This is a Presolicitation for a Firm Fixed-Price contract with an estimated construction magnitude between $2,000,000 and $5,000,000.

Scope of Work

The selected A&E firm will provide professional A&E and healthcare planning services, including site investigations (architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, environmental), contract drawings and specifications, 3rd Party Cost Estimates, and construction period services. The project involves renovating the existing HVAC General Exhaust system in Building ONE, including cleaning and lining ductwork, designing infection control/dust prevention measures, and assessing/designing for asbestos abatement. The A&E firm must identify and correct fire and life safety deficiencies and ensure designs comply with VA guidelines, specifications, and sustainable design/energy reduction requirements, aiming for LEED Silver status. All designs must also address applicable Environmental/Occupational Safety and Health (EOSH) requirements.

Following evaluation, highly qualified firms will be interviewed, and the most qualified will receive a solicitation for proposal submission. This is not a Request for Proposal, and the government is not obligated to award a contract or reimburse submission costs.
