Y1BG--Campus Wide Camera (Construction)

The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking bids for the Campus Wide Camera (Construction) project at the Richmond V.A. Medical Center under solicitation number 36C24626B0024, with a planned contract award based on the lowest evaluated price for a firm-fixed-price construction contract. The work involves the complete replacement of the campus-wide security surveillance system, including demolition of existing infrastructure, installation of new cameras, cabling, and associated equipment, all in compliance with detailed specifications and drawings. The project is strictly set aside for certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs), with eligibility contingent upon verification in the SBA’s certification database and active registration in the System for Award Management with a valid Unique Entity Identifier. Only SDVOSBs that meet these pass/fail criteria will be considered, and bids will be evaluated solely on price without consideration of past performance or technical merit. The estimated project value ranges between $2 million and $5 million, with a base performance period of 365 days from Notice to Proceed, and two alternate bid options with accelerated timelines of 300 and 255 days respectively that reduce the number of exterior and interior camera fixtures. All work must comply with strict infection control, asbestos handling, and safety standards, including adherence to the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design and Buy American requirements for construction materials. The contractor must furnish performance and payment bonds, maintain required insurance coverage—including general liability, automobile liability, and workers’ compensation—and ensure that all personnel complete VA privacy and cybersecurity training. Materials must be delivered in original manufacturer packaging, clearly labeled with manufacturer, product type, batch number, and manufacturing date, and stored under controlled conditions to prevent damage. Final acceptance requires formal inspections with contractor representation, and non-compliance may result in billing for additional government inspection costs. Submittals must be made electronically via email following strict format, file type, and size limitations, with bids due by 3:00 PM EDT on May 20, 2026, for questions and by 1:00 PM EDT on June 5, 2026, for proposals, submitted to the Contracting Officer Moses Deng at the designated VA email address.
