Y1DA--NRM 630-24-105 Conduct Duct Bank Survey

The contract is for the Conduct Duct Bank Survey at the Northport Veterans Affairs Medical Center, specifically targeting the assessment of electrical conduit systems across approximately 75 buildings fed by five 13.2 KV circuits. The work involves a detailed visual inspection of twenty designated electrical manholes—P7 through P20B—with the potential for up to five additional manholes to be investigated based on field conditions, triggering a formal Request for Information to the Contracting Officer and Contracting Officer Representative. Contractors are required to dewater and clear drains as needed, and must deliver comprehensive as-built drawings in both PDF and AutoCAD formats upon completion. The entire scope must be executed within eight weeks of Notice to Proceed, with at least 25% of the work anticipated to occur after regular hours due to weather and unforeseen site conditions. Work is prohibited on federal holidays unless explicitly directed by the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer Representative serves as the primary on-site point of contact with full authority to coordinate access, conduct in-progress field inspections in the presence of contractor personnel, and approve any service interruptions—requiring written email notification at least two weeks in advance. Payment is contingent on the completion of these inspections, with final payments only issued after the Department of Veterans Affairs accepts all closeout documentation submitted no later than 30 days after project completion. Contractors must strictly adhere to specified technical standards including 01 00 00 General Requirements, 01 35 26 Safety Requirements, 26 08 00 Commissioning of Electrical Systems, 26 05 26 Ground and Bonding for Electrical Systems, and the NFPA 11 2018 Health Care Facilities Code. All records generated during the contract are designated Federal records subject to the Federal Records Act, Privacy Act of 1974, and Freedom of Information Act, with unauthorized disclosure or destruction of records strictly prohibited. The contract is set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Concerns under NAICS Code 236220, and all bidders are required to attend a mandatory site walkthrough prior to submission. Failure to comply with any provision may result in immediate corrective action, work stoppage, or default status.
