Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically the G.V. Sonny Montgomery VA Medical Center in Jackson, MS, is planning a Firm-Fixed Price construction contract for the Renovation of the Nutrition and Food Service Kitchen (Project 586-22-104). This opportunity is a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Set-Aside. The project aims to modernize the existing 12,000 square foot kitchen, increase capacity to serve 150 beds, and add administrative office space.
Scope of Work
The renovation involves comprehensive work including complete demolition of the existing interior, replacement of slab penetrations, and installation of new plumbing, electrical, HVAC systems, walls, finishes, cabinetry, sinks, and equipment. A critical component is the provision of a temporary leased or fabricated mobile kitchen to house operations (prep, tray assembly, dishwashing) during construction, complete with utility connections, vent hood, HVAC, and additional storage units (dry, walk-in cooler/freezer). All construction must adhere to the latest JCAHO, NFPA, OSHA, and life safety requirements, as well as specific VA standards and building codes (NFPA 101, IBC 2015, ANSI A17.1 2016, ADA 2010, NEC, etc.). The contractor is responsible for dust control, infectious disease control, and patching/repairing any damage to adjacent areas.
