The amendment clarifies that drone cleaning is required for exterior façade/stucco surfaces on Buildings 2, 20, 29, 30, 31, and 32, while windows on Building 2 must be cleaned by hand. For the S45 parking garage, either drone cleaning or conventional pressure washing is acceptable, and the VA will schedule the garage to be closed on a weekend during cleaning to prevent overspray or runoff onto parked vehicles. Additional questions and answers are provided to address cleaning methods and surface identification, but no budget or specific performance location is stated in this amendment.

This amendment adds Buildings

The amendment adds an optional second site visit to the VA Loma Linda Medical System, with the meeting at the Hospital Front Lobby on August 10, 2026 at 9:00 am PST (12:00 pm EST). Interested offerors must register with the contract specialist via email at least 24 hours before the visit, providing firm name, attendee names, contact info, CAGE and UEI numbers, and must bring a government-issued photo ID. Attendance is optional, but offerors who do not attend are responsible for understanding all existing site conditions, and no price adjustments will be made for failure to inspect. Questions related to the site visit must be submitted within two calendar days after the visit, and the government may issue an amendment with answers within two calendar days after that deadline.
