This amendment to solicitation 36C25526R0032, for preparing a site for PET/CT equipment at the Robert Dole VA Center in Wichita, KS, addresses questions and modifies submission requirements. Key updates include a package delivery deadline of December 8, 2025, at 10:00 AM CT to Tonesha.King@va.gov and jennifer.hill@va.gov, and a strict 50-page limit for SF 330 submissions. Additionally, Evaluation Factor 4 (past performance) has been replaced, now requiring detailed project cost control, quality of work, and schedule compliance for government and private industry contracts. Submissions should include contract numbers for CPARS review. For projects without CPARS data, a Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) can be submitted, with the VA making efforts to contact evaluators for incomplete forms. Evaluations will consider projects completed within the last five years and may include additional performance data from various sources.

The Robert J. Dole VAMC in Wichita, KS, seeks an A/E firm to design the renovation of 700 SF in Building 1C for new PET-CT equipment. The project, with a $750,000 construction budget, requires comprehensive architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing (including fire protection), and structural services, plus a third-party fire and life safety review. The A/E firm must deliver final construction documents within 209 days. Key tasks include hazardous material identification, coordination with PET-CT OEMs, and adherence to VA and federal design standards. The design must ensure a fully functional system, incorporating sustainability requirements and detailed cost estimates across all phases. Deliverables include various reports, drawings, specifications, and a commitment to full and open competition for materials. The A/E will also provide construction period services, including submittal reviews, RFI responses, and site visits.

The document is a Past Performance Client Questionnaire (Solicitation Attachment 6, Form 36C25526R0032) for federal government RFPs, specifically for the "Prepare Site for PET/CT" project (589A7-26-600). It is designed to gather comprehensive feedback on a contractor's performance across various critical areas. The questionnaire includes sections for general contractor information, respondent client information, and transmittal instructions for submission to Jennifer Hill and Tonesha King at NCO 15. The core of the document outlines an adjectival rating system (Exceptional, Good, Satisfactory, Marginal, Unsatisfactory, Neutral/Not Applicable/Unknown) and provides detailed criteria for evaluating contractor performance in categories such as Quality, Schedule/Timeliness, Customer Satisfaction, Management/Personnel/Labor, Cost/Financial Management, Safety/Security, and General compliance. Respondents are asked to provide an overall rating, indicate if they would rehire the firm, and offer narrative remarks on strengths, weaknesses, or deficiencies. This questionnaire is crucial for assessing performance risk in federal contracting processes.
