The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is conducting market research for a Design-Build project to construct a new 350-space parking structure at the Martinez VA Medical Center in Martinez, CA. This project, valued between $20,000,000 and $50,000,000, involves the demolition of existing temporary buildings and a solar array, site preparation, utility relocation, and the construction of a fully functional parking structure with elevators, signage, and security features. The procurement will be a competitive, firm-fixed-price contract using a two-phase design-build approach, with an anticipated advertising period between February and March 2026. Interested contractors are requested to submit capability statements by January 15, 2026, detailing company information, bonding capacity, relevant project experience (up to three design-build or non-design-build projects within the last ten years), and a professional assessment of the project's cost feasibility. This notice is for market research only and does not constitute a solicitation.
This Statement of Work (SOW) outlines the requirements for Design Build Services for Project 612-165, which involves constructing a 350-space parking structure on the Martinez VA Campus in Mather, California, by September 4, 2025. The project's purpose is to replace an expiring lease and includes the demolition of existing temporary buildings (AB-5, AB-6, AB-7) and a solar array. The Design Build (DB) contractor is responsible for all design and construction, adhering to VA Design Guides, Master Specifications, and applicable building codes like IBC, NFPA, and OSHA. Key objectives include providing a fully functional parking structure, a phased demolition plan, maintaining two-directional traffic, managing all utility connections and associated fees, relocating existing utilities, and providing third-party commissioning. The contractor must also incorporate an anti-suicide protection system, an electrical room, an IT closet, and four electric vehicle charging stations. The project demands careful site development, management of site utilities including coordination with PG&E, adherence to noise restrictions, and comprehensive traffic management. The DB contractor is also responsible for all necessary state permitting, environmental documentation (NEPA), and Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) development and implementation. Design deliverables include a detailed project schedule, a VA Criteria Deviation Log, and various design submissions (35%, 65%, 100% Schematic, and Final Documents) in both hard copy and electronic formats. Construction support services involve field reconnaissance, site investigations, submittal and shop drawing reviews, participation in weekly construction meetings, and performing acceptance testing. Commissioning services must follow the OCFM Whole Building Commissioning Process Manual and cover HVAC, electrical, communications, elevator, and fire suppression systems. Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) is critical, requiring a detailed plan submitted 14 days after notice to proceed. Phasing meetings will outline project sequences, durations, and government constraints, with a focus on minimizing parking and traffic impacts. The total project duration is 484 consecutive days, with specific timelines for design submissions, demolition, earthwork, and vertical construction. Risk control emphasizes consideration for the active hospital environment, contractor parking in designated areas, and coordination of all site visits. Safety measures include hot work permits, and security protocols prohibit access to VA sensitive information or connecting contractor-owned IT devices to VA networks. Record management dictates that all deliverables are U.S. Government property, with strict adherence to federal and agency policies regarding information safeguarding and disclosure.
