Description

Modification 2 to Presolicitation Notice 36C25527R0013 This modification provides answers to RFIs received and revised the evaluation criteria to be used for this project. RFIs Received for Project # 657A5-24-108, Replace Medium Voltage Feeder 3 and Transformers 1. Factor 4 Past Performance / Section F Project Eligibility The solicitation states that projects submitted for past performance consideration must have completed both design and construction, and that projects not constructed will not be considered.

Would the VA consider accepting relevant electrical infrastructure studies or assessments in Section F, particularly those involving medium-voltage distribution systems and feeder evaluations, that demonstrate directly applicable technical expertise but did not result in construction? We prefer to keep it as projects that were designed AND constructed. Since this is a construction project and not a study, we want projects that have been finished to be used for past performance criteria.

2. Factor 2 Specialized Experience and Technical Competence / Laboratory Requirements Factor 2 references the firm's technical capabilities in design quality management procedures, CADD/BIM, equipment resources, and laboratory requirements. Given that the project scope primarily involves medium-voltage electrical feeder and transformer replacements, could the VA clarify the applicability of laboratory requirements to this project?

We respectfully request that this criterion be removed from the evaluation requirements, as it does not appear directly relevant to the stated scope of work. Laboratory requirements were deleted. Please see revised evaluation criteria below.

3. Request for Submission Deadline Extension Given the technical scope of the project and the level of detail required to address the evaluation criteria, we respectfully request a one-week extension of the SF330 submission deadline, from November 10, 2026, to November 17, 2026. This additional time would allow interested firms to prepare comprehensive qualifications packages that fully address the solicitation requirements.

SF330 submission due date extended from 11/10/2026 to 11/172026. End of RFIs.
