The Department of Veterans Affairs seeks an architect-engineer (A-E) firm to design and construct a parking garage for the Iowa City VA Medical Center, split into two phases. Phase 1 requires minor design services, primarily architectural and engineering expertise. With a revised NAICS code of 541330, this phase focuses on professional engineering services, demanding a specialized vendor. The A-E firm must have multi-disciplinary licenses and extensive experience in large-scale structural design, including parking structures, while adhering to VA design criteria.
The project aims to create a multi-level parking garage, potentially underground, with around 128 spaces, and involves relocating a landscape maintenance shop. The VA emphasizes procuring independent design services and outlines stringent response timelines and evaluation criteria based on technical competence and past performance. The contract is a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside, with a response deadline of August 19, 2024. Contact Bailey Donato for more information on this opportunity, which has an estimated design time of 266 days and an unspecified funding amount.
