This amendment responds to vendor questions about the renovation of Rooms A214–A217 for a new MRI at the Albany VA Medical Center. The 50-page submission limit applies only to Part 1 of the SF330; Part 2 and supporting documents are exempt. Firms located more than 400 miles from the Stratton VA Medical Center in Albany, New York may still be considered, as that factor carries little evaluation weight. The requested extension of the due date was denied, and all other requirements remain unchanged.
