B. Contractor shall furnish all labor and materials needed to perform all surveying, demolition, surface preparation, and installation required by this scope and attached specifications.

C. Visits to the site by bidders may be made only by appointment with the Contracting Officer (CO) for the project. A preliminary/pre-proposal site visit is strongly encouraged and shall be coordinated with the Contractors Officers Representative (COR).

D. Location of work; the geographic location for service(s) are the following areas:

E. The contractor shall assume that there are no staging areas available within the facility premises. If necessary, staging areas may be put into effect at the discretion of the COR, depending on availability. The Contractor shall note that there is absolutely NO Contractor employee parking in Patient Parking Only designated areas. VANCHCS will not invalidate or make reimbursement for parking violations for the Contractor under any conditions.

F. Schedule of work; all work shall be performed during normal working hours from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday (not including observed holidays). Contractor may submit a formal request to the VA Contracting Officer (CO) a minimum of three (3) working days in advance for approval to work off hours.

G. The VA will allow the Contractor to close off one parking lot at a time. The Contractor shall provide their own parking lot closure signage and barriers notifying the public of the parking lot closure and detours to other available parking. The Contractor shall phase the project to complete an entire parking lot for reopening before requesting authorization to proceed to close the next parking lot for construction.

H. The sequence of parking lost closures shall be Building 88 Lot (VA101), Building 98 North Lot (VA102), and Building 98 South Lot (VA103).

I. The contractor shall dispose of all components demolished or replaced as part of this project.

2. SCOPE OF WORK

A. The contractor shall survey the existing features of three VA McClellan Clinic parking lots at the McClellan campus. The survey should be detailed enough to capture widths and lengths of each parking stall by capturing their border striping, as well as crosswalks, directional arrows, texts, access aisles, and striped “no stopping” zones. Provide the VA COR with that report for their records.

B. The approximate square footage of the project work areas is as follows:

· Building 88 Lot – 21,117 square feet

· Additional Street Parking – 1,440 square feet

· Additional Crosswalk feature – 780 square feet

· Building 98 North Lot – 34,254 square feet

· Building 98 South Lot – 36,538 square feet

These are shown in the attached Reference Drawings. This is a brief description of the estimated quantities. These quantities are for informational purposes only and are based on the best information available at the time of the Scope of Work preparation.

C. The Contractor shall develop a striping plan based on their survey report to meet the requirements shown on the Reference Drawings, as best as possible. The intent of the striping plan is to confirm minimum parking stall widths and access aisles are met for new striping.

D. For each parking lot closure, Contractor shall provide VA with a Signage and Barrier plan. The plans shall be diagrammatic and show where signage and barriers are to be placed. The plans shall show the content of the signage, as well as dimensions. The plans shall also show barrier material and dimensions. The intent of the Signage and Barrier plans are to confirm that there is enough information to direct drivers to available parking and prevent unintended access to the construction sites.

E. Generally, the sequence of work shall be as follows:

a. After VA has approved the Contractor’s Striping and Signage and Barrier plans, Contractor shall close one parking lot at a time by placing signage and barriers at each entry/exit point.

b. Once Contractor has placed their signage and barriers, they shall remove all existing striping to expose the asphalt. The Contractor shall clean the surface, including removing oil spots, and fill cracks with sealant.

c. After VA has inspected the surface preparation and find it satisfactory, Contractor shall apply two layers of sealcoat throughout, and a third layer in drive aisles. Contractor shall allow each layer to be properly cured (per manufacturer’s instructions) before applying the next layer.

d. Once all sealcoat layers have been applied and cured, Contractor shall mark up the surface with chalk showing striping per their VA approved Striping Plan. VA shall inspect and accept the chalk mark ups before Contractor applies striping.

e. Once striping has been cured, the Contractor shall remove their signage and barriers and reopen the parking lot before closing the next parking lot.

The process above shall be repeated until all three parking lots are completed and reopened.

F. The Contractor shall hold weekly meetings via Teams with VA to discuss project progress their three-week look ahead schedule.

G. The Contractor shall be responsible for the administration and management of all aspects of this SOW. This includes responsibility for all Contractor employees, Subcontractors, Agents, and anyone acting for or on behalf of the Contractor.

H. This project is to take no longer than 90 calendar days from notice to proceed (NTP).

I. Awardee will utilize ProCore for their submittals and RFIs.

J. Only the Contracting Officer is authorized to modify the contract.

6. SYSTEM FOR AWARD MANAGEMENT (SAM): Federal Acquisition Regulations require that federal contractors register in the System for Award Management (SAM) database at https://sam.gov/SAM/ and enter all mandatory information into the system. Award cannot be made until the contractor has been registered. Offerors must ensure that they are registered in SAM prior to submitting their quote. (See FAR 4.1102).

System updates may lag policy updates. The System for Award Management (SAM) may continue to require entities to complete representations based on provisions that are not included in agency solicitations. Examples include 52.222-25, Affirmative Action Compliance, and paragraph (d) of 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications—Commercial Products and Commercial Services. Contracting officers will not consider these representations when making award decisions or enforce requirements. Entities are not required to, nor are they able to, update their entity registration to remove these representations in SAM.

7. ADDITIONAL SBA INFORMATION:

(a) Eligibility of SDVOSBs continues to be governed by the Small Business Administration regulations, 13 CFR subparts 125.8 through 125.13, as well as the FAR, except where expressly directed otherwise by the VAAR, and 38 CFR verification regulations for SDVOSBs.

