What the notice says
The purpose of this amendment 0003 is to extend the response due date and provide additional Questions and Answers. Submission of your final response shall be received electronically not later than 2:30 PST on 08/25/2026 at Stephanie.Naron@va.gov. Subject line should include �RESPONSE TO RFQ 36C26226Q1150.� QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (16 and 17) 16. Amendment 0002 adds the S45 parking garage to the scope and states that the drone shall be used on stucco, but it does not identify the required cleaning method for the parking garage itself. Can you please confirm one of the following: S45 is required … (show all)
to be cleaned by drone, or S45 may be cleaned using conventional pressure-washing equipment and/or a boom lift, as appropriate for the surface and access. Answer: S45 can be done with Drone or pressure washing. If drone cleaning is required for S45, please also confirm whether the VA will provide a vehicle-clearance/closure period during cleaning to prevent overspray and dirty-water runoff onto parked vehicles. Answer: VA will schedule the parking garage to be closed during cleaning on a weekend. 17. The amendment states that the drone shall be used on the stucco and that the windows shall be cleaned by hand. However, we do not see a building-by-building identification of which exterior fa�ade areas are stucco or which surfaces the VA specifically expects to be cleaned by drone. Could you please clarify, for each of the following locations, which exterior fa�ade/stucco surfaces are included in the drone-cleaning requirement: Answer: Building 2 drone shall be used on exterior fa�ade/stucco and that the windows shall be cleaned by hand Building 20 exterior fa�ade/stucco surfaces Building 29 exterior fa�ade/stucco surfaces Building 30 exterior fa�ade/stucco surfaces Building 31 exterior fa�ade/stucco surfaces Building 32 exterior fa�ade/stucco surfaces S45 Parking Garage exterior fa�ade/stucco surfaces For S45 specifically, could you also confirm: Answer: VA will schedule the parking garage to be closed during cleaning on a weekend. What exterior surfaces of the parking garage are included in the cleaning scope; Whether any of those surfaces are stucco; Whether the VA specifically requires drone cleaning for S45; and If drone cleaning is required, whether the VA can provide a closure or vehicle-clearance period to prevent overspray and dirty-water runoff onto parked vehicles. Our team believes the parking garage may be better suited to a boom lift and conventional pressure-washing equipment depending on the surface material and access, so we want to make sure we are pricing the method the VA actually intends. Answer: S45 can be done with Drone or pressure washing.
