Description

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 in the Vendor Information Pages (VIP) at https://www.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 $7 million. The area of consideration is RESTRICTED to within a 200 mile radius of the VA Gulf Coast Veterans Health Care System Biloxi Campus, 400 Veterans Avenue, Biloxi, Mississippi. The primary A/E firm's main office or an existing branch office must be located within the 200 mile radius. The estimated construction range is $2,000,000.00 to $5,000,000.00. The VA Gulf Coast Veterans Health Care System is seeking Architect-Engineering (AE) design services to provide a full set of bid documents (Scope of Work, Drawings, Specifications, and Cost Estimate) for Project No. 520-12-101, Renovate N&FS to VCS Canteen Bldg. 21. A/E SCOPE OF WORK Provide professional Architect/Engineer (A/E) Services to include preliminary services, investigative work, planning consultations and visits, design work, preparation of contract drawings and specifications, preparation of bid items, and if necessary, respond to contractor's and subcontractor's inquiries during the bid period, preparation of as-builts drawings, preparation of cost estimates, and construction period services as necessary for construction administration and installation of all work for Project No. 520-12-101. There will be three (3) submissions for working drawings and specification; 25%, 75%, and 100% design submissions. All plans and elevation drawings shall be a minimum scale of 1/8"=1'0", large scale details (minimum ¼"=1'0") at largest possible scale to convey conditions of the work to be encountered. All site drawings shall be a minimum of 1"=30' scale. Drawings shall be developed by AutoCad Software Release 2008 (or better) and shall be stored on compact disk (disk to be submitted with design submissions mentioned above.) All drawings are to remain the property of the VA. This project consists of a complete renovation of existing kitchen of Building 21. Included will be major and minor floor space reallocation, significant infrastructure/utility upgrades, and upgrading of interior finishes. All areas will be updated to meet the latest VA requirements for modernization. This includes rehabilitation of walls, floors, ceilings, doorways, and restrooms. Remodeling in some areas to meet new space criteria and increase space utilization. Updating environmental controls and equipment such as ventilation fans, air handling equipment, and air distribution. The existing infrastructure is over 80 years old and does not meet current VCS needs or design criteria. This includes room sizes, and configuration features and criteria for a combination of retail space and dining areas. Potential code issues related to JCAHO, SOARS, CAP, and other required review agencies will be addressed and resolved with this project. With the system we currently have, we are unable to compensate or make adjustments to meet the latest requirements without significantly impacting daily operations. We intend to use this project as an opportunity to make the necessary upgrades that will allow us to maintain a complete newly renovated modern facility. In addition, we intend to modernize VCS by upgrading finishes and utilities serving these areas. The VCS design will follow Department of Veterans Affairs Design Guide dated August 2005 for templates located at http://vaww.va.gov/facmgt/standard/asp. Interior construction will meet all required codes and standards. It is anticipated that the facility will be designed with vinyl, tile, carpet, and rubber flooring, painted gypsum wallboard system, acoustical ceiling grid systems (except wet areas), corner guards and handrails throughout hallways, and other standard medical clinic interior finishes. The A/E will prepare a proposed color chart with all finishes for approval by VA Interior Design staff. The design includes all mechanical and electrical systems. Plumbing will include sanitary, hot, and cold water systems. It is not anticipated to include any medical piping. The HVAC system will include zoned air handlers, variable air boxes, etc. all controlled by a central computer system. The electrical system consists of standard electrical devices (220/120V) and low-voltage systems. The low-voltage systems will include CAT5 data and phone, panic alarms, fire alarms, security entrance systems, etc. The project design shall be completed in accordance with this scope of work and all appropriate Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Standards, specifications, and other criteria unless otherwise approved by VA. The design shall be reviewed and approved by a Registered Fire Protection engineer. The following references, as a minimum, shall be utilized for planning and design purposes: H-08-1, VA Master Construction Specifications H-08-3, VA Construction Standards H-08-4, VA Standard Details NFPA, EPA, OSHA, and all applicable local, state, and Federal regulations First Design submission (25%): After site assessment, A/E shall make a formal presentation in person to discuss with VA Engineering Service the proposed project and estimates of construction.
