C1AZ--657A4-26-105, Repair Boiler Plant Drainline

The contract pertains to the repair of a collapsed drainline beneath the basement floor of Building 7 at the John J. Pershing VA Medical Center in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, under solicitation number 36C25526R0061. This is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside procurement under NAICS code 541330 for engineering services, governed by the Brooks Act and FAR Subpart 36, with a Firm Fixed Price contract structure anticipated. The scope requires a qualified A/E firm to conduct comprehensive site investigations, verify existing conditions independent of as-built drawings, perform geotechnical analysis, and deliver a fully functional, code-compliant drainline system integrating mechanical, plumbing, electrical, fire protection, seismic, and life safety requirements in alignment with VA and federal standards, including PG-18-15 and Interagency Security Committee guidelines.
