About this file
This document is a request for information tracking log and related federal contract opportunity solicitation for design-build services for police upgrades at two Department of Veterans Affairs medical centers. The solicitation seeks proposals for renovations including a ballistic-rated pass-through window, holding cell, and armory at the Viera OPC as well as addressing HVAC access at Lake Baldwin. Proposals are due in two phases, with phase one evaluating offerors to invite to phase two. The period of performance is 292 calendar days with 142 days for design and 150 for construction. The magnitude is between $250,000 and $500,000. The contractor must be a verified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business. The solicitation will use a two-phase design-build selection process and best value evaluation.
The tracking log contains 22 questions from potential offerors and responses from the contracting officer. Questions seek clarification on incumbent contractors, as-built drawings, finishes, security requirements, and more. The responses address these pre-solicitation inquiries.

Response
This is a brand-new requirement. There is no incumbent.
2. We would like a chance to bid on your division 12 Furnishing if there is any and when it is ready to go out to bid. I wanted to know where you would be listing this bid and if there is anything else we can do to help you, with our in-house design capabilities we can do construction documents, floor pans renderings and more.
Interior Fusion 06/01/2022
VA
Response
This is a design-build that will be awarded to one contractor for construction and design.
3. Please clarify if a superintendent can be a triple hat to cover the requirements of SSHO and
QA/QC?

VA
Response
Provided the superintendent has the required minimum 30-hour OSHA training and certifications to meet this requirement, a dedicated SSHO on-site at all times will likely not be necessary. However, for large scale construction activities such as rigging and placement activities, the contractor’s full-time and dedicated SSHO shall be onsite for those activities.
4. If no to the question above, will the SSHO need to be full-time for this project?
