GENERAL Contractors, contractor personnel, subcontractors, and subcontractor personnel shall be subject to the same Federal laws, regulations, standards, and VA Directives and Handbooks as VA and VA personnel regarding information and information system security. 2. ACCESS TO VA INFORMATION AND VA INFORMATION SYSTEMS a. A contractor/subcontractor shall request logical (technical) or physical access to VA information and VA information systems for their employees, subcontractors, and affiliates only to the extent necessary to perform the services specified in the contract, agreement, or task order. b. All contractors, subcontractors, and third-party servicers and associates working with VA information are subject to the same investigative requirements as those of VA appointees or employees who have access to the same types of information. The level and process of background security investigations for contractors must be in accordance with VA Directive and Handbook 0710, Personnel Suitability and Security Program. The Office for Operations, Security, and Preparedness is responsible for these policies and procedures. c. Contract personnel who require access to national security programs must have a valid security clearance. National Industrial Security Program (NISP) was established by Executive Order 12829 to ensure that cleared U.S. defense industry contract personnel safeguard the classified information in their possession while performing work on contracts, programs, bids, or research and development efforts. The Department of Veterans Affairs does not have a Memorandum of Agreement with Defense Security Service (DSS). Verification of a Security Clearance must be processed through the Special Security Officer located in the Planning and National Security Service within the Office of Operations, Security, and Preparedness. d. Custom software development and outsourced operations must be located in the U.S. to the maximum extent practical. If such services are proposed to be performed abroad and are not disallowed by other VA policy or mandates, the contractor/subcontractor must state where all non-U.S. services are provided and detail a security plan, deemed to be acceptable by VA, specifically to address mitigation of the resulting problems of communication, control, data protection, and so forth. Location within the U.S. may be an evaluation factor. e.

The Contracting Officer must also be notified immediately by the contractor or subcontractor prior to an unfriendly termination. 3. VA INFORMATION CUSTODIAL LANGUAGE a. Information made available to the contractor or subcontractor by VA for the performance or administration of this contract or information developed by the contractor/subcontractor in performance or administration of the contract shall be used only for those purposes and shall not be used in any other way without the prior written agreement of the VA. This clause expressly limits the contractor/subcontractor's rights to use data as described in Rights in Data - General, FAR 52.227-14(d) (1). b. VA information should not be co-mingled, if possible, with any other data on the contractors/subcontractor s information systems or media storage systems to ensure VA requirements related to data protection and media sanitization can be met. If co-mingling must be allowed to meet the requirements of the business need, the contractor must ensure that VA s information is returned to the VA or destroyed in accordance with VA s sanitization requirements. VA reserves the right to conduct onsite inspections of contractor and subcontractor IT resources to ensure data security controls, separation of data and job duties, and destruction/media sanitization procedures are following VA directive requirements. c. Prior to termination or completion of this contract, contractor/subcontractor must not destroy information received from VA, or gathered/created by the contractor during performing this contract without prior written approval by the VA. Any data destruction done on behalf of VA by a contractor/subcontractor must be done in accordance with National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) requirements as outlined in VA Directive 6300, Records and Information Management and its Handbook 6300.1 Records Management Procedures, applicable VA Records Control Schedules, and VA Handbook 6500.1, Electronic Media Sanitization.

The contractor/subcontractor must receive, gather, store, back up, maintain, use, disclose and dispose of VA information only in compliance with the terms of the contract and applicable Federal and VA information confidentiality and security laws, regulations and policies. If Federal or VA information confidentiality and security laws, regulations and policies become applicable to the VA information or information systems after execution of the contract, or if NIST issues or updates applicable FIPS or Special Publications (SP) after execution of this contract, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith to implement the information confidentiality and security laws, regulations and policies in this contract. e. The contractor/subcontractor shall not make copies of VA information except as authorized and necessary to perform the terms of the agreement or to preserve electronic information stored on contractor/subcontractor electronic storage media for restoration in case any electronic equipment or data used by the contractor/subcontractor needs to be restored to an operating state. If copies are made for restoration purposes, after the restoration is complete, the copies must be appropriately destroyed. f. If VA determines that the contractor has violated any of the information confidentiality, privacy, and security provisions of the contract, it shall be sufficient grounds for VA to withhold payment to the contractor or third party or terminate the contract for default or terminate for cause under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) part 12. g. If a VHA contract is terminated for cause, the associated BAA must also be terminated and appropriate actions taken in accordance with VHA Handbook 1600.01, Business Associate Agreements. Absent an agreement to use or disclose protected health information, there is no business associate relationship. h. The contractor/subcontractor must store, transport, or transmit VA sensitive information in an encrypted form, using VA-approved encryption tools that are, at a minimum, FIPS 140-2 validated. i. The contractor/subcontractor s firewall and Web services security controls, if applicable, shall meet or exceed VA s minimum requirements. VA Configuration Guidelines are available upon request. j. Except for uses and disclosures of VA information authorized by this contract for performance of the contract, the contractor/subcontractor may use and disclose VA information only in two other situations: (i) in response to a qualifying order of a court of competent jurisdiction, or (ii) with VA s prior written approval. The contractor/subcontractor must refer all requests for, demands for production of, or inquiries about, VA information and information systems to the VA contracting officer for response. k.

