Yountville Veterans Home Domiciliary Buildings Temporary Back-Up Power; Lincoln, Wilson, Roosevelt, Washington, Truman, Kennedy and Johnson Buildings

The project involves installing manual transfer switches at seven residential buildings—Lincoln, Wilson, Roosevelt, Washington, Truman, Kennedy, and Johnson Halls—on the Yountville Veterans’ Home campus to enable connection to portable generators for backup power. Each switch will be housed in a metal cabinet mounted on a concrete pad outside the building, with electrical conduit and wiring running from the switch to the building’s main electrical panel. Work will include trenching for exterior conduits, which may involve boring under walkways to minimize visual impact, followed by restoration of the surface with asphalt, landscape turf, shrubs, or concrete as needed. Conduit entries into the buildings will be placed low on the exterior walls and painted to blend with the surrounding surfaces, preserving the historic character of the structures, which are part of a designated historic district. All construction activities are designed to maintain the aesthetic integrity of the campus while ensuring functional emergency power access. The project is managed by the California Department of Veterans Affairs, with Danielle De Silva serving as the primary point of contact for construction and maintenance matters, and Nick Simonidis as the Project Director II. The solicitation is listed as a forecast with no set-aside designation, and the work is scheduled to take place at the Yountville campus in California. No formal solicitation number has been assigned, and the project details are available through the California CEQA Net portal.
