    The document is an amendment of solicitation issued by the National Cemetery Administration (NCA) under the Department of Veterans Affairs, concerning contract number 36C78624Q50402. It serves to modify the initial solicitation to address several inquiries from bidders regarding job details, such as tax exemptions, prevailing wages, contract duration, and project budget limitations. Notably, the amendment states that the project is not tax-exempt, includes both Federal and local taxes, and references wage determinations for the Service Contract Act and Davis-Bacon Act. Furthermore, it clarifies that the specified contract is not a one-year contract but includes an initial term with options for four renewals, with a total maximum value of $75,000 for the entirety of the service period. The responses to questions illustrate the project's scope—specifically, that it pertains to a small section of Cleveland’s Woodland Cemetery, rather than the entire site.
