Things to watch (11)
- Serious: Only SDVOSBs can bid. The set-aside is limited to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses verified by SBA, so other firms cannot win.
- Serious: Bid bond required with the quote. You need a surety to issue a bid bond before the response due date, or the quote is not complete.
- Serious: Performance and payment bonds due within 10 days of award. Your surety must be ready to issue both bonds within 10 days after award on a job the Government sizes at $1M to $2M.

- Worth checking: Asbestos testing and removal included. Asbestos has been reported in Building 209, and certified inspectors, consultants and an accredited lab are required, so you need qualified subcontractors.
- Worth checking: Limits on subcontracting and a certificate with the quote. As an SDVOSB prime you must follow the subcontracting limits and turn in the completed Veterans Affairs Acquisition Regulation (VAAR) 852.219-75 certificate with the quote.
- Worth checking: No extra pay for after-hours or overtime work. Abatement and some other tasks must be done after hours, and premium-time costs must already be in your quote price.
- Worth checking: Quantities are estimates; you verify them. The square footage and linear footage are not guaranteed, and the contractor is responsible for checking actual conditions and quantities.
- Worth checking: Davis-Bacon wage rule applies. You must pay at least the wages in Davis-Bacon Act Wage Determination CA20260007, which was attached but not read here.
- Minor: The site visit was Oct 23, 2026. Check the notice and its amendments for whether attendance was required, and whether another visit is offered.
- Minor: Site access wording differs. The specifications say bidder visits are by appointment with the Contracting Officer, while the solicitation names one scheduled site visit; ask the contracting officer how to see the buildings otherwise.
- Minor: No staging area on the grounds. You must plan without a staging area unless the contracting officer's representative (COR) approves one, and patient parking is off limits.
