The Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center issued a presolicitation notice for project 695-22-117, involving the renovation and construction of a new Audiology Clinic on the 5th floor, B Wing North. This project, with a magnitude price range of $5,000,000 to $10,000,000, will create a 6,100 square-foot clinic in the space formerly occupied by the Dialysis Clinic. The scope includes extensive demolition of existing structures and systems, new MEP work, installation of an RTU, and architectural improvements such as clinical rooms, sound booths, and a patient lobby. The project is a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside, with a NAICS code of 236220 and a size standard of $45 Million. The period of performance is 450 calendar days.

VAAR 852.219-75 outlines the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) requirements for limitations on subcontracting for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) and Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSBs). This clause, applicable to federal government RFPs, mandates that contractors comply with specific subcontracting limits to firms not certified as SDVOSBs or VOSBs. For general construction contracts, this limit is 85% of the government-paid amount, excluding material costs. Service contracts (excluding construction) have a 50% limit, while special trade construction contractors have a 75% limit, also excluding material costs. The certification is legally binding, with penalties for false certifications or non-compliance. Contractors must provide documentation to the VA upon request to demonstrate adherence to these limitations, and failure to do so can result in remedial action. Non-certified offers will be deemed ineligible for evaluation and award. The document includes a mandatory certification form for offerors to complete and submit with their bids, ensuring their commitment to these subcontracting regulations.

The government file details pre-bid inquiries and responses for project 695-22-117, "Renovate Bldg 111 Audiology 5BN."

The responses confirm that all missing drawings and the correct spec manual will be reissued, and a specification for pneumatic tube removal will be provided. The document also clarifies that the site superintendent and SSHO must be full-time and separate individuals, material sales tax is to be included in bids, and the VA will provide the submittal management system (OpCenter). Additionally, an independent third-party inspector is required for all new firestopping systems.

The Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 12, is seeking a single-source acquisition for the Johnson Controls Metasys Building Automation and HVAC Control System at the Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center in Milwaukee, WI. The estimated cost for this acquisition is $119,435. The justification for a single source is based on the existing campus-wide Johnson Controls Metasys system. Integrating an incompatible system would necessitate new front-end installations, remote workstations, software, and programming, leading to increased maintenance costs and potential interface problems. The current system ensures complete compatibility, minimizes maintenance, and guarantees staff familiarity, preventing the need for two separate HVAC control systems on the campus. Market research confirmed that other systems are not compatible and would incur additional maintenance expenses. The contracting officer has certified this purchase in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b).

Multiple sections highlight the coordination between mechanical, electrical, and plumbing sheets, ensuring comprehensiveness for construction and design development.

This government file details the control sequences and operational parameters for a Packaged Rooftop Unit (RTU) with an exhaust fan, likely part of a federal government RFP for HVAC system upgrades at the VA Milwaukee Renovation 111 Audiology 5BN project. It outlines the integration with a Facility Management Control System (FMCS) via BACnet, specifying controls for supply and exhaust fans, ventilation, supply air temperature, and economizer operations. Key components include duct static pressure sensors, building pressure sensors, and temperature/humidity sensors. The document also provides schedules for occupied and unoccupied modes, alarm conditions for system faults and dirty filters, and safety interlocks for high/low static pressure and fire alarms. The project emphasizes adherence to VA standards and detailed coordination for sensor placement and wiring.

The scope of work includes the installation and upgrading of a fire alarm system compatible with the existing Siemens system, ensuring existing systems remain operational during construction and implementing alternative protection as needed. The contractor is required to submit detailed plans, perform quality control testing, and ensure all materials comply with relevant codes, including NFPA and VA standards. Coordination with the existing fire alarm service provider and adherence to specified installation protocols are mandatory, and all work must be documented through approved shop drawings and as-built documents.

The document outlines the demolition plans for the plumbing and medical gas systems within several floors of the VA Milwaukee facility, including guidelines for field verification of existing systems, removal of specific plumbing fixtures, and abandonment of certain piping.

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically VISN 12 Zablocki Medical Center, is issuing a single source justification for the acquisition of a Siemens Cerberus Pyrotronics System. This system is essential for renovating the Audiology Clinic and will integrate seamlessly with the existing campus-wide fire alarm system at the Milwaukee facility. The estimated cost is $18,085. The justification highlights that the Cerberus Pyrotronics System is the only product that allows for a single, unified fire alarm system, ensuring patient safety and minimizing maintenance costs by matching existing components. Market research did not identify any other system offering seamless integration. The purchase is approved in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b).

This document is a Justification for Single Source Award for the Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically for the Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center in Milwaukee, WI. The purpose is to acquire a Jeron Health Care Call System Provider 790 Nurse Call System for $29,000.00. This single-source acquisition is justified because the Jeron system is the only product compatible with the existing Nurse Call system's backbone and head-end equipment in Building 111. Expanding with a different vendor would be extremely cost-prohibitive due to the need for new incompatible components, and it would compromise patient safety by disrupting seamless communication. The existing system cannot be expanded by other manufacturers, and no other system offers seamless integration. The contracting officer approved the purchase in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b).

The Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 12, Zablocki Medical Center, is requesting a single-source award for Sargent 11 Series T-zone cylindrical locksets and Sargent 8200 series Mortise Locksets with Medeco 7-pin interchangeable cylindrical cores. This justification, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1, is for an acquisition over the micro-purchase threshold but not exceeding $250,000, with an estimated cost of $21,700. The medical center requires these specific locksets and keying systems for all construction to maintain security and patient safety, citing that "approved equals" are not comparable in quality.
