Apogee-CEMS JV, LLC previously was awarded a competitively bid contract to furnish 100% Construction Documents for this project; however, the VA has a need to include the VA PDSM into the project in order to meet life safety and mission critical requirements of the facility. In addition, this project will require Construction Period Services which will allow for administration of this project throughout construction, utilizing this firm’s construction design documents.

Apogee-CEMS JV, LLC has the experience and technical knowledge to continue to perform these services, without the duplication of costs, labor efforts and unwarranted time delays. The 100% Construction Documents were completed by Apogee-CEMS JV for the original design of this project.

This procurement will be made under Other Than Full and Open Competition as authorized by the Federal Acquisition Regulation, FAR 6.302-1; Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. A Notice of Justification & Approval document will be made available via Contract Opportunities in accordance with FAR 6.305 after award.

This is a notice of intent of a sole source contract and not a request for competitive proposals. No solicitation will be available or issued for this requirement. If a firm believes that VA should not pursue this sole source procurement with the AE firm Apogee-CEMS JV, LLC, then they should submit information by 10:00 am CST on November 12, 2020 to angelique.mabley@va.gov. No telephone responses/inquiries will be accepted. The Department of Veterans Affairs will NOT be responsible for any costs incurred by interested parties in responding to this notice of intent. A determination by the Government to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
