Description

General The VA Medical Center, Canandaigua, New York is engaging in a short-list selection as defined in FAR 36.602-5(a) of an AE (SDVOSB) for the inspection of all exterior brick/mortar/terra cotta surfaces of the listed buildings for brick/mortar failures and the reason causing said failures. Buildings 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 16, 36, and 40 will require said inspections. SDVOSB A/E's with an SF-330 on file within the past twelve months are being considered and need not re-submit a SF330. SDVOSBs who believe they have a SF330 file should contact the Contracting Officer, Emily Lindsey, to verify the SF330 is on file. Other SDVOSB firms having a working office within a 300 mile radius from 400 Fort Hill Avenue, Canandaigua NY may submit SF 330's for consideration, to the Contracting Officer at Emily.Lindsey2@va.gov by 3:00 PM EST, Monday, December 8, 2014. This procurement is set-aside for Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB). There is no estimate for a construction range, as this is merely an assessment of building conditions and an analysis of findings. Site location for this project is the Canandaigua VAMC 400 Fort Hill Ave., Canandaigua, NY 14424.The NAICS code for this procurement is 541310. SDVOSBs shall be verified in www.vetbiz.gov at time of offer and award. EXISTING CONDITIONS A majority of the buildings were built during the 1930's and 1940's. The majority of the buildings on the campus are constructed of concrete with brick bearing facades and terra cotta sill and cap stone architectural features. The buildings are in various states of dis-repair with respect to exterior brick/mortar/terra cotta joints, mortar joints and brick faces which are spalling, deteriorating and mortar joints require re-pointing, and evidence of lateral translation. In some cases, sections of walls may require rebuilding. PROJECT SCOPE 1.Inspect all exterior brick/mortar/terra cotta surfaces of the listed buildings for brick/mortar failures and the reason causing said failures. Buildings 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 16, 36, and 40 will require said inspections. 2.Prepare a detailed analysis of the condition of each building's exterior brick/mortar face, including inherent risk of falling (safety), size of area(s) in question, and the scope of repair vs. replacement and cost estimate for repair/replacement. The work shall also analyze the cause for the structural deterioration of the brick/mortar interface, i.e., roofing, flashing etc. Close attention shall be given to the parapet areas and others as shown in figure 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3. The analysis will include photographs of all areas requiring repair/replacement. 3.Prepare a final report for the total project prioritizing the repair/replacement on the following criteria: 3.1.Risk/likelihood of falling, to life and limb (safety). This would primarily be over entrances and walk ways. 3.2.Risk/likelihood of falling, second floor and above, non-safety related. 3.3.Risk to structural integrity of building. 3.4.Risk vs. time exposure, i.e. after safety and structural risk, what needs to be done first? 4.The A/E shall provide a Project Scope of Work for the actual repair project as well as the estimate, details and specifications for each individual building. 5.The A/E shall provide all labor, supervision and materials necessary to perform the work as indicated in the scope of work. 6.The A/E is responsible for all field measurements; the Government will not be held responsible for bidding errors made or the failure to adequately inspect the job site for existing conditions, dimensions and existing equipment.
