Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Program Contracting Activity Central (PCAC), anticipates soliciting bids for a Design-Bid-Build Upgrade Chiller Plant Construction project at the Northport VA Medical Center (VAMC) in Northport, NY. This will be a Firm-Fixed-Price Invitation for Bid (IFB), exclusively set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB). The project magnitude is estimated between $20,000,000 and $50,000,000, with the solicitation expected in early July 2026.
Project Scope
The work involves comprehensive general construction and alterations to the existing chiller plant. This includes the necessary removal of current building components and systems, followed by the construction and installation of new items. The project will be executed in two distinct phases; Phase 1 must be fully completed and operational, supporting the medical facility, before the Notice to Proceed for Phase 2 will be issued. A critical requirement is the installation and maintenance of a temporary chiller plant to ensure continuous support for the medical facility throughout the construction period. All temporary installations must remain in service until the new chiller plant's startup and final acceptance.
