Amendment C1DA--A/E Services Replace Patient Lifts B331, B348, & B360 Project Number: 640A0-27-103

Solicitation 36C26126Q1139 is a call for SF 330s from architectural and engineering firms to provide design services for the replacement and installation of 141 new ceiling-mounted patient lifts and the extension of 24 existing lifts for full room and bathroom coverage. The project is located at the Palo Alto VA Medical Center, specifically within Community Living Center Buildings 331, 348, and 360. The scope of work includes comprehensive field surveys, structural seismic analysis, MEP and fire protection engineering, and the development of a phasing plan for occupied patient rooms. The selected firm will be responsible for delivering Revit BIM documents and specifications within 266 calendar days from the notice to proceed, with a construction budget not to exceed 16.4 million dollars. Additionally, the contract requires the firm to provide design support throughout a five-year construction period. This opportunity is set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) and requires strict adherence to subcontracting limitations, where no more than 50 percent of the amount paid by the government for services can be paid to firms that are not certified SDVOSBs or VOSBs. Evaluation for award is based on the submitted SF 330s, focusing on healthcare design experience, technical competence in California seismic requirements, capacity to meet schedules, and past performance. Offerors must submit their qualifications by September 28, 2026, including a signed certificate of compliance regarding subcontracting limitations. The final contract is intended to be a single firm-fixed-price award.
