## Description

**61. Updated VA Response States:** Please be advised that no pre-demolition hazardous materials survey has been performed for asbestos, etc. Accordingly, each bidder shall include a reasonable allowance based on construction perimeter or square foot in their bid for all necessary hazardous materials survey, sampling, testing, and abatement services required to complete the work in compliance with applicable codes and regulations.

This allowance shall cover, at a minimum, the costs for engaging qualified environmental consultants conducting field investigations and sampling, laboratory analysis, and performing any required abatement, removal, handling, and proper disposal of identified hazardous/regulated materials encountered within the demolition and construction areas.

**Concentric Questions:** The above response is not acceptable. Not knowing the quantity or any scope of the abatement work, how can the contractor come up with an allowance or price?

**Updated VA Response:** To ensure fairness for all parties, the abatement allowance will be included as an open line item for the awarded contractor. If the agency is unsure about the abatement scope of work, we request that the agency provide a fixed allowance amount for all abatement work in the bid so that all bidding contractors use the same information/allowance amount.

**Updated VA Response:** To ensure fairness for all parties, the abatement allowance will be included as an open line item for the awarded contractor. Providing a fixed allowance amount for all the listed abatement work in the bid will ensure a fair, reasonable, and competitive offer to the government.

**Updated VA Response:** To ensure fairness for all parties, the abatement allowance will be included as an open line item for the awarded contractor.