(b) At the time of submission of offer, the offeror must represent to the contracting officer that it is a—

(1) SDVOSB concern

(2) Small business concern under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code assigned to the acquisition; and

(3) Offerors must be verified in the SBA Veteran Small Business Certification Program as an SDVOSB to be eligible for an award. The Contracting Officer (CO) will use the SBA Dynamic Small Business Search (SBA DSBS) (https://dsbs.sba.gov/search/dsp_dsbs.cfm ) to verify SDVOSB status until further guidance is provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs.

(c) A joint venture may be considered an SDVOSB or VOSB concern if

(1) At least one member of the joint venture is an SDVOSB or VOSB concern, and makes the representations in paragraph (b) of this section;

(2) Each other concern is small under the size standard corresponding to the NAICS code assigned to the procurement;

(3) The joint venture meets the requirements of paragraph 7 of the size standard explanation of affiliates in FAR 19.101; and

(4) The joint venture meets the requirements of 13 CFR 125.15(b), modified to include Veteran-owned small businesses where this CFR section refers to SDVOSB concerns.

(d) Any SDVOSB or VOSB concern (nonmanufacturer) must meet the requirements in FAR 19.102(f) to receive a benefit under this program.

8. VETS 4212:

Title 38, USC Section 4212(d), codified at 41 CFR Section 61-300, requires that federal contractors report, at least annually, the number and category of veterans who are within their workforce. Submission of the VETS-4212 reporting information can be done electronically at: http://www.dol.gov/vets/vets4212.htm. Award cannot be made unless the awardee has filed their VETS-4212 report. Therefore, all offerors are encouraged to file every year. The Contracting Officer may request a copy of the email confirmation of receipt notification, prior to awarding the project.

9. JOINT VENTURES: See 13 C.F.R. § 121.103(h)

(h) Affiliation based on joint ventures. A joint venture is an association of individuals and/or concerns with interests in any degree or proportion consorting to engage in and carry out no more than three specific or limited-purpose business ventures for joint profit over a two year period, for which purpose they combine their efforts, property, money, skill, or knowledge, but not on a continuing or permanent basis for conducting business generally.

This means that a specific joint venture entity generally may not be awarded more than three contracts over a two-year period, starting from the date of the award of the first contract, without the partners to the joint venture being deemed affiliated for all purposes. Once a joint venture receives one contract, SBA will determine compliance with the three awards in two years rule for future awards as of the date of initial offer including price.

As such, an individual joint venture may be awarded more than three contracts without SBA finding general affiliation between the joint venture partners where the joint venture had received two or fewer contracts as of the date it submitted one or more additional offers which thereafter result in one or more additional contract awards. The same two (or more) entities may create additional joint ventures, and each new joint venture entity may be awarded up to three contracts in accordance with this section. At some point, however, such a longstanding inter-relationship or contractual dependence between the same joint venture partners will lead to a finding of general affiliation between and among them.

For purposes of this provision and in order to facilitate tracking of the number of contract awards made to a joint venture, a joint venture must be in writing and must do business under its own name, and it may (but need not) be in the form of a separate legal entity, and if it is a separate legal entity it may (but need not) be populated (i.e., have its own separate employees). SBA may also determine that the relationship between a prime contractor and its subcontractor is a joint venture, and that affiliation between the two exists, pursuant to paragraph (h)(4) of this section.

10. NOTICE TO PROCEED (NTP): A notice to proceed (NTP) must be issued after award of a fully executed contract. The NTP date and time are “to be determined” after award to a successful offeror. Primary factor in determination to issue NTP must be the Prime Contractor submission of, and the Government review and approval of both Payment and Performance Bonds, both of which are enforceable legal documents.

11 . SECURITY REQUIREMENTS (GENERAL):

1. All personnel employed by the contractor in the performance of work, issued under this contract, or any representative of the contractor must abide by all security instructions and directives of the Department of Veterans Affairs. Employees are responsible for safeguarding all government property provided for contractor use.

1. At the close for each work period, government facilities, equipment and materials must be secured, lights, and all doors and window secured.

1. The contractor and, as applicable, subcontractor must not employ persons for work on this contract if such employee is identified as a potential threat to the health, safety, security, general well-being or operational mission of the station/campus and its population, nor must the contractor or subcontractor employ persons under this contract who have an outstanding criminal warrant as identified during background checks.

1. Contractors must ensure their employees and those of their subcontracts have the proper credentials allowing them to work in the United States. Employees and subcontractors later found to be undocumented or illegal aliens will be remanded to the proper authorities.

1. Contractor Badge Policies: All requests for contractor ID badges will be submitted through the station COR, and Police/Security office.

1. Vehicle registration, proof of insurance and a valid driver’s license must be presented for all vehicles while operating on the station/campus. All vehicles entering the station/campus are subject to search. Any refusal or non-consent by an employee will result in termination of their access and immediate confiscation of their ID badge.

12. BACKGROUND INVESTIGATIONS AND SPECIAL AGREEMENT CHECKS:

All contractor employees are subject to the same level of investigation as VA employees who have access to VA Sensitive Information. The level of background investigation commensurate with the level of access needed to perform the statement of work is: Low Risk. This requirement is applicable to all subcontractor personnel requiring the same access. As per VA Directive 0710, costs of background investigations will be borne by the contractor.

13. REFERENCES TO VA ENGINEER, RESIDENT ENGINEER OR PROJECT MANAGER:

Any reference contained within the solicitation/contract specifications and/or drawings to the “VA Engineer,” “Resident Engineer,” or “Project Manager” or their abbreviations shall be replaced with “Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR).”
