X1AA--HAWAII - HILO VET CENTER - RELOCATION

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through the General Services Administration, is soliciting proposals under solicitation 36C24W23R0031 to lease up to 3,844 square feet of contiguous clinical space for a Vet Center in Hilo, Hawaii. The government seeks a fully serviced lease for a 20-year term, including a 10-year firm period. The lessor is responsible for providing utilities, janitorial services, basic cable, guest high-speed Wi-Fi, and the monitoring and maintenance of security and CCTV systems. Specific facility requirements include ADA-compliant restrooms, a sound masking system in common and group areas, and a 50 AMP exterior outlet to support a Mobile Vet Center. The project must adhere to Facility Security Level II standards, requiring specific security countermeasures and quarterly system testing. Technical requirements include the use of licensed professionals for architecture and engineering, with low-voltage designers requiring BICSI certification. Proposals will be evaluated based on a best value tradeoff, where technical factors—including facility design, site characteristics, past performance, and experience—are significantly more important than price. Offerors must submit separate technical and price proposals, with technical submissions limited to 300 pages and plans provided in AutoCAD .DWG format. Compliance with seismic safety standards, NFPA 101 or IBC egress requirements, and SAM registration is mandatory for award and payment.
