C1DA--Project 621-22-107 - A/E (AJP) Modernize Bldg. 108 Boiler Plant & Systems at the James H. Quillen VA Medical Center 37

Project 621-22-107 is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside contract awarded by the Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contract Office 9. The project involves comprehensive architectural and engineering services to modernize the approximately 11,000 square foot boiler plant and systems at the James H. Quillen VA Medical Center in Mountain Home, Tennessee. With a construction budget of 18,029,121.00 dollars, the scope of work includes the replacement of all existing boilers, piping, and supporting systems, as well as necessary repairs to the existing facility. A critical component of the design phase is a study to determine the optimal boiler plant design based on historical operating data and future growth expectations to ensure required operating capacity. In addition to the boiler plant modernization, the contract covers the decommissioning and demolition of a 3.2MW generator, a heat recovery steam generator, and associated supporting systems. The project further requires the installation of a new medium voltage main distribution switchgear within the energy center. Managed under solicitation 36C24922R0030 and NAICS code 541330, the procurement process included a rigorous evaluation of architect and engineering firms through SF330 submissions and past performance questionnaires to ensure quality of service and schedule adherence.
