RFIs Received with VA Responses in blue text: Construction Budget questions: Is that the Estimated Cost of Construction or the maximum for the A/E Design Fee? Estimated Cost of Construction If the $949,026 is the construction budget, this appears low in today's environment given that over 6,000 SF needs to be renovated. Can the VA please re-evaluate this budget and provide an update? The construction budget that was originally used in the supplement B pre-solicitation notice is incorrect. A revised supplement B is attached, changing the construction cost estimate from $949,026 to $725,873. The Construction budget is set and cannot be changed until the design process is underway.