If the contractor/subcontractor is in receipt of a court order or other requests for the above-mentioned information, that contractor/subcontractor shall immediately refer such court orders or other requests to the VA contracting officer for response. l. For service that involves the storage, generating, transmitting, or exchanging of VA sensitive information but does not require C&A or an MOU-ISA for system interconnection, the contractor/subcontractor must complete a Contractor Security Control Assessment (CSCA) on a yearly basis and provide it to the COTR. GENERAL RULES OF BEHAVIOR a. Rules of Behavior are part of a comprehensive program to provide complete information security. These rules establish standards of behavior in recognition of the fact that knowledgeable users are the foundation of a successful security program. Users must understand that taking personal responsibility for the security of their computer and the information it contains is an essential part of their job. b. The following rules apply to all VA contractors. I agree to: (1) Follow established procedures for requesting, accessing, and closing user accounts and access. I will not request or obtain access beyond what is normally granted to users or by what is outlined in the contract. (2) Use only systems, software, databases, and data which I am authorized to use, including any copyright restrictions. (3) I will not use other equipment (OE) (non-contractor owned) for the storage, transfer, or processing of VA sensitive information without a VA CIO approved waiver, unless it has been reviewed and approved by local management and is included in the language of the contract. If authorized to use OE IT equipment, I must ensure that the system meets all applicable 6500 Handbook requirements for OE. (4) Not use my position of trust and access rights to exploit system controls or access information for any reason other than in the performance of the contract. (5) Not attempt to override or disable security, technical, or management controls unless expressly permitted to do so as an explicit requirement under the contract or at the direction of the COTR or ISO. If I am allowed or required to have a local administrator account on a government-owned computer, that local administrative account does not confer me unrestricted access or use, nor the authority to bypass security or other controls except as expressly permitted by the VA CIO or CIO's designee. (6) Contractors use of systems, information, or sites is strictly limited to fulfill the terms of the contract. I understand no personal use is authorized. I will only use other Federal government information systems as expressly authorized by the terms of those systems. I accept that the restrictions under ethics regulations and criminal law still apply. (7) Grant access to systems and information only to those who have an official need to know. (8) Protect passwords from access by other individuals. (9) Create and change passwords in accordance with VA Handbook 6500 on systems and any devices protecting VA information as well as the rules of behavior and security settings for the particular system in question. (10) Protect information and systems from unauthorized disclosure, use, modification, or destruction. I will only use encryption that is FIPS 140-2 validated to safeguard VA sensitive information, both safeguarding VA sensitive information in storage and in transit regarding my access to and use of any information assets or resources associated with my performance of services under the contract terms with the VA. (11) Follow VA Handbook 6500.1, Electronic Media Sanitization to protect VA information. I will contact the COTR for policies and guidance on complying with this requirement and will follow the COTR's orders. (12) Ensure that the COTR has previously approved VA information for public dissemination, including e-mail communications outside of the VA as appropriate. I will not make any unauthorized disclosure of any VA sensitive information through the use of any means of communication including but not limited to e-mail, instant messaging, online chat, and web bulletin boards or logs. (13) Not host, set up, administer, or run an Internet server related to my access to and use of any information assets or resources associated with my performance of services under the contract terms with the VA unless explicitly authorized under the contract or in writing by the COTR.

I will not take VA sensitive information from the workplace without authorization from the COTR. (15) Only use anti-virus software, antispyware, and firewall/intrusion detection software authorized by VA. I will contact the COTR for policies and guidance on complying with this requirement and will follow the COTR's orders regarding my access to and use of any information assets or resources associated with my performance of services under the contract terms with VA. (16) Not disable or degrade the standard anti-virus software, antispyware, and/or firewall/intrusion detection software on the computer I use to access and use information assets or resources associated with my performance of services under the contract terms with VA.

