This document outlines a solicitation for renovating a basement at a Veterans Health Administration facility. The solicitation will be posted on March 11, 2021 for renovating the basement of Building 1 at the VA Northern Indiana Health Care System campus in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The renovation will modernize the space to house Environmental Management Services, Biomed, Pharmacy, Mailroom, Engineering Services, Office of Information and Technology, Graduate Medical Education, and Medical Imaging. As the facility is an operating hospital, the contractor must phase the work over three stages from 300 to 270 days each to allow continued hospital services, with 30-day work stoppages between phases. The contractor will provide all labor, materials, and equipment to complete the renovations as designed and specified, including properly handling any asbestos or lead-based paint. The purpose of the project is to modernize systems and focus resources more efficiently to provide world-class service to veterans and employees.
