7230--Window Shades - New Bldg 05 (WTS Campus), IND

The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking quotes for commercial-grade roller shades to address glare and solar gain issues in a building. The building has large concentrations of glass, and the current window coverings are not sufficient to minimize heat transfer and glare. The vendor is expected to recommend solutions to mitigate these issues based on observations during a site visit. The scope of work includes providing roller shades for the first and second floors of the building, with a focus on addressing glare and solar gain. Some key points to consider: • The building has a unique layout with various rooms and corridors, which may require different mounting or products to ensure consistency. • The vendor is expected to account for any structural elements that may impact the standard installation approach. • The VA is open to suggestions and reviews from the vendor, provided that any proposed solutions do not increase costs. • The vendor will have access to PDF plans and As-Built drawings to help with the bid process.
