All work under this contract is to be completed following all federal regulations and VA requirements for construction projects. This is to include site superintendent 30HR OSHA certifications, 10HR certification for all sub-contractors and the adherence to all local and federal building codes. Can you please elaborate on the statement that installation of all materials shall be done by a certified installer only. Does this mean the installers need to be certified to install the doors and windows by the manufacturer of such items? Do the painters need to be certified by the paint manufacture to apply the paint to the structure? This requirement seems excessive and takes away the ability for a general contractor to provide these services. Answer 25: Installers are to be certified as called out in the specifications.
