The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 10 is soliciting quotes from qualified small businesses under NAICS 238210 for the installation of an analog phone line at the VA facility in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The project involves reconnecting the pedestrian blue call pole communication line between Buildings 3 and 6. The scope of work includes removing old cabling and installing approximately 700 feet of new 25-pair CAT 3 cable from the Building 3 OIT Telecommunication Room to the Building 6 basement. The contractor must terminate all cable pairs at the existing 100-pair Building Entrance Protect in Building 3 and the 66-block in Building 6, utilizing the existing duct bank and underground access vaults. Additionally, the contractor is responsible for removing and properly restoring firestopping material in the OIT Telecommunication Room. This total small business set-aside project has a construction magnitude of less than 25,000 dollars. The period of performance is specified as 30 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with work hours scheduled Monday through Friday from 07:00 to 15:30. Award is based on the lowest price technically acceptable criteria, with a strong emphasis on responsibility determinations including a review of the contractor's Experience Modification Rate and OSHA/EPA safety records from the previous three years. Compliance with the Buy American Act and Davis-Bacon Act wage determinations is required. Final acceptance requires on-site testing witnessed by the Contracting Officer's Representative and the submission of certified OEM sweep test tags and as-installed drawings.