Page 3 of 3 CONTINUATION PAGE Amendment 0002 extends the date for receipt of offers to allow time for the Government to respond to pending RFI questions. The Hour and Date for the receipt of offers is extended to February 13, 2026, 2:00 PM (CST). All other terms and conditions remain unchanged and in full effect. Request for Information (RFI) Questions Keynote 5 is assigned to every corridor and renovation area on this sheet. This appears to be an error since the note is specific to a wall area. Please confirm keynote 5 is not applicable to every wall as assigned on sheet 24-AE102 and is only assigned to one wall in corridor A1-C02 across from staff 1A-113. Answer: Keynote 5 is assigned to one (1) wall in corridor A1-C02 across from staff 1A-113. The keynote refers to decorative acoustical panels (30 x6 ) and refers to detail 6/AF109, however this detail is for the art wall covering (WT-2) in A1-115. If we are using elevation 6/AF109 as a reference, can the Government advise how many 30 x6 panels will be required in corridor A1-C02? Answer: Keynote 5 refers to the finish plans and finish schedule for more information, however we were unable to find any information on the plans and specs regarding the basis of design or specification requirements for the decorative panels. Can the Government provide more information regarding these decorative acoustical wall panels? Answer: Hospital-Grade Receptacles: The solicitation references replacement of hospital-grade receptacles. Could you please clarify the specific receptacle configurations required (e.g., standard hospital grade, isolated ground, tamper-resistant, emergency power, color designation, etc.) for each location? Answer: Identification of Receptacles to Be Replaced: The drawings provided do not clearly indicate which receptacles are included in the replacement scope. Additionally, the symbols shown do not appear to reference a device schedule or electrical legend. Could the Government please identify which receptacles are to be replaced or provide a device schedule/legend indicating device types? Answer: Added Switch Devices Area A Level 1: We note that additional switches appear to be included in the scope, specifically in Area A, Level 1, including the dining area and cactus room. The drawings provided do not clearly show these added switch devices. Could the Government confirm the locations and quantities of these switches? Answer: In response to Amendment 001, RFI #22: The answer given seems contradictory or unclear. It says that window shade replacement is only required in Room 1A-133, but then also states demolish and replace existing windowsill and shade , seemingly in reference to the patient rooms. Please clarify, is the demolish and replacement of the window shades only required in Room 1A-133, and Not in any patient rooms as indicated on the original drawing set? Answer: If so, does this RFI also remove the demo and replacement of the sills in each of the patient rooms other than Room 1A-133 from the contractor s scope of work? Answer: Because there are so many window sills and shades shown for demo and replacement on the drawing set, this is a large cost item, and could result in a large swing in cost if interpreted incorrectly. Based on the response to RFI #26, detailing a 210-day construction schedule, the official POP of 180 days seems to require an extension. This is implied in the RFI response, but the 180-day POP remains, and there is no indication of any additional time allowed for preconstruction and closeout. Based on the phasing schedule of 210 days, please confirm POP is extended to at least 270-300 days, allowing additional time between NTP and final approval for non-construction work. Answer: The question was asked about identifying how many sinks, toilets, and water fountains are required to be installed or provided by the contractor. The answer clarified that the contractor is responsible for installing toilets and sinks, and providing water fountains, but the quantities of each are not specified. The drawings are not clear as to how many of these we are to provide. Based on the RFI answer in AMD 001, it seems as though the contractor is only responsible for providing 2 water fountains and installing 2 sinks and 2 toilets, Please confirm if this correct or provide a means of quantifying each? Answer: The door schedule indicates all doorways are to receive new doors and frames, however the demo plans indicate existing frames are to remain. Please clarify whether all door frames are to be removed and replaced, or doors only? Answer: With such a large number of doors on this project, this is a significant cost item that remains up for interpretation. No fire rating is indicated for any new doors / frames. Please confirm none of the new doors and frames are to be fire rated? Answer: RFI response #102 directs the contactor to include 10% attic stock, but does not specify what materials are being referred to. Is this in reference to flooring materials, ceiling materials, both, or something else? Answer: RFI Response to #59 and #75 This applies to painted artwork ceiling tiles . It is unclear what is meant by this. Is the contractor to preserve existing ACT ceiling, responsible for replacing only ceiling tiles if damaged during construction? Answer: Or are there any areas where removal and replacement of existing ceiling tile is required as part of the contract? Answer: RFI #82 response states the contractor is to provide the artwork wall coverings, as these are noted as new in the drawings. RFI #119 states that the decorative wall coverings are to be removed from the scope of the project, implying the contractor is not responsible for providing these. Is artwork wall coverings referring to the same items as decorative wall coverings ? Answer: If so, please clarify whether the contractor is to provide these or not, as the two previous responses contradict one another. Answer: If available, please provide: The most recent asbestos survey/report (including date performed and firm conducting the survey). Answer: Any identified ACM locations/material types and quantities. Answer: Any abatement documents (completed abatement reports, air clearance results, manifests), if applicable Answer: Any restrictions/requirements for demolition, ceiling access, or MEP work in affected Areas. Answer: If a survey has not been performed, please advise how you would like to proceed (e.g., owner-provided survey prior to demolition, or authorization for ASB to coordinate testing through a licensed consultant). Answer: 20. I am unable to find the facility s ICRA permit that would specify the containment class/performance of the modular assemblies in the construction documents. Please let me know if I m overlooking it or provide the proper class of ICRA assemblies I should factor into the project. Answer //End//
