- Description
- VA intends to award an Architect/Engineer contract for preparation of working drawings and specifications, cost estimates, submittal review, other construction period services for a variety of Non-Recurring Maintenance (NRM) projects at the VA Medical Center, Syracuse, NY and at the Donald J. Mitchell Department of Veterans Affairs Outpatient Clinic, Rome, NY. It is the intent to complete all designs as soon as possible in Fiscal Year 2008 (FY08) for construction award in FY 08, dependent on the approval of the projects and availability of construction funding. If construction is not approved and awarded in FY 08, it is the intent to award the construction early in FY 09. There are twelve (12) separate tasks that may be included in this intended award, dependent upon VA's design budget and the fee schedule negotiated with the most highly ranked firm. The brief descriptions below summarize those tasks in a somewhat descending order of importance dependent again upon available funding. Task descriptions that do not include ".Rome." are applicable to the Syracuse VA Medical Center. Each task may result in a separate construction contract award, but it is much more likely that many will be combined. During the initial design phase, evaluations will be made as to which tasks might be efficiently combined to result in fewer construction awards. Please refer to these tasks collectively as "EXTERIOR A-E DESIGNS" and use the RFI number VA-528-08-RI-0007 to identify your submission to this announcement. . Replace Roofs (Phase II) .

Final ranking of interviewed firms will be based on the team proposed for this project, the proposed management plan, previous experience of the team, geographic location of the firm, proposed design approach, project control, estimating effectiveness, sustainable design, miscellaneous experience & capabilities, awards, insurance and litigation. The area of consideration is restricted to firms with offices and key personnel to be assigned to the designs located within a 90 mile radius of the Syracuse VA Medical Center.
