VA Sierra Nevada Health Care System Building 1 Seismic Upgrade & Clinical Expansion, Reno, Nevada

Update - The solictation # should read W91238-18-R-0043. Please reference the solicitation with the "R" when making inquiries to the project. The Sacramento District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has an upcoming project for the renovation of the VA Health Care System Clinic located in Reno, Nevada. The acquisition will proceed using a best-value tradeoff source selection scheme and will result in a design-bid-build, firm-fixed-price construction contract. This project includes the full renovation of approximately 98,400 gross square fee (GSF) of Building 1, by seismically correcting the building, correcting all facility conditions assessment deficiencies and demolishing a portion of the building. In addition, the project will construct an approximate 166,000 GSF clinical expansion to correct space deficiencies. Approximately 50,000 GSF of the Building 1 will be demolished to ensure enough space will be available for the expansion. Upon completion, Building 1 will be transformed into a modern structure supporting healthcare form veterans. The Government anticipates the following challenges (however, there may be other challenges, not listed): 1. The constrained site of the Reno campus will create a significant space challenge as there is likely not adequate space on the Reno Medical Center campus for contractor operations such as contractor trailers, subcontractor trailers, staging, parking, laydown areas, and construction traffic patterns. 2. Similarly, the Contractor must manage a just-in-time delivery scheme for materials delivered to the work site due to the limited space. 3. The VA Reno Medical Center is an active hospital. The successful contractor must comply with various industrial hygiene standards applicable to medical centers to accommodate patient needs while making continuous progress. Work will be occurring adjacent to active patient areas. The site visit/pre-proposal conference date, time and location will be identified in the solicitation. The solicitation is anticipated to be advertised between late June to early July of 2018.
