Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), through its PCAC office, is soliciting proposals for the EHRM Infrastructure Upgrades Construction project (Project 673-20-107) at the James A Haley Veterans Hospital in Tampa, FL. This is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Set-Aside with an estimated value between $20,000,000 and $50,000,000. Proposals are due by March 26, 2026, at 1:00 PM EST.
Scope of Work
This project involves comprehensive general construction, infrastructure upgrades, and renovation of existing spaces within the hospital. Key upgrades include electrical systems, bonding, UPS, building management system interfaces, HVAC, communication, physical security, and fiber infrastructure backbone. The scope also covers Data Center WAN updates and hazardous material abatement. Work may impact roads, walks, grading, drainage, and other existing utilities. The project requires phased construction in an active healthcare setting. Notably, the use of "Johnson Controls Direct Digital Controls" for HVAC is a justified brand-name requirement due to existing infrastructure and standardization needs. Detailed specifications and drawings are provided across numerous attachments, covering architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, technology, civil, and life safety systems, including Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) plans and asbestos sampling results.
