The Southeast Louisiana Veterans Healthcare System seeks proposals for an emergency design/build project to address structural deficiencies in the staff and patient/visitor parking garages at the New Orleans VA Medical Center following significant deterioration identified during a December 2024 assessment. The contractor is required to provide comprehensive shoring and repair solutions, ensuring minimal disruption to operations while adhering to all applicable regulations and VA standards. Key tasks include designing and repairing cracked and spalling concrete, replacing deteriorated sealants, and addressing safety hazards, particularly on multiple levels within both garages.
The work is to commence within ten days of contract award, with design completion expected in 60 days and construction within 90 days. Contractor submissions must feature detailed cost estimates and construction plans, with comprehensive documentation throughout the process. All operations must align with established safety, health, and regulatory standards to ensure compliance and protect individuals on site. This project underscores the VA's commitment to maintaining a safe and functional environment for veterans and healthcare staff, addressing urgent structural concerns while promoting safety and accessibility.
