Z1DA--402-24-007 B200E Lobby Flooring

This Department of Veterans Affairs solicitation is for the replacement of approximately 4,650 square feet of lobby flooring at facility B200E in Togus, Maine. The anticipated contract, under NAICS code 238330, is managed by the 241-Network Contract Office 01, with responses due by July 25, 2025. The VA has clarified that no asbestos abatement is required for this project, as recent testing as of April 2024 showed no hazardous materials in the existing floor, despite conflicting specification references. The scope of work will be conducted in occupied areas, necessitating phased execution and consideration of noise and vibration limitations, particularly during demolition. Off-hours work should be anticipated as part of project planning. Staffing requirements stipulate that a qualified Project Superintendent can simultaneously serve as Safety and Health Officer (SSHO) or as Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC), but cannot hold all three roles concurrently. The past performance submission process allows the use of relevant and recent project references—completed within the last five years and similar in scope—with completed task orders from multi-year contracts considered acceptable. Use of hard construction barriers, including STARC panels, are permitted for infection control compliance. Additional clarifications confirm that flu vaccination compliance for health care personnel is not required for this on-site construction contract. The most recent Statement of Work is to be used, regardless of header dates, and some solicitation clauses like 52.211-18 do not apply. The primary point of contact is Contract Specialist Diane C. Davis.
