The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, through the National Cemetery Administration, is seeking information from qualified firms or individuals to provide combined construction inspection and management support services for a Design-Build maintenance building project at Indiantown Gap National Cemetery in Annville, Pennsylvania.

The inspector will be expected to conduct daily site visits, verify compliance with construction documents, document deficiencies, take a minimum of ten progress photos per visit, maintain detailed reports, monitor materials and testing, support punch lists and closeout activities, and assist with review of contractor submittals, RFIs, schedules, invoices, and change orders. The role requires strong documentation skills, familiarity with construction standards for concrete, masonry, steel, and site work, and the ability to attend biweekly progress meetings and coordinate with stakeholders. The proposed inspector must have a minimum of five years of experience inspecting multi-million-dollar construction projects, with preference given to those experienced in federal projects and Design-Build delivery methods. Minimum qualifications include a background in construction management, civil engineering, architecture, or related fields, the ability to interpret technical documents and construction schedules, and knowledge of testing protocols. Preferred certifications include OSHA 30, ICC, NICET, CQM, or EIT. The individual must be able to be physically present on-site several days per week, with no housing provided; local residence or daily commuting is mandatory. Submission requirements include company details, business size classification, the inspector’s résumé, relevant project experience, and written confirmations of dual-role capability and on-site availability.
