The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 21, is seeking a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) to perform a facility upgrade at the VA Sierra Nevada Health Care System in Reno, Nevada, involving the relocation and enhancement of power systems for water pumps in Building 12’s basement. The contractor must install emergency power, transfer existing normal power to the motor control center (MCC), and install a manual transfer switch (MTS) to address critical system deficiencies where no emergency backup currently exists. All work must comply fully with the VA Technical Information Library (TIL), the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Electrical Design Manual, and current safety codes, with strict adherence to OSHA standards and facility Lock-Out-Tag-Out (LOTO) procedures. The General Contractor’s designated superintendent must hold a 30-hour OSHA construction safety certification, and all on-site personnel, including subcontractors, must possess a 10-hour OSHA certification. The project must be executed within 180 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with standard work hours limited to Monday through Friday, 0700 to 1700, excluding federal holidays, though weekend or night work is permitted if it incurs no additional cost to the government. The contractor is required to submit a detailed project schedule, including materials, labor, and milestones, within two weeks of the Notice to Proceed, along with a Schedule of Values (SOV) within 14 days of the start date. Prior to any facility outages, the contractor must provide advanced notice to the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). Upon completion, the contractor must conduct comprehensive quality inspections before and after turnover, deliver an in-person training session and user manual for the new systems, and update panel schedules, red lines, and one-line diagrams as needed. A one-year warranty on all materials and workmanship is mandatory, and the contractor must demonstrate an Experience Modification Rate (EMR) of 1.0 or lower through insurance documentation. The contract is a firm-fixed-price arrangement with an estimated value between $250,000 and $500,000. All offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM), have current Representations and Certifications filed, and be certified in the SBA VetCert database, with SDVOSB status verified through the SBA Dynamic Small Business Search.
