(See attached) **Question:** Does the VAMC have a mandated timeline by which it needs to obtain an air emissions permit that is, is an older permit expiring? If so, please clarify the timeline, including specifying any due dates for permit application documents to be submitted to Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (MI EGLE). **Answer:** This is an air emissions inventory to determine if any additional permits are required and to update the list of air emissions sources within the facility. The facility s permits are current. **Question:** Task 1 specifically indicates that only one site visit is requested. Task 2 mentions a face-to-face permit strategy meeting with VAMC staff. Please confirm that this permit strategy meeting may occur via videoconference. **Answer:** Onsite activities are required for the evaluation of the air emission sources. The permit strategy meeting can be via videoconference. Question: Given that permit application review and permit issuance by MI EGLE may take several months or more, given that the VA expects work (e.g., development of emissions tracking tools and staff training) to occur after permit issuance, and given that this solicitation is an SDVOSB set-aside, would the VA be amenable to a milestone payment schedule, rather than a single lump sum payment, so that a small business does not have to wait many months to invoice and receive payment for work completed? **Answer:** Yes, invoicing may be done monthly in arrears. **Question:** Does the scope require applying for a permit or only the permitting strategy? Task 2. says It is for the Permitting Strategy but does not state how to apply for the permit. Although the Project Scope introduction states, Complete all documentation to apply for applicable permits, work on the Aleda E.
