Phase I shall consist of, at a minimum, a response to the scope of work for each site and evaluation factors, such as: 1) key personnel; 2) technical qualifications, such as: a) specialized experience and technical competence; b) capability to perform; c) past performance of the offeror's team (to include A-E and construction members); and, 3) Other appropriate factors. Phase II will consist of technical and price proposals and will be limited to no more than five offerors (in accordance with FAR) selected from the Phase I respondents. Firms invited to participate in Phase II will be notified in writing. Phase II will have additional evaluation factors, such as 1) design concepts; 2) management approach; 3) schedule; and, 4) proposed technical solutions. Phase II will also require a Bid Guarantee. Evaluation factors for both phases will be finalized in the solicitation documents. The Government anticipates awarding the resultant Design-Build contract to only one firm, but may consider awarding multiple contracts if it is advantageous to the Government. Final award(s) will be made based on a Best Value determination. BACKGROUND AND PROCESS - VISN 23 is acquiring three new MRI machines. The machines will be acquired by the VA National Acquisition Center (MAC), Hines, IL. One each is to be installed at the VAMC Minneapolis, MN, the VAMC Sioux Falls, SD, and VAMC Des Moines, IA. The new MRI at Minneapolis is intended to be placed in renovated space. The new MRIs at both Sioux Falls and Des Moines will be placed in new additions, with renovations to accommodate tie-in to and matching of historical existing buildings. The MRI units being purchased are Phillips 3.0 Tesla Achieva and it is the VA's intent to incorporate the patented Phillips "ambient experience". The delivery date for the equipment is still pending. NAICS Codes 541310 or 236220 apply depending if the Prime Contractor is an A-E firm or a construction firm. THIS IS A 100% SET-ASIDE FOR SERVICE- DISABLED VETERAN-OWNED SMALL BUSINESS in accordance with the Veterans First Contracting Program (PL 109-461). It is in the intent of the government to publish all necessary Request for Proposal (RFP) documents on or about February 28, 2008. Solicitation documents will be available at www.fbo.gov. Phase I proposals are due in the VISN 23 Contracting Office, VA Medical Center, Bldg 68, One Veterans Drive, Minneapolis, MN 55417 by 4:30 p.m. CT on March 27, 2008. The Government desires that offerors provide two (2) copies each required submission for each Phase. In accordance with FAR 28.101 Phase II will require the submittal of a Bid Guarantee of 20% of the price bid. Only separate bid bonds are acceptable for this construction project. NOTE: Plans are now underway to re-locate the VISN 23 Contracting Office in the near future. An amendment will be issued if this re-location occurs before Phase II proposals are due (Phase II proposals are estimated due mid-June 2008). Any questions regarding this announcement must reference VA-263-08-RP-0123. The Government will not undertake extraordinary measures to identify responses without this reference.
