinated and approved by the COR, may the contractor include cleaning of the hardscape/patient entry area immediately beneath and adjacent to the canopy as part of the work plan to restore the entrance area after canopy cleaning? Yes, but add this as an optional add-on for your estimate so that the VA can decide whether it can be added or not. Finally, is there an incumbent? What is the current contract & rate? No Have the windows been treated or cleaned regularly in the past? If so, when was the last cleaning performed? No Does the building have certified roof anchors or low-test steel on the roof for rigging, if needed? No Will 10-foot perimeters be allowed around our work areas throughout the project? Yes 12. Could you please clarify whether the Exterior Window Cleaning scope includes all exterior glass throughout the entire Ralph H.
