The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) seeks qualifications from service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses to engage architectural and engineering (A/E) services for an extensive roof replacement project at the White River Junction VA Medical Center in Vermont. The goal is to replace the roofs of Buildings 1, 31, and 88 while also preparing for potential future installation of solar panels.
The VA requires professional A/E services to develop detailed construction drawings, specifications, schedules, and cost estimates. This project emphasizes phased construction to ensure that medical operations remain uninterrupted. The chosen A/E firm will conduct site investigations, assess existing conditions, and propose design alternatives, working closely with the VA's project team. They must demonstrate experience in healthcare facility renovations and adhere to VA design guidelines.
The scope of work includes professional field inspections, review of construction submissions, and timely support during the construction period. The VA expects the work to be completed within a 210-day design timeline. Firms interested in this fixed-price contract must submit SF 330 qualification packages, highlighting their specialized experience, professional qualifications, past performance, capacity, and proximity to the project site. The selection process will also consider the firms' commitment to using service-disabled veteran-owned and veteran-owned small businesses as subcontractors.
Key dates for this opportunity include a question deadline of May 15, 2023, and a submission deadline of May 31, 2023. The VA encourages potential applicants to carefully review the requirements and criteria outlined in the special notice and associated documents.
