Y1DA--534-26-3-5788-0016 / 534-25-102 Renovate Canteen Kitchen PH2 / (VA-26-00031573)

The contract is for the renovation of a 1,300-square-foot canteen kitchen at the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center in Charleston, South Carolina, under Project Number 534-25-102, with the solicitation number 36C24726R0073. The project involves demolition of existing front-line grill hoods, fire suppression systems, exhaust fans, and associated ductwork containing asbestos mastic, followed by the installation of new hoods, fire suppression systems, dedicated air handlers, exhaust fans, controls systems, and ductwork, with optimizations such as relocating the exhaust fan closer to the hood to minimize grease duct runs. Work must adhere to detailed construction drawings and specifications provided as attachments, and includes compliance with hazardous material handling protocols for asbestos and lead-based paint, as documented in the Hazmat Phase 2 report with appendices covering survey summaries, site diagrams, lab data, and inspector licensing. All materials must be delivered in manufacturer-sealed containers with proper labeling, protected during transport and storage from environmental and physical damage, and hazardous waste must be packaged in rigid, impermeable containers with accompanying waste shipment records. The contract is structured as a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) Construction Contract with a 180-day period of performance from the Notice to Proceed, excluding weekends and holidays, and is a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside under NAICS code 236220. The solicitation follows a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process per FAR 15.103-2 and VAAR 815, where proposals must first pass a technical evaluation as Acceptable before price is considered; any Unacceptable rating renders the proposal ineligible.
