The Orlando VA Health Care System (OVAHCS) is soliciting design-build services to connect its Lake Baldwin campus irrigation system to the City of Orlando's reclaimed water main and pave an existing gravel parking lot. The project requires a Design-Build (D/B) firm to provide all labor, materials, tools, equipment, supervision, and design-build services. The reclaimed water connection aims to utilize lower quality water as required by the St. John’s River Water Management District (SJRWMD). This involves installing new piping, fittings, valves, pumps, flow sensors, and electrical connections. The parking lot expansion includes asphalt paving, striping, and constructing a new entry point, requiring an Environmental Resource Permit (ERP) due to increased impervious area. Both phases demand adherence to City of Orlando, OUC, FDOT, and SJRWMD standards, as well as VA Program Guides and design materials. The project involves a 332-calendar-day design phase and a 300-calendar-day construction phase, totaling 632 days, with an alternative 330-day timeline for only the reclaimed water connection. Deliverables include design plans, drainage reports, permit applications, and a cost estimate. Safety requirements include OSHA-approved training and a Pre-Construction Risk Assessment (PCRA) due to the project's classification as Type C, Low Risk Group, Class II. All records generated are property of the U.S. Government, with strict adherence to records management policies.
