The Department of Veterans Affairs is procuring site preparation services for the installation of new equipment in the Cath Lab at the VA Medical Center in West Roxbury, Massachusetts, under solicitation 36C24125R0074. This is a Firm-Fixed-Price Design-Build contract with a total performance period of 310 calendar days following the Notice-to-Proceed, requiring the contractor to complete all demolition, architectural, mechanical, electrical, and construction work including flooring, ceilings, casework, doors, lighting, and electrical systems, while strictly adhering to Infection Control Risk Assessment and Interim Life Safety Measures protocols. The project is governed by the NAICS code 236220 with a size standard of $45 million in annual receipts, and while originally set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, recent amendments have opened competition to all small business concerns. The procurement follows a two-phase selection process defined by FAR Subpart 36.101-2, with Phase I focusing on the evaluation of experience, technical approach, and past performance, and Phase II incorporating price as a factor equal in weight to the combined technical factors, using a best-value trade-off approach rather than a lowest-price technically acceptable methodology. Offerors must submit technical and price proposals in two separately bound electronic volumes with strict formatting requirements including Arial 12-point font, single spacing, and page limits of 30 and 20 pages respectively, and must comply with VA-specific clauses incorporating the most stringent applicable codes including NFPA 70, NFPA 99, GSA specifications, and FGI Guidelines for Healthcare Facilities. All work must be performed on-site at the VA Boston West Roxbury campus, with inspections and final acceptance conducted at the construction location by the Contracting Officer’s Representative. The contractor is required to comply with federal regulations including 49 CFR 173 and 172 for hazardous material packaging and marking, and must maintain compliance with OSHA standards, USACE EM 385-1-1, and the ASSP A10.34 standard. Key personnel including the project manager, design and construction supervisors, and licensed professional engineers must be identified with submitted resumes and remain assigned for the duration of the project without substitution without prior written approval. All personnel requiring long-term facility access must obtain a PIV card through a NACI background check and SAC adjudication.
