- Optimization of workflow and operational efficiency.

- Provision, installation, setup, testing, and certification of temporary OR trailers to serve as interim surgical facilities during phased construction. The General Contractor (GC) is responsible for all associated costs.
- Renovation and upgrade of adjacent support and auxiliary areas.
- Integration of specific brand-name-or-equal items, including Fortress stainless steel wall systems, SLD Technology Modular Ceiling Systems, Johnson Controls programming and controls, Secutron Fire Alarm System, HID PIV Card Reader System, and relocation of a Swiss Log Pneumatic Tube system.
- Detailed specifications cover architectural, structural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, telecommunications, fire alarm, ICRA, finishes, doors, equipment, and controls. Site preparation for Philips medical imaging equipment (Azurion 7 C20 FlexArm) is also required.
Contract Details & Requirements
The contract has a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) structure with a 500-calendar day period of performance. Bid, payment, and performance bonds are mandatory, with a bid guarantee of 20% of the bid price or $3,000,000, whichever is less. A minimum two-year warranty is required for all materials, equipment, and installation. Offerors must comply with subcontracting limitations, ensuring no more than 85% of the general construction contract amount (excluding materials) is paid to non-VIP-listed SDVOSBs or VOSBs.
Submission & Evaluation
Proposals, consisting of both technical and price components, must be submitted via email only to charee.harris@va.gov by February 23, 2026, at 10:00 AM Pacific Time. Hard copies are not required. Offerors must have an active Unique Entity Identification (UEI) number, be current in the System for Award Management (SAM), and be Certified Veteran Eligibility (CVE) verified. Key personnel evaluation considers projects over $20 million as relevant, and 10 years of construction experience can substitute for a degree for the CQC System Manager. An Experience Modification Rate (EMR) of 1.0 or less, along with a safety and environmental record certification, is required. Evaluation will use a tradeoff source selection procedure, prioritizing technical/management approach, then past performance, and finally cost/price.
Key Clarifications
Recent amendments and RFI responses have provided significant clarifications, including specific requirements for wall types, AISC certification waivers, existing C-Cure 9000 access control system, fire extinguisher cabinet types, and Avigilon camera system details (contractor installs cameras/cabling, government integrates software).
