About this file

This is Amendment 0003 to Solicitation 36C24826Q0450, issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 8 (NCO 8) in Tampa, Florida for a construction project at VAMC Cape Coral. The amendment extends the quote due date to July 21, 2026 at 1:00 PM EDT, provides responses to 17 Requests for Information (RFIs) submitted by prospective offerors, and includes an updated Davis-Bacon wage determination dated May 18, 2026. The project involves installing alternate connections for steam and chilled water systems to support temporary/mobile equipment at the Lee County Health Care Clinic without disrupting hospital operations, with an estimated project value between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000.

Key RFI responses clarify construction specifications and requirements, including: use of new chilled water taps per plans rather than existing drops; work hours of 0700–1700; Johnson Controls as the preferred vendor; Davis-Bacon welder pay rates assigned by craft (ironworker for structural steel, sheet metal worker for HVAC, plumber/pipefitter for piping); nondestructive testing of 50 percent of the first 10 welds and 10 percent of additional welds; requirement for a dedicated Safety and Health Official (SSHO) and submission of a contract-specific Quality Assurance/Quality Control plan within 30 days of Notice to Proceed; piping routing specifications (below pergola deck, under awnings); and clarification on ATS pad installation and gas piping dimensions (4 inches, 130 feet). The project is not tax-exempt and requires compliance with FAR Clause 52.229-3 and applicable Davis-Bacon wage determinations.
