Y1LZ--Parking Ramp Expansion (Minor) Construction Buffalo - Project 528-375

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, intends to award a single firm-fixed-price contract for the Design-Bid-Build Parking Ramp Expansion at the Buffalo VA Medical Center. This project involves constructing a two-level vertical expansion atop the existing three-level parking structure, including a new stair tower with two elevators servicing the entire garage height. Additional scope includes reconfiguring adjacent parking, drop-off areas, and roadways, installing a solar array canopy, and providing off-campus parking to mitigate the loss of on-campus spaces during construction. The contractor must secure at least two parking lots, located within a 15-minute drive north and south of the Buffalo VAMC, to accommodate impacted parking throughout the project duration. The solicitation will be issued as a Request for Proposal under a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside, with evaluation and award procedures governed by FAR Parts 15, 19, and 36. The NAICS code applicable to this opportunity is 236220, with a size standard of $45 million. The anticipated project value is between $20 million and $50 million, and the performance period is approximately 730 calendar days following the Notice to Proceed. The solicitation is planned for release in January 2025, and all questions must be submitted in writing to the designated contract specialist, Thomas Council, with no telephone inquiries permitted.
