619A4-23-105 Renovate Building 10 - AE CPS

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through Network Contracting Office 7, intends to award a sole-source, Firm Fixed Price contract to Apogee Consulting Group, P.A., a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, for Architect-Engineer Construction Period Services (AE CPS). The project, identified as 619A4-23-105, involves the renovation of Building 10 at the Central Alabama Veterans Healthcare System in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The estimated value of the contract is $244,064.77. This non-competitive procurement is justified under VAAR 819.7008 and 38 U.S.C. 8127(b) to retain the original Designer of Record, ensuring design continuity, operational efficiency, and reduced lead times during the construction phase. The scope of work requires the contractor to provide essential post-award construction support, including reviewing submittals, responding to contractor Requests for Information (RFIs), implementing design modifications, and conducting site visits and construction meetings to maintain the original design intent. Performance is tied to the construction timeline, with the primary goal of minimizing delays caused by design ambiguity. The contract is managed by Contracting Officer Gregory Snyder and Contract Specialist Kimberly Devlin, with Rodney Hardy serving as the Contracting Officer's Representative.
