The Department of Veterans Affairs is soliciting bids for project 674-22-805, "Upgrade Building Automation System," at its Temple and Waco Veterans Affairs Medical Centers in Texas. This competitive, 100% Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside requires contractors to upgrade HVAC and related systems to a digital control system (Metasys BACNET MSTP network). The project, valued between $10 million and $20 million, involves general construction, alterations, and installation of JCI Metasys devices. A mandatory performance period of 548 calendar days applies. Proposals must be submitted via email by January 12, 2026, and will be evaluated based on past performance (significantly more important) and price, with technical acceptability (EMR less than or equal to 1.00) as a prerequisite. Pre-bid site visits are scheduled for December 10th and 11th, 2025.

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 17, has issued a presolicitation notice (36C25726R0012) for a Request for Proposals (RFP) to upgrade the Building Automation Systems (BAS) at the Temple and Waco VAMCs in Texas. This project involves reconfiguring outpatient rehabilitation medicine and pharmacy service areas by upgrading HVAC and related systems to a digital control system on the Metasys BACNET MSTP network. Johnson Controls International (JCI) is an approved consultant. The project includes approximately 30 buildings at the Waco campus and 11 at the Temple campus. The solicitation, for a single, firm fixed price construction contract, is set aside for 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Concerns (SDVOSB) with a NAICS code of 236220 and a size standard of $45M. The estimated construction magnitude is between $10,000,000 and $20,000,000, with a performance period of 548 days.

Contractors must be registered in SAM and SBA MySBA Certifications, and have a current VETS 4212 report.

This document outlines the "Upgrade Building Automation System - Waco & Temple VAMC" project (VA Project Number: 674-22-805), a 100% Construction Documents package. The project involves upgrading the building automation systems at both the Doris Miller Waco Medical Center and the Olin E. Teague Veterans Center in Texas. It details the involved architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, fire protection, and physical security consultants, including Spur Design, H2B, Inc., Poole Fire Protection, Inc., and Force Protect. The document specifies adherence to various codes and standards, including the 2021 International Building Code (IBC) and NFPA 101 Life Safety Code, and provides general construction notes and energy requirements for the Waco and Temple locations. It also includes a comprehensive sheet index covering general, civil, architectural, mechanical, electrical, and telecommunications plans and details for various buildings at both VA Medical Centers.

This document, "674-22-805 | Upgrade Building Automation System," outlines the 100% construction documents for upgrades at the Olin E. Teague VAMC in Temple, TX, and the Doris Miller VAMC in Waco, TX. The project involves upgrading existing building automation system environmental controls, including demolition and installation of new systems. Key aspects cover general requirements such as site preparation, security procedures, document control, and restrictions on operations and storage areas. The document details requirements for maintaining utility services, managing alterations, disposing of materials, and protecting existing vegetation and structures. It also addresses restoration work, professional surveying, as-built drawings, and a comprehensive warranty management plan, emphasizing safety, coordination, and compliance with VA and federal regulations throughout the construction period.

The VHA Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) template (VHA ICRA-1.3, December 2024) provides minimum requirements for categorizing construction, renovation, and maintenance activities within VHA facilities to prevent infection risks. It guides users through a four-step process: identifying the activity category (A, B, C, or D), assessing affected areas, determining overall patient risk (Low, Medium, High, or Highest), and establishing the necessary level of infection prevention and control precautions (I, II, III, or IV). The document details specific control measures for each precaution level, escalating from basic dust control to advanced containment with negative pressurization and anterooms for higher-risk activities. It also outlines required post-activity cleaning and inspection protocols. A permit form is included for Level III and IV activities, which must be posted at the project site. An appendix offers an alternative interior exhaust procedure for negative air systems when outdoor exhaust is not feasible, emphasizing HEPA filtration and continuous particulate monitoring.

The VHA Pre-Construction Risk Assessment (PCRA) template, VHA-PCRA-2024-1.1, provides minimum requirements for categorizing the type and safety risk of construction, renovation, and maintenance activities within VHA facilities. This template ensures appropriate precautions are taken to prevent impact on patients, employees, and contractors. It outlines control measures for three activity types: Inspection/Upkeep, Small-scale, and Large-scale, with increasing levels of control for higher risk activities. The document emphasizes the use of activity statements of work and drawings for assessment, and mandates communication and coordination plans with affected areas. A critical component is the requirement to use this PCRA in conjunction with the VHA Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) if infection risks are present. The document includes a fillable permit form for posting at activity sites and details requirements for assessing and coordinating with adjacent areas. The current project involves upgrading HVAC digital controls across Waco and Temple medical campuses, categorized as a "Small Scale" activity. An ICRA is required, and initial walkthroughs are planned to re-evaluate ICRA levels for each location. Key personnel, including the Project Manager, Safety Officer, and Chair of the Construction Safety Committee, have signed off on the permit.

This document outlines the price schedule breakdown instructions for a government contract, likely an RFP related to construction or facility upgrades, specifically mentioning "Upgrade Building Automation System Temple/Waco TX." It details that all pricing is fixed, and the awardee is responsible for ensuring the accuracy of calculations and transposing totals to the Price Summary. The schedule categorizes costs by construction industry "Divisions," aligning with the Construction Specification Institute (CSI) breakdown. These line items are for informational purposes only and do not represent separate billable deliverables. The document clarifies that "Field office overhead" and "general conditions" are interchangeable terms and will be applied only once to the contract. The price schedule itself, CLIN 0001, lists numerous divisions (e.g., General Requirements, Concrete, Electrical, Plumbing) and subgroups (e.g., Facility Services, Site & Infrastructure, Process Equipment) with N/A and $0.00 entries, suggesting it's a template or an initial breakdown where costs will be filled in. Additional cost categories include Insurance/Bonds, Taxes/Other Fees, O&M Manuals, Overhead, Subcontract Mark-Up, and Profit, culminating in Subtotals and a Contract Total.

The document provides a detailed building schedule and architectural scale references, likely for a government Request for Proposal (RFP) or a federal grant project.
