NOTICE OF PROPOSAL AMENDMENT SOLICITATION NUMBER: 36C24124Q0184 AMENDMENT NUMBER: 0004 DATE: April 26, 2024 PROJECT NUMBER: 402-24-007 PROJECT TITLE: B200E Lobby Flooring LOCATION: Togus VA Medical Center, Augusta, ME 04330 REASON FOR AMENDMENT: Answer RFI Questions 1 thru 10 ___________________________________________________________________________ AMENDMENT: 0004 is the first amendment to solicitation, but automatically numbered 0004 due to previous amendments to the Sources Sought on SAM.gov. 1. Can you send over the most recent abatement testing report for the most accurate quote from the abatement subcontractors. VA Response There are no reports for abatement testing for building 200E. B200E was built in the 1990s and there should be no asbestos. We did have the slate tested just in case with reports showing no asbestos found. 2. Floor Plan room E10, noticed green slate in there, would you like us to add this to the scope of work? VA Response Yes, all green slate flooring is to be removed. Please add room E10 to scope. 3. Dumpster location for demolition, where is the most appropriate area we may place a 15-yard + dumpster and not disturb the function of the VA. VA Response This will be coordinated with the COR. 4. Phasing, foot traffic is heavy, with this, is there any areas the VA would like us to start/ section off first for demolition? VA Response Start by Emergency Department. 4B. From select demo: Can we have done the abatement and demo of tile done in one sequence or will this require mobilizing for parts of the SOW/ dividing it up? VA Response Per SOW Contractor shall also develop phasing and infection control plans that will allow for functional use of the lobby during construction operations. The VA believes no abatement will be required, only demolition. Per SOW When the contractor s work interferes with facility functions, such as when work produces excessive noise, odors, dust, utility service interruptions, or other interferences with normal operations that cannot be contained within the area of work, the contractor shall schedule said work at other than normal hours and as directed by the COR. This may be required during the demolition phase of this project. 5. Is poured terrazzo an option that fits the scope of work for this job? VA Response Poured terrazzo flooring will not be an acceptable option for this project. 6. Is there a preferred place we can place the furniture that is out so that it is out of the way during the demolition/ installation process? VA Response VA to move Lobby furniture. 6B. Who is responsible for the movement of existing furniture in the way of construction? VA Response VA to move Lobby Furniture. 7. Is black cove base by the stairs where the terrazzo ends and the set of stairs next to the elevator begins acceptable? VA Response This is acceptable. 8. Is the walk off matt staying? VA Response Walk off matt to remain in place. 9. How big would is the border intended to be?/ Is the border going behind the front desk area? VA Response 4'x4' tile in the lobby and down to the pharmacy and emergency department with contrasting tile cut 1' along the border in hallways. If the 4' x 4' tile is too heavy and will require a forklift, we can accept the 2' x 2' tile at all locations. 10. While reading the specs again, the Epoxy tile terrazzo, for clarification purposes, is this intended to be just tile or the concrete pour 4' x 4' terrazzo that can be poured into looking like tile? VA Response epoxy tile terrazzo only, addressed in # 5 as well. The tile we are looking for is a prefabricated tile. Terrazzio - Authentic Large Format Terrazzo Tile There should be no pouring needed. Precast Terrazzo
