Z1DA--612A4-19-016 | Renovate Outpatient Pharmacy and HVAC

The contract pertains to the renovation of the Outpatient Pharmacy and HVAC systems at the Mather VA Medical Center in Sacramento, California, under solicitation number 36C26126R0036 and project designation Z1DA--612A4-19-016. The work scope includes full demolition, construction, and installation of new systems to enhance circulation, patient delivery, accessibility, and operational efficiency while addressing congestion, with a total contract performance period of 540 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. This period explicitly includes two 45-day VA relocation phases—for moving pharmacy services into temporary facilities and later returning them to the renovated Building 650—with contract completion defined as the final restoration of the site and removal of temporary structures, not merely the acceptance of the renovated suite. The construction start date is defined as the commencement of on-site work, including temporary facility construction, and all construction-phase submittals must be fully approved prior to this date; closeout items such as O&M manuals and as-built drawings are excluded from this requirement. The project is set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), with mandatory verification through the VetCert database and compliance with VAAR and FAR clauses governing representation, bonding, and subcontracting support for veteran-owned firms. Contractors must adhere to strict packaging and labeling standards for all materials, including original sealed manufacturer packaging, detailed marking with manufacturer, type, color, production run, and date, and specific requirements for door hardware and security assemblies. The contract demands a detailed Divisional Cost Break-Out across all 17 work divisions, including overhead and profit, with total costs matching the contract price and a Schedule of Values approved by the COR prior to construction. Monthly progress payments are tied to approved estimates submitted electronically using VA templates and contingent upon the submittal of updated project schedules in both PDF and native software formats, along with a listing of all schedule changes. The contractor must maintain a full-time Contractor Quality Control (CQC) team on-site, including designated Safety and Health Manager, CQC System Manager, and Design Quality Manager, plus specialized “Competent Person” personnel across multiple disciplines. All work must comply with ADAAD standards, Buy American requirements, and strict security protocols, with information provided by the VA limited to contract purposes under FAR 52.227-14(d)(1). Mandatory submissions include a phased schedule not exceeding four pages, a supplementary narrative confirming construction duration commitment,
