The document addresses a modification to the Notice for the construction project of Electronic Health Record Modernization (EHRM) Infrastructure Upgrades at the Salem VA Medical Center. The main purpose of this administrative amendment is to adjust the estimated construction costs, revising the range from $50,000,000 - $100,000,000 to a new range of $20,000,000 - $50,000,000. This change is in accordance with VA Acquisition Regulation (VAAR) guidelines, which suggest that the actual cost tends toward the higher end of the range. All other terms and conditions from the original solicitation (36C77625Q0111) remain intact. The project is set to be conducted by the Department of Veterans Affairs, with a response deadline for bidders on February 18, 2025. The contracting office is located in Independence, Ohio, and interested parties can contact the contract specialist, Mario Hairston, for further information.
