Project 619A4-23-105 - Renovate Building 10

Project 619A4-23-105 is a firm-fixed-price construction contract issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs to renovate Building 10 at the Central Alabama Veterans Health Care System East Campus in Tuskegee, Alabama. The primary objective is to create a secure, code-compliant facility to house Community Care and Call Center operations, featuring sound baffling to ensure patient privacy and support for MISSION Act staffing requirements. The scope of work is comprehensive, encompassing hazardous material abatement, demolition, structural replacement, and exterior restoration to support Whole Health and Telehealth outpatient programs. The project has an estimated magnitude between 10 million and 25 million dollars, with a performance period of 558 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. This procurement is 100 percent set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), with a specific limitation that the contractor may not pay more than 85 percent of the government-paid amount to non-certified SDVOSBs. Award selection is based on a tradeoff analysis of best value, where past performance is weighted as significantly more important than price. Offerors must meet strict safety and insurance criteria, including a specific Experience Modification Rate and a limited history of OSHA or EPA violations. The contract requires a bid guarantee of at least 20 percent of the proposal price, capped at 3 million dollars, and mandates full payment and performance bonds for awards exceeding 150,000 dollars. Invoicing must be processed electronically through the Tungsten Network and the Veterans Affairs Financial Services Center.
