The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking to address critical deficiencies in the sanitary and storm water systems at the Carl Vinson VA Medical Center in Dublin, Georgia. This presolicitation notice outlines a design project (Project #557-24-102) estimated between $5 million and $10 million, specifically set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs). Interested firms must submit their qualifications via SF 330 forms by January 13, 2025. The project includes repairing existing terracotta piping and brick manholes, assessing inflow and infiltration of stormwater into the sanitary system, and designing a phased repair strategy based on a forthcoming smoke study.
Offerors will be evaluated on specialized experience, past performance, professional qualifications, local knowledge, work capacity, and commitment to subcontracting with SDVOSBs. Compliance requirements stipulate that firms must be verified as SDVOSBs and registered in the appropriate government databases. The anticipated contract award date is by September 30, 2025, ensuring that the design enhances functional efficiency and complies with regulations while improving environmental management at the facility.
The document outlines the process for submitting a Past Performance Questionnaire as part of a response to a Request for SF 330 from the Department of Veterans Affairs (NCO 7) for design services to address utility system deficiencies. It mandates specific past performance data from respondents, including contract details, project descriptions, and performance ratings from clients. The firm must designate a point of contact for reference and ensure all completed questionnaires are sent directly to the specified Contract Specialist at NCO 7, emphasizing the confidentiality of the evaluated performance information. Key evaluation criteria include design services, construction support, LEED documentation, and overall project management performance. Contractors are required to rate their performance and provide narrative explanations for lower ratings. This structured approach aims to assess the qualifications of architecture-engineering firms accurately, ensuring adherence to government standards in contract management and service delivery.
