The purpose of the is amendment is to clarify questions submitted by interested parties. There were 3 questions in reference to this Contract Opportunities announcement, please see below for both questions and answers: Question 1: We wanted to confirm with you we see no mention in the RLP documents for the following items. Please confirm these are not required. Answer: a. Emergency generator- Yes, we will need an emergency generator. b. Loading Dock- No loading dock, Largest delivery is by Pick-up truck. So we need a entrance for delivery but no dock. c. Ambulance pickup Either we would need a porte-cochere front entrance that the ambulance could pull under while picking up a patient. Or another covered entrance for the ambulance to pull under. Either would be acceptable. d. MRI No MRI just Xray Question 2: We see in the RLP that 1/3 of the parking spaces have to be HC, which is 25 spaces out of 75 total. This is an unusually high amount. I point this out because non-HC visitors and staff may have a difficult time finding one of the 50 non-HC parking spots in the Palestine lot, at the same time that all the 25 HC spots may not be used. Answer: Government requires 10 handicapped spaces. The government requires 3 dedicated parking spaces for government vehicles. Question 3: Bid package will not be received favorably, without an exclusive contract being approved. (Versus multiple non-exclusive to allow the successful bidder to complete the purchase.) Can you provide any insight on this for me, please? Answer: All technically acceptable offers will be evaluated.

Contract Opportunities announcement for RLP number 36C25721R00781 is hereby amended to read: The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) shall acquire a New Replacing Lease action for The purpose of the is Presolicitation is to clarify questions submitted by interested parties. There were 3 questions in reference to this Contract Opportunities announcement, please see below for both questions and answers: Question 1: Do you have an EXISTING CBOC in place that already meets your needs for which you will likely EXTEND the current lease? Or, is this OPP genuinely open for an opportunity to provide NEW space? Answer: This is a genuinely open opportunity to provide a new space. This is not for a succeeding lease, please see above. This will be further defined in the RLP Question 2: We are in receipt of the recently posted Sources Sought. Previously we submitted two sites for consideration under a previous solicitation. Do we need to re-submit or will this suffice as our expression of interest? Answer: This is a Contract Opportunities announcement for an RLP not a Sources Sought. You will have to respond In Accordance With (IAW) the RLP. Question 3: We were interested in proposing on the Palestine, TX CBOC solicitation you have posted to SAM.gov. I was confused by the attached document you have posted because it says it is a Request for Lease Proposal but does not have any of the typical RLP documents that accompany an RLP. Is this an RLP, or should it be a Sources Sought? The attached document looks more like a Sources Sought. If this is an RLP, when will you be releasing all of the documents that typically accompany an RLP: concept floor plan, 1364, 1217, ASR, lease, janitorial standards, etc. Answer: This will be further defined in the RLP. There was error with an internal VA system, delaying the release of the full RLP. The full RLP has been posted to SAM.GOV. Question 4: if the VA plans to stay at their current incumbent location? In the advertisement it refers to the lease as a succeeding lease so we just wanted to make sure that the intent was to not just stay at the same spot. Answer: VA is need of a New Replacing lease. This will be further defined in the RLP. Please see above.
