This initiative aims to address and rectify electrical deficiencies identified at the Altoona VA Medical Center, located at 2907 Pleasant Valley Blvd, Altoona, PA 16602. The project is part of the VA’s ongoing commitment to maintaining safe, compliant, and modern facilities for veterans and staff.
The scope of work encompasses comprehensive construction services to replace and correct electrical deficiencies as detailed in the project’s drawings and specifications. Contractors will be responsible for providing all necessary tools, travel, trades, labor, materials, permits, licenses, and supervision required to execute the project. All work must adhere to applicable codes, VA policies and standards, and the terms outlined in the contract. The expected period of performance for this project is 18 months from the issuance of the Notice to Proceed, reflecting an updated duration from the original 365 days as clarified in Amendment 1.
The procurement is being conducted as a Request for Proposal (RFP) under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 15, with the government specifically seeking offers from qualified Small Businesses. The NAICS code assigned to this opportunity is 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with a small business size standard of $45 million in average annual receipts over the past three years. The estimated magnitude of construction cost ranges between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000, indicating a substantial and complex project suitable for experienced contractors in the commercial and institutional building sector.
Key requirements include strict compliance with VA standards and applicable building codes, as well as the provision of all necessary resources to complete the electrical corrections. Contractors must be registered in the System Award Management (SAM) database at the time of bid submission. All solicitation documents, amendments, and related notices will be made available exclusively through the SAM.gov website; hard copies will not be distributed. It is the responsibility of interested parties to monitor the website for updates and to ensure timely access to all relevant materials.
A pre-bid conference and site visit will be scheduled approximately one week after the solicitation is posted, with specific details to be provided in the solicitation documents. This will offer prospective bidders an opportunity to review the site conditions and clarify any questions regarding the scope and requirements.
All inquiries related to this solicitation must be submitted in writing via email to the primary contact, Kaitlyn V Szlachta ([email protected]). Telephone requests will not be honored.
