The Department of Veterans Affairs, through the VHA Program Contracting Activity Central, is conducting market research via a Sources Sought Notice for the relocation and expansion of dialysis operations at the Jerry L. Pettis Memorial Veterans Hospital in Loma Linda, California. The project aims to move operations from the fourth floor to the ground level to improve patient access and resolve critical plumbing deterioration. The scope of work includes the construction of a new two-story 12,500 square foot dialysis center, the remodeling of 3,400 square feet of existing space on the first and second floors, the installation of reverse osmosis plumbing and waste lines, and the rerouting of the facility's emergency access road. The estimated magnitude of construction is between 10 million and 20 million dollars, with a projected performance period of 730 calendar days from the issuance of a Notice to Proceed. The government intends to award this as a competitive, firm-fixed-price contract using a design-bid-build approach, with potential procurement paths including a Request for Proposal considering technical and price factors or an Invitation for Bid based on price only.
