SOLICITATION FOR OFFERS
OUTPATIENT CLINIC
SFO NO. V101-183R-xxx-xxx-xx
[INSERT LOCATION OF FACILITY]
SECTION 3: MISCELLANEOUS
3.1 SUBSTITUTIONS FOR SPECIFIC BRAND NAMES:
When specific equipment is cited using the brand name, model number, etc., a comparable or equal
product may be provided in lieu of cited equipment in accordance with the Brand Name clause provided in
Schedule B of the Solicitation. Any substitutions need to be approved by the Contracting Officer or his/her
designee.
3.2 UNIT COSTS FOR ADJUSTMENTS:
Schedule C of this Solicitation indicates various types of materials anticipated for floors, walls, and
ceilings. Additionally, several paragraphs in this Solicitation specify means for determining quantities of
materials not specified in Schedule C. Government projections of these various materials have been
made to assist the Offeror in cost estimating and have been included on Exhibit A of Schedule B-1. Actual
quantities may not be determined until after the lease is awarded and the space layout completed. To
enable an equitable settlement if the final Government layout departs from the projection, the quantities
specified on Exhibit A of Schedule B-1 are to be included in the per square foot rate being proposed. A
unit cost for each of these materials is required. VA will use each unit cost to make a lump sum payment
at time of acceptance of the building or to negotiate a rental increase if the amount of material required by
the layout is more than specified. If the amount of material is less than specified, VA will take credit from
the initial rental payment.
3.3 UNIT PRICES FOR ALTERATIONS OF 0,000 OR LESS:
The Offeror is required to submit a list of "Unit Prices for Alterations" for any alterations required during the
first year. This list will be used, after acceptance by VA, for contracts for alterations costing 0,000 or
less. These prices may be indexed or re-negotiated to apply to subsequent years of the lease upon
mutual agreement of the Lessor and Government. (Use Exhibit B of Schedule B-1 for this purpose.)
Where unit prices for alterations are not available, the Lessor may be requested to provide a price
proposal for the alterations. Orders will be placed by issuance of a GSA Form 276, Supplemental Lease
Agreement. The clauses entitled "GSAR 552.232-75, Prompt Payment (SEP 1999)", "GSAR 552.232-70,
Invoice Requirements (Variation) (SEP 1999)" and "GSAR 552.232-76, Electronic Funds Transfer
Payment (SEP 1999) (Variation)" apply to orders for alterations (See GSA Form 35l7B). All orders are
subject to the terms and conditions of the lease.
Orders may be placed by the Contracting Officer or other authorized representatives when specifically
authorized to do so by the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer will provide the Lessor with a list of
agency officials authorized to place orders and will specify any limitations on the authority delegated to
agency officials. The agency officials are not authorized to deal with the Lessor on any other matters.
3.4 SPECIAL WORK (INSTALLATIONS AND ALTERATIONS):
The Government may require special installations in the space, such as computer rooms, vaults, first aid
room, print shop, and small laboratories containing special air conditioning and heating controls, flooring
and various electrical, plumbing, and mechanical facilities, and equipment not otherwise specified in this
Solicitation. The Government reserves the right to contract separately for such facilities, equipment and/or
installations; or it may require the Offeror to perform such work. In the event the Government requires the
Offeror to complete such installations, the Offeror will be required to submit a cost estimate to the
Contracting Officer within 30 days after receipt of complete specifications for the special installation.
