The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is preparing to solicit bids for a construction project aimed at expanding and consolidating primary care facilities at the Northern Arizona VA Medical Center in Prescott, AZ. The project involves renovating 15,407 square feet of existing space and the construction of an additional 4,609 square feet. This work will convert mixed-use areas into Patient Aligned Care Team (PACT) model primary care space, requiring a general contractor to manage all labor and materials. The project includes comprehensive alterations involving architectural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and telecommunication systems.
The solicitation will be issued as an Invitation for Bid (IFB) and is set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), with an estimated budget between $10 million and $20 million. The estimated period of performance is approximately 420 days following the notice to proceed. Interested bidders must submit questions in writing, and responses are due by November 15, 2024. This RFP highlights the VA's commitment to improving healthcare facilities for veterans while adhering to federal contracting regulations.
The notice from the Department of Veterans Affairs concerning Project 649-415, which involved the expansion and consolidation of primary care facilities in Prescott, has been officially canceled. There are currently no plans to issue a new solicitation for this project. The document provided essential information including the contracting office's address, the relevant solicitation number, and specific codes related to the project. The cancellation of the project indicates a shift in priorities within the government’s contracting activities and may reflect budgetary constraints or changes in strategic focus. Overall, this highlights the fluid nature of federal contracting and the importance of staying informed about project statuses for stakeholders.
