THIS IS A 100% SET ASIDE FOR SERVICE-DISABLED VETERAN OWNED SMALL BUSINESS (SDVOSB) CONCERNS. Firms responding to this announcement must be registered and verified as a SDVOSB at http://vip.vetbiz.gov by the response date of this announcement. The NAICS Code for this acquisition is 541310 and the applicable small business size standard is not more than $4.5 million dollars average annual revenues for the past three years. The area of consideration is RESTRICTED to a 150 mile radius of the VA Gulf Coast Veterans Health Care System, Joint Ambulatory Care Center (JACC), 790 Veterans Way, Pensacola, Florida 32507 in which the primary A/E firm's office must be located. The estimated construction range is between $500,000 and $1,000,000. The VA Gulf Coast Veterans Health Care System, JACC, is seeking Architect-Engineering (AE) design services to provide a full set of bid documents (Scope of Work, Drawings, Specifications, and Cost Estimate). The area to be studied is the VA JACC Second Floor Northeast Quadrant Ambulatory Surgery Suite Area. This ambulatory surgery unit was designed in the 2005-2006 timeframe in accordance with (IAW) VA Design Standards for minor surgery (by definition) procedures only. The VA desires to convert this unit to a full-up Surgery suite and this study, evaluation, and design shall address all architectural, engineering, fire and life safety concerns for this conversion. Although all architectural, engineering, fire and life safety concerns shall be addressed with the study, the most important engineering disciplines of concern are Mechanical-HVAC and Electrical power. The Mechanical-HVAC study, evaluation, and design shall be performed IAW and for compliance with the latest VA HVAC Design Criteria for surgery units. The Mechanical-HVAC study, evaluation, and design shall address all applicable systems-supply, exhaust, controls and instrumentation, chilled water, and the new requirements for surgery direct digital controls (DDC). The Electrical power study, evaluation, and design shall be performed IAW and for compliance with the latest VA Electrical Design Manual. Specifically, the VA desires to have all surgery unit power, lighting, controls, mechanical HVAC systems, fire and life safety systems on full emergency backup power, with the applicable automatic transfer functions. This study, evaluation, and design shall perform the appropriate electrical power analyses to determine if the existing 600kw facility generator system can accept this load. If the study reveals that the existing generator system cannot accept this load, then the alternative recommendations shall be submitted. Record Drawings of all disciplines are available in the JACC Engineering department. Firms that meet the requirements listed in this announcement are invited to submit three (3) copies of Standard Form (SF) 330 with appropriate documentation to the Contracting Officer, Attention: Cynthia Davenport, VA Gulf Coast Veterans Health Care System, 400 Veterans Avenue, Contracting (90C), Bldg T102 Rm A110, Biloxi, MS 39531, no later than April 5, 2011, 4:00 P.M., CST.

In this regard, the apparently successful offeror shall submit a VA Form 0877 to CVE via VA's VIP at: www.vetbiz.gov, internet site. This confidential and secure electronic application will enable CVE to inform the CO of the service-disabled Veteran or Veteran status of the owner(s) of the offeror without the CO having to receive and secure confidential individually identifiable information or personal health care information on this topic. (2)Eligible parties own 51 percent or more of the concern (see 38 CFR 74.3). Adequate documentation can include copies of official stock certificates, articles of incorporation, partnership agreement, operating agreement, or other similar documentation which reasonably demonstrates the percentage of ownership by eligible parties; and (3)Eligible parties control the concern (See 38 CFR 74.4). Control includes both the strategic policy setting exercised, for example, by boards of directors, and the day-to-day management and administration of business operations. Adequate documentation should include articles of incorporation, corporate by-laws, partnership agreement, operating agreement, resumes, disclosure of any other current employment, or other relevant documentation, as applicable, which demonstrates control of the strategic and day-to-day management of the offeror by eligible parties, as applicable. (b)CVE will examine the business documents to determine if they establish appropriate ownership and control of the business from which an offer has been received. Within 21 business days, CVE shall determine whether the firm can or cannot be verified as a SDVOSB or VOSB, as appropriate, and issue its decision thereon to the vendor in accordance with 38 CFR 74.11(e) and to the CO. The CO will use CVE's decision in making the source selection decision. (c)If a competing vendor raises a status protest prior to CVE's completion of its verification examination, the CO may rely on the status protest decision when issued. (d)This deviation will expire December 31, 2011. Thereafter, in accordance with VAAR 804.1102, COs shall only make awards to SDVOSBs or VOSBs which are listed as verified in VIP at: www.vetbiz.gov.
