Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically the Boise VA Medical Center in Boise, ID, is planning a Firm Fixed-Price construction project to renovate and expand its Emergency Room (ER). This opportunity is 100% set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB). The project magnitude is estimated between $10,000,000 and $20,000,000. An Invitation for Request for Proposals (RFP) is anticipated to be posted on July 15, 2026, with a response date of July 10, 2026.
Scope of Work
The project, identified as 531-25-102 Expand Emergency Room, involves renovating 10,700 square feet within Building 85, first floor. The existing 5,700 square foot ER will be expanded and reconfigured to 8,900 square feet. Adjacent functions (Admitting Office, corridors, ER waiting) occupying 1,800 square feet will also be reconfigured and relocated. The work will be accomplished in two phases: Phase 1 involves demolition and rebuilding the existing Purple Team clinic while the current ER remains active, and Phase 2 involves demolition and rebuilding the entire area into one larger continuous ER. Work includes, but is not limited to, demolition, structural modifications, new wall systems, flooring, painting, ceiling systems, windows, architectural finishes, millwork, mechanical (HVAC, hydronic, digital control), plumbing, medical gas, patient lifts, fireproofing, electrical, telecommunications, nurse call, security, fire alarm, fire protection sprinkler work, and potential asbestos/lead abatement.
